	141	The captain shouts into the microphone (with his little finger in the air). CAPTAIN:“No! Halt the activation! Reverse the sequence!!”	Sailor Star Dust: Wasn't this a Junichi Sato* episode (under "Kiichi Hadame" for his Eva storyboard work), too? Or was that mainly 9? The fun animation feels like his style. Of Sailormoon fame. Also Aria, Princess Tutu, and many others. UrsusArctos: Junichi Sato ("Kiichi Hadame") is credited for Episodes 04, 05, 15 and 21. The storyboards for this episode are credited to the original Baka-Shinji himself, Shinji Higuchi. Given the level of naval nerdery involved, I'd say this makes complete sense. Kendrix: Who are the boy scouts now? But this sort of insistence on protocol in super urgent situations is alas a lot more common than I used to think as a teen, nowadays this looks a lot less tropey & a lot more “only just barely exaggerated”
		Misato suddenly snatches the microphone away (with her little finger likewise in the air). MISATO:“It's fine! Asuka, launch!!” CAPTAIN:“What did you say!? The Eva and its pilot are both under our authority. I will not permit you to just do what you please.”
		The captain and Misato struggle to control the microphone. MISATO:“What are you talking about? We're in an emergency. Who cares about the procedure!”
