Description: **Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo (2012)**
Fourteen years after the catastrophic event known as the Third Impact, Evangelion pilots Asuka Langley Shikinami and Mari Illustrious Makinami retrieve a container from Earth’s orbit containing Evangelion Unit 01 and its pilot, Shinji Ikari. Asuka dons her old plugsuit, urged by Mari, in an attempt to make Shinji recognize them. However, when Asuka approaches the container with her Evangelion unit, it releases attack drones. Unit 01 awakens, destroys the drones, and then returns to Earth. Kaworu Nagisa, observing the events, reveals he has been waiting for Shinji.
After being salvaged from Unit 01, Shinji is equipped with an explosive choker and handed over to Captain Misato Katsuragi, now leading WILLE, an organization determined to destroy NERV, her former employer. NERV is the paramilitary group responsible for deploying Evangelion units. As more drones attack, Misato deploys the flying battleship *Wunder*, powered by Unit 01, to counter the threat. She warns Shinji that piloting an Evangelion again would result in his death due to the consequences of the Third Impact, which has also halted the pilots’ aging.
Meanwhile, an Evangelion unit, Mark.09, intercepts the *Wunder*. Hearing Rei Ayanami’s voice, Shinji escapes with the unit. Rei takes him to the ruins of NERV headquarters, where Shinji’s father, Gendo Ikari, reveals his plan for Shinji to pilot a new Evangelion, Unit 13, alongside Kaworu. As Shinji builds a friendship with Kaworu through piano duets, he discovers that Rei has no memories and only follows orders. Kaworu shows Shinji the ruins of Tokyo-3, explaining that Shinji’s awakening of Unit 01 triggered the Third Impact. He also uncovers Gendo’s plan to force humanity’s evolution through mass extinction, erasing individuality to reunite with his deceased wife, Yui Ayanami.
Later, Gendo’s assistant, Kozo Fuyutsuki, invites Shinji to play shogi and reveals that Yui’s consciousness resides within Unit 01 as its control system. Rei, it turns out, is one of several clones of Shinji’s mother, and the Rei who rescued him is merely the latest iteration. Overwhelmed by this revelation, Shinji is left distraught, while Kaworu removes his choker and wears it himself to earn Shinji’s trust.
