Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth

ANTARCTICA, 2000 A.D.

So, this is Dr. Katsuragi's Super Solenoid Theory.

This whole thing just seems so untenable!

It's just a theory.

Well, the "theory” is the only feasible explanation...

of the source of that monster's power.

Not to mention that it's already been proven, even if it was by accident.

We have proof of its existence.

Scientists.

They always think they have all the answers.

Delusions of grandeur.

They're so caught up in their dogma,

they lose their grip on reality.

And yet they're supposed to be...

leading the rest of us on the quest for truth.

How ironic. They're not so noble.

Discovery brings joy. Understanding leads to control.

They're just trying to find happiness.

Cut that surface light!

It's exceeding the projected growth limitations!

Adam's genetic structure is undergoing fusion!

A.T. Field has spread to maximum capacity.

- The Lance! Put the Lance back! - It's sinking!

Do whatever you can to minimize damage!

Commence the sub-atomic structure analysis. Hurry up!

When the Guf opens, commence heat dissipation.

Incredible! It-It's walking!

Surface team has given us a visual confirmation on walking.

The wings are going to spread! Evacuate to the surface!

Dad?

15 Years Later...

she was held by a man.

Ritsuko must think I'm pretty shameful.

Appearing to give into our sexual desires makes for...

a more realistic appearance. A good deception.

To deceive the Intelligence Department?

Or the Commander and Ritsuko?

Or me?

No, no. I meant myself.

Don't you mean the others?

You never show interest in others,

but you want their attention.

You really are just like my dad.

9 Months Earlier...

he was watching the stars.

So, tomorrow I'll be in Japan.

Misato said she'll come to pick me up at noon.

I guess I won't be seeing you for a while.

How dull.

Once you get to Japan, I'm sure you'll have lots of new boyfriends.

In fact, I heard the 3rd Child is a boy.

I don't care about any stupid little kids!

My heart belongs to you, Kaji.

7 Years Earlier...

she ran into a room.

Mama! Mama! They chose me!

I'm an elite pilot now! I'm the best in the whole world!

I must keep this a secret, but I'll only tell you, Mama!

Everybody's so nice to me now. I don't feel lonely anymore!

I'm okay now, even without my Papa around!

Look at me! Look at me, Mama!

Look, Mamma!

Asuka!

Your sync ratio has dropped an entire 8 points.

Don't think about anything else. Just concentrate!

I'm trying to!

Asuka's sync ratio is going down. What does it mean, ma'am?

It means trouble.

Let's concentrate our efforts on fixing Unit 00.

Good morning, Commander. Did you bring your child today?

Oh wait, I could have sworn you had a little boy.

Oh no, this isn't Shinji.

I've decided to take care of the child of an acquaintance.

Her name is Rei Ayanami.

Hello, Rei.

5 Years Later...

she met him again.

Shinji lkari

It's no use. This is dumb. I shouldn't have come here.

Maybe I should find a shelter.

I mustn't run away.

I mustn't run away. I mustn't run away.

Several Months Later...

he was forced to make a decision.

- Thank you, Shinji! - Kaoru, but why?

It is my destiny to live forever,

though my survival will destroy the human race.

However, it is possible for me to be killed,

and whether I live or die makes no difference.

Death is the only absolute freedom.

What? Kaoru!

I don't understand what you are talking about, Kaoru.

This is my final request.

Please, give me freedom.

Otherwise you will be destroyed.

Only one life form can be chosen to evade the destruction...

and seize the future.

They should have delivered all of your stuff already, Shinji.

I just moved here myself.

Hey, come in.

Uh... I don't... want to intrude.

Shinji, this is your home now.

I'm... I'm home.

Welcome home!

Who is she?

The only survivor of the research team.

She hasn't said a word in almost two years.

How terrible...

She saw Hell first hand.

Her physical wounds could be healed,

but repairing the psychological damage could take time.

Her name is Katsuragi...

Misato, you said?

Yup! Misato Katsuragi. Pleased to meet you!

Dear Mother,

I have just become acquainted with a girl named Katsuragi.

I understand she is the sole survivor from the original research team.

She used to be mute, but now she talks so much.

It seems like she's trying to make up for lost time!

Do I want to be good?

I have to be a good girl.

Because I have no daddy.

Because I have to be good and not bother my mommy.

But I don't want to become like my mom.

When my father is not here, she always cries.

I can't. I can't depend on anyone else.

Maybe my father won't hate me if am good.

But I hate my father.

And I hated being a good girl.

I hate it. I'm tired of it.

Misato used to go out with Kaji.

I don't really like her. Her life style is a little bit much.

Misato Katsuragi.

She's not a bad person.

So much has happened since I came here.

Before this, I lived with my teacher.

It was calm and boring in those days.

I wasn't really doing anything.
