SHINJI (MONO):“Everyone, including Toji and Kensuke, lost their homes and left.”
UrsusArctos: These sunset shots are as beautiful as they are melancholic and prefigure the credits scene of Death, adding to the feeling of desolation from Shinji's monologue. Incidentally, the mysterious moving explosion crater from last episode has flooded other small craters on the side.
Dr. Nick: After central Tokyo-3 was poofed out of existence in an anticlimactic way in the last episode, this one attempts to make the scale of the destruction more concrete. And the desolation in view of course matches what Shinji is feeling at the moment.
