Description:

The dashing Ryoji Kaji reveals he is playing a double game, working for both NERV and the Japanese government. Through him, Misato learns that Commander Ikari has somehow preserved Adam, the first Angel, who was the prototype for the Evas. He also tells her that the Marduk Institute, which is supposed to oversee NERV, is just a shell: Ikari is secretly pulling all the strings. In "Sickness Until Death," Asuka goads Shinji into attacking a weird Angel that resembles a black film only microns thick--yet it engulfs him and Eva 01. As the power supply for his life-support system nears depletion, Shinji experiences what may be hallucinations--or a fragmentary dialogue with the Angel. As the rescue mission Ritsuko has organized is about to begin, the Angel suddenly ruptures, expelling Eva 01. While Shinji recuperates, Eva 04 and the US NERV First Unit disappear from their Nevada testing ground in a mysterious explosion. Shinji's seemingly ordinary classmate, Toji Suzuhara, is revealed to be the "4th Child," the pilot of the newest Eva. The combination of revelations, mysteries, and action make for exciting viewing, and director Hideaki Anno skillfully builds suspense over the extended screen time. Not rated; suitable for ages 14 and up for robot versus robot violence, brief nudity, and minor profanity. --Charles Solomon
