129A
REI (OFF):“Which way do you really feel?”

SHINJI (OFF):“I don't know. No, both ways are real.”

MISATO (OFF):“And that's why you pilot the Eva, isn't it?”

SHINJI (OFF):“Because right now, the Eva is all I have.”

REI (OFF):“Because otherwise, you can't maintain your identity.”

MISATO (OFF):“It's true, Eva Unit 01 is a part of who you are.”

RITSUKO (OFF):“But if you keep clinging to the Eva, the Eva itself will become you.”

KAJI (OFF):“The Eva itself will become all you are.”

MISATO:“The real you will cease to exist.”

SHINJI (OFF):“I don't care! I never had anything to begin with anyway! Even the cello lessons I used to take all came to nothing.”

ASUKA (OFF):“That's because you never took the initiative to make something of it!”

SHINJI (OFF):“But I can pilot the Eva now!”

ASUKA (OFF):“And eventually, you won't be able to do anything without the Eva.”

Mr. Tines: There's a project here to track the images to their source cuts (for this and other flashing image cuts.


UrsusArctos: Does the real you even exist, or is the real you what you shape it into? And do you take the shape of what you base your identity on? Although Evangelion is based on the idea that there really is such a thing as "the real you", one could argue (from a Buddhist perspective) that there's no such "real you" and that you are shaped both by yourself and the people and objects around you. The Eva gives shape to Shinji in this case because he lets it shape his identity.


129B
ASUKA (OFF):“Like me.”
UrsusArctos: Asuka appears to have attained a sort of self-realization here, and what she says is true - as the person who tied her identity and sense of self most strongly to being an Eva pilot, she was the one suffered the most when she failed to do her job. As an aside, the shots in the background are all from familiar scenes, but a number of them nevertheless look off one way or the other.

SHINJI:“Because that is all I have.”


Title 1
SUBTITLE:“Last Episode

The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World”

UrsusArctos: The word for "Love" (AI) is in Katakana, which makes this a double-allusion to the Harlan Ellison short story of the same name and suggests that the title can be read "The Best That Shouted "I" at the Heart of the World", a mirror of the existential nature of Instrumentality. The use of Katakana to make puns in Japanese is not new, but Anno is an established master of this particular game (such as in Shin Eva).
