Episode 19; Introjection: Shinji is extremely angry with his father for letting the dummy plug take over, nearly killing Touji. Once again, he resigns as pilot of EVA-01. At the same time, a powerful Angel penetrated NERV's underground base. Gendou wanted Rei to pilot EVA-01, but the unit refused to synch with her. EVA-01 rejected the dummy plug as well. Left with little options, both EVA-02 and EVA-00 were launched against the attacking Angel. Both units were severely damaged and immobilized. Shinji could not bare to watch the destruction as a bystander only and decided to pilot EVA-01 again. Shinji intercepted the Angel just in time, but unfortunately, he ran out of power before the battle was over. At the most critical moment, EVA-01 "awakens" and quickly defeated the Angel. Ritsuko explained that EVA is capable of controlling itself, but restrainers (what appeared to be the armor of EVA) were implemented in order to exercise control over the unit. EVA finally broke free of the restraint. It was also able established to synchronize with Shinji at 400%. EVA is no longer under the control of its creators. Episode 20; Weaving A Story 2: Oral Stage: At 400% synchro, Shinji's material body have disappeared and his soul has become part of EVA-01. Everything that is part of his material body is still inside the plug. Once his pysche is stabilized, his body can be reconstructed. The team outside can only do so much to help him. Ultimately, he must want to come back. He had always wanted to escape from the cruel reality. He finally overcame his conflict and re-materialized. |
