Synopsis
Episode 25' is the first part of The End of Evangelion, which ends the series.
The episode begins immediately after the events of Episode 24'. Having been left alone at the lake by Misato, Shinji attempts suicide by drowning. Unsuccessful, the suicidally-depressed boy visits the comatose Asuka in her hospital room, begging for her help because he's "Scared of Misato-san and Ayanami." Desperate, he repeatedly asks her to help him. Beginning to cry because Asuka's not responding, Shinji manages to shake her so hard that Asuka's vital monitors and hospital gown become undone, exposing her breasts. Shinji masturbates at the sight, but feels even worse about himself afterwards because he says "I'm the lowest".
Meanwhile, it's discovered that Seele is trying to hack into the Magi, all in an effort to bring about Third Impact on their own terms by using the Evangelions. Gendo, however, has his own plans for Third Impact since "Death gives life to nothing".
Ritsuko, who was brought out of solitary confinement, is able to change the program so the Magi won't be taken over. Keel orders the JSSDF to attack Nerv Headquarters since a peaceful invasion proves to be impossible.
Knowing that the Force's main targets will be the Evangelion pilots, Misato orders that
Misato, who was able to discover the truth about what caused Second Impact, passes this information onto Shinji. It turns out that humanity is born from a source of life that's equal to Adam known as Lilith, and that Adam's offspring were simply "humans that gave up human form", meaning humanity and Angels are one and the same. Misato also states that Mankind is the final Angel, the 18th.
Misato ends up getting shot due to protecting Shinji. She tries to get him out of his suicidally-depressed state by telling him that he does have value in his life so he shouldn't give up so easily. Kissing him goodbye, Misato promises Shinji that they'll "do the rest when [he] gets back", which causes the stunned Shinji to fall back into the elevator which takes him to Unit 01. Misato calls out for Pen-Pen and asks Kaji if she did the right thing. The floor she's on explodes just as a messenger of Rei III appears.
While Asuka and Kyoko's battle rages on, Ritsuko appears to Gendo and Rei, admitting that she changed the Magi program in an effort to die together with her mother. At the realization that Casper "chose her man over her daughter", Gendo uses Ritsuko's shock to shoot the scientist, killing her.
