\"Code
\nLoli’er Anya<\/p>\n

The Big Revelation episode. I can’t say that it comes as a surprise considering how much the story has hinted at it, especially since I was never really convinced that Charles was evil. He lacks Schneizel’s eyes, and that hairdo is just begging to be not taken seriously.<\/p>\n

I’m sure everyone has already watched the episode by now, so I will not try to work around the spoilers this time, since the entire episode is basically one huge spoiler.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Summary<\/h3>\n

\"Code
\nThe Central Dogma<\/p>\n

Enclosed within the enigmatic Central Dogma<\/strong> that lies deep beneath the surface of reality, Gendou<\/strong> and Shinji Ikari<\/strong> have a father-to-son chat over the future of humanity. Gendou is trying to activate the final stage of the Human Instrumentality Project<\/strong>, widely known as the Third Impact<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Code
\nShe was in EVA-01 all along<\/p>\n

They are soon joined by the physical manifestation of Yui Ikari<\/strong>‘s spirit, who has long been hidden in the body of another after her mysterious death. It turns out that Gendou, despite his self-scripted cold-hearted nature, has never stopped loving Yui. Shinji is shocked to discover that his long-dead mother has been so close to him all these years, and that the father he so despised turns out to be merely misunderstood.<\/p>\n

\"Code
\nYggdrasil, the World Tree<\/p>\n

With Rei Ayanami<\/strong>, the immortal Lilith<\/strong>, as the catalyst of the final stage, and Gendou at the controls, the Human Instrumentality Project is about to reach completion. Although the original plan calls for the unity of Adam<\/strong> and EVA-01<\/strong> in achieving this, circumstances have changed and the improvisation will be sufficient for Gendou’s intention. Absolute Territory Field<\/strong>, the invisible metaphysical barrier that separates the collective consciousness of mankind into unique independent individuals is about to be destroyed, and all evils will be removed from the world. Gendou is about to create a kind world where tragedies such as the one his family went through will never again happen.<\/p>\n

\"Code
\nAsuka in EVA-02 surveys the fallen bodies of the mass production EVAs<\/p>\n

But the very desire for peace and kindness will be erased by the removal of individuality. Hatred will disappear, but so will love. Shinji, though temporarily overwhelmed by the futility of his past actions, realizes that this is not the kind of world he wished for when he fought for peace. He declares his intention to stop his father’s actions, which he sees as a selfish desire that Gendou is trying to force upon the world.<\/p>\n

\"Code
\n“Sorry Gendou, I like them young”<\/p>\n

Rei, though she has an emotionless exterior, is deeply in love with Shinji, the son of the woman who gave her life. She betrays the trust of Gendou and helps hand the keys to humanity’s future to Shinji.<\/p>\n

Real Summary<\/h3>\n

Replace Shinji with Lelouch, Gendou with Charles, Rei with C.C. and Yui with Marianne. I guess Kallen is Asuka, but I’m not comfortable with it because I hate Asuka. The analogy kind of falls apart when it comes to Suzaku, the extra guy. Oh well. Maybe he’s Gendou’s former bitch, Ritsuko.<\/p>\n
