Neon Genesis Evangelion
Episode 24
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asuka: Mom! Mom!
They selected ME!
I'm an elite pilot, about to protect mankind.
The best in the world.
It's a secret to everybody.
But I'll tell you, mom!
Everybody is so nice to me,
that I'm not lonely.
I'm OK, even though I don't have father.
Look at me! Me!
Hey Mom!
--
Asuka: Syncro rate Zero.
I've no capacity to be the Second Children.
I've no reason to exist.
No one looks at me.
Not daddy, mom, or anybody.
There's no reason for me to live.
Staff: You are Soryuu Asuka Langley?
--
Makoto: Second section of Inteligence Division says
the Second Children was captured alive.
Misato: I see.
They found her 7 days after they lost her.
That isn't like them.
Makoto: Maybe it was on purpose, then.
The Planning Division is trying to make trouble for us.
Misato: It could be.
(And, today, the Fifth will arrive to replace Asuka.
The scenario is too prearranged.)
--
Shinji: Ayanami Rei,
It may be correct... that impression.
My mom's ...
Rei and my Mom...
What is my Father doing for these two?
--
Ritsuko: Commander Ikari,
My cat died,
which my grandma had been taking care of.
I hadn't been taking care of it for a long time.
Suddenly now, I cannot see it again.
Gendou: Why did you destroy the Dummy System?
Ritsuko: It's not the Dummy System, but Rei who I destroyed.
Gendou: I ask you once more.
Why?!
Ritsuko: Now, I'm not happy even if you hold me.
You can do anything you like to my body,
as you did before.
Gendou: I was disappointed by you.
Ritsuko: Disappointed?
You have neither expectations nor hopes for me.
I have, nothing, nothing ...
what shall I do, mom.?
--
Shinji: Where has Asuka been?
(What should I talk to her about?
Tell her about Ayanami?)
--
Shinji: (Touji and Kensuke lost their houses here and went
away somewhere.
No friends, I have no friends here.
No one.
I don't want to see Ayanami.
I lost the courage to see her.
How should I act with her?
Asuka, Misato-san, Mom,
What Shall I do? What!
A boy: (humming Beethoven's "Ode to Joy")
A song is good!
Shinji: Eh?
A Boy: A song brings us joy.
A song is the highest culture that Lilims have created.
Don't you think so?
Ikari Shinji-kun?
Shinji: You know my name?
A Boy: Everyone knows your name.
Excuse me, but you had better be aware of your own position.
Shinji: Is that so?
Well, who are you?
A Boy: I'm Kaoru.
Nagisa Kaoru (Kaoru of the Seashore.)
Just like you, I am one of the selected children.
I am the Fifth Children.
Shinji: Fifth Children!?
You? Nagisa-kun?
Kaoru: Call me "Kaoru," Ikari-kun.
Shinji: Alright, call me Shinji.
Kaoru: (Laugh)
Makoto: Reportedly, the Fifth Children has just arrived.
--
Misato: Nagisa Kaoru.
The record of his life has already been deleted, like Rei.
Makoto: One thing we know is that his birthday is the very day
of Second Impact.
Misato: The Committee sent him directly to us.
He has something.
Makoto: The information on the Fifth in the Malduk report is not
permitted for publication.
For this reason, I secretly investigated the data in
the Inteligence division.
Misato: Oh, you risked too much.
Makoto: That risk was worth it.
I know where Ritsuko-san is.
How are you going to do the syncro-test for the Fifth?
Misato: Today I don't have any plans to cheat.
Let's see his ability.
--
Fuyutsuki: Down 0.3 more.
Maya: Yes sir.
Fuyutsuki: Is there any mistake in this reading?
Makoto: The testing system is operating normally.
Maya: No data error detected by Magi.
Fuyutsuki: It's amazing that this boy syncronizes with unit two
before replacing the core.
Maya: Yet, I can't believe it.
I mean, it's impossible on this system.
Misato: Nevertheless, it's a fact.
We must accept the fact and then investigate the cause.
--
Kaoru: You are, the First Children?
Ayanami Rei.....
You are the same as me.
Rei: Who are you?
--
Fuyutsuki: I hear that the Fifth boy contacted Rei.
Gendou: Is that so?
Fuyutsuki: Magi are doing their best to scan the data on the Fifth.
--
Misato: Still, we don't yet known what he really is.
What is he, that boy?
--
Penpen: quaquqaa
Misato: Shinji-kun has not returned.
I am disqualified as his guardian.
--
Announce: Central Dogma is being opened now.
Use 3d route for the transfer.
Shinji: hm?
Kaoru: Hey.
You were waiting for me?
Shinji: Oh, no I did... I didn't mean to.
Kaoru: Today is?
Shinji: Well, the usual test was over and,
I was going to have a shower before I went home.
But, I don't want to go home these days.
Kaoru: You have a house, or a home to go to.
That fact makes you happy. That's nice.
Shinji: Is that so?
Kaoru: I want to talk with you some more.
May I go with you?
Shinji: Eh?
Kaoru: I mean to the shower.
Aren't you going to shower?
Shinji: Yeah...
Kaoru: You mean "no"?
Shinji: Oh, yes. I don't mean NO.
--
Kaoru: You avoid contact of the first kind at all costs.
do you fear to feel other people?
Being ignorant of others, you will never be betrayed
or hurt, though you will never escape from feeling sadness.
A person cannot erase sadness forever.
Everyone is alone.
However, people can forget, and so they are able to live.
Shinji: Oh!
Shinji: It's time.
Kaoru: It's over?
Shinji: We have to go to bed.
Kaoru: Together with you?
Shinji: Ah... no, you are provided with your own, different room .
Kaoru: Well, people always feel pain in their hearts.
The heart is easy to wound, that's why living is painful.
In particular, your heart is fragile like glass.
Shinji: Me?
Kaoru: Worthy of love.
Shinji: Love?
Kaoru: I mean, I love you.

--B PART---
Seele: NERV, the system established to act under us of Seele.
Seele: Founded to play our scenario.
Seele: Now, it has been exclusively taken by one person.
Seele: Aye. We must take it back.
Seele: Before the day of promise.
Kihl: Let NERV and Eva-series be as they should be.
Ikari, you are responsible of betraying Seele.
--
Gendou: The time remaining to us is short.
And, now we don't have Lancea Longini that would prevent
us from realizing our hopes.
The final Angel will soon appear.
When we erase that, our hopes will come true.
Wait a little, Yui.
--
Rei: Why am I here?
Why am I still alive?
For what?
For whom?
The Fifth children.
He looks something like me.
Why?
--
Misato: We are lucky because we live in the suburb of the city.
You were not involved, I'm glad about that.
Yet, next time, I cannot garantee that.
So, you will be taken care of at Horaki-san's from tomorrow.
So long, PenPen.
PenPen: Quaa, quaquauu.
Misato: (Sigh)
--
Kaoru: Really, I should be on the floor.
Shinji: Oh, you shouldn't. It's me who asked you to let me stay here.
It's OK if I sleep here.
Kaoru: What do you want to say?
Shinji: Eh?
Kaoru: You have something that you want me to hear.
Shinji: I've experienced many things since I came here.
I was at my teacher's before.
Silent and calm days.
I did nothing but exist.
That was fine with me.
I had nothing to do.
Kaoru: You dislike people?
Shinji: Well, I don't really care.
Except for my father, who I hate.
(Why am I talking about this kind of thing to Kaoru-kun?)
Kaoru: (Laugh)
Kaoru: (Sigh)
Kaoru: I might have been born to meet you.
--
Misato: Well? You've got HIS data?
Makoto: Here you go.
I borrowed this from First Lieutenant Ibuki without
her permission.
Misato: I am sorry for that I made you do something like a thief.
What's this?
Makoto: It's quite natural that Maya-chan cannot publish this.
It's theorically imppossible.
Misato: Hmm, yes.
The mystery increases.
He can arrange any syncro ratio freely, of his own will.
We must do anything we can, without considering
what others think.
--
Ritsuko: You dared to come here.
Misato: I have one thing to ask you.
Ritsuko: This conversation is being recorded.
Misato: I don't care.
What is that boy, the Fifth?
Ritsuko: Probably... the final messenger.
--
Kaoru: Well, let's go.
Come, Adam's alter ego, and the servant of the Lilim.
--
Makoto: Eva Unit Two started!
Misato: What the hell!
Asuka...?
Shigeru: ...in hospital room 303.
It's confirmed.
Misato: Then who is ...?
Maya: It's unmanned.
Entry plug has not been inserted.
Misato: Unmanned?
Isn't it the Fifth?
Makoto: A.T. Field generation detected in Central Dogma.
Misato: Unit 2?
Makoto: No, Pattern is Blue.
No doubt. It's an ANGEL!
Misato: What?!
Misato: An Angel?
That boy?
Operator: Target passing by the fourth level.
Still descending.
Shigeru: No good.
Cannot disconnect the power supply to the Linear Motor Car.
Operator: Target passing by the fifth lvel.
Fuyutsuki: Close all bulkheads in Central Dogma!
Anything to gain time.
Operator: Close all levels in the direction of five o'clock.
All personnel, Evacuate. All personnel, Evacuate.
Fuyutsuki: Seele dared to send it directly to us.
Gendou: The old man is trying to advance the schedule,
using us.
--
Seele: The final Angel has invaded Central dogma.
Now descending.
Seele: Just according to our schedule.
Kihl: Ikari, you were our good friend and brother, sharing the same
purpose; our collaborator who understood us.
This is the last job.
We hope you complete it, with Unit One.
--
Shigeru: Armoured bulkheads broken through by Eva Unit Two.
Makoto: Target passing the second level.
Gendou: Eva Unit One will pursue!
Misato: Yes Sir!
Gendou: Use any means.
Do not allow the target to invade Terminal Dogma.
Misato: But why is the Angel using Unit Two?
Fuyutsuki: Is he trying to unite withUnit Two?
Gendou: Or to lead to destruction.
--
Shinji: NO NO NO, IT MUST BE A LIE!
Kaoru-kun is an Angel?
That MUST BE LIE!
Misato: It's true. Accept the facts.
Sortie, OK?
--
Kaoru: Shinji hasn't come yet.
--
Operator: Eva Unit One, descending through ROUTE 2.
Pursuing the target.
--
Shinji: You betrayed me!
You betrayed my heart!
You betrayed me like my father!
--
Shigeru: Unit One reached the fourth layer.
Contacting the target.
--
Shinji: You're here.
Kaoru: I've been waiting for you.
Shinji: Kaoru-kun..
Shinji: Asuka! Sorry!
Kaoru: Evae, factae de Adamo, the beings detested by humans.
Still, the Lilims are trying to survive by using them.
I can't understand why.
Shinji: Kaoru-kun STOP!
I don't see Why.
Kaoru: Eva is made of the same body as me.
Because I am also the natus de Adamo.
When the unit does not have a soul, I can unite.
The soul of this unit is shutting itself up now.
Shinji: A.T. Field!
Kaoru: Yes. You Lilims call it so.
The holy region that must not be invaded by anyone.
The light of mind.
You, Lilims, are aware of that.
Aware that the A.T. Field is the wall of mind that everyone has.
Shinji: I don't understand that! Kaoru-kun!
Shinji: GU,GAAAAA,,
--
Operator: Both Eva units have reached the last level.
Operator: 20 until the Target reaches Terminal Dogma.
Misato: When something happens, after the signal from
Unit One disappears...
Makoto: I know.
You are going to self destruct this place.
It's better than letting Third Impact take place.
Misato: I'm sorry.
Makoto: Not at all, I can die with you.
Misato: Thanks.
--
Kaoru: The destination of people?
The hope of people is the thread of sadness.
--
Misato: What's that?
Makoto: The strongest A.T. Field we've ever seen.
Shigeru: Light waves, electromagnetic waves and particles are shut out.
We can't monitor anything.
Misato: That's a Barrier?
Maya: The Target, Eva Units Two and One, all missing.
Cannot connect to the pilot.
--
Shinji: gggggg,
Kaoru-kun!
Shinji: Wait!
--
Shigeru: Final safety system released.
Makoto: Heaven's Door is opening.
Misato: The Angel has arrived?
Hyuuga-kun!
--
Shinji WOW!
What!
--
Misato: Status?
Makoto: It's an A.T.Field.
Shigeru: Another A.T. Field, similar to the previous one,
has been generated around Terminal Dogma.
Maya: Invading the Barrier.
Misato: Does that mean another Angel?
Shigeru: Impossible.
No, cannot confirm.
AH! I mean, it vanished.
Misato: Vanished?
An Angel?
--
Kaoru: Adam, our mother being.
Those born from Adam must return to Adam,
even anihilating humanity?
No! It's different.
This is Lilith.
I see. I understand, Lilim.
Kaoru: Thank you Shinji-kun.
I wished you to keep Unit Two.
Otherwise, I might have lived with her.
Shinji: Kaoru-kun, why?
Kaoru: I've been destined to live forever, even if
humanity is annihilated as a result.
However, I am able to die.
To be or not to be. It makes no difference to me.
My death is the only absolute liberty.
Shinji: What, What are you talking about?
Kaoru-kun! I don't understand what you're talking about!
Kaoru-kun!
Kaoru: My last words.
Kaoru: Now, please erase me.
Otherwise you will be erased.
The life that escapes the time of annihilation,
and that obtains the future, is only one.
And, you are not the one who must die.
All of you need the future.
Thank you. I am glad to have met you.
--
Shinji: Kaoru-kun, said "I love you."
To me!
For the first time, for the first time I heard those words.
He looked like me.
He looked like Ayanami.
I loved him.
Kaoru-kun should have been the one to survive.
He was much better than I am.
He should have survived.
Misato: No.
A surviver only needs the will to survive.
He wished to die.
He abandoned the will to live, and depended on false hope.
You were not wrong.
Shinji: You are cold, Misato-san.
---B PART:END---
Trailer,
The final Angel vanished.
Yet, Shinji is anguished.
And Misato, Asuka express their minds,
seeking salvation,
admitting that this is another way of conclusion.

Ikari Shinji. In his case,
The boy wished to die.
The other boy accepted this wish.
The Final Angel disappeared.
Yet, Ikari Shinji is anguished.
Why did you kill?
Why did you kill?
Why did you kill?
Why did you kill?
Why did you kill?
Shinji: There was no other choice!
Why did you kill?
Shinji: Because Kaoru-kun was an Angel!
Although he was human as well?
Shinji: No! An Angel!
He was our enemy!
Although he was human as well?
Shinji: NO! NO! I SAID NO!
Rei: He was a human the same as me.
Shinji: NO!
He was an Angel!
Rei: So you killed?
Shinji: THAT'S RIGHT!
Otherwise, we would've been killed.
Everybody would've been killed.
Rei: So you killed?
Shinji: I didn't want to kill him.
But, there's no other choice!
So you killed.
Shinji: Help!
So you killed.
Shinji: Help!
So you killed.
Shinji: Help!
So you killed.
Shinji: Somebody help me!
So you killed.
Shinji: Please! Is anyone there?! Somebody help me!
--
Shinji: Yes. It's Kaoru-kun who should have survived.
He was much better than I am.
He should have survived.
Misato: No.
A survivor must have the will to survive.
He wished to die.
He abandoned the will to live, And depended on false hope.
You weren't wrong.
--
Shinji: Is that really true?
Anxiety
Shinji: Was that what I wanted?
Obsession
Shinji: I don't know.
What should I do?
What Should I DO?!
What do you fear?
Shinji: What?
What do you fear?
Shinji: Me.
What do you fear?
Shinji: To be disliked.
What do you fear?
Shinji: By whom?
What do you fear?
Shinji: Who?
What do you fear?
Shinji: My father!
He deserted me!
I was disliked.
What shall I do if I'm not liked?
What shall I do?
--
Shinji: Where am I?

Nothing visible.
Nothing intelligible.

Ayanami!
Touji!
Kensuke!
Ritsuko-san!
Kaji-san!
Father!
Mother!
Tell me,
What I should do?!
--
Shinji: Evangelion Unit One.
Shinji: I have to pilot this, after all,
killing the one who I loved,
obeying the words from my father and the others.
You say I have to fight in this?
Mom! say something! answer me!
--
Why do you pilot Eva?
Shinji: 'Cause People ask me to pilot it.
So you pilot it?
Shinji: Isn't that OK? It's for the sake of humanity! Isn't it OK?
You pilot Eva for the sake of others?
Shinji: Yes!
It's a good thing.
It's a very good thing.
Everyone praises me, then.
Asuka: That's a lie.
Shinji: What?
Asuka: Are you an idiot?
After all, it's for your own sake.
Shinji: Eh?
Asuka: And you make excuses for yourself, as usual.
Shinji: Do I?
Asuka: To think that you are doing your best for the sake of
others, is itself an easy way to live.
Shinji: Is that so?
Asuka: In other words, you're lonely, Shinji.
Shinji: Is that so?
Asuka: It's nothing but a dependent or symbiotic relationship.
Shinji: That might be.
Asuka: All you want is for people to depend on you.
Shinji: That might be.
Asuka: All you do is to wait for someone to bring you happiness.
False happiness.
Rei: That's exactly what YOU do.
Asuka: ah.
--
Soryuu Asuka Langley.
In her case,
Asuka: I'm in Eva without wanting to be.
I'm forced to be here.
This junk won't move!
Oh, no, it's me who's junk.
I'm useless.
No one needs me.
No one needs a pilot who cannot pilot Eva.
Rei: You are trying to find yourself within others.
Asuka: Shut up!
Separation Anxiety.
--
Rei: You fear being alone.
Separation Anxiety.
Rei: You're afraid because you'd be erased along with others.
Separation Anxiety.
Asuka: So you pilot.
Separation Anxiety.
Asuka: Shut up!
Action of attachment.
Asuka: Shut up! Shut up!
I don't wanna be told that by a doll like you!
--
The third character
Ayanami Rei, in her case,
Rei: Who am I?
Rei: Ayanami Rei.
Rei: Who are you?
Ayanami Rei
Rei: You are also Ayanami Rei?
Rei: Yes. The thing called Ayanami Rei.
Rei: All these are the things called Ayanami Rei.
Rei: Why are all of these me?
Rei: Because others call us Ayanami Rei.
Rei: Why do you have a false mind and a false body?
Rei: Not false, for I am I.
Rei: No. you are a human whose false soul was made by a
man named Ikari Gendou.
You are a false object which is pretending to be a human.
Look, you have a dark, invisible, and unintelligible mind
within you, where the true you exists.
Rei: I am I.
I've become me through the instrumentality of the links
between me and others.
Rei: I've been formed by interaction with others.
Rei: The interaction with people and the flow of time change
the shape of my mind.
Those are bonds?
Rei: Yes. Those have formed me so far, the thing called Ayanami Rei.
And, those will form me from now on.
Those are bonds?
Rei: But, there's someone else who is the true you.
Rei: You don't know her.
Rei: Because you don't want to see that, you are trying to run away.
Because of fear.
Rei: Because she might not have a human shape.
Because the present me might disappear.
Fear
Rei: One is afraid that the self will disappear.
Rei: Fear?
That doesn't make sense.
Rei: The Self's world will disappear.
Aren't you afraid?
Rei: The Self will disappear.
Aren't you afraid?
Rei: No, I'm glad.
I am the thing that wishes to die.
All I need is despair.
I want to be nothingness.
Rei: No, you can't.
You can't be nothingness.
That person won't let you be nothingness.
Rei: Still not allowed to return.
Rei: I've existed because he's needed me.
Rei: But, in the end.
I'll be useless.
I'll be deserted by him.
Rei: I've hoped for this day, although I'm now afraid.
Gendou: Let's go.
You've existed for the sake of today, this day, Rei.
Rei: Yes.
And,
The complementation
by the Instrumentality of Man
begins.

EPISODE:25
Do you love me?
--B PART---
Shinji Again.
Shinji: What feeling is this?
That I feel like I have experienced before.
My body seems like it's disappearing.
Agreeable.
I feel like I'm spreading, and becoming large,
to here, there and everywhere.
That was the very beginning
of the complementation of the people
by the instrumentality of man.
the thing people lost.
the lost minds.
complimenting the vacuum in the mind.
The complementation
by the instrumentality of minds and soul begins.
All things return to nothingness.
The complementation
by the instrumentality of man
has just begun.
Gendou: No,
It's not that everything returns to nothingness.
It's nothing but returning everything to the beginning.
Nothing but returning things to the mother which
has long since been lost.
All the minds become one mind, obtaining peace forever.
Nothing but that.
--
Misato: Is that the Instrumentality of Man Project?
Ritsuko: Right.
We always have a vacuum, something lost in our minds.
That creates the starvation within minds.
That creates anxiety and fear within minds.
Ritsuko: Everyone fears the darkness within their minds,
which they try to escape, try to erase.
That's how people live.
But, nobody can ever escape from it.
Misato: So you unify people's minds and
make them compliment each other?
On your own accord?
You are poking your nose into other's business.
That's nothing but cheap friendship.
Ritsuko: Yet, you are the one who has wanted that.
Misato: Really?
--
CASE 1
Misato: Where am I?
(PART 1)
In the case of Katsuragi Misato
Shinji: This is the me within your mind.
Misato: At the same time, it's my mind within you, isn't it?
Shinji: In order for me to find me, I have to feel many kinds of people.
I have to gaze inside of me.
I have to gaze into the Misato-san within me.
What do you want?
You wanna be a good child.
Misato: Must I be a good child?
Why?
Misato: Since I don't have a daddy
Since I have to help mom, I have to be a good child?
But, I don't wanna be like you, mom.
When daddy's away, mom is always crying.
Don't cry!
Don't depend!
So, must I be a good child?
So, don't I want to be disliked by daddy.
Misato: But I hate my father.
So, I hate good children.
I hate them!
I'm tired of
keeping myself pure,
keeping myself pretending to be pure.
I'm tired.
I want myself to get dirty.
I wished to see myself dirty.
Ritsuko: So, did you let him hold you?
So, did you let that guy hold you?
Misato: NO!
Because I loved him, I let him do it.
Misato: You truly loved him?
Misato: Of course!
He accepted what I truly was.
Really?
Misato: He was gentle.
Misato: NO!
Don't show this to Shinji-kun!
Ryouji: You don't have anything to be ashamed of now.
Misato: I am ashamed of it.
Misato: Why are you ashamed?
You can show this to the guy you love,
Moreover, you want to show it.
Misato: NO! Stop!
Misato: You should be happy to show this to Shinji.
Misato: NO!
NO! NO WAY!
Misato: I wonder if,
It's your father who you wanna show this to.
Misato: NO!
Misato: You tried to find peace in Kaji-kun's face.
Misato: NO!
Misato: You tried to find a peace in Kaji-kun's kindness.
Misato: NO!
Misato: You tried to find your father in Kaji-kun's arms.
Misato: NO!
Misato: YES.
I found my father within Kaji-kun back then.
So fled from him.
I was afraid.
He was just like my father.
But, it was because I was happy,
It was joy.
It was truly a wonderful joy!
So I hated.
So I left.
Ryouji: No reason to begin a love, but a reason to end a love.
Misato: You are kind enough,
You are kind enough to, I hope, make me dirty.
Ryouji: Don't hurt yourself only because you hate yourself now.
That's only to cheat yourself by temporarily punishing yourself.
Don't do that.
Misato: And you're saying, "you must take care of yourself?"
Misato: Guys always do that.
And Guys work, and Guys go to their own world,
leaving me behind.
Misato: Just like my father.
Misato: Always trying to escape from the hardships of reality.
Hardships of reality?
It's me?
It's me.
Yes. It's me.
It's inevitable.
Shinji: Stop it, Misato-san.
Misato: I'm desperate about myself.
I hate myself!
Misato: Impure.
Dirty!
Ritsuko: Sloppy.
Misato: Mean! Dirty!
Is that the intercourse of adults? I hate it!
Makoto: Congratulations for you promotion. Major Katsuragi.
Misato: The me appreciated is the me who is
playing to be appreciated.
It's not the true me.
Misato: The true me is always crying.
Misato: Yes. I am happy!
Am I happy?
Misato: I am happy.
Am I happy?
Misato: I am happy....?
Am I happy?
Misato: NO!
This isn't happiness!
What's happiness?
Misato: This is not the true me!
I am only trying to think that.
Shinji: Otherwise, we cannot live?
Shinji: We are unstable unless we are together.
Rei: Unstable.
Ritsuko: Unless someone is in the same bed.
Asuka: Are you afraid to sleep alone?
Maya: Are you lonely when you sleep alone?
Ryouji: You cannot stand the loss of minds.
Makoto: Then, Anyone will do.
Misato: NO!
Misato: YES, you wish to find some simple joy.
You're trying to heal your mind with temporary escapes.
You're using MEN.
Misato: NO NO NO WAY!
At last, what does she want?
--
CASE 2
Asuka: Where am I?
Shinji: It's my mind within Asuka.
Asuka: Then, it's my mind within Shinji.
In the case of Soryuu Asuka Langley.
Part 1
Shinji: What do you want?
Asuka: I can live alone.
I don't need daddy or mommy.
I'll live alone.
I won't cry anymore.
Asuka: (crying)
Asuka: Yet, I'm crying.
Why am I crying?
Step mother: It's difficult for me to deal with that child.
Asuka's father: You're worried? It's not like you, a doctor.
Step mother: A Doctor is a human,
as I said before.
Father: Well, still it's not like you against a kid.
Step mother: She is quite adult in some ways, with a total rejection,
with a tension, that I'm often afraid of.
Don't you think so?
Father: Well,
you are Asuka's mother, after all.
Step mother: I became your wife before that.
Father: Didn't you become them at the same time?
Step mother: Yes, from a social standpoint.
However, I can stop being her mother at anytime, though
you cannot stop being her father.
Father: That might be true.
Asuka: NO! STOP!
Don't stop being my mother!
I'm going to be a good child, whom you'd love.
So, don't stop being my mother.
So, look at me!
Stop MOM, don't kill me!
Kyouko: Your daddy now hates mommy.
Your daddy deserted me.
Or, I knew, he's never loved me from the very beginning.
He has never needed me, I guess.
So, die together with mommy.
Daddy does not need us.
Asuka: Am I in the way?
Am I useless?
Kyouko: Please, let's die together.
Asuka: NO!
I'm not your doll.
I can think by myself, I can live by myself.
Asuka: At that time, Mom was hung from the ceiling.
She looked very happy.
Asuka: But I hated her face then.
I don't wanna die.
I don't wanna let myself disappear.
I don't like boys.
I don't like daddy and mommy.
I don't like anybody!
Nobody protects me.
Nobody is with me.
What does she want?
Asuka: So I'll live alone.
But I don't want that.
It's painful.
I don't wanna be alone.
I don't wanna be alone.
I don't wanna be alone!
Shinji: Don't leave me.
Misato: Don't desert me.
Asuka: Don't kill me.
Shinji: What's this?
Misato: This is the Instrumentality of Man project that your
father has been working on.
Shinji: This is?
Misato: It's part of them, I think.
Asuka: The truth is still unknown to us.
Ritsuko: The things you perceive are the truth.
Rei: Things within you.
Fuyutsuki: And the things recorded in your memory will be your truth.
Ritsuko: There is a truth that changes through the time.
Shinji: This is the truth.
The result of everything, is this?
Asuka: Out of many truths, this is one.
Misato: That's the result you wanted.
Shinji: I wanted?
Rei: Yes.
Destruction, the world where nobody was saved.
Shinji: NO. It's that nobody saved me.
Ritsuko: Nobody can save you.
Ryouji: This is what you wanted.
Asuka: Destruction, Death, the return to nothingness,
All of these did you wish for.
Misato: This is reality.
Shinji: What's reality?
Rei: Your world.
Makoto: With time, with space, with other people, a world of
your own.
Shigeru: The world where how to accept things and how to
perceive things is absolutely up to you.
Maya: It's your world, only given to you now,
That is reality.
Misato: Your world, which nobody else can deal with.
Shinji: It's the world where everything is already created,
isn't it?
Ritsuko: No, it's the world that you are creating.
Fuyutsuki: The world that you are trying to create.
That is reality.
Misato: The will to live.
Asuka: The mind that wishes to die, which you yourself want.
Shinji: This darkness, this incomplete world...
Are you saying, I wished for all of these?
Asuka: Yes.
Ryouji: The closed world where nobody but you are confortable.
That is the very world you wished for.
Makoto: To protect your weak mind.
Shigeru: To protect your joy.
Maya: This is the result.
Misato: In a closed space with nobody but you in it,
Nobody can live.
Asuka: But you wanted this world, a closed world for yourself.
Ritsuko: Excluding what you hate, you wanted a world of solitude.
A mind all your own.
Rei: This is your world delivered, with a small haven in your
mind.
Asuka: This is one of the conclusions.
Misato: The end of the world that you have lived in.
And the way to the complementation,
will be continued.
---BPART:END---

Our hopes will be the very death?

Translated Speech Script

Introduction
I have nothing to say. Eva#26 the final Episode was a collage of
grafiti, and a collection of the words of cult or sect leaders.
"The instrumentality of man project" was nothing but brainwashing.
I have a good suggestion for those who read this script. Replace the
name "Shinji" with "GAINAX", and replace "Eva" or "piloting Eva" with
"The making of Evangelion", the resulting script will completely make
sense.
Now that it is obvious that the making of Evangelion itself has been
the excuse to make Evangelion, after all.
You might know that when A.D. Vision announced the international
release of Eva, they said something like "Eva is being remade for the
international release. The resulting Eva will be of OVA quality."
I really anticipate the remake. At least the last two or three episodes should
be remade. Nobody wishes to buy LDs that contains exactly the same
scenes as the TV version.
# But I will buy.
In this sense, the video recorded TV show will be a very rare
collectors item.

Evangelion Final Episode
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was 2016 A.D.
The thing that people lost,
in other words, the complementation of the mind has begun.
However, there is not enough time to describe the entire process.
Therefore, we will examine the complementation of the mind of
a single boy named Ikari Shinji.
Case 3: In the case of Ikari Shinji.
Fear
Asuka: That I will disappear.
Shinji: Yet, I can disappear because I think I'm useless.
Rei: Why?
Asuka: Because I am useless.
Shinji: After all, I am a useless child.
Nobody cares about me.
Misato: Thinking nobody cares about you is the same
as running away.
You fear failure.
You fear being disliked.
You fear seeing the weakness within you.
Shinji: You too!
Misato: Right. We are the same.
Ritsuko: Our minds lack something.
Asuka: So we fear that.
Rei: So we worry about that
Misato: So we are trying to be one.
Asuka: We are trying to compliment
by the instrumentality of each other.
Rei: That's the Instrumentality Project.
Fuyutsuki: One cannot live without being surrounded by others.
Gendou: One cannot live alone.
Ritsuko: One is always unique.
Ryouji: So, it's hard.
Asuka: So, it's sad.
Misato: So, one wishes to feel others' minds and bodies.
Rei: So we wish to be one.
Fuyutsuki: A human is made of weak and fragile materials.
Ritsuko: The mind and body are also made of weak and fragile materials.
Gendou: So it is necessary to compliment
by the instrumentality of each other.
Why?
Gendou: There's no other way to live.
Is that true?
Rei: Why do you live?
I've no idea.
Asuka: I might live to know why.
Rei: For whom do you live?
Asuka: For myself, of course.
Shinji: Probably for myself.
Is that true?
Rei: Do you enjoy your life?
Shinji: I wonder.
Rei: Do you enjoy your life?
Asuka: Of course yes.
Rei: Do you enjoy your life?
Misato: I don't want to do anything not enjoyable.
Ryouji: You hate being sad?
Shinji: I don't like it.
Ryouji: You hate hardships?
Misato: I don't like them.
Ryouji: So you run away.
Misato: Yes. Do you blame me, for running away from something
I hate.
Shinji: I can't run away.
Rei: Why don't you run away?
Shinji: If I ran away, it would be more painful.
Rei: You ran away from something painful.
Shinji: It was painful.
Asuka: If you know the pain, then everything's OK.
Misato: You can run away if it's painful.
Rei: You can run away from something you truly hate.
Shinji: But, I won't. I don't want to run away.
No. I shall not run away.
Misato: It's because you already know that running away results
in more pain.
Asuka: You know how painful it is to run away.
Rei: So you don't want to run away.
Shinji: I said, if I ran away, nobody would care about me.
Don't desert me! Please! Don't desert me!
Ritsuko: Obeying others' words, that's his way to live.
Shinji: Right! Otherwise, I would be deserted.
Asuka: You fear being hurt.
Misato: You are trying to believe that.
Kensuke: Not only you but also others are hurt.
Touji: Everybody feels hardships.
Hikari: You think that, because it's easier for you.
Shinji: Shut up! That's nothing to do with me.
People don't care about me.
Misato: And you always desert your worth.
Rei: I have nothing.
Asuka: And you try to think yourself valueless.
Misato: Thinking that, by doing nothing, you would not be hurt.
Asuka: People try to sustain themselves by being praised.
Shinji: NOBODY ACCEPTS ME.
Misato: You are trying to think that.
Shinji: So, I have to pilot Eva.
Misato: You've been trying to think yourself worthless since the
very beginning.
Shinji: I have to do that.
Kensuke: No, that's not so.
Touji: You are trying to think that, anyway.
Shinji: I am worthless. I have nothing to be proud of.
Asuka: So you pilot Eva.
Shinji: Piloting Eva lets me be myself.
Asuka: Piloting Eva lets me be myself.
Shinji: Before piloting Eva, I had nothing.
The fact that I pilot Eva lets me stay here.
Asuka: I have nothing else.
Rei: I have nothing else.
Shinji: I have nothing. NOTHING.
The value to live?
Shinji: No don't I have it. I hate myself.
THUS,
Asuka: I hate you! I hate you!
Touji: Ah hate you.
Kensuke: I hate everything about you.
Hikari: Sorry, but I hate you.
Ritsuko: I hate you.
Makoto: I hate you.
Shigeru: I hate you.
Maya: I hate everything about you.
Ryouji: I hate everything about you.
Misato: I hate you!
Shinji: Now, everybody hates me.
Probably, people hate me.
Rei: You are just trying to think that.
Shinji: NO. Because I hate myself.
Rei: So, you are trying to think that others hate you.
Asuka: I hate, I hate I hate you!
Shinji: But, I am praised.
I am praised when I pilot Eva.
I was praised.
So, you were happy.
Shinji: I was praised by people!
But, not happy.
Rei: Which is your true heart?
Shinji: I don't know, or, both of them are my true hearts.
Misato: So you pilot Eva.
Shinji: I have nothing but Eva.
Rei: Otherwise you cannot keep yourself?
Misato: It's true that Eva Unit One is part of your mind.
Ritsuko: If you depend on Eva too much,
Eva itself will be you.
Ryouji: Eva will be all of yourself.
Misato: The true yourself will be nowhere.
Shinji: It's OK. I've had nothing from the beginning.
I've been learning cello, but it didn't go anywhere.
Asuka: I didn't try to do it from your side.
Shinji: But, now that I can pilot Eva.
Asuka: And, when you lost Eva, you couldn't do anything, like me.
Why do you pilot Eva?
Shinji: Because it's all of me.

Final Episode: The Beast that Shouted "I" at the Heart of the World
--------------------------------------------------------------------
NEON GENESIS EVANGELION
FINALE Take care of yourself
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Shinji: Rain, gloomy mood, just like my mood. I don't like that.
Rei: The sinking sun, fading life, my wish. I don't like that.
Asuka: Morning, the beginning of today, the beginning of
a bad day. I don't like that.
Shinji: Blue sky. Something warm, something unfamiliar,
something horrible. something useless. I don't like that.
Asuka: I hate everybody!
Misato: What do you want?
Do you hate anxiety?
Asuka: What do you need?
Do you hate peace?
Rei: What do you want?
Don't hate me!
Asuka: Don't hate me!
Shinji: What I fear is,
Rejection
Rei: What I need is,
Contact and Approval
Shinji: May I stay with you?
Rei: May I stay here?
Asuka: Do you love me?
Your Mother,
Do you love her?
Asuka: You wanna go to where your mom is?
Asuka: No, I don't.
Shinji: Don't you wanna go your to your dad's?
Shinji: No, I don't.
Rei: Why not?
Because I fear.
Shinji: I fear to be hated.
Asuka: Because I would disappear.
So what?
Misato: What do you want?
Erasing anxiety.
Rei: What do you need?
Erasing sadness.
Yui: You are not happy, are you?
Shinji: Before that, I need. I need my worth.
In order to be appreciated, in order not to be
deserted,
I need my own WORTH.
Yui: That is what you must admit to yourself.
You must admit your own value.
So you pilot Eva.
Shinji: I don't have any value.
Asuka: I don't have value worth living for.
Rei: Then, what are you?
Shinji: Then what am I?
Where am I?
Shinji: What the hell am I?
So, you need the barrier of the mind.
Shinji: What? It's me. The shape that I show to others,
the symbol representing me.
This, and this, and this, all these are representations
of me. Nothing but the things that make others recognize me.
What am I? Is this me? The true me? The false me?
Rei: You are you. Yet, you have your own region and border.
Shinji: Let's see. My clothes, my shoes, my room.
Those are part of myself.
Rei: The things linked together by your will.
Shinji: The thing that I think is myself is me.
I am nothing but myself.
Yet, I don't understand. Where am I?
What am I? What am I?
Nobody understands me.
And so, you wished for a
barrier around your heart
Asuka: You idiot! Of course not!
Nobody ever understands you.
Misato: The one who takes care of you, and the one
who understands you, is nobody but yourself.
Rei: So, take care of yourself.
Shinji: But I still don't have myself, so I don't understand myself.
There's no way to take care of myself.
You are unstable.
Rei: You are still unstable.
Misato: The present you,
Asuka: The people around the present you,
Rei: The environment that surrounds the present you.
Misato: None of them last forever.
Asuka: Your time is always flowing.
Rei: You are made of the changing world.
You are the thing that may change according to
your own mind.
Shinji: What? The world of nothing. The world with nobody.
Shinji: The world of freedom.
Shinji: Freedom?
Shinji: The world of freedom which will never be restrained by
anybody.
Shinji: Is this Freedom?
Shinji: Yes. The world of freedom.
Rei: As a result, there's nothing.
Shinji: Unless I think.
Misato: Yes, unless you think.
Shinji: What the hell! I don't know what I should do.
Rei: You are uneasy.
Asuka: You don't have your own image.
Shinji: Too vague.
Misato: Everything is vague.
That's freedom.
Ryouji: The world where you can do anything you like.
Misato: Yet, you are uneasy.
Fuyutsuki: Don't you know what you should do?
Shinji: What should I do?
Gendou: I give you a constraint.
Asuka: Now you have a top and a bottom.
Rei: Now you have lost one degree of freedom.
Misato: Now you have to stand on the ground.
Ryouji: But you obtain a comfort.
Makoto: Your mind becomes slightly easier.
Shigeru: And you walk.
Maya: That is your will.
Shinji: Is this my will?
Ritsuko: The world with a floor is the world surrounding you.
Touji: Yet, you can move freely.
Kensuke: If you wish, you can change the position of the world.
Hikari: The position of the world does not stay the same.
Ryouji: It changes through the flow of time.
Fuyutsuki: You can also change.
Gendou: The things that form you are your own mind and
the world surrounding you.
Ritsuko: Since this is your own world.
Misato: The real form that you conceive.
That is reality.
Shinji: This is the world of nothing, space with nothing,
the world of nothing.
The world with nothing but me.
I am understanding myself less.
I feel as if I'm going to disappear.
My existence is fading away.
Why?
Misato: Because there's nobody but you.
Shinji: Nobody but me?
Misato: Because you have no existence outside of yourself,
You can't figure out your own shape.
Shinji: My shape?
My image.
Misato: Yes. You are getting to know your own shape through
seeing others' shapes.
Asuka: Seeing others' walls, you imagine yourself.
Rei: You cannot see yourself unless there are others.
Shinji: Because there are others, I can exist.
If alone, I am always alone anywhere.
The world is entirely from me..
Misato: By recognizing the difference between yourself and
others, you form an image of yourself.
Rei: The very first other person is your mother.
Asuka: Your mother is a different person from you.
Shinji: Yes. I am I. Yet, it's true that others form the shape
of my mind.
Misato: That's right, Ikari Shinji-kun.
Asuka: You're too slow to understand.
Asuka: Stupid Shinji!
Wake up now, Stupid Shinji!
Shinji: Oh, it's you, Asuka?
Asuka: All you say is, "It's you Asuka?"
Every morning, I come to wake you up so you won't be late
for school. Are those the words of gratitude to say to a
childhood friend?
Shinji: Ah, I mean thanks, so, let me sleep a little more...
Asuka: What a lazy guy! Wake up! Wake up right now!
Oh! NO! You, mean stupid horny guy! Unbelievable!
Shinji: It's morning, I can't help it.
Yui: Shinji is a lazy kid. He should be more grateful
for Asuka, who comes to wake him up.
Gendou: hmm.
Yui: Stop reading newspaper, dear!
You have to get ready.
Gendou: hmmm.
Yui: You're older, but you're still a kid like Shinji.
Gendou: Are you ready?
Yui: Yes. It's always me who is scolded by Dr. Fuyutsuki
when you're late for a meeting.
Gendou: Since you attract others.
Yui: Stop saying stupid things. Change your clothes!
Gendou: hmmm, alright, Yui.
Asuka: Hurry, Do it now!
Shinji: OK, I know, You're so noisy.
Asuka: What was that?!
Asuka: I'm off, Ma'am.
Shinji: I'm off.
Yui: Bye! Good luck.
Dear, how long are you going to read?
Gendou: hmmm, alright, Yui.
Shinji: I hear that today we have a newcomer.
Asuka: Well, yes. This city will be the new capitol city
after the capitol transfer the next year.
The population is increasing.
Shinji: Right. What kinda girl? I hope she's cute!
Asuka: Hmph!
Rei: Phew.. Late for school! It's bad to be late for school
the very first day!
Shinji: (breathing)
Shinji: Oh Ouch! Ouch!
Rei: Ouch! Oh, sorry, I'm really in a hurry.
Shinji: Ouch,
Rei: I'm very sorry.
Shinji: Oh,
Asuka: gee.
---------------------
Touji: Really! Then you see it? I mean the girl's panties.
Shinji: I didn't mean to look, but, only a little...
Touji: WOW, What a lucky boy you are so early in the morning.
Ouch! What are you doing ?
Hikari: Suzuhara, don't say such stupid things!
Here, replace the water in the vase. You're on duty this week.
Touji: What an annoying girl...
Hikari: What did you say?
Shinji: Touji is gonna be whipped.
Asuka: You will too.
Shinji: How come you're saying I'll be whipped?
Asuka: Well, I said nothing but the truth.
Shinji: Why?
Asuka: You are what you appear to be.
Shinji: Asuka, You're always talking ..
Kensuke: It's so peaceful.
Touji: Misato-sensei is coming!
Fool Trio: WOWOWOW.
Touji: Misato-sensei is great.
Hikari,Asuka: That trio of fools, They are truly stupid.
Hikari: Stand up. Bow. Sit down.
Misato: Rejoice, boys! Today, I introduce the transferee
everybody is talking about.
Rei: I am Ayanami Rei. Nice to meet you!
Shinji: WOW!
Rei: You! You are that stupid guy that peeped at my
panties this morning.
Asuka: Stop it! Don't say such a thing.
You're the one who showed Shinji!
Rei: You shit, why are you covering for that guy?
Does that mean you two are a couple?
Asuka: Childhood friend, you bitch!
Hikari: Stop! It's time for school. Be quiet!
Misato: Well, You're having fun. I am curious too.
Continue.
Students: Laugh
Shinji: I've got it. This is also a world.
The possibility within me.
The me at the moment is not always the me as I am.
There are many of myself.
Yes. There must be a me who is not an Eva pilot.
Misato: Considering that, the real world itself is not always bad.
Shinji: The real world might not always be bad.
But, I hate myself.
Makoto: It's your mind that conceives that the reality is bad
and hateful.
Shigeru: The mind which confuses Reality with the Truth.
Maya: The angle of view, the position. If these are slightly
different, what is inside your mind will change a lot.
Ryouji: There are as many truths as there are people.
Kensuke: But there's only one truth that you have,
which is formed from your narrow view of the world,
It is revised information to protect yourself,
the twisted truth.
Touji: Oh, yes. the view of the world that one can
have is quite small.
Hikari: Yes, you measure things only by your own small
measure.
Asuka: One sees things with the truth, given by others.
Misato: Happy on a sunny day.
Rei: Gloomy on a rainy day.
Asuka: If you're taught that, you always think so.
Ritsuko: But, you can enjoy rainy days.
Fuyutsuki: Through different ways of conceiving, the truth
will change into very different things; it's a weak thing.
Ryouji: The truth within a person is such a cheap thing that
people wish to know deeper truths.
Gendou: It's only that you're not used to being liked by people.
Misato: So, you don't have to look to others' faces.
Shinji: But, don't you hate me?
Asuka: You idiot! It's only you who is always trying to believe
that.
Shinji: Yet, I hate myself.
Rei: Those who hate themselves cannot love or trust others.
Shinji: I am wicked, cowardly, weak and ..
Misato: If you know yourself, you can be kind to others.
Shinji: I hate myself.
But, I might be able to love myself.
I might be allowed to stay here.
Yes. I am nothing but I.
I am I. I wish to be I.
I want to stay here!
I can stay here!
People: Congratulations!
Shinji: Thank you!
Thank you, my father.
Good bye, my mother.
And to the all the children,
Congratulations!
