	Title 01	SUBTITLE: Episode #04 "Rain, After Running Away" SE <<The sound of rain, louder, in stereo>>	Reichu: According to Evangelion Original I, the original subtitle was "Samayoeru Third Children", or "The Wandering Third Children". Shin-seiki: Perhaps this would be an opportune point to quote from the Renewal Episode Comments for #04 included with Platinum 0:1: In actuality, this episode was once omitted in terms of the series composition and it was planned that what is now Episode Five would come after Episode Three. But as production progressed, staff members voiced their opinion that perhaps there was a need to depict Shinji's relationship with the people around him after Episode Three, and thus, this episode was made, greatly changing the contents from what had originally been conceived. Because of this, the script for this episode was written after the script for Episode Five had already been finalized. This is the one and only episode of all the TV and movie episodes in which Director Anno did not have a direct hand in the plot and script. Reichu: It seems odd to consider the prospects of episode #04 being altogether absent… if for no other reason that, at the beginning of #05, Shinji would be mysteriously buddy-buddy with Kensuke and Toji. We really do need the events of #04 to explain how the friendships formulate; just letting them into the entry plug in #03 so they can "see Ikari's pain" is hardly enough!
