Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
[edit] Plot
Shinji wakes up in the hospital after defeating Sachiel, with no memory of the fight against the Angel the night before. His father wants nothing to do with him, so NERV's head of operations, the young and attractive Misato Katsuragi, becomes his legal guardian. Settling in to life in Misato’s apartment, he eventually recalls the furious battle. Part 2 of 2.
[edit] Notes
- First appearance of the Misato theme, a bouncing light background music, when we see her apartment.
- First appearance of Pen Pen, Misato's pet penguin.
- Eva Unit 01 is shown without its armored helmet on; we can see that the Evangelions are in fact not robots, but more bio-mechanical creations with cybernetic parts grafted into them.
