Picture Summary of EVANGELION: REBIRTH:.... 14 hrs after Shinji killed the 17th and last angel....


The first scene of the movie after the 60 minute backtrack of the 24 episodes was Shinji beside the bed of a comatose Asuka, who is suffering from pyschological shock due to the psychological poisoning from the 15th angel. Shinji who went to Asuka for guidance and help after he killed his bestfriend Kaworu who turned out to be the 17th angel was disappointed to find her totally unconscious. He complains of why she keeps calling him "stupid" and asking her what he should do now that he killed the only friend he opened his heart with and where to go from there. "Help me, help me Asuka..."(Japanese: tazukete,tazukete yo, Asuka!). Asuka, completely motionless was being ruffled by Shinji, when the blanket of Asuka fell to the floor and Shinji saw Asuka naked. Out of the blue, he locked the door of her room and the next scene showed his hand wet with his semen, he whispered to himself, "Im fucked up".(Japanese: Saitei da, orette..) He then left the room.

The next scene shows Shinji with his usual depressed style. Earphones in the ear, listening to music. To all the fans who watched episode 25 and 26, its probably where his mind is right now. Frankly I am a Shinji fan and with the last scene (the first picture above). I was sooooo disappointed to know that Shinji has gotten sooooo low. In the movie he used the word "ore" the Japanese slang word for "I". In all the 26 episode that was shown on Television, none of them showed him used that word. He instead used a much milder one, namely "boku" the usual Japanese word for "I" for boys. This shows that his personality is changing and many of his fans were disappointed to know that the naive kid has grown-up.

The following scene we see Misato hacking the computer of Nerv and other Magi systems of the world to search for the real cause of the SECOND IMPACT. What Misato discovered was very disturbing, she stumbled into the truth of the human complement program. In Misato's words the human complement program is "Man has already reached a dead end on its present state of evolution, the next step is to artificially initiate the evolution of man into a perfect single being. " (Japanese: sude ni ikitsumatta jinrui o, kanzen na tantai no ikimonu e to jinkou shinka saseru) And the only way to do that is to induct THIRD IMPACT : "They want to commence the THIRD IMPACT! And not using the Angels but the EVA Series!" Misato gravely informed Makoto Hyuga and Shigeru Aoba (Japanese: Third Impact o okosu tsumori na no yo. Shitou de wa naku, EVA Series o tsukatte ne) and she continued "Just like us humans, we are like ADAM, born from the source of all life, LILLITH. We are the 18th Angel."(Japanese: Watashi tachi ningen mo ne, ADAM to onaji LILLITH to yobareru inochi no minamoto kara umareta 18 banme no shitou na no yo) Apparently man is the 18th angel in the branch of life whose roots is Lillith, Now the branch of life and the reality and dimensions that seperates us from the other branches are falling apart. In this scene we also learned that the SECOND IMPACT was caused by reducing ADAM into an egg, to reduce the damage that will occur when the Angels come as predicted and written in the DEAD SEA SCROLLS

Now that all the angels has been eliminated, the secret international organization called SEELE tried to penetrate and plant a virus on the MAGI SYSTEM by using other MAGI systems of the world (including MAGI of Tokyo 2) to get hold of NERV and relieve Gendou Ikari, the Supreme Commander of NERV of all his duties but Dr. Ritsuko Akagi, who was released by Gendou from court martial, succesfully deflected it and installed the program 666 protector, so SEELE used more violent means.

With Gendou betraying SEELE, there is no more use for NERV, so what SEELE decided was to form a special A-801 Committee to approve mass production of Eva-05 to Eva-13 and deceive the Japanese Government into sending a special task force to destroy the NERV facility and kill everyone in sight. by saying that NERV has plans to provoke the THIRD IMPACT that will destroy mankind. Yes fans, bloodshed starts here, there was no mercy, and everyone who walked whether man, woman or child was slaughtered. No prisoners. The main aim of course is to find the children who pilots the EVA robots and eliminate them and acquire Adam, Lillith, EVA-01 and EVA-02 from NERV. SEELE wanted EVA-01 to provoke the THIRD IMPACT that will waste the present existance of man and lead him to the next stage of evolution. As Keel (Head of SEELE) said to other SEELE members "With the spear gone, we cant initiate the human complement program using Lillith, The only option left is to use the child of Lillith and retrograde EVA-01" (Japanese: ronginusu no yari o ushinatta ima, ririsu ni yoru hokan wa dekinu.. Yuitsu, ririsu no bunshin taru, EVA-01 ni yoru gyakkou o negau zo) . Without knowing the true intention of SEELE the Japanese government and other nations approved of the attack.

NERV was caught unprepared, they didnt realize that the war was not yet over. As all the fence perimeter of NERV falls under the hands of a special elite force of the Japanese Army, they soon realized that the last and most vicious enemy werent the angels but their fellow humans. Makoto Hyuga said "and we are all fellow human beings!" (Japanese: onaji ningen na no ni) All the post has fallen and NERV was slowly finding herself fighting a helpless battle, with Shinji nowhere to be found, Asuka still in a state of shock and the EVA-00 gone (it self-destructed on episode 23 along with the 2nd clone of Rei, In this episode Rei shed her first tears and said "Am I crying ? I want to be one with Shinji??" (Japanese: naite-ite-iru no wa watashi ? Ikari kun to issho ni naritai ?) and before she self-destructed to save Shinji she saw the warm smiling face of Gendou). Note: The first Rei was killed by the mother of Dr. Ritsuko Akagi but notice that in the movie, when she was strangling Rei-1, it wasnt Rei that was reflected in her eyes but that of Kaworu

The special task force has penetrated the central command post and the issuing gun fire from the second balcony and the ground troops began. Shigeru Aoba went to get the guns and tries to hand one to Maya. "Use this!...Use This!..If you dont use it YOU WILL DIE!". But Maya refused and went under her consule unable to stand the exchanging gun fight between her comrades beside her and the troops below. Meanwhile Nerv rocked as an N2 mine was dropped from above and almost evaporized the sea water that buried Geofront.

Where was Shinji all this time, well he was hiding under a stairway somewhere inside NERV, Misato was searching for him but after a sensor sweep of the whole NERV Facility, she finally pinpointed his location. ( Blopper:Notice that in the computer screen it reads : F-46b LIVE X07...ID Comparison: Ikari Shinji: 1st C. EVA-01 Pilot, Time: 07:23:23:83....it should have read 3rd C..for 3rd Children)

Misato found Shinji just in time. Three troops arrived earlier and identified him. One of the troops told him "Sorry, I have to kill,you, nothing personal kid, just my jo-" ....BANG...BANG...BANG... and all three was shot my Misato, she then said to the soldier "Nothing personal too okey?" and made sure and fired a fourth shot to the head of a soldier who was still alive. Shinji was speechless all this time and Misato told Shinji "Lets get out of here!". Shinji just responded in a weak voice "I want to die..." and you see Misato dragging him to a safer place. She arrived at the parking area near the terminal dogma enroute to the Eva-01 hanger, and Misato feeling so frustrated with Shinji shouted "Listen to me YOU! You're still alive arent you! Try to fight and live than die after all of this is over!" (Japanese: Anta, mada ikiteru n deshou! dattara shikkari ikite, sore kara shininasai) In this scene you cant help but admire the military instinct of Misato.

The next scene was the 3rd clone of Rei crushing the glass of Gendou of whom the 2nd Rei treasured so much.( She sometimes gives me the creeps and makes you long for the Rei we love so much. She is definitely a different Rei.) After which you see Rei with Gendou and Gendou said "The TIME has come...lets go" (Japanese: yakusoku no toki da....sa ikou) and then Prof. Fuyutsuki, 2nd in command of Nerv, said "Give my regards to Yui" (Japanese: Yui-kun ni yoroshiku na). Yui is the mother of Shinji. It was Yui that introduced Gendou to SEELE and it was Yui's research on bio-metaphysics that made the EVA series possible. Before dying inthe year 2004 when she boarded an EVA and disappeared inside, she said " Seele holds the Dead Sea Scrolls . If we follow their scenerio, after several years, the 3rd Impact that will destroy mankind will happen" (Japanese: Seele no motsu shikai bunsho. sono shinario no mama da to, juusuunen ato ni kanarazu koko de 3rd Impact ga okoru) SEELE believes that its necessary for the 3rd Impact to happen in order for man to enter a different level of existance but Yui said "Nothing can be gained from death" (Japanese: shi wa nani mo umanai)

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"

SEELE put up a tough fight with the rockets and conventional weapons, they first disconnected her source of power by destroying the electrical connection and with less than 5 minutes of internal power she then wipe and destroy all planes, troops and gunships around. But conventional weapons were no match for an AT Field of an Eva so SEELE decided to send the completed EVA SERIES.

It takes an Eva to kill an Eva and with this new series of Eva (whose pilot is the dummy plug of Kaworu) you'll notice that it has wings and based on the official declaration from Gainax, the new Eva Series looks soooo suprisingly like the aliens from ALIEN(S) the movie. You can check them out here. The new Eva Series are S2 Evas, meaning they dont need an electric power source to function (much like an Angel), it has wings and can fly, its main weapon is a double egde spear/lance, which you see them carrying in the picture. They are Eva-05 to Eva-13 and they all presume to look alike, they were also produced by the other G-7 nations plus China and Russia. Anyway with less than 4 minutes of internal power left all 9 bird-like Eva circles Eva-02 like vultures circling its prey.

and as the 9 completed Eva series circles the helpless Eva-02 the theme music for the movie played in the background: (song performed by the singer , Takahashi Yuuko, who sang "Zangoku na Tenshi no Teeze") The new music is called Tamashii no Rufuran, compared with the TV Theme music, its a bit slow and sad in tune.
