Beyond the buildings, Eva is dragged down. Shamshel flings her.
Reichu: Continuing my rant from 200, it almost seems as though Shamshel is like a cat, playing with her prey (which, here, involves sadistically dragging Sho across the ground and throwing her into a mountain) before she delivers the coup de grace. Shinji should appreciate the break these first Angels are giving him, eh?
On a side note — damn, those flimsy whips are tough! They're completely impervious to whatever ridiculous figure an Eva must weigh. Even Sachiel, with his inflato-muscles, had to exert himself somewhat to lift Sho as high as he did.
Dr. Nick: Let's not forget Law of Anime #2:
Law of Differentiated Gravitation
Whenever someone or something jumps, is thrown, or otherwise is rendered airborn, gravity is reduced by a factor of 4.
