Not entirely sure what it means to be in an awakened state, but I think it's probably safe to assume that it involved acquiring an S2 organ from Zeruel (by eating it) and that all this wasn't going to happen with either Rei or the dummy plug in the pilot's seat. Having Shinji as the pilot, who seemed to have been able to activate Eva-01 instantly without the aid of plugsuits or anything, they quickly make some short work out of the most powerful Angel to date, runs out of power, and Yui (possibly with the help of Shinji) turns the berserker thing up a notch and syncs with him at 400% and "awakens". RITSUKO: Does that mean she's really awakened? Move! Come on, move! If you don't move now, if you don't do it now,Įveryone's going to die! I don't want any more of that! So. SHINJI: Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! But it seems to me that Yui wanted Shinji specifically, and that part of her plan was to set this in motion. Given the flashbacks and the retro episode, it's probably the case that their big plans involved the 3 of them: Gendo, Yui, Fuyutsuki, and it probably involved Shinji to some significant degree. We can only speculate what those plans were, and what made them split at this particular point. Gendo notes that the Eva is specifically rejecting him, which seems to be plausible since both Rei and the dummy system has successfully syned in the past but for some reason, this particular moment, Gendo and Yui's agenda diverge. Rei, being the dummy system's core, was also refused (as Ritsuko notes to herself). So we know Rei has synced with Eva-01 before, but for some reason the Eva itself is refusing Rei. Unit 01 is rejecting the neural connections!Īnd after they swap her out and insert the dummy plug: Maybe this was just the path of least resistance. There's some other possible actions, of course, like the Eva going berserk like it has in the past to save Shinji. It's entirely possible that Yui "let" this happen. That's probably part of what's going on here, keeping in mind that during this dialog Eva-01 is actively in a wrestling match with Eva-03, an Angel, and in grave danger. We know Yui is within Eva-01 and her emotional attachment to her son is partly why the Eva+Pilot pairing ends up being so powerful. One is that Shinji is in the plug and the second is that there was some technobabble about some "emotional elements". Commence attack.Ģ things are probably important here. MAN (OFF): All nerves linked directly to the dummy system.ģ2.8% of Emotional Elements are unclear. IBUKI (OFF): Control system switch is complete. HYUGA (OFF): Reception of the signal, confirmed. SHINJI: What is this? What did you do, Father?! A lot of this will have to be speculation since most of these things are never explicitly explained, but we do have a couple of clues.
