Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 496 1 Everything in the Past

Chapter 496: Everything in the Past (Original)

In the 21st episode, it tells the story of...

Back to the story 17 years ago.

At that time, even the Second Impact had not occurred yet.

At this time, a key figure appeared - Ikari Yui.

When this name appears, the audience will naturally be familiar with it.

This is the long-deceased mother of the protagonist Ikari Shinji and the wife of Ikari Gendo.

But the exact reason for her death has not been revealed to this day.

Now that it appears in a flashback format, everyone is naturally curious about it.

And she turned out to be... a student of Deputy Commander Dr. Dongyue, and they were jointly researching the subject of powerful creatures.

At this moment, a man who looked strange yet familiar appeared. He was... Gendo Ikari when he was young.

At this time, he had not yet put on sunglasses and had a thick beard that symbolized maturity.

Without his sunglasses, he now looked like a gangster with gloomy eyes.

At this time, his name was Lu Yuantang.
Then he came into contact with Fuyutsuki through a drunken fight, and then got to know Ikari Yui.

Because Ikari Yui had already joined the Seele organization due to family reasons.

It was obvious that he came here with the intention of joining the Seele organization.

But Ikari Yui also thought he was a very cute person. No matter what, they got to know each other, dated, and eventually got married and had a child.

Lu Yuantang changed his name to Ikari Yuantang by marrying into the family, and got his wish to enter Seele with the help of the Ikari family relationship behind Ikari Yui.

As soon as this plot came out, the audience was shocked.

"No way, he really is marrying into the family?!"

Zhou Wenwei was annoyed. He had made a bet with his girlfriend Ke Xinjie that it would be impossible for Ikari Gendō to marry into the family with his ability.

Unexpectedly, Ikari Gendō was able to join the Seele organization only by marrying into the family and relying on the power of the Ikari family.

But if you think about it carefully, Seele is probably a very strict organization. Sometimes, no matter how capable a person is, he still needs external help to enter such an organization.

Sometimes, the threshold determines the identity.

"Hahaha! I'll tell you!"

Ke Xinjie was very proud and said, "I think it's very likely that you'll marry into the family. You should accept the loss in the next week."

"Good good!"

Zhou Wenwei was helpless, but he actually felt a little amused.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of playfulness between lovers.

Other viewers were shocked that Ikari Gendō was actually marrying into the family.

"The reason why Shinji Ikari married into his mother's family was to join Seele and climb up step by step."

"This kind of person is really scary. He has the ability and ambition, but he doesn't care about worldly public opinion."

"To be honest... Ikari Yui is pretty, gentle, well-educated, and a perfect white, rich, and beautiful woman... Actually, I am not incompetent either."

"Yes! It's worth it! Marrying a beautiful, wealthy woman, and joining a high-ranking mysterious organization, I would definitely be willing to do that."

"Didn't you see that the commander later fell in love with Yui Ikari? She's really white, rich, beautiful, and has a good temper. Who wouldn't like her?"

"Why do I feel that my experience is somewhat similar to that of Qingshan the old thief..."

"That being said, it seems to be true. The webmaster is a real, rich, and beautiful lady in real life!"

"The webmaster's parents are the CEOs of Baidu. It was Baidu's investment that led to the establishment of Station C. Don't tell me it's true!"

"And it is said that Qingshan Laozei also knew the webmaster when he was still in college!"

"I understand. This is a work created by Qingshan Laozei and the webmaster ()"

"But that old thief Aoyama...it's hard to imagine that he would be someone like Ikari Gendō. He has always been crazy!"

"That's right, everyone, don't read too much into it. Qingshan Laozei didn't become famous just because he was with the webmaster. He was a genius cartoonist when he debuted."

"That's it!"

……

And shortly after Lu Yuantang married into the Ikari family and became Ikari Yui's husband.

Misato's father, Dr. Ge, proposed the S2 theory, which is the "super spiral theory".

The theoretical basis is that a spiral shape like DNA can provide endless energy.

The name "S2" immediately reminds people of the S2 mechanism mentioned by Ritsuko and Seele in the previous two episodes.

In the previous 2th Angel attack, Unit- went berserk and directly devoured the S mechanism of the Power Angel.

Is this what you are talking about?

Because the apostle possesses the S2 mechanism, there is a constant supply of energy to support the movement of its huge body.

Then according to this theory, since Unit-2 has the S mechanism, doesn't it mean that it can also possess its own power?
Then Dr. Ge's team chose to go to Antarctica to verify the S2 theory and began to study the development of the S2 mechanism.

The Spear of Longinus found in the Dead Sea was also brought to the Antarctic base, and then... they began to investigate "Adam" and started contact experiments with "Adam".

This contact experiment resulted in the second impact event.

At this time, Ikari Gendo, who was accompanying them, and Speaker Kiel, who was mentioned later, took the lead and returned to NERV headquarters with the experimental data.

Obviously they knew what was going to happen next.

As expected, Dr. Ge's team caused a tragedy known as the Second Impact during the subsequent contact experiment with "Adam".

They tried to seal Adam with the Spear of Longinus, but failed.

The tragedy of the second impact occurred, the Antarctic continent turned into a hollow, and the lucky survivor, young Misato, also appeared in the picture.

After she survived, she suffered from aphasia, which took her a long time to recover from.
From then on, the Antarctic continent became a landslide, the sea level rose by tens of meters, and even the earth's axis of rotation deviated, causing continuous disasters.

The earth underwent drastic changes, but this was covered up by the top leaders in their descriptions, who described it as a natural disaster caused by a meteorite impact rather than a man-made disaster.

Among the top leaders of the Seele organization, the contents of the Dead Sea Scrolls were once again verified.

Then, at their instruction, Plan E was launched, namely the Adam Revival Plan.

Then, guided by the contents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, they discovered another huge cave at the location of the New Demon City.

The Gehirn Institute was established here.

After this, the progress of Project E accelerated and they built the head and spinal cord of EVA-01.

Dr. Fuyutsuki was therefore bewitched by Gendō Ikari and joined the project of making EVA machines.

While Plan E was underway, a woman named Mu Chizi appeared. She was a supercomputer scientist, and she was Ritsuko's mother.

She was highly valued by Gendō Ikari and worked hard to develop the MAGI computer system, which later became an independent system of NERV headquarters.

then……

The construction of Unit-01 also began, but at this time, Yui Ikari brought Shinji Ikari, who was still a child at the time, to the research and development base of Unit-01.

And then...she just disappeared.

The series didn't explain why, but she disappeared unexpectedly, causing a great psychological trauma to Shinji Ikari.

He just left the New Demon City.

But Gendo Ikari did not stop there. The development of Unit-0 and Unit-01 continued, and he also proposed a new plan.

Although he didn't say what the plan was, everyone knew...

This is probably the "Human Instrumentality Project" that has been mentioned repeatedly.

Then, the young Rei Ayanami suddenly appeared beside Gendo Ikari.

But this Ayanami Rei... didn't look as quiet and beautiful as the three-no girl later. On the contrary, she always had a smile on her face. Just when everyone was thinking that maybe something happened to Ayanami Rei later that made her look like the one Ikari Shinji knew...

Akiko felt very familiar with Rei Ayanami at this moment...

She felt like Ikari Yui.

So, the conclusion is easy to come to...

"So Ayanami Rei has always been a clone? A clone of Ikari Yui?"

Ke Xinjie and other audience members guessed it immediately.

However, for a staunch supporter of Ikari Aya like Zhou Wenwei, the sky was falling.

Rei Ayanami is the clone of Yui Ikari, doesn't that mean Rei Ayanami is Shinji Ikari's mother?

What kind of weird setting is this?
Lovers eventually become mother and son? !

In short, the Ikari Aya Party, which was at its peak, was suddenly in dire straits.

The Ikari Akira party was ecstatic. They didn't expect that they could defeat their mortal enemy, the Ikari Aya party, with just official intervention.

However...the fight for the crown prince has always been like this!
The same is true for the party struggles and factions in the animation, where it is a life-and-death situation.

And this has nothing to do with them, they just won without any effort.

Ritsuko, who had just finished her studies, joined NERV headquarters and was about to go look for her mother, Akiko...

But he discovered the unknown relationship between the two.

Actually, logically speaking, Ikari Yui is missing and her life or death is unknown.

The relationship between Gendo Ikari and Akako can be considered normal.

There's nothing wrong.

It's just what happened afterwards...

Rei Ayanami found Akako, who initially asked her kindly if she had been forgotten by Gendo Ikari.

However, at this time, Ayanami Rei suddenly attacked Akiko with foul language -

"None of your business, old woman."

"Leave me alone, old woman."

Women are extremely sensitive about their age, but Rei Ayanami is just a little girl.

So Akagi managed to remain patient.

But Ayanami Rei continued to say things that hurt her heart -

"You are the old woman."

"That's what the director said about you when he mentioned you."

"He said the old woman was just nagging and there was no use for her anymore."

……

Then, all the memories with Ikari Gendo came to his mind, and murderous intent emerged in Akagi's eyes.

She simply reached out... and strangled Rei Ayanami to death!
At the same time, she pinched Rei Ayanami and said, "Even if you die, there will be a replacement..."

Suddenly she was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Anyway, just like me..."

Yes, both she and the current clone Rei Ayanami have substitutes.

However, the audience was confused when they saw her strangle Rei Ayanami to death.

"What? Ayanami Rei died here? The one behind..."

"Didn't she say that? There are always alternatives."

"Ayanami Rei is a clone...so she can be copied countless times later, so there are always substitutes."

"The most heartbreaking thing is that Akiko is not a clone, but she actually knows in her heart that in Ikari Gendo's eyes, she is just a tool to be used and a substitute for Ikari Yui's position, so she can also be replaced."

"So this is Rei Ayanami Unit-0, and the one behind is Rei Ayanami Unit-01."

"God damn Unit-0-01."

"Why do the two clones have completely different personalities? The Ayanami Rei in the back is so cute and sensible, but this one is so foul-mouthed?"

"I can only say that... if the two children are twins and their genes are exactly the same, then the difference in their personalities can only come from their upbringing."

"This...why does it look like Ikari Gendo's problem?"

"Children rarely lie, so Ayanami Rei may not just be foul-mouthed. It is possible that what she said came from Ikari Gendō's original words."

"Ikari Gendo...what's your intention?"

……

But after Akako strangled Rei Ayanami to death with her own hands in a fit of rage, she became horrified again.

Then, she didn't know whether it was because she was afraid of being punished and wanted to commit suicide, or because of what Ayanami Rei told her, but she felt like she had no desire to live.

In short, she committed suicide by jumping off the building that night.

So the matter was left unresolved because of her suicide. Later, the Human Instrumentality Project Committee disbanded the Gehirn Institute and disbanded and reorganized it.

The NERV headquarters, a special operations agency that carries out the entire plan, was built on the site of the original personnel transfer and research institute.

Ritsuko took over her mother Akako's job and was responsible for computer work at NERV headquarters and the EVA project.

At the same time, Misato also came out of the shadow of her father's death. In order to fulfill her father's wish and make up for his mistakes, she also joined the NERV headquarters.

The rest of the story returns to the familiar plot.

And after these past plot flashbacks were told, the audience finally seemed to understand a little.

But I don’t quite understand it.

After all, what are the most important parts, such as the Second Impact and the origins of apostles such as "Adam"?
What is the Human Completion Project?
Also, why did the accident happen to Ikari Yui? Was it done by Ikari Gendo?

Is it to completely seize the power of the Ikari family and use it for his own purposes?
There are still too many puzzles.

But at the end of this episode of the animation, the timeline returned to the present.

I saw Kaji Ryoji imprisoned Dr. Fuyutsuki, and then he made up his mind, "Well, let's start the action."

"I just want to know the truth that is close to my heart."

After saying this, he unlocked the shackles on Dr. Fuyutsuki's hands, and at the same time he said, "Besides, it seems that my secret giving of the Key of Nebuchadnezzar to Commander Ikari has been exposed."

"If you don't find a way to protect yourself, it will be bad."

They just walked out.

The scene then turned to Misato, who seemed to be imprisoned as well, but she was also released.

But after being released, she still thought about Ryoji Kaji and wanted to ask about him, but was told that she didn't know.

But soon after, Ryoji Kaji was standing in front of an industrial exhaust fan, seemingly waiting for someone.

"Oh, you're taking quite a while..."

He looked at the screen, but had no idea who he was waiting for.

But at this moment...

"boom--!!"

An unusually loud gunshot rang out, and then the picture went dark.

However, Ryoji Kaji was shot dead...

And no one knows who the murderer is.
