action

Fourteen years have passed since the Third Impact, but humanity is still under attack by the angels. Rescued from Evangelion Unit-01, Shinji Ikari realizes that things have changed, but not for the better: the world has been devastated and his former NERV allies have become hostile to him and Rei Ayanami.

The new organization WILLE, led by Misato Katsuragi, exists solely to destroy the last remaining EVAs of NERV. Although Shinji had risked everything for Rei, she has not yet been found in EVA unit 01. His former girlfriend Asuka is more hostile to him than ever, but reveals to him that none of the EVA pilots have aged in the past 14 years. During the first official meeting with Misato and Asuka, an attack by the EVA unit 09 sent by NERV, which is controlled by Rei, takes place. Disappointed by Misato, Shinji goes into the care of EVA-09 and disappears with her. The EVA unit brings him to the almost completely destroyed Geo-Front, where the last remnants of NERV, which essentially consists only of Shinji's father Gendō Ikari and his vice-commander Kōzō Fuyutsuki, continue to work on the perfection of humanity.

Shinji tries to adapt to the new environment and meets the enigmatic Kaworu Nagisa. They both go on a search for Rei and come across terrible truths behind the angels, NERV and the Evangelion. While Shinji struggles with himself and keeps wondering what happened to the "real Rei" and why he saved her and then didn't save her, he learns the truth about his mother Yui Ikari and Rei Ayanami. Fuyutsuki reveals to him that his mother was once responsible for the controls on the EVA project and wanted to connect to the core itself. In doing so, however, she merged with it and only her notes remained, from which the Ayanami series was finally created. He also explains that the real personality of Rei Ayanami, just like the real personality of Yui Ikari, will be preserved in Evangelion Unit-01. After this realization, Shinji's unstable personality breaks again, as he realizes that in fact at the end of Evangelion: 2.22 he had not saved "his" Rei.

EVA-13 is ready and Shinji is supposed to control it together with Kaworu. You are moving with the new unit, together with Rei in EVA-09, in the direction of the central dogma, from where the Third Impact originated in order to revise it. Shinji, annoyed by the new knowledge, is repeatedly derogatory to Rei, who in his opinion is not "his" Rei. Having arrived at the central dogma, Kaworu has doubts about the mission; something is wrong with the two spears of Longinus and Cassius that they want to get their possession down there, because they should be of different types, but apparently they are not. Since Kaworu no longer reacts, Shinji steers EVA-13 alone in the direction of the spears that were stuck in the body of Lilith and EVA unit 06. Suddenly EVA-02 and EVA-08 appear to prevent Shinji from pulling out the spears. While EVA-08 is shooting at EVA-09, Asuka tries to stop Shinji with her EVA. It doesn't work.

Shinji climbs onto Lilith's back with his EVA unit and pulls out both spears, despite Kaworu's warnings that this is wrong. Instead of reversing the Third Impact, Shinji triggers the Fourth Impact. Lilith's body dissolves and reveals EVA unit 06: It is the 12th angel. The energy core of the angel forms around EVA-13, but it now assumes its true shape and assimilates the core. While Shinji is desperately trying to understand what he's been doing, Kaworu realizes that he is not only the first but also the thirteenth angel. Meanwhile, EVA-13 climbs higher and higher and opens the gates of Guf. Meanwhile, Rei loses control of EVA-09 and catapults himself to safety by ejecting the pilot capsule. The driverless EVA unit 09 is now attacking Misato's aircraft to prevent it from stopping the Fourth Impact. Asuka attacks EVA-09 but fails to gain the upper hand in conventional combat. Finally, Asuka initiates the self-destruction of EVA-02 and catapults herself to safety just before the explosion.

To prevent the Fourth Impact, Kaworu lets himself be killed in front of Shinji's eyes by a dead man's mechanism , the chocker. Shinji then turns into a ball and no longer cares about EVA-13 or the world, whereupon EVA-13 falls to the ground. Mari, who is in EVA-08, manages to blast the entry plug with Shinji out of the EVA.

At the end, Asuka takes Shinji and Rei to a safe place so that Misato can pick them up there.
