	131A	TEXT:“The year is 2015 A.D. Third Angel”	UrsusArctos: For those paying attention to the cut numbers, it seems that the clip show/recap was originally meant to be Part B of the episode and Part A would start with Rei's monologue. At some time in the production process, this got flipped, hence the episode's first half is the clip show, but it still begins with Cut 131A. Zusuchan: Honestly one of the most consistently underrated episodes of the series. For my money, this is the episode where you can really see Eva's descent into psychological introspection truly starting, rather than episode 16-and the entire latter half of this episode is truly wonderful.

	132	TEXT:“Sachiel Attacks”	Mr. Tines: As well as a recap, there's the lore-dump where we get the names for these angels. Dr. Nick: Considering what a wobbly production this show was, I'm lowkey amazed there's only half an episode of recap filler. (I don't count Death as it's a different sort of animal; compilation films are a sign of success rather than a result of a crunch.)

	167	MISATO (OFF):“Although, as a result, the damage we incurred was extensive,”
	170	MISATO (OFF):“the fact is that, against an unknown target,” TEXT:“And with the Third Angel and Unit 01 The confirmation of an AT field” TEXT:“The confirmation of an AT field”
	168	MISATO (OFF):“a boy with zero experience went out on his first battle and soundly defeated it.”	Dr. Nick: So, whom is this report intended for since it astroturfs the whole berserker incident? That once-mentioned city council, perhaps?
	169	MISATO (OFF):“Shinji Ikari's achievement is deserving of special notice.”

	185	TOJI (OFF):“She got hurt in that mess the other day. And hurt from our side goin' crazy, not the enemy!”
	186	TOJI (OFF):“I can't believe how stupid that was. It's unforgivable!”	Zusuchan: Unless Nerv is super-creepy and thinks a random student best known for his association with one of the pilots is obviously necessary interview material, I'd say this is pretty big proof that for all the report aesthetics, this recap is very much a recap for the show at large and not that concerned about the in-universe implications. In a way, it makes me wonder why the recap was even made into a report for the Committee to begin with.

	188	TOJI (OFF):“I'd like to show the adult who made that robot”
	189	TOJI (OFF):“my sister's sufferin' and my anger!”
