| At least put some butter on your toast Shinji... |

Especially when the competition is Gendo Ikari and Nerv, who obviously have no problem at all with using underhanded tactics. It really strikes me how different Misato is from everyone else, I love how she says that she would rather try to stop Jet Alone instead of regretting it later. Some words of wisdom Shinji would do well to listen to. I think how different Misato acts and feels is the reason she isn't in on the conspiracy theory. I'm sure they realize she has a strong sense of doing her absolute best and is passionate to the bitter end; Besides that, she may be overbearing, but she always means well and if she knew what they were planning she'd most likely stop it. |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Begin and end the episode in an almost identical manner. I almost had deja vu lol. Well if JA is operational and cheaper to construct, that means less funding for NERV. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Sweet mother of all the "Deus ex Machina" moments...THAT WAS CLOSE! I mean, that was so close I really thought they were going to kill Misato |

vigorousjammer said: Is it just me, or did the ending song sound different in this episode? Yes, the ending theme wasn't sung by CLAIRE this time. OOOooooOOOoooo we learned that NERV isn't as humanitarian and pure as they might like us to believe. Definitely some upper level plans that could be slightly nefarious. It was nice to see Misato as the leading role in this episode. All the characters in this show seem to be fairly well developed even if they aren't "main characters". So far I really like NGE because its got the slice of life character development aspects as well as psychological action and mecha stylings. |
| I Love Shinji and Misato~ They truly are family~ Touching Episode. |
 |
| Nice little exchange at the end, Shinji smiling at the thought of being her family was heartwarming c: |

| Misato is awesome |
| Great episode, I really enjoyed it. I wonder who changed the password... |
 |
| Wait, hold up, Shinji's dad purposely sabotaged that new weapon thing so it'd malfunction? How in the world did he do that? And WHY? O_o At any rate, yeah, this episode wasn't worst than most the last episodes IMO. There was a lot of tension in the scene with Misato trying to stop that thing in that I actually thought for a minute she was a goner. Yesssss can't wait to see Asuka next ep! |

Yesssss can't wait to see Asuka next ep! isnt it obvious as to why, the JA was appearing as a competitor to the EVA, if they still want the support and money of the UN, what do they do? kill off every competitor and leave themselves as the only option to save humanity of course. Dirty trick |
| How do I signature? |
| It was a good episode. We learnt of NERV's conspiracy side and Ritsuko knows more than we think she does. |

 |
| Misato Strikes Back! Ep 7. Plot-This ep showed good background info/worldbuilding with a new weapon to combat Angels as well as Nerv's darkness. The tension was good and seeing how others view Nerv draws back to ep 1 with those generals. Character-Misato shines in her role as a soldier. It also gives hints to her intelligence as she can tell that the whole thing was a stage. Ritsuko shares the spotlight with her own actions and that there is a dark side to her as well. Bonus points go to Shinji who can now talk crap back to Misato. Good on ya kid. 3/5. Not that high on my priorities but still good for the narrative. |
 I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai. |
| Seems Misato surprised even Gendo, barely surviving with a few seconds left. Second Impact was covered up (obviously) |
 |
| Misato appears to suffer from alcoholism drinking everyday and first thing in the morning, not cool. Episode was ok. |
| Such junk... |
| It's a conspiracy! Hmm... Can't wait to find out why they don't want to use Jet Alone yet... :) And yeah, the red girl, can't wait to see her! :) |
 |
| I laughed when Misato actually came out all dressed up and classy first thing in the morning while Shinji AND the penguin looked all shocked! :P Plus, that was super sweet at the end how Shinji's friends revealed to him how he's Misato's family now. ^^ ★4/5 |
| It's nice to see Shinji acting so casual, smiling, and acting sarcastic in a positive joking manner for once. Ah, so NERV sabotaged the JA in order to secure their position as the "saviour" of humanity. There would be no reason to bring down a potential ally in protecting the world if they hadn't possessed any ulterior motives. The Eva project appears to be a means to achieve an objective that is highly unethical. NERV wants all the funding they can obtain and will eliminate any threat to their goals or existence it appears. I'm assuming that Human Instrumentality Project is a part of them. So Misato wasn't in on their plan. She was badass in deactivating the JA and relinquishes most if not all doubt regarding her qualifications and abilities for her position. She doesn't hesitate to risk her life in order to do what she believes is right. Skillful and tenacious with a heart of gold, an excellent pawn as long as the chessmaster manages to mask their ill-intentions. "Acts of men are better than acts of god." -Misato Katsuragi |

| Damn, I was really scared Misato was gonna die this episode, glad she didn't >_<. But wow, so it was the father who was behind that robot malfunctioning, and the blonde chick was in on it too. It seems *saving the world* isn't NERV's only objective :/. |
 |
| Thought Misato was going to die there for a second. Gendo sabotages the JA,no shocker here. Asuka finally going to appear! |
| (rewatching again) The only one I'm giving 4/5 (rest get 5). You just watched the worst episode in the entire series... and it wasn't really that bad either. The one takeaway from this is, to quote the fan-dub re-death, "It's NERV or nothin". NERV will not allow anyone to interfere with their plans... or get a piece of their budget. |
  |
| Im wondering why the incorrect password was ''hope'' and if it will be relevant in the later episodes. |
 |
| Misato going full BA this episode, Shinji sure isen't expierenced with people, they had to point him aout that Misato is just feeling comfortable around him. 4/5 |
| I thought this episode was top-notch, how could this possibly be called filler? Damn is this series intriguing as fuck. Just the previous episode it felt like Shinji's dad has some redeeming qualities, but in this one he goes and sabotages what looked like a decent idea. I'm not sure what to think of him. |
| Scumbag Gendo strikes again. Oh boy, I'm not looking forward at all to the character that's going to appear in the next episode -_- |
 |
| Wait, the Second Impact was when the first Angel appeared and destroyed Antartica? What was the First Impact? I'm glad Shinji is starting to question the origin of the Eva units. In the end of the first episode Unit 01 "looked" at Shinji. Like it was alive. He also comments how it smells of blood too. Hmm. That whole incident was a set up by Nerv but why? Maybe we'll learn later on. Nervous doesn't seem to like the idea or remote controlled giant robots with multiple people and prefer the piloted ones like Unit 01. Man, Misato is awesome. I always hear arguments about whether Rei or Asuka is best girl but so far I think Misato to is. Speaking of Asuka, looks like she appears next episode based on the preview. |
| Whew Misato is safe |
| Nowhere near as good an episode as the ones before. This was the weakest one so far. The plot was predictable to say the least. |
| Misato kicked ass and nice that Shinji can appreciate her manner more now. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This episode makes me love Misato even more. She is starting to become one of my favorite characters in the series. |
 |
| I've gotta admit I wasn't the most interested in this episode, considering how much I enjoyed Shinji and Rei really starting to get to know each other last episode. It was interesting enough, though...their technology that allegedly wouldn't go rogue as they shittalked EVA wound up going rogue. How ironic. Gendo sabotaging Misato is definitely shifty. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| This is a good episode, it shows the relationship between Shinji and Misato and how much they care for each there. One morning they are having a cheerful breakfast, then they work together to bring a nuclear-powered robot from blowing up! In addition to that, the truth about the second impact and NERV's true purpose are finally revealed. (What was the first impact then?) A new character will come next episode... |
  |
| @ShadowZ_AnimeZ The First Impact was the one giving birth to the Moon. |

I liked Dr. Akagi's point on untested nuclear energy use. Her points coincide with mine. She is both smart and intelligent and hot. Seems the angels came by second impact and that there is government corruption involvement in the authorizing the NERV program. Also, the stopping the robot was cool. We get to see Misato in action after her being in the command seat most of the time. Also, I liked the filler moments. But what really sold me on this episode was the ending. When Shinji complains about Misato being embarrassing, his friends say that is because she shows a side of her that she doesn't to someone else: she's family. I had tears in my eyes. That's truly deep. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Didn't even realize that it was Gendo behind the sabotage, until i read from someone here, you really have to be 110% concentrated when watching NGE, or it's easy to miss the details. The end justifies the means, huh. Does this mean that if Misato didn't interfere, Nerv would have let the robot blow up and have a giant nuclear explosion near the city? Wow... I mean, they could have stopped it they same way they did now, of course, but how would they explain it? |

| Nice episode about about Misato. A lot of interesting things were revealed. The Second Impact, NERV and the UN and that mean organization. 4/5 |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 I believe in freedom of expression. |
| "Come to think of it, just what is the Eva?" You're asking the questions I want answered, Shinji. |
 |
| If this was teh weakest episode, I think I am alright watching the rest. Also interesting sight into politics and economics behing Evangelion. They are making up to 6 or 8 units or what was highest number of project while having no more then two pilots? Interesting. Also some forshadowings. |
 |
| Nice episode. Misato was great. |
