Episode 25 Movie Edition: AIR
Invasion By Substitution (Track5)
Japanese: Migawari no shinnyuu (身代わりの侵入)
Misato and Shinji headed for emergency hatch 20 when three guards sprayed
the two with bullets. Misato protecting Shinji was shot fatally in the
chest, she then closed the hatch to prevent them from chasing them. The
soldiers decided to blow the whole place and evacuated. Misato checked
if the elevator has emergency power and was relieved to see that the battery
power is still working. Misato asked Shinji to take care of himself and
make sure to destroy Eva-01 when he boards it. She reminds Shinji that
she will not be there anymore to send instructions and that he will be
alone by himself. Shinji cried and refused to ride citing that he longer
wants to ride Eva-01 but Misato again mentioned his responsibility and
the importance of destroying the Eva-series, she said "Dont look back
in the past and regret that in the one time you could have made the difference,
you didn't". Misato thinking that there was no more time, handed Shinji
her cross and kissed him in the lips that suprised Shinji. A kiss that
last for a long time. For Shinji, Misato was his mother, older sister,
girlfriend, adult figure and commander-in-chief all in one. After the long
kiss she said "That was an adult kiss, Lets continue this when we
get home" (Jap: Otona no kisu yo, Kaette kitara tsuzuki o shimashou
). But Shinji knows there is no next time. She pushed Shinji into the
elevator and the door closed. Misato lost all her strength and she collapsed,
as the blood pool around her gets bigger and bigger and with a weak voice
she calls for Pen-pen and Kaji her last words was "Kaji, I think I
did my job" (Japanese: Kaji kun, atashi kore de yokkatta wa yo
ne) A ghostly Rei appeared and then the place ignited and exploded.
Shinji was safe in the elevator, heading toward the Eva-01 as he felt the
explosion from beneath. He knew that Misato was down there and has perished
in the explosion. He checked Misato's blood stained cross and noticed that
his mouth was full of Misato's blood and cried.
With only nine seconds remaining Asuka finally thought she got the last
of the Eva-05 robot by penetrating the Eva-05's core and crushing it but
what Asuka did notice is that none of the Eva-05 exploded when their core
was crushed and this striked her as odd. It was this time that one of the
Eva-05's lance came hurling toward her from nowhere. She stopped it with
her AT Field but the lance changed into a replica of the Longinus Spear
and penetrated the AT Field stabbing Eva-02's left eye. Asuka's own left
eye flowed with blood and she ran out of internal power. Maya reported
to everybody that Asuka has lost power and that the energy levels of the
nine Eva-05's are still strong. Maya cried "Asuka, no, Asuka".
The Eva-02 was pinned to the ground through the left eye by the lance of
the Eva-05 that became a replica of the Longinus Spear.
Gendou was in front of Lillith with Rei, now fully grown with legs after
the original Longinus Spear was withdrawn from it in the Death part of
the first movie. Ritsuko was waiting near the edge just in the border of
the Cross stand when Ritsuko turned and faced Gendou and pointed a gun
at him and said that it is all over. She pushed her remote control and
waited for the floor from beneath to explode but nothing happened. She
set the auto-destruct of Nerv but CASPER, one of the three MAGI computers,
did not allow it and when the realization that her own mother (CASPER)
betrayed her, Gendou produced a gun and said how much he really loved her
but Ritsuko said "Liar" (Jap: Usotsuki ) and was shot
by Gendou. Ritsuko was thrown by the force of the shot of Gendou's revolver
and landed on the LCL below the Lillith altar, Shocked at the thought that
Gendou had the courage to kill her. Casper was the woman side of Ritsuko's
mother programmed with in MAGI.
And the saga continues....
