Screenshots	Cut #	Description/Dialogue	Commentary
	Title2	EYECATCH B:“EPISODE #19: INTROJECTION”	UrsusArctos: Introjection is a term in psychology for when a person takes in someone else's opinions, feelings and beliefs and makes them their own. More here and here.
	103	BGM START: E-1 rhythm only [Spending Time in Preparation] The picture goes through the bridge. MAN (speaker):“All personnel, go to first stage battle positions. Prepare for a surface-to-air interception battle.”
	104	The bridge from below. Commander Ikari and Fuyutsuki are beyond Aoba. FUYUTSUKI:“The target?” AOBA:“It’s currently invading into our perimeter!” MAN:“Its within where our anti-aircraft interception auto-system is operating!” WOMAN:“As long as it’s at the Goura defensive line, throw open the armor on our entire air defense!”
	105	The angel beyond high voltage wires. AOBA (OFF):“It has broken through the Komagadake defensive line!”	UrsusArctos: The shadowy first appearance of Zeruel adds to its ominousness, and hints to the audience that they're about to face the most powerful Angel since Ramiel way back in Episode 05.
	106	Rapid fire from rocket launchers. SE <<(launching)>>
	107	Missiles firing from a building. SE <<(firing)>>	Mr. Tines: Spending the budget like water, when they know from past experience that conventional weaponry doesn't work without at least having an EVA running interference on the AT field at the same time.
	108	The angel draws near the defensive fighting of New Tokyo 3. SE <<(firing)>> There’s a flash from the angel. SE <<ビッ>> The group of buildings in front explode. SE <<(explosion)>>
	109	A pillar of cross shaped fire rises from the gap inside the buildings. SE <<(explosion)>>
	110	Monitor closeup. An alert is displayed for the 18th layer of armor. MAN (OFF):“The armor layers from 1st through 18th are destroyed?!”
	111	The bridge. The emergency elevator door beyond Hyuga opens, there’s a person inside of it (Misato) HYUGA:“…18 special armor plates in an instant!?” SE <<(opening)>> WOMAN:“The air defensive’s armor operation ratio has fallen to 78.5%!” MAN:“The target is still going strong! Its going inside point zero to attack!” WOMAN:“We haven’t observed any external injury!” MAN 2:“Its definitely going to break through the Goura line of defense! (to cut 113)”
	112	Hyuga becomes aware of Misato, who comes in with a cast. MISATO:“The Eva won't make it there in time for a ground level intercept.” She turns her face from the monitor inside and Ibuki towards Ritsuko. MISATO:“Deploy Unit Two inside the Geofront!”
	113	Misato front. She looks in Ibuki’s direction and speaks. MISATO:“Put it just next to the headquarters facilities!”
	114	Closeup of the lock bolts disconnecting. SE <<ヴァン>>
	115	Unit Two is shot up in a flash. SE <<バシュッ>>
	116	Unit two ascending. SE <<ゴーーー>> MISATO (OFF):“Asuka will shoot at the target the instant that it breaks through the Geofront.”
	117	Ibuki in front of Ritsuko. Misato is inside. MISATO:“(to Ritsuko) What about Unit zero?!” IBUKI:“Its been deployed in an AT Field neutralized zone!” Ritsuko looks at Misato. RITSUKO:“Its left arm hasn’t been regenerated.” MISATO:“Then it’s impossible for it to fight?” IKARI (OFF):“Send out Rei in Unit One.” Ritsuko and Misato face Ikari’s words. MAN 2:“It was able to absolutely break through the Goura line of defense!” WOMAN:“The target is invading the green part of area zero.” MAN:“The self-defensive system is steadily going up inside the battle! There’s still no effect!” WOMAN:“The target’s drawing near! 60 seconds until the last line of defense!”
	118	Ikari being still. He’s in his usual pose. IKARI:“Prepare the dummy plug as backup.”
	119	Closeup of the side of Misato. MISATO:“Yes, sir.”
	120	BGM END: E-1 rhythm only [Spending Time in Preparation] Being disconnected from the gantry scaffold. Its head cover part turning back. SE <<ビーーーッ ビーーーッ>> WOMAN (SPEAKER):“Entry start.”
	121	Rei inside the plug. The monitor changes over and over. IBUKI (OFF):“LCL injected.” RITSUKO (OFF):“Commence the A10 nerve connection.” All of a sudden, Rei is attacked by a feeling as if she is going to vomit. She bends her head forward somewhat, and holds her mouth. REI:“Ugh.”
	122	Returns to Rei’s head. Holds her hand to her mouth. Squints her eyes and talks some more. REI:“Its not going to work ...anymore.”
	123A	Closeup of the displays vanishing one after another. WOMAN (OFF):“The pulse is rejected.”
	123B	The circuit indicators cutting off. IBUKI (OFF):“Unit One’s nerve connection is being rejected!!”
	124	Ritsuko beyond Ibuki. RITSUKO:“No way, it can’t be!” WOMAN:“The LCL electrification ratio has fallen to 2.0!” WOMAN:“It won’t hold back the regurgitation of the pulse!” (to cut 125A)”
	125A	Ikari beyond Fuyutsuki. FUYUTSUKI:“...Ikari?” IKARI:“Yes.”
	125B	Ikari closeup. IKARI:“It is refusing me.”	Mr. Tines: Yui is having none of this nonsense, now she knows what it is.
	126	Unit One inside the cage.
	127	Rei has both hands over her mouth (her face can’t be seen) IKARI (pre-emptive dialogue):“Stop the activation.”
	128A	Closeup of the side of Ikari. IKARI:“Sortie Rei in Unit Zero.”
	128B	Bridge. Misato and Ritsuko beyond Ikari’s hands. IKARI (OFF):“Reboot Unit One with the dummy plug.” Misato objects, but Rei interrupts. MISATO:“But, Unit Zero is...” REI (OFF speaker):“I don’t mind. I will go.” Misato and Ritsuko turns around towards her voice. MISATO:“Rei?”	Zusuchan: This shot makes Gendo look super in control and everyone else as distant little workers concerned by trivial matters and it's so good. Ironic that this is right after Yui refusing his plans, though it also makes me wonder if there's a single moment where Gendo is shown as weakened in any way before sort-of ep.21 and then definitely EoE.
	128C	Rei inside the plug. Rei’s words come out in a pessimistic manner. REI (monologue):“If I die, there is a replacement.”
	129	A flash is emitted from the angel. SE <<パウッ>>	UrsusArctos: We get our first proper look at Zeruel in this shot. As noted in the Angel's article, it was designed by Yoshitoh Asari, who also designed Sachiel and Shamshel. Zeruel's design was based off the monster Zetton, which finished off Ultraman in the finale of the original Ultraman series, and it shows in the color scheme.
	130	There’s standing pillars of fire in the city! They come up one after another. SE <<(explosions)>> SHINJI (monologue, pre-emptive dialogue):“:I...”
	131	Shinji looks at the pillars of fire. SHINJI (MONO):“I decided that I wouldn’t pilot it anymore.” 4, 5 year old children:“(nothing but calls for mother and crying ad libs)” MAN:“Get to the left passage! You had better descend from that place to the number 2 route!” (background dialogue from a mob escaping) MAN (OFF right):“You! What are you doing!? Take refuge in the shelter, quickly!” SE <<(OFF right) (sounds of explosions, etc.)>>
	132	Closeup of a monitor warning. It flashes on and off. SE <<(warning sound)>> AOBA (OFF):“It’s no use!”
	133	Aoba turns around and speaks. AOBA:“One more hit and”
	134	Misato’s serious face. AOBA (OFF):“the armor will be completely broken through!” MISATO:“We’re counting on you, Asuka.”
