[edit] Plot
Evangelion Unit 00 is finally repaired after it went berserk during the experiment it was in before the first episode. Shinji tries to get to know the pilot of Unit 00, Rei Ayanami, better but finds that she is incredibly insular, has no friends, and all records of her past have been erased. A new and powerful Angel arrives; Ramiel, a floating monolithic metal diamond, which nearly kills Shinji. Part 1 of 2.
[edit] Notes
- Eva Unit 00, briefly glimpsed before now, is given a full introduction in this episode.
- When Eva Unit 00 goes berserk, and Rei is ejected, it attacks a window that Gendo Ikari is standing behind.
- Gendo Ikari's hands are actually badly burned underneath his gloves, which he injured when rescuing Rei from her ejected entry plug.
