Episode 25 Movie Edition: AIR (Rebirth)
Emergency Retroggression Shelter (Track3)
Japanese: Taikou e kinkyuu hinan (ލsւً̋})
Before the troops took hold of NERV and before she went out to search for
Shinji, Misato ordered that Asuka be placed inside Eva-02 because that
is the safest place for her to be and the robot be launched regardless
whether she can pilot it or not. Eva-02 was then under the lake at Geofront,
when the troops start bombing it with mines. Still unconscious and inside
the entry plug, she battles a fight inside her heart "Who would like
a person like me!.. who would like to look at me!...", the fight about
her past, her mother's suicide, her father's neglect, her wish of growing
up without the help of others. Slowly she climbs out of her coma as she
hears the voice of her mother whispering to her "Dont give up now,
please dont give up now" and inside her heart she said "So this
was where you were mom ....Death Death Death...I hate Death!" (Japanese:
Mama, koko ni ita no ne....shinu no wa iya shinu no wa iya shinu no wa
iya...shinu no wa iyaaaaaa!) and that instant the four eyes of Eva-02 ignited
and a red cross exploded on Geofront. Asuka was in full control again!

This was probably the moving part of the picture. The rise of Asuka! When
she was informed about what was going on. She showed a strong will and
desire to live and fight for her existance and with Eva-02 to protect her,
her spirits rosed again and she said "Come on you bastards, let us
see what you can put up against my Eva"

But then the resurrected Asuka was like a child who suddenly discovered
her long lost toy and very much unlike the 100% confident Asuka of the
past.
