The Angel is trying to trigger the NERV base’s self-destruct, which requires a unanimous vote by all 3 supercomputers. Although Ritsuko’s firewall slowed the advance of the Angel’s infiltration, it is gradually taking over the 3rd and last supercomputer, and Ritsuko must race against the clock to program a self-termination kill-code which will restore control of the base and trick the Angel into destroying itself. |

Meanwhile,Shinji is trapped inside of the Angel’s body, and even on minimal power, he only has a few hours before his life support runs out and he dies. |

Gendo starts Third Impact with Rei, but she rejects Gendo and merges with Lilith to become a demigod-like being. The Mass Production Evas crucify Unit 01 with their Lance of Longinus replicas, and centering around the Rei/Lilith being create an Anti-AT field which spread over the entire world, reducing everyone to the primordial ooze of LCL, merging into a single super-being as all souls merge. In a surreal sequence, Shinji examines his life's meaning with Rei and what he truly wants, and after talking with the soul of his mother in Unit 01, decides to reject Instrumentality, accepting individual existence and the possibility of pain over the painless loss of identity. The Rei/Lilith being and the Mass Production Evas die, and Shinji walks out of the Sea of LCL which has formed over Earth. Shinji wakes up on the beach of the Sea of LCL, and finds that Asuka is inexplicably laying next to him, alive. |
