Episode 21; He Was Aware That He Was Still A Child: Probably one of the most revealing episodes after leaving behind so many mysteries from the previous episodes as we travel back to 1999. Fuyutsuki Kouzou was a professor at the time. A colleague introduced him to Ikari Yui because of her research project on life science. At the same time he also met who was Gendou and also found out that he is dating Ikari Yui. It was believed that Gendou was interested in the organization that Ikari Yui belonged to called SEELE. The two of them did get married and had a child called Shinji. After the Second Impact, the UN simply covered up the incident as a meteorite impact with no mention of SEELE or Gendou. Fuyutsuki believed that SEELE had tremendous influence on the media. When he confronted Gendou about this, Gendou revealed the existence of GEHIRUN (which later evolved into NERV), an organization behind the Human Complementation Project. Gendou also invited Fuyutsuki to join the team. Project EVA was also revealed. EVA was a human replication of ADAM, the giant creature behind the Second Impact. Later, we also find out that Ikari Yui dies of an accident during an experiment. What the experiment was is not revealed. Subsequently Rei appeared. She has tremendous resemblance to Ikari Yui. We still do not know where and how she came about. Episode 22; Don't Be: We find out that Asuka's mother broke down emotionally and committed suicide. From then, she had immersed herself in her own pride in order to forget the past. That is also why she does not like anyone's sympathy. The past is coming back to her and her synchronization ratio is falling. The 15th Angel appeared, and Asuka volunteered herself to attack. However, this Angel is capable of delivering an emotional attack from orbit, staying out of range of most weapons. Asuka came to the verge of an emotional break down when the Angel tried to reach inside her emotions, something that Asuka was desperately trying to hide and protect. Gendou then decided that the only way to destroy the target is by using the Spear of Longinus, embedded in ADAM. Rei proceeded with the plan and succeeded. |
