Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 495: The awakening and liberation of Unit- (original)
After that battle, Shinji Ikari showed a clear resistance to NERV headquarters.

Also, the relationship with his father Ikari Gendo, which had been somewhat improved because of the last visit to pay respects to his mother's grave together, now took a sharp turn for the worse.

However, the audience expressed that they understood Shinji Ikari's behavior quite well this time.

"The commander is really... too inhuman. Although I understand that he wants to reduce unnecessary losses, he shouldn't force Ikari Shinji to this extent, right?"

"This is like my dad forcing me to beat up my friend in front of me, and in the end, because I didn't want to, he beat my friend severely while I was watching."

"I can't help it... Really, although I can understand some of it, there's really no need to be so extreme."

"Who is the villain anyway? Why is Gendou Ikari not behaving like a villain?"

"There is no distinction between classic heroes and villains, but if this continues, Ikari Gendō might actually become the real villain in the end."

“It’s a rare scene of loving father and filial son in Qingshan Laozei’s works.”

"Who says it's rare to see this? Denci's father and Denci are a loving and filial couple ()"

"Ikari Gendou is really a bit unbearable. As the protagonist's father, if the protagonist is the murderer of his mother, I can understand it. But now it is obviously not the case..."

"Is there a possibility that Ikari Gendou is just a jerk?"

"possible……"

……

In short, after this incident, Shinji Ikari was disappointed with Gendo Ikari, and after a conversation, he chose to leave NERV headquarters.

However, not long after, new apostles appeared and continued to attack the dungeon where NERV's headquarters was located.

The one who attacked this time... was the fourteenth angel - the Angel of Power.

Its arms are sharp and retractable ribbons of material, and the light it emits can penetrate 18 layers of armor with just one strike.

So when facing the Angel of Power, the Unit 2 piloted by Asuka directly tore off the left and right arms of Unit 2.

Asuka still refused to admit defeat, and even though she lost both her arms, she still... rushed towards the power angel fearlessly.

"Damn guy!!!"

"Asuka!"

Misato at NERV headquarters began to panic.

Then she made a prompt decision!
"Sever all neural connections! Quick!"

However, the next moment, before I knew whether the nerve connection had been severed, I saw...

The head of Unit 2 flew up immediately!

Unit 2... was beheaded!
And we don’t know whether the neural connection is broken. If it’s not broken…

Then Asuka will also feel the pain of decapitation!
Such tremendous pain may even cause shock and brain death in severe cases!
Then Shinji Ikari, who was originally in the shelter, saw it...

Unit 2, with its arms and head broken off, smashed into Shelter 6 where he was!

"Abandon the Sixth Shelter and transfer all refugees to the Third Shelter!"

The commander on the radio immediately gave instructions.

But luckily, Asuka is still alive.

Fortunately, the nerve connection was severed in time and she was not fatally injured.

But she was also very frustrated and felt helpless about her inability to defeat the apostle.

Then NERV headquarters wanted to use the puppet system that successfully controlled Unit-01 last time to continue controlling Unit-01 to fight.

however……

"Pulse lost! Puppet insertion plug rejected!"

"No! EVA Unit-01 cannot be started!"

It’s as if Unit-01 only recognizes Shinji Ikari. The last time the puppet system was able to work was because the pilot of Unit-01 was Shinji Ikari.

But this can't help but make people curious, why does Unit-01 only recognize Shinji Ikari as its pilot?
However, the attack of the Power Angel left Ikari Gendo helpless. He even went there personally to order another test of the puppet system.

Then Rei Ayanami piloted Unit 0 to resist the Angel of Power.

But she was still no match for the Power Angel and was still defeated miserably.

Shinji Ikari was watching the Power Angels destroying the city, and Ayanami Rei and Unit-00 fighting against the Power Angels.

At this time, he met Ryoji Kaji.

Finally, under the persuasion of Ryoji Kaji, he decided to return to NERV headquarters and drive Unit-01 to fight!

However, when he piloted Unit-01 to fight, he was still defeated!

Even the battery ran out again.

Unit-01 lost its ability to move again and continued to be attacked by the Angel of Power.

The exterior of the machine was gradually damaged, and even the insertion plug where Shinji Ikari was located was visibly deflated. It seemed that he was about to be blown up and his life was in danger.

However, what Shinji Ikari is still concerned about at this time is...

"Move! Move! Move!"

He kept manipulating Unit-01 and yelled anxiously, "Move! Move! Move! Move!"

"Move quickly!"

It even feels a bit ghostly.

However, Unit-01 was out of power, and no matter how Shinji Ikari operated it, there was no movement at all.

"If we don't move, we'll all die!"

However, at the critical moment, Shinji Ikari was not thinking about his own safety, but everyone's safety.

He must drive Unit-01 here to defeat Power Angel and protect everyone in this city!

This couldn't help but make the audience admire him.

At this time, Shinji Ikari did not care about the danger to his own life and planned to escape from Unit-01.

Instead, he still wants to drive Unit-01 into battle to protect everyone.

Such a character is so admirable and great.

"I've had enough of this!"

Shinji Ikari finally shouted, "So hurry up and move!!!"

However, at this moment, a heartbeat suddenly sounded.

Then a blue light like a soul appeared in the picture.

Then the heartbeat sound continued to be heard, and in the midst of this strange heartbeat sound.

"Ho-"

Unit-01 suddenly let out a roar like a wild beast.

Then its eyes lit up again and it grabbed the power angel's arm.

Just like a wild beast, it... went berserk again!

The out-of-control UD-01 once again displayed its terrifying combat power, and even regenerated its broken arm instantly.

Then it continued to rush towards the kicked power angel, exerting its terrifying strength and fighting style.

But this time, Unit-01's rampage is a little different...

"It's incredible..."

The NERV researcher next to Misato said in disbelief, "Unit-400's synchronization rate is over %!"

Can this synchronization exceed 100%, reaching four times the synchronization rate?
However, at this moment, Ritsuko looked at the runaway Unit-01 and said, "She...has finally woken up."

she?
Are you referring to Unit-01?

Unit-01 is a female?
Could it be that Unit-01 is Eve?

Just when everyone thought so, Unit-01 became even more terrifying this time. It opened its big mouth with big white teeth like a human and roared towards the sky.

Then it acted like a wild beast... not only did it tear the angel of power into pieces, it also... ate it!
"Could it be... that Unit-2 is devouring the S mechanism of the Angel?"

When Ritsuko saw this scene, she explained.

S2 Agency? What is that?
The special and memorable parts of the Apostles...

The audience immediately tried to recall, and the only thing they could think of was the red ball… Was it that red ball?
That is indeed a rather peculiar thing that all apostles possess.

Just when the audience was puzzled.

Then, Unit-01 ate the Angel of Power like a wild beast hunting its prey.

This scene really broadened the audience's horizons. At the same time, many younger audiences felt as if they had been traumatized by their childhood.

"As expected of you! Old thief Qingshan!"

"This is the part of the old thief's work that you must taste - full of blood, this is real blood!"

"What? This is called bloody? I suggest you watch Edgewalker, Flame Fist, Chainsaw Man, Parasyte, and Dao Wei Yi Xian to review the real bloody scenes."

"Brother Huozi, Agni: Is this bloody? Haha! Let's show you a special skill!"

"Agni: This is really confusing. What do you think, Huozi?"

"Brother Huozi: That's right, I have lost my fingers and hands, let alone my head."

"Good fellow, one hits him on the head, and the other cuts off his hand as a sacrifice. It's really hard to understand in the physical sense, right?"

"That's right! That's right!"

"It's so amazing, two regenerating monsters, they can regenerate anyway"

"David: I can only give you two points this time. Ask Agni and Dianci for more."

"I just love works like Qingshan Laozei that play with the flow of blood."

……

Then, after Unit-01 swallowed the Power Angel, the armor on its body exploded.

"Restraints!"

Ritsuko shouted as she looked at the exploded armor.

"Restrainer?"

A NERV staff member nearby said curiously.

"That's right, that's not EVA armor, it's EVA restraints."

Ritsuko said truthfully, "That's the restraint we used to suppress the EVA's true power."

"It has now used its own strength to free itself from that bondage."

"We can no longer stop EVA."

After being freed from the restraints of the device, Unit-01 roared towards the sky like a wild beast out of control.

The audience continued to complain:

"Oh my goodness, it's really a limiter! These things restrict the performance of Unit-01!"

"So... does that mean... Unit-01 is the second Angel, Eve? EVA and EVE are quite similar."

"What about Unit 0? Adam is underground, so shouldn't Eve be Unit 0?"

"I think they were probably all researched based on Eve. There aren't so many conspiracy theories. They just put on restraints for better control."

"Unit-01: Instead of dealing with all that crap, why don't you let me do it myself?"

"Then is there any relationship between Shinji and Unit-01? Otherwise, why was Shinji the only one who could pilot Unit-01 in the beginning, and now Shinji is the only pilot?"

“Ahhh…I’m really curious!”

"It's already episode 19, why can't I see anything?"

"Riddler, can you please hurry up? It's almost the end and we still can't see anything!"

"The old thief Qingshan's mental illness has reached a new level. I really can't guess what he is doing now."

"What do you think the scariest cyberpsychopath in the ACG world is?"

"Old Thief Qingshan: Hehe! I am a super...Zuowang Dao!"

……

After that, Ryoji Kaji, who persuaded Shinji Ikari to return to NERV headquarters to pilot Unit-01 into battle, looked at Unit-01 which had gone out of control.

"The awakening and liberation of Unit-01..."

He smiled and said, "Seele will not remain silent about this, Commander Ikari... is this also in your plan?"

Watching all this at the NERV headquarters were Gendo Ikari and Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki.

"It's begun..."

Dongyue said with narrowed eyes.

"Well... everything has just begun."

Ikari Gendo was not surprised at all. He looked at the Unit-01 on the screen with its mouth wide open and roaring bloodily, and said.

Sure enough, in the next episode.

The former big shots held a meeting together again.

"The S2 mechanism in EVA's body that cannot be born with..."

"I didn't expect that Unit-01 would use this method to obtain it."

"This is very different from our Seele plan..."

……

It turned out that they were Seele, and the audience suddenly realized that they had appeared early in the morning.

It was just that at that time it was not indicated that they were the special organization Seele.

At the same time, the symbol of the seven eyes of the mask of "Adam" at that time faintly appeared in the picture, which seemed to imply something.

They were beginning to find it hard to tolerate what was happening under Ikari Gendō's command, but...

They were unable to resign from their position as Ikari Gendō.

"Without that man, all plans cannot be carried out."

They said so.

And then they tolerated it.

I don't know why, but they feel that the plan cannot be carried out without Ikari Gendō.

And what are those plans?
What is the Human Instrumentality Project? What is the Adam Project?
What crucial and indispensable role did Gendō Ikari play in this?
In short, it all remains a mystery.

The meeting continued at Seele, and it was still full of mysteries.

The scene returns to the NERV headquarters where Misato and the others are.

NERV headquarters also suffered heavy losses this time in the attack by the Angel of Power and entered the process of relocation and reconstruction.

As for Unit-01...

But after that battle, while the restraints were torn into pieces, his body was covered with scars.

But NERV headquarters seemed to have controlled it, wrapped it up with a large number of huge bandages, and restrained it in the mecha hangar.

Only the eyes and mouth are exposed on the entire head, and the rest of the head is covered with bloody bandages, which looks a bit creepy.

However, it obtained the S2 mechanism of the Power Angel, which can give it endless energy and no longer rely on human electricity to start.

but……

The most critical thing is that the insertion plug cannot be ejected. At the same time, the most terrifying thing is that Shinji Ikari did not respond because he has been integrated into the body of Unit-01.

Integrating into...the body of Unit-01, this is really creepy.

Misato naturally couldn't accept this, and she tried everything she could to save Shinji Ikari.

However, Shinji Ikari, who was inside Unit-01, experienced a series of illusions.

There were all the people he knew, including his father Ikari Gendo, Asuka, Ayanami Rei, and... Misato, who had always taken care of him like an older sister.

Even at the end, he saw in that "strange ceiling"...

The blurry image of his mother breastfeeding him.

But finally, 30 days later, Shinji Ikari's body reappeared...
