Episode 17; Fourth Children: An explosion occurred in Nevada and destroyed everything within 89km except for the EVA-04 unit. The unit subsequently disappeared. The US delegated the responsibility of EVA-03 to Japan and Ritsuko chose a fourth pilot. A dummy plug was developed to pilot an EVA unmanned. Although Ritsuko was able to replicate most of the pilot's personal attributes within the plug there were still many problems. Gendou did not care as long as it is capable of piloting EVA. Kensuke informed Shinji of the accident and the existence of a fourth pilot. No one knows who the fourth pilot was and Kensuke wanted to be that fourth pilot. Episode 18; Ambivalence: EVA-03 arrived in Japan and the synchro test for the fourth pilot was immediately conducted. The 13th Angel was subsequently found to have overtaken the unit during the synchro test. The Angel destroyed the test site. The other three units were sent to intercept EVA-03. After both EVA-00 and EVA-02 have been immobilized, Shinji could not attack the Angel since he did not want to injure the pilot. Gendou ordered the dummy plug to take over the control of EVA-01. EVA-003 was completely destroyed. Shinji later discovered that the fourth pilot was Touji, and that he survived. |
