Guides:Episode 22 OA vs. DC
Most cuts are simple retakes, with some being more extensive than others (i.e., completely redone from scratch, vs. simply having the cel element redone). See also the comments.
NOTE: In the Renewal version of OA 22, very little of the actual OA footage remains intact; in most cases, it is replaced with the revised DC equivalents. In such cases, screenshots were acquired from an earlier DVD release (hence the discrepancy in image quality).
Scene 01: So look at me!
Cut | OA | DC | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
292 ~ 309 |
New scene for the DC, it replaces the OP in the OA.
22' is the only Evangelion TV episode that omits the opening sequence. |
...
E_A | |
The DC uses the eyecatch A at the end of the first scene, where the OA used it at the end of Part A (scene 05).
Again, this is the only episode in the TV series where this happens, aside than Episode 24 which uses a custom title screen / eyecatch A at the end of Part A. |

Cut | OA | DC | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
001A | New cut for the DC. | ||
001/ 001B |
Completely redrawn for the DC. The OA has a fade from black to transition from the OP, and zooms out somewhat slower.
Audio changes: Added funeral bells from cut 001A, and different excavation sounds. | ||
005 | Completely redrawn. The DC also adds new images and makes this cut longer, moving into this cut some of the lines from 006. | ||
006 | Replaced in the DC by cut 290 from Episode 25, with a different background.
Audio changes: The DC moves all the doctor's lines into 005, removes the announce, and add the doctor's moans. | ||
012 | Redrawn. | ||
014 | Redrawn. | ||

The DC adds more lights. Additionally, they were redone for Renewal. | ||

Scene 03: A total stranger
Cut | OA | DC | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
024A | The lights on top of Misato's apartment block are brighter in the OA. | ||
025 | Pen-Pen has a sweatdrop in the OA, and his backpack is colored differently. | ||
033 | The DC version is more detailed. | ||
041 | A lot of cuts were redrawn in this scene - look at the eyes, they're more of an oval shape in the DC. | ||
043 | |||
044A | Audio changes: the OA has the usual train sound effect, while the DC replaces it with a dog barking. | ||
044C | |||
045 | |||

C063 | The bar is now a lot more detailed in the DC. Even the background has been improved. | ||
C064 | |||

C067 | |
|
DC Ritsuko is visibly sullied, which isn't evident in the original. Her expression also immediately differs from C065. |
C068 |
Scene 05: I am not a puppet
Cut | OA | DC | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
C069 | |
|
Asuka's reflection removed.
Look closely - the dress in the reflection doesn't look like Asuka's one at all. That's Ritsuko from Episode 13! Yay for recycling! |
C070 | |||
C073 | DC Asuka's expression is "weary" from the start, rather than simply surly. | ||
C075 | |
|
DC opts to cut away with Asuka not quite so close to the camera. |
C078 | |
OA: Asuka blinks at a point (not shown here). DC: Asuka "sniffles" instead. | |
C079 | |
|
|
C081 | |
|
DC Asuka straightens her neck out rather than tilts her head. |
C083 | |
|
DC Asuka "pushes" her face to the side when she speaks, instead of lifting her face before bringing it down. |
C084 | The Asuka element is redone. | ||
C085 | |
|
The two versions begin with Asuka's gesticulations "matching up", but DC soon diverges. Asuka's dialogue is provided as the common element.
Asuka: "What?!" |
"Are you so happy that I can't pilot my Eva?!" | |||
"There's nothing to worry about! If another Angel attacks us, | |||
|
"the great, invincible Shinji-sama will take care of it for us!" | ||
|
|
"We don't have to do anything!" | |
C088 | |||
C090 | |
|
OA: Asuka's face is in a different position from the end of C088. She simply brings it down when she speaks. DC: Asuka's head starts in the same position as C088. She aggressively jerks her face to the side (with her hair subsequently settling into place). |
C092 | |
|
|
104 | The cut is longer in the DC, as the camera zooms out more slowly.
Audio changes: added a new line for Asuka in the DC: “So, you're finally back to normal after losing like that!” | ||
105 | Audio changes: interestingly, Asuka's line was redubbed in the DC. | ||
107 | |||
109 | |||
111 | |||
E_A | The DC used Eyecatch A back at the end of Scene 01. |
Scene 06: Arael
Cut | OA | DC | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
E_B | The 22' designation for the DC episode was added in Renewal. | ||
114 | Different lightning between OA and DC. In the OA version the Angel appears to be drawn in two different shades of white. | ||
117 | The DC changes the collar of Misato's uniform to fix continuity with cut 129. Strangely, Misato's cross is not visible in any of the two versions. | ||
118 | Redrawn in the DC, adding a lot of details to Hyuga's chair and a new background. | ||
119 | |||
121 | |||
123 | |||
128 | Misato's cross isn't visible in the OA. | ||
129 | OA zooms in, while DC remains stationary. Cuts 117, 121 and 128 were redrawn in the DC to match how Misato is wearing the collar of ther uniform in this cut. | ||
132 | |||
143A | Redrawn for the DC, including a background that's noticeably different.
Audio changes: the positron rifle makes a slightly different (and much louder) sound. | ||
144 | The DC adds a close-up on Asuka's face at the end of the cut. | ||
148 | A completely new visor and HUD for the DC. Arael is much more visible in the new version. | ||
150 |
Scene 07: Hallelujah
Cut | OA | DC | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
C154 | Bridge crew brought out of silhouette and given "surprised" poses. Light attack intensified. Different font used for display screen. Image cropped more tightly. | ||
C156 | Display completely redone. | ||
157 | Audio changes: the background noise of the display in cut 156 continues in the DC. | ||
158 | |||
C160 | |
|
|
C164 | |
|
The fire from the positron rifle now has a much higher arch. Arael's silhouette redone (with the three little "stars" removed, in addition) and placed further from the camera. Some left-to-right panning added.
Audio changes: the fire makes a different and much louder noise in the DC while it crosses the screen. |
C166 | |||
174 | Ritsuko's faces moves to the left at the end of the cut in the DC. |
Scene 08: Contamination
Cut | OA | DC | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|---|
182B | EVA-02's eyes shine much brighter in the DC during this sequence. | |||
183A |
All the panels containing the word "sex" were censored in the OA and then included uncut in the DC. But what's interesting is that they were censored again in Renewal for both OA and DC! The "sex" panels only appear in the original non-remastered DC, they're nowhere to be found on Renewal or Platinum. | |||
189 | Audio changes: the noise from the screen in cut 188 continues in the DC. | |||
206 | Audio changes: the noise from the screen in cut 205 continues in the DC up to cut 211. | |||
C207 | ||||
C208 | |
New animation created (versus the OA's recyclage). | ||
209 | ||||
210 | ||||

Scene 09: Nein Tod
Cut | OA | DC | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|---|
214 | ||||
215 | Redrawn with more detail in the DC, which also zooms out slower than the OA. | |||
217 | ...

Same "censorship" as seen in 183A. Again, no "SeX" anywhere in Renewal or Platinum. |

New cut. | |
C259C | |

Scene 13: Amen
Cut | OA | DC | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
C266 | |
|
Eva-00 is redone, now animated pulling the Spear back as she aims. |
C267 | |
|
The animation is redrawn and "extended": The foot's placement is initially different, but it subsequently "follows the path" of the original. |
C268 | |
|
|
271 | |||
C272 | |
Audio change: The Spear (?) now makes a "roaring" sound. | |
C274 in the OA is replaced with C274A ~ C274C. | |||
C274A | |
New cut. | |
C274B | |
New cut. | |
C274 (OA)/ C274C (DC) |
|
|
C274C follows the original C274 closely, while adding a more distinct "membranous" element to the ATF. A new frame of animation is also added onto the very end. |
275 | |||
C276 | |
|
Different background painting. The purplish sphere expands to a much larger size and lasts a longer duration before fading out. The twinkle of light is now still visible at the end of the cut, whereas it faded out before. The "Wings of Light" sound effect from Episode 12 has been removed. |
Scene 14: I hate everyone
Cut | OA | DC | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
C278 | |
|
|
C280 | |
Fuyutsuki now remains stationary, rather than raising his body again before speaking. | |
C282B | |
|
OA: The Spear simply drifts from left to right across the screen. Earth is visible below. DC: The Spear revolves in space, occasionally catching some light. Appears to be a simple utilization of CGI. |
