Events Synopsis

Shinji tries to adjust to his new life in Tokyo-3, but he has little enthusiasm for piloting. His relation with Misato is still distant, and he has made no friends at school. When his identity as a pilot is discoved by his classmates, Suzuhara Toji, whos sister was injured in the battle with Sachiel, gives Shinji a beating in retalitation.

Shamshel attacks Tokyo-3 and Shinji is mobilised in Unit-01 to defend the city. Aida Kensuke and Toji sneak out of their shelter to watch the battle from nearby. The battle goes poorly for Nerv, when Shinji loses his nerve to fight and is tossed into the air by Shamshel, almost killing Toji and Kensuke as he lands.

To protect them from the battle, Misato orders Toji and Kensuke to take refuge in the the Evangelion's entry plug. Inside, Toji sees Shinji's great anguish and pain as he defeats the Angel, and is beset by remourse. Days later, Kensuke gives Toji the number of Shinji's phone so he can apologise. Toji attempts to ring, but stops, and the episode ends.
