Episode 25 Movie Edition: AIR (Rebirth)
Intervention Of Others (Track1)
Japanese: Tanin no Kanshou@(l̊) 

The first scene of the movie The End of Evangelion was Shinji still on the 
surface of Geofront, now a devastated Tokyo-3 after the second clone of Rei self 
destructed her Eva-00 robot and took Tokyo-3 with her. The sun now shining 
bright in the sky offers no joy to a Shinji still blaming himself for the murder 
of his best friend Kaworu, and unfortunately the 17th and last Angel. Clear sea 
water now reflects the broken buildings that litter the place, suddenly a stone 
fell and sent ripples of water around, breaking the serenity of the reflection. 
Back at Nerv headquarters, Gendou and Fuyutsuki confronts a Seele Organization 
upset by the two's treachery for daring to change the Human Complement Program. 
Gendou said "That nothing can be gained by death" (Japanese: shi wa nani mo 
umanai) but Seele answered "death is what we give you". (Japanese: kimi-tachi ni 
shi o ataeru) and the twelve monoliths that represent Seele that surrounded the 
two disappeared leaving the two behind in darkness. The next scene was Misato in 
her car thinking about the last words of Kaji and realized that it was as Kaji 
predicted and decided to hack the MAGI computer from inside the mainframe to get 
to the cause of the Second Impact and what Seele's next move is.

The next scene was Shinji beside the bed of a comatose Asuka, who is suffering 
from pyschological shock due to the psychological poisoning from the 15th angel. 
Shinji who went to Asuka in the hope she may help him with his guilt was 
disappointed to find her totally unconscious. He complains of why she keeps 
calling him "stupid" and asking her what he should do now that he killed the 
only friend he opened his heart with and where to go from there. "Help me, help 
me Asuka..."(Japanese: tazukete,tazukete yo, Asuka!). Asuka, completely 
motionless was being ruffled by Shinji, when the blanket of Asuka fell to the 
floor and Shinji saw Asuka naked. He then locked the door of her room and the 
next scene showed his hand wet with his semen, he whispered to himself, "Im 
fucked up".(Japanese: Saitei da, orette..) He then left the room.




The next scene shows Shinji with his usual depressed style. Earphones in the 
ear, listening to music. To all the fans who watched episode 25 and 26, its 
probably where his mind is right now. Frankly I am a Shinji fan and with the 
last scene (the first picture above). I was sooooo disappointed to know that 
Shinji has gotten sooooo low. In the movie he used the word "ore" the Japanese 
slang word for "I". In all the 26 episode that was shown on Television, none of 
them showed him used that word. He instead used a much milder one, namely "boku" 
the usual Japanese word for "I" for boys. This shows that his personality is 
changing and many of his fans were disappointed to know that the naive kid has 
grown-up.




The following scene we see Misato hacking the computer of Nerv from within the 
supercomputer and using that to hack other Magi systems of the world to search 
the database of Seele. What Misato discovered was very disturbing, she stumbled 
into the truth of the human complement program. In Misato's words the human 
complement program is "Man has already reached a dead end on its present state 
of evolution, the next step is to artificially initiate the evolution of man 
into a perfect single being. " (Japanese: sude ni ikitsumatta jinrui o, kanzen 
na tantai no ikimonu e to jinkou shinka saseru) And the only way to do that is 
to induct third impact: "They want to commence the third impact! And not using 
the Angels but the EVA Series!" Misato gravely informed Shinji later on in the 
movie (Japanese: Third Impact o okosu tsumori na no yo. Shitou de wa naku, EVA 
Series o tsukatte ne) and she continued "Just like us humans, we are like Adam, 
born from the source of all life, Lillith. We are the 18th Angel."(Japanese: 
Watashi tachi ningen mo ne, Adam to onaji Lillith o yobareru inochi no minamoto 
kara umareta 18 banme no shitou na no yo) Apparently man is the 18th angel in 
the branch of life whose roots is Lillith, Now the branch of life and the 
reality and dimensions that seperates us from the other branches are falling 
apart. In this scene we also learned that the second impact was caused by 
reducing Adam into an egg, to reduce the damage that will occur when the Angels 
come as predicted and written in the Dead Sea scrolls.




and then the sirens sounded and the computer shuts down....
