	Title2	EYECATCH B:“EPISODE #10: MAGMADIVER”	Dr. Nick: EPISODE #10: ASUKA LANGLEY SORYU DIES IN MAGMA Additional Commentary   A reference to the highly memetic title of episode 6 of the Mazinkaiser OVA, Kouji Kabuto Dies In Magma, which is a bit of false advertising since Kouji Kabuto does not in fact die in magma. The villains do dump him into an active volcano, but since the titular mech is such a brick shithouse of defense, Kouji is mostly worried that he might starve to death while being trapped within molten rock.
	142		UrsusArctos: That's one heck of an awkward way to carry Eva-02. We'll see other instances of Evangelions being carried in positions where it'd be impossible for the aircraft to lower their landing gear later in the series, but this looks to be the first chronologically. (Note that Eva-01, in contrast, is fitted flush under its aircraft) Mr. Tines: While we've seen an Eva drop from being transported back in Episode 07 (Cut 245 et seq.), the logistics of the take-off are more challenging.
	143
	144	WOMAN (OFF):“Eva Units 01 and 02 have arrived.”
	145	MISATO:“Have both units stand by in position. Move in the laser bore, and ready the crane.” HYUGA:“Roger.”
	146	MAN (OFF):“Boom arm fixed in place.” WOMAN (OFF):“Coolant circulation system going on auto.”
	147	ASUKA:“Hey, where's Mr. Kaji?” MISATO:“That jerk won't be here. There's nothing for him to do.” ASUKA:“Damn! I wanted him to see how great I am.”
	148	WOMAN:“So, an A-17 has been ordered. That includes the freeze of all current assets.”
	149	KAJI:“I'm sure there are many people who will be put out by that.” KAJI:“I didn't have any excuse. The order was official.” WOMAN:“Why didn't you stop them?” WOMAN:“But if Nerv fails, it'll mean the end of the world.”	Mr. Tines: The plot thickens.
	150	KAJI:“They're not that arrogant.”	Zusuchan: Not that arrogant to fail? Or not that arrogant to think the world depends on them that much?
	151		UrsusArctos: The flashes in the sky constitute yet another Andromeda tribute, the second after the Misato-Aoba conversation.
	152	SHINJI:“What are those?”
	153	RITSUKO (OFF):“The UN's Air Force is on standby alert.” IBUKI (OFF):“Until this mission has been completed.”
	154	ASUKA:“Are they going to help us?”
	155	RITSUKO (OFF):“No, they're here to clean up.” IBUKI (OFF):“In case we fail.”
	156	ASUKA:“What do you mean?”
	157	RITSUKO:“They will use N2 depth charges to destroy the Angel, and us with it.”
	158	ASUKA:“That's awful!”
	159	SHINJI:“Who would order something like that?” RITSUKO (OFF):“Commander Ikari.”
	160
	161	WOMAN (OFF):“Laser operation, complete.”
	162	HYUGA (OFF):“Unit 02 is in position to dispatch.” MAN (OFF):“The bore path has been secured.” WOMAN (OFF):“The Type D equipment is functioning normally.”
	163	MISATO:“Roger. Asuka,”
	164	MISATO (OFF):“are you ready?” ASUKA:“Anytime you are.”
	165	MISATO:“Launch!”
	166
	167
	168
	169	ASUKA:“Looks hot!”
	170
	171
	172	IBUKI:“Unit 02 is entering the lava.”
	173	ASUKA:“Watch this, Shinji!”	Zusuchan: Asuka really likes to show off and it shows how lonely and dependent on praise and adoration she really is.
	174
	175	ASUKA:“Giant stroke entry!”
	176
	177	ASUKA (OFF):“Current depth, 170. speed of descent, 20. No problems detected.”
	178	ASUKA:“Visibility is zero. I can't see a thing. Switching to CT monitor.”	Mr. Tines: The "red water" for benefit of the audience is presumably also what that monitor system is showing.
	179	ASUKA:“Even with this, visibility is no more than 120.”
