At this point I’m surprised there isn’t already a bullet in my brain. She picks me up by my handcuffs and drops me again in disgust, my body slamming painfully onto the road as she monologues. I know it’s over when I hear heels clicking on the asphalt behind me. I lose sight of him as I trip and fall flat on my face, unable to get back up. In the distance, I see Twelve have a truly spectacular wreck on the bike-and defy death by staggering out from underneath the steaming heap of scrap metal. I escape the rubble and waddle-run down the highway in handcuffs like a moron, like that’s going to help me escape Five’s unwarranted wrath. The little bastard’s lucky I survived that. He and Five are shooting at each other, but Twelve tosses a fucking grenade into the car I’m being transported in. Five shows up, weaving through traffic, tires squealing, and hanging out the window as she shoots. It turns out I was right on both accounts. At the same time, Five has the exact same capabilities and I run the risk at becoming her target as well. There’s no way the news of my capture would have escaped him, and there’s no way he wouldn’t be able to find me. Now I know that I’ve gotten lucky because there’s no way that Twelve would let this opportunity slide. They arrange a prisoner transport and a decoy to take me to the news station. I request a press conference with Shibazaki, and this catches everyone’s attention. I always do, of course, but I usually have Twelve’s help. At this point, I have no idea how I’m going to get myself out of trouble. And now he’s probably off dicking around with Lisa somewhere in Tokyo while I’m turning myself into the police to save us. From the very first video he was always there. As I filmed, I tried convincing myself I wasn’t disappointed that Twelve wasn’t there with me. I assembled the bomb quickly and scheduled its automatic launch before filming the last Sphinx video. Unsurprisingly, the cops were on my trail, but losing them wasn’t an issue. I knew Twelve was walking into an obvious trap that Five would use to leverage the bomb out of our hands, so I immediately left for the school to retrieve it. We were either going to be jailed or killed. At this point, we were going to detonate the atom bomb that day. I’ve always known the one thing he wants in this life is connection with others. I say no, but I haven’t yet managed to follow through. It’s impossible for me to say no to him, especially about her. I don’t really know if I can blame him for wanting to save her, though. It’s not by luck that the franchise has had a lasting legacy even outside Japan for nearly 25 years.The moment our plans went all to hell was the second Twelve decided to save Lisa from the ferris wheel. You don’t have to prioritize NGE, but you should pay close attention once you do decide to watch it (assuming you haven’t already). In fact, many shows today feature characters inspired by the quirks and personalities of Shinji, Rei, Asuka, and Kaworu. It’s amazing that NGE created lasting anime archetypes. #ZANKYOU NO TERROR EPISODE 6 DISCUSSION MOVIE#Together with the iconic movie sequel The End of Evangelion, the 26-episode series will take you through paranoia, existential crises, teen anxieties, familial burdens, and angels that don’t look like typical angels. It’s like Bladerunner - a flawed sci-fi masterpiece that warrants repeat viewings because it always has something new to offer. If you didn’t like NGE with your first watch, try viewing it again after a few years. Some call it pretentious, others say it’s a masterpiece filled with religious iconography, or a deconstruction of the mecha genre and the greatest contribution of Gainax.Įven if I never uncover the truth of why Evangelion is the way it is, the franchise will forever be popular.
