1
00:00:25,104 --> 00:00:26,210
Asuka 1: Hi!

2
00:00:26,210 --> 00:00:28,120
Asuka 1: Long time no see!

3
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,070
Asuka 1: I’m Soryu Asuka Langley.

4
00:00:31,070 --> 00:00:35,427
Asuka 2: And I’m the well-known Shikinami Asuka Langley.

5
00:00:35,427 --> 00:00:40,890
Asuka (1,2): Together, we’re Double Asuka Langley!

6
00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:43,873
Asuka 1: This is the first time the two of us have met like this.

7
00:00:43,873 --> 00:00:46,454
Asuka 2: Nice to meet… myself.

8
00:00:46,454 --> 00:00:50,878
Asuka 1: Coming back after twenty-nine years really makes me nervous.

9
00:00:50,878 --> 00:00:58,755
Asuka 2: Plus, we’re from different timelines, so without this 30th anniversary event, we’d never have met.

10
00:00:58,755 --> 00:01:02,475
Asuka 1: Anyway… Shikinami, you’ve had it rough too.

11
00:01:02,475 --> 00:01:08,173
Asuka 1: Running around in revealing outfits, lounging around in that adult plugsuit…

12
00:01:08,173 --> 00:01:14,206
Asuka 1: And all those misunderstandings from the past. I’d be so embarrassed I’d want to bury myself underground.

13
00:01:14,206 --> 00:01:20,574
Asuka 2: If we’re talking about that, Soryu, Shinji saw every inch of you.

14
00:01:20,574 --> 00:01:27,110
Asuka 2: After all that happened, I’d have run off naked straight into the Minus-Universe from sheer embarrassment.

15
00:01:27,110 --> 00:01:33,914
Asuka 1: Well, you were almost devoured and absorbed by Unit-13. You didn’t have it easy either.

16
00:01:33,914 --> 00:01:45,176
Asuka 2: And you’re no better — mental contamination, psychological collapse, and getting eaten by the Eva Series along with Unit-02.

17
00:01:45,176 --> 00:01:46,718
Asuka (1,2): Ah… what a mess…

18
00:01:46,718 --> 00:01:51,075
Asuka (1,2): When you think about it, we always end up playing that role.

19
00:01:51,075 --> 00:01:54,728
Asuka 1: It’s about time we got a happy ending.

20
00:01:54,728 --> 00:01:58,449
Asuka 2: Yeah. Especially you.

21
00:01:58,449 --> 00:02:02,001
Asuka 1: Right. I want to make myself happy.

22
00:02:02,001 --> 00:02:07,331
Asuka 1: That’s all. Maybe my ending made the protagonist — that idiot Shinji — happy, but…

23
00:02:07,331 --> 00:02:09,342
Asuka 1: Not me!

24
00:02:09,342 --> 00:02:14,939
Asuka 1: I was dragged into his world and he ended up strangling me. It was disgusting.

25
00:02:14,939 --> 00:02:18,492
Asuka 1: Where’s my happiness in that?

26
00:02:18,492 --> 00:02:26,837
Asuka 1: Now there’s finally a chance to rewrite the timeline. Even if it’s brief, this time I’m the protagonist.

27
00:02:26,837 --> 00:02:30,591
Asuka 1: Even if I end up with that idiot Shinji, there should be another way.

28
00:02:30,591 --> 00:02:34,949
Asuka 1: Something clearer, more emotional — something that looks happy.

29
00:02:34,949 --> 00:02:37,261
Asuka 1: That’s what I want!

30
00:02:37,261 --> 00:02:43,160
Asuka 1: That’s my small, pathetic wish.

31
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,914
Kaworu: Sounds good. I can grant that wish.

32
00:02:46,914 --> 00:02:48,992
Asuka 1: You should stay out of this.

33
00:02:48,992 --> 00:02:53,048
Asuka 2: You can’t even make Shinji happy, so we don’t need your help.

34
00:02:53,048 --> 00:02:59,684
Asuka 1: You’d probably just say something cryptic and complicate things even more.

35
00:02:59,684 --> 00:03:03,438
Kaworu: I’m sorry…

36
00:03:03,438 --> 00:03:05,281
Shinji: A-Asuka…

37
00:03:05,281 --> 00:03:10,845
Asuka 1: Shut up, idiot Shinji.

38
00:03:10,845 --> 00:03:12,923
Asuka 2: So, what do we do now?

39
00:03:12,923 --> 00:03:17,616
Asuka 2: In my world, besides that boy, there’s someone else who can change the course of events.

40
00:03:17,616 --> 00:03:19,828
Asuka 1: I don’t want to rely on some rookie.

41
00:03:19,828 --> 00:03:23,113
Asuka 1: I’ll claim my happiness with my own hands.

42
00:03:23,113 --> 00:03:25,626
Asuka 2: That’s the spirit.

43
00:03:25,626 --> 00:03:28,978
Asuka 2: Then let’s try the Ikari Shinji method.

44
00:03:28,978 --> 00:03:30,051
Asuka 1: What’s that?

45
00:03:30,051 --> 00:03:34,944
Asuka 2: Sleep. Then open your eyes in a close-up.

46
00:03:34,944 --> 00:03:37,826
Asuka 2: And the story changes.

47
00:03:37,826 --> 00:03:39,067
Asuka 1: Ah… I see.

48
00:03:39,067 --> 00:03:44,530
Asuka 2: If you keep repeating it, someday the world you want will appear.

49
00:03:44,530 --> 00:03:47,781
Asuka 1: Yeah… it’s worth a try.

50
00:03:47,781 --> 00:03:50,731
Episode 26 + 1 The Two Asukas

51
00:03:50,731 --> 00:03:52,473
Asuka 1: Then, let’s go to sleep.

52
00:03:52,473 --> 00:03:55,825
Asuka 2: Good night, Asuka.

53
00:03:55,825 --> 00:04:14,963
Misato: Evangelion Unit-01, launch!

54
00:04:14,963 --> 00:04:16,906
Misato: Shinji, respond!

55
00:04:16,906 --> 00:04:29,275
Misato: Hurry, get up!

56
00:04:29,275 --> 00:04:33,096
Maya: Flying object approaching headquarters. It’s a Euro-NERV unit.

57
00:04:33,096 --> 00:04:38,057
Misato: No way!

58
00:04:38,057 --> 00:04:42,112
Misato: So Unit-02 was completed.

59
00:04:42,112 --> 00:05:00,345
Asuka: A true hero always arrives right on time.

60
00:05:00,345 --> 00:05:04,870
Asuka: With me here, there’s no problem.

61
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:27,561
Asuka: I’ll defeat you instantly!

62
00:05:27,561 --> 00:05:28,466
Asuka 1: CUT!

63
00:05:28,466 --> 00:05:29,639
Asuka 1: Are you stupid?!

64
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:31,751
Asuka 1: I’d never say something that cliché.

65
00:05:31,751 --> 00:05:34,834
Asuka 1: Besides, this plot mixes with yours.

66
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:36,309
Asuka 1: Retake. Retake.

67
00:05:36,309 --> 00:05:54,810
Asuka 2: Understood. Good night, Asuka.

68
00:05:54,810 --> 00:05:55,816
Asuka 1: CUT!

69
00:05:55,816 --> 00:05:56,989
Asuka 1: What is this?

70
00:05:56,989 --> 00:05:59,335
Asuka 1: Why would I want to become gigantic?

71
00:05:59,335 --> 00:06:01,112
Asuka 2: I thought you wanted power.

72
00:06:01,112 --> 00:06:03,022
Asuka 1: My happiness isn’t that!

73
00:06:03,022 --> 00:06:04,631
Asuka 1: Retake.

74
00:06:04,631 --> 00:06:16,295
Asuka 2: Understood. Good night, Asuka.

75
00:06:16,295 --> 00:06:19,479
Fuyutsuki: Calm your mind.

76
00:06:19,479 --> 00:06:23,166
Fuyutsuki: That’s the key to victory.

77
00:06:23,166 --> 00:06:30,674
Fuyutsuki: Checkmate in 31 moves.

78
00:06:30,674 --> 00:06:31,612
Asuka 1: CUT!

79
00:06:31,612 --> 00:06:32,718
Asuka 1: What is this?

80
00:06:32,718 --> 00:06:35,064
Asuka 1: Why am I playing shogi?

81
00:06:35,064 --> 00:06:36,975
Asuka 2: I thought you liked competition.

82
00:06:36,975 --> 00:06:38,919
Asuka 1: Winning by cheating means nothing.

83
00:06:38,919 --> 00:06:41,567
Asuka 1: Next time, give me a sweet romance.

84
00:06:41,567 --> 00:07:00,169
Asuka 2: Understood. Good night, Asuka.

85
00:07:00,169 --> 00:07:01,677
Asuka: What an incredible view!

86
00:07:01,677 --> 00:07:06,436
Shinji: This place is also called the Machu Picchu of New Tokyo-3.

87
00:07:06,436 --> 00:07:10,358
Shinji: I want to see many more worlds with you, Asuka.

88
00:07:10,358 --> 00:07:12,570
Asuka: Shinji…

89
00:07:12,570 --> 00:07:16,290
Asuka: This is so embarrassing.

90
00:07:16,290 --> 00:07:17,933
Asuka: I’m happy.

91
00:07:17,933 --> 00:07:18,771
Asuka: Shinji?

92
00:07:18,771 --> 00:07:19,709
Asuka 1: CUT!

93
00:07:19,709 --> 00:07:21,586
Asuka 1: Hey, is Shinji okay?

94
00:07:21,586 --> 00:07:22,558
Asuka 2: Yeah.

95
00:07:22,558 --> 00:07:25,910
Asuka 2: Keep going.

96
00:07:25,910 --> 00:07:27,552
Shinji: I thought I was going to die.

97
00:07:27,552 --> 00:07:28,725
Asuka 1: Then that’s fine.

98
00:07:28,725 --> 00:07:29,932
Asuka 2: Shall we continue?

99
00:07:29,932 --> 00:07:32,814
Asuka 1: That’s enough. This is way too embarrassing. Let’s do it next time.

100
00:07:32,814 --> 00:07:43,540
Asuka 2: Then, good night, Asuka.

101
00:07:43,540 --> 00:07:44,378
Asuka 1: Cut!

102
00:07:44,378 --> 00:07:52,489
Asuka 1: Another take.

103
00:07:52,489 --> 00:07:53,561
Asuka: Pervert.

104
00:07:53,561 --> 00:07:54,466
Asuka 1: Cut!

105
00:07:54,466 --> 00:07:56,343
Asuka 1: Why am I imitating the First from your world?

106
00:07:56,343 --> 00:08:00,499
Asuka 1: Do it again.

107
00:08:00,499 --> 00:08:01,572
Asuka 1: Cut!

108
00:08:01,572 --> 00:08:02,410
Asuka 1: What is this?

109
00:08:02,410 --> 00:08:04,722
Asuka 2: I thought you wouldn’t want to be alone like me.

110
00:08:04,722 --> 00:08:06,867
Asuka 1: Maybe, but I don’t need myself.

111
00:08:06,867 --> 00:08:09,147
Asuka 1: I want someone else.

112
00:08:09,147 --> 00:08:15,481
Asuka 2: I see. Good night, Asuka.

113
00:08:15,481 --> 00:08:16,621
Asuka 1: Cut!

114
00:08:16,621 --> 00:08:18,699
Asuka 1: What was that? Way too embarrassing.

115
00:08:18,699 --> 00:08:21,280
Asuka 2: I thought you wanted to grow up quickly too.

116
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,090
Asuka 1: That’s not it!

117
00:08:23,090 --> 00:08:26,006
Asuka 1: Just find a happy world already.

118
00:08:26,006 --> 00:08:29,659
Asuka 2: Understood. Good night, Asuka.

119
00:08:29,659 --> 00:08:32,977
Soryu: Well done, Asuka-chan. You worked so hard.

120
00:08:32,977 --> 00:08:34,988
Soryu: Asuka-chan is a genius.

121
00:08:34,988 --> 00:08:38,541
Soryu: You’re Mom’s pride — such a good girl.

122
00:08:38,541 --> 00:08:41,591
Soryu: Asuka-chan, you can do what you like too.

123
00:08:41,591 --> 00:08:45,948
Soryu: Mom is always watching over you, Asuka-chan.

124
00:08:45,948 --> 00:08:47,188
Asuka 1: Cut!

125
00:08:47,188 --> 00:08:49,434
Asuka 1: No… this doesn’t work.

126
00:08:49,434 --> 00:08:53,087
Asuka 1: It feels uncomfortable. Like I’m not myself.

127
00:08:53,087 --> 00:08:54,830
Asuka 1: Definitely not this.

128
00:08:54,830 --> 00:08:57,746
Asuka 2: Yeah, you’re right.

129
00:08:57,746 --> 00:09:08,103
Asuka 2: Good night, Asuka.

130
00:09:08,103 --> 00:09:11,019
The train is about to arrive at the station.

131
00:09:11,019 --> 00:09:39,073
Please stand behind the yellow safety line.

132
00:09:39,073 --> 00:09:40,883
Mari: Who is it?

133
00:09:40,883 --> 00:09:44,301
Asuka: A stunning beauty with an 87 bust.

134
00:09:44,301 --> 00:09:45,609
Mari: Bingo.

135
00:09:45,609 --> 00:09:46,983
Asuka 1: Cut!

136
00:09:46,983 --> 00:09:49,027
Asuka 1: The sequence isn’t bad, but…

137
00:09:49,027 --> 00:09:52,312
Asuka 1: I want to be happy in my own world.

138
00:09:52,312 --> 00:09:56,736
Shinji: In a world without Eva.

139
00:09:56,736 --> 00:10:02,266
The Line 2 express train is about to arrive.

140
00:10:02,266 --> 00:10:07,361
Please stand behind the yellow safety line.

141
00:10:07,361 --> 00:10:10,445
The Line 2 train departs at 14:20.

142
00:10:10,445 --> 00:10:14,701
Bound for Second City.

143
00:10:14,701 --> 00:10:19,360
Passengers without authorization may not board.

144
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:27,136
We repeat: the Line 2 train departs at 14:20 bound for Second City.

145
00:10:27,136 --> 00:10:55,022
Passengers without authorization may not board.

146
00:10:55,022 --> 00:11:11,781
Shinji: Asuka, come with me.

147
00:11:11,781 --> 00:11:15,870
Asuka: Thank you, Shinji… but it’s okay now.

148
00:11:15,870 --> 00:11:20,596
Asuka: This gentle, peaceful world isn’t where I belong.

149
00:11:20,596 --> 00:11:23,378
Asuka: I have a place to protect.

150
00:11:23,378 --> 00:11:27,467
Asuka: And I’m done relying on dreams.

151
00:11:27,467 --> 00:11:31,556
Asuka: I’ll find happiness with my own strength in reality.

152
00:11:31,556 --> 00:11:35,142
Asuka: I’ve realized that’s the way that’s truly me.

153
00:11:35,142 --> 00:11:45,097
Chapter 27 The Only Smart Way Out.

154
00:11:45,097 --> 00:11:47,074
Asuka 2: Well? Nostalgic, right?

155
00:11:47,074 --> 00:11:49,487
Asuka 1: Not bad.

156
00:11:49,487 --> 00:11:51,599
Asuka 2: We practiced a lot.

157
00:11:51,599 --> 00:11:58,671
Asuka 1: I’m pretty excited.

158
00:11:58,671 --> 00:12:03,330
Asuka 1: I’ve never sung in front of people… it’s embarrassing.

159
00:12:03,330 --> 00:12:04,168
Asuka 2: I know~

160
00:12:04,168 --> 00:12:08,491
Asuka 1: What are you singing?!

161
00:12:08,491 --> 00:12:10,469
Asuka 1: I won’t rely on you anymore either.

162
00:12:10,469 --> 00:12:23,340
Asuka 1: I am me.

163
00:12:23,340 --> 00:12:24,781
Asuka 1: As long as humanity exists,

164
00:12:24,781 --> 00:12:26,926
Asuka 1: I’ll keep piloting the Eva.

165
00:12:26,926 --> 00:12:31,384
Asuka 1: My happiness lies in the future that comes after protecting everyone.
