	250		UrsusArctos: This sequence (cuts 250-257) appears to be the only traditional super-robot style launch in all of Eva, with the pilots sitting in heroically determined poses as they move out to challenge their enemy.
	251
	252
	253		Pluto: First combat sortie of Blue Unit 00!
	254
	255
	256
	257
	258		Frogatr: Taking a good look at our "daddy longlegs" Angel, The closest species i could find resembling Matarael is of the Leiobunum genus of harvestmen.
	259
	260	HYUGA:“The target appears to have halted directly above us!”
	261	RITSUKO:“Get ready! Hurry up!”
	262
	263	IBUKI:“The emergency batteries have been loaded!”
	264	RITSUKO:“All right, we can do this!”
	265	RITSUKO:“Launch!”
	266	ASUKA (OFF):“Geez!”	UrsusArctos: The rather embarrassing-looking crawling makes for a neat contrast from all those heroic poses at launch! The emergency batteries are the large black rectangles fitted on the back of their fins. There's a lot that these batteries could have been put to use for tactically, but we never see them again after this episode. As ASW_Canuck notes on the forum, the batteries attach to the same section of the fins that attaches to the Eva launch rails, meaning you can't use one without sacrificing use of the other. And really, shouldn't the batteries plug in to the power cable attachment on the back?
	267	ASUKA:“This is SO uncool!”
	268	REI:“We're approaching the vertical shaft.”
	269		UrsusArctos: Asuka uses Eva-02 to kick down the access door in the same way she kicked Shinji in the face in 224, and before that she'd kicked the door to the outside (and the Angel) open. She seems to have a distinct preference for kicking things.
	270
	271
	272
	273	ASUKA:“This is still uncool.”
	274
	275
	276		Mr. Tines: The tears of an angel.
	277
	278	REI:“Watch out! Dodge!”
	279
	280
	281
	282
	283	ASUKA (OFF):“No!”
	284
	285
	286		UrsusArctos: Shinji's look of horror (HELP!!! There are two Evas falling right on top of me!!!) is pretty comical, and it would've been funnier we'd gotten a cut of Asuka yelling and Rei stoically bearing having Asuka come down on top of her before seeing this.
	287
	288
	289		UrsusArctos: While it is usually Asuka and Shinji who end up in undignified heaps (like Cut 227 and in Episode 09), Eva-02 falling on top of Eva-00 has the result of adding Rei to this particular pile-up.
	290
	291
	292
	293
	294
	295		UrsusArctos: After seeing Angels with distinctly inhuman eyes use standard giant monster optical blasts (albeit with nonstandard explosion shapes), seeing an Angel with a strangely human eye crying tears of acid up-close is creepy. Frogatr: This is why Matarael is known as "The Angel of Rain" Zusuchan: Looks like intense crying rather than rain. (Yet another sad, confused Angel.)
