Inside, Toji sees Shinji's great anguish and pain as he fights the Angel, and is beset by remorse. To protect them from the battle, Misato orders Toji and Kensuke to take refuge inВ the Evangelion's Entry plug. Shinji then begins fighting a defensive battle, attempting to protect Toji and Kensuke rather than defeat the Angel. This also severs Unit-01's Umbilical Cable, leaving her with just 5 minutes of activation power. The battle goes poorly for NERV, when Shinji loses his nerve to fight and is sent into the air by Shamshel, almost killing Toji and Kensuke as he lands, as they are frozen between its hands. Kensuke convinces Toji to sneak out of their shelter to watch the battle from nearby. The committee demands the dispatch of an Evangelion, and Shinji is mobilized in Unit-01 to defend the city. Shamshel, another Angel, is approaching Tokyo-3 and the conventional firepower is of no effect on it. Rei then arrives to tell Shinji that there is an emergency call. Shinji's pleas that he was piloting involuntarily only made Toji angrier. When his identity as a pilot is discovered by his classmates, Toji, who blames Shinji for his sister's injuries, gives Shinji a beating in retaliation. Toji has only just returned to class for the first time since the battle, explaining that he had to care for his sister, who was injured in the battle with Sachiel. Kensuke is a military geek who seems to be the only one enjoying the fact that Earth seems to be suddenly at war. Rei is in the class too, her eye and arm still bandaged, looking out the window.

We also meet their teacher, who seems to teach nothing but the history of the Second Impact. Ritsuko then calls Misato to check on Shinji and is told that Shinji seems to have made no friends at school after two weeks since he transferred to his new school.ДЄt school, we are introduced to Shinji's classmates: Kensuke Aida, Toji Suzuhara, and Hikari Horaki, the class rep. Shinji then departs for school, leaving the trash for pickup. The next morning, he tries to wake Misato up, while a female radio announcer talks about scuba diving and tells the audience that the Earth no longer has seasons, but instead has consistent weather year-round. In the beginning of the episode, he is seen lethargically going through a simulation training. Shinji tries to adjust to his new life in Tokyo-3, but has little interest in piloting, and his relations with Misato are still distant. Three weeks have passed since the events of the first episode.

Afterwards, he is traumatized by the emotions he experienced during the battle. Shinji is pushed to his mental limit during the battle, going berserk during the last seconds, engaging the Angel in close combat and savagely disabling it.

Another Angel, Shamshel, appears, and Shinji must defeat it. Toji is angry with Shinji because his sister was badly injured in Shinji's first fight against the Angel Sachiel. Shinji begins school at Tokyo-3 and meets his classmates: TЕЌji Suzuhara, Kensuke Aida, and Hikari Horaki.
