Episode 07; A Human Work: Ritsuko explains the real reason behind the second impact. The UN claimed that a meteorite destroyed all of Antarctica and melted all the ice. But the real reason is that an Angel was discovered in that area and a mysterious event caused an explosion. Ritsuko and Misato attended an experiment developed by a Nippon Heavy Industry Association. The product is a giant JA unit powered by a nuclear reactor. During the experiment, the reactor went out of control, facing a meltdown. Misato suggested that she enter the unit and erase the internal computer system, thus resetting everything. Shinji arrived to assist. She manages to stop the reactor at the last minute, despite that the system privileges had been changed. Everyone thought it was a miracle. Misato somehow believed that this miracle was pre-arranged. Episode 08; Asuka Strikes!: We meet Souryu Asuka Langley, pilot of the EVA-02 unit for the first time in this episode when Misato and Shinji randaveaux with her on a fleet of battleships. She turns out to be a cheerful and lighthearted character. Yet her pride is equally outstanding. Misato also reunites with an old flame, Ryouji Kaji, who is responsible for delivering the EVA unit. Coincidentally, a sea-based Angel attacks the fleet. Misato believed that the Angel was probably interested in the EVA unit. However, we discover at the end what Kaji was really delivering was an embryo called "ADAM" for Ikari Gendou, and that is what the Angel was actually after. |
