| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Baaaah. Too bad this shows needs years of back-story. lol. Interesting though I guess... I saw the "Director's Cut" version too, not sure what difference that makes though? It's like, 5 min longer :P |
 |
| Saw the director's cut too. It was a nice backstory that was needed. Lots of things were explained regarding the past. Looks like Asuka gets to go crazy next episode. |
     |
| ^same thing. finally, we get to see asuka again though, also... poor kaji D= |
     |
| So much background story... Makes my head ache. I wonder if I should stop my marathon now. That whole underground was excatavated? Meaning that somebody else has built it? When?!?!? |
| Director's cut ftw. Gawd, that was a lot to take in O_O |
 |
| much needed info, really good episode. |
| "Every man shall reap what he has sown, from the highest lord to the lowest gutter rat. And some will lose more than the tips off their fingers, I promise you. They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that" |
| Very loaded episode, quite a bit of information. Explained a whole lot though, and down goes Kaji. |
| INFORMATION OVERDOSE!!!! Gah, I'm not going to be able to do homwork for days after taking that in. |
 |
| So much to read and understand. :{ |
| Sure Rei was a bitch when she was young :D We learned so much in this episode but why this late ? We're near the end and a lot of episode was randomly angel fighting, it could have been used for flash back. I found there were too much Angel fighting episode ... |
| If I just had any idea what the hell was going on. |
| if we die we'll meet again in valhalla... |
| So, did Kaji die then? Kinda ambiguous, but the sound of a gun going off almost seals it. |
| That was really something. DaBigD said: So much background story... Makes my head ache. I wonder if I should stop my marathon now. This. But I keep watching, next episode seems promising. Now Asuka goes crazy? berserk? Or both? |
| So I guess if Rei is a clone and she was killed... There's multiple clones. No wonder things get so awkward between her and Shinji lol!!! People told me the dub was bad. But so far its actually ok... Well the scene at the start with the giant 2001 space odyssey monuments had terrible voice acting... To the point were it sounded like those scenes in Futurama when the take the piss out of old sci-fi stuff. |
| Great this that there was an explanation, a lot of things became a bit more clear~ Poor Kaji~ |
 |
| good episode with late explanations.. clone-rei hmm i've never thought about it but it makes sense now thx:D feel so sorry for Misato:( |
 |
| Explanations? Facts? Heck I didn't even get what was going on. They shoved all those information in my head in one single episode. I couldn't keep up. Sorry I'm a retard. Things that I understood, I think. 1. Rei is a clone made by Ikari Gendo. 2. Organizations within organizations. Lol seriously though I didn't get who's working for who anymore. They mentioned a lot of organizations that I couldn't keep up. 3. Ikari Gendo is a cheating bastard. 4. The creator of Magi, mother of the yellow-haired girl, probably got killed and put her brain inside Magi. I'm not sure though. 5. The organizations knew about the second impact before it happened. They were making a prototype of ADAM Evangelion, and went wrong thus the second impact. Seriously, WTF MAN I AM CONFUSED. |
| A much needed info episode, and most of the back stories really make you say "ah, so that's what happened." Rei really is a clone after all, and Gendo Ikari is a sociopathic asshole. Kaji...that was a really powerful ending scene. This show is really getting depressing now...hope the action picks up soon and there's a happy ending T.T |
 |
| Quite a lot of information to absorb. I got pretty lost half way through it, too many organizations to keep track of and what people were doing. This episode should have been expanded over a couple episodes to fully clarify what the hell has been going on this entire time. I hope Kaji isn't dead...but it's more than likely the case. Can't wait for the next episode. |
| My mind is full of unprocessed fuck. |
 |
| Too much to take in @_@ |
 |
| Seemed simple enough for me? O.o The predecassor organization of NERV accidentally caused second impact. They could the Geo front, and decided to use it for their own personal gain. Shinji's father is a bastard true and true. Rei is a clone. Akagi killed the clone. (Necks don't bend like that.) and then committed suicide by jumping from the top of the command center. Probably out of guilt. Kaji was killed. And Shinji spent the whole episode listening to music with his Penguin buddy. |
| Wow, nice to see how they all started out. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| So the old hag killed Rei. This with sure is connected with the fact that Rei said "I'm replaceable" few eps ago. Just as I thought, Kaji is going to die. This episode was 100% dramatic no matter what angle are you looking at it... |
  |
Meritas said: This episode was 100% dramatic no matter what angle are you looking at it... Not to me. Guess I'm one hell of a bastard heh. |
| That was a lot of information packed in that episode. But, it was a well needed back bone story episode that explained quite a few things, and left me with just a few remaining question about Rei. Hopefully, the rest gets cleared up soon. Looking forward to the next! |
| Freaking love NGE because of episodes like this...the whole series we've felt in the dark about everything. I mean viewers know something is up but can't put a finger on it. Now things begin to come together, genius episode, genius series... |
| Wow, complete infodump this episode. |
 |
| I understood most of what has been said earlier, but I still can't tell if it's Mitsuko who killed Kaji. I guess I'm going to find out... Moonfrost said: 4. The creator of Magi, mother of the yellow-haired girl, probably got killed and put her brain inside Magi. I'm not sure though. She killed herself after strangling Rei to death and learning she was despised by Ikari. |
 |
| Saw the directors cut, was quite a good episode lots of back story, but really sad back story actually, I do have a hunch that Rei actually is a clone or some sort of the mother of Shinji, Shinji father as well told us that if he had a girl she would be called Rei. The whole other story of creators and past of them is quite interesting and strengthens the whole anime IMO, but still quite sad especially the ending, I do wonder who actually shot Kaji and well I do think he died this time... Sad but powerful episode! |
 |
| Guess I didn't understand a lot of it |
 |
| yeah a little confused. smoking while during doesnt help, but thats a thing to do while watching anime for me. "old hag" hahaha |
 |
| nobody noticed at 19:26 of the episode? Ikari talking about becoming a god and his shadow carrying a cross. scary! O.õ |
| O_O This episode so good for info. Thought from Episode 21 A lot info was covered. Let's see Vice-Commander's name was revealed Fuyutsuki and he was researching with Gendo or Rokubugo whatever his name was. They told about Yui was also interesting in researching and they formed SEELE and Gehir 2 organisations. SEELE was responsible for "Second Impact" and that Kier Larenzo man. It's not meteor which did it. So Gendo was a beginning strange and not likable man. But he went crazy when Yui died. And started making Human Intsrumentarily Plan. And looks like SEELE was also researching and that Longinus lance. Fuyutsuki was living in Kioto that time. Is Ikari's plan to make "Third Impact" happen I strongly believe it is. So SEELE use these boards communicating with NERV interesting. NERV was formed from Gehir. And SEELE remained. Finally saw Ritsuko's mother Akagi. And recap we learn from older episodes like how she invent Magi. But how did she died. What happened to Yui? And why Rei is like scary little girl who words are evil and Akagi got his part of it. Don't actually still understand Yui and Rei's connections. They must have connection. If she was clone when did Ikari made her And that underground was were ADAM is stored and they were building EVA's so did SEELE built ADAM and had this Kier named guy part of it too. So they made copies of ADAM data and put it in EVA's or something like that. I wonder who eliminated Kaji. Was it Fuyutsuki or someone else from SEELE. Best parts: Whole NERV's past |

It means that I had the same line of thought, I think I understood most of it but came here for clarification. |
| Man, a lot of things make sense now. What the hell happened to Kaji in the end? Is he gonna die? |
| so gendou wants to create a god? why? what's the purpose of all this? |
| u gay |
| I think I saw the normal version and not the directors cut online. Anywho ... it was really great, interesting to have some more back story to it. Awww, I hope Kaji didn't die :( I can't believe the old hag killed Rei! :( |
