	101	Flashback scene. Shinji in his plugsuit, hands UP. Misato (OFF):“"Why did you ignore my orders?"”	Sharp-kun: This was the first scene in which Shinji really got to me. I would quite happily have hit him several times for his attitude here. OMF: Shinji is very out of character in this scene. The reason is probobly that he's realised what he still hadn't in #03/161: He's here because they need him to pilot Eva. He's probably feeling a lot of ambivalence about this, as he's both powerful and powerless at the same time. On the one hand, people need him — he's not useless and is, in fact, essential. But, on the other hand, he believes he's just a pilot to them now, doing something he hates for people who don't really care about him at all. He probably thinks everyone is laughing at him and he's finally gotten the joke. The following conversation will only reinforce that belief.
