"ANGEL ATTACK" fan translation by sharpsnack Broadcast: Today at 12:30 PM, a state of special emergency has been declared for the Tokai region and the surrounding mid-Kanto area. Residents should evacuate to a designated emergency shelter as soon as possible. Broadcast: I repeat, …(repeated) ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: How could I lose sight of him at a time like this? ___________________________________________________________________________ Telephone: Due to the declaration of a special emergency, all phone lines are currently suspended. Shinji: Really? Maybe I shouldn’t have come… It’ll be impossible to make it now. It can’t be helped, I’ll just go to a shelter. ___________________________________________________________________________ Operator: Unidentified object is still continuing its advance to headquarters. Operator: We have a visual of the target. I’ll project the image to the main monitors. Fuyutsuki: It’s been 15 years. Gendo: There's no doubt in my mind; it's an angel. TITLE EPISODE: 1 ANGEL ATTACK ___________________________________________________________________________ United Nations forces: Direct hit to the target! Misato: Sorry! Been a long wait? ___________________________________________________________________________ Operator: Target unharmed. It is still advancing toward Tokyo-3. Operator: Air forces unable to neutralize target! Commander: This means war! Launch all units from Atsugi and Iruma! Commander: Throw everything we’ve got at it! Eliminate the target, no matter what! Commander: Impossible! That was a direct hit! Commander: The tank battalion has been destroyed! Both guided munitions and artillery bombing proved completely ineffective. Commander: No! We won’t lay a finger on it with this type of firepower! Fuyutsuki: Is this due to the A.T. Field? Gendo: Conventional weapons are useless against the angels. Commander: Yes sir, it will be deployed as planned. ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: Hey, don't tell me they’re going to use an N2 mine! Misato: Get down!!! ___________________________________________________________________________ Commander: We’ve done it! Commander: Unfortunately, it seems that your assistance was not necessary this time. Operator: Shock wave incoming. ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: Are you okay? Shinji: My mouth feels full of dust, but otherwise I’m fine. Misato: Glad to hear it. Misato: Ok, ready? Shinji and Misato: *pushing sounds* Misato: Thanks, I couldn’t have done it without you. Shinji: No, you’re the one I should be thanking, Ms. Katsuragi. Misato: You can call me Misato, ‘kay? Nice to meet you, Shinji Ikari. Shinji: You too. ___________________________________________________________________________ Commander: Current status of the target? Operator: Status unknown due to electromagnetic interference. Commander: The blast was enermous! It must be completely obliterated! Operator: Sensors back online. Operator: Energy readings at the epicenter of the explosion! Commander: What?! Operator: Visual feed back online. Commander: Oh... Commander: Our trump card is gone... Commander: Oh my God... Commander: You damn monster! ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: Don't worry, his protection is my top priority. Just prepare the car train for me and the Third. The direct one. Got it. I'll take full responsibility for him. See you. Misato: (Ough, this day is terrible already…I just restored this car, and it’s already trashed. I’ve still got 33 more loan payments, plus repair costs. On top of that, I even ruined my clothes. Shinji: Ms. Misato? Misato: This was my best outfit too…) Shinji: Excuse me? Ms. Misato? Misato: Hmm? What? Shinji: Is it okay to do this? Misato: Oh well. It's an emergency now, so it can't be helped. Gotta get the car moving, right? And even though I may not seem like it, I'm an international civil servant. Everything will be just peachy! Shinji: That's a bad excuse. Misato: Loosen up, will ya? For such a cute kid, you sure are uptight. Shinji: Oh, is that so? Misato: *condescendingly* What’s wrong? Did I make you angry??? I’m sowwy!!! Didn’t wanna hurt your feelings! Shinji: You’re quite childish for your age, Ms. Misato. ___________________________________________________________________________ Fuyutsuki: Is it regenerating as expected? Gendo: If it couldn’t, it would be useless as a stand-alone weapon. Fuyutsuki: Fascinating. It can also amplify its abilities. Gendo: On top of that, it seems to have gotten smarter. Fuyutsuki: It's only a matter of time before it resumes its attack. ___________________________________________________________________________ Announcement: The gate is closing, please exercise caution. Attention, please. The train is departing soon. Shinji: So this is special agency NERV? Misato: Yes. A private organization directly attached to the United Nations. Shinji: I think my father works here, doesn’t he? Misato: That’s right! Do you know what he does here? Shinji: My teacher said he had the important job of protecting humanity. ___________________________________________________________________________ Commander: Command of this operation has been transferred to you. Let’s see what you can do. Gendo: Understood. Commander: Mr. Ikari, we will admit our weapons are ineffective against the target. Commander: But can you win? Gendo: That is NERV’s purpose. Commander: I'm looking forward to it. Operator: Target status has not changed. Makoto: At the moment, the intercept capacity rate is at 7.5%. Fuyutsuki: The United Nations is at a loss. What are you going to do? Gendo: Activate Unit-01. Fuyutsuki: The first unit? But there is no pilot. Gendo: That is not an issue, another will arrive in due time. ___________________________________________________________________________ Shinji: Will we be going to see my father now? Misato: That's right. At least, I think so. Shinji: Father... Misato: Oh right, did you get an ID card from your father? Shinji: Oh yes, here you go. Misato: Thank you. Now please give this a read, okay? Shinji: NERV? My father’s work…and I have something to do here? Misato:... Shinji: That's right...There's no way my father would write to me unless he wanted me to do something for him. Misato: I see...you're not good at talking to your father, are you? Same as me. Shinji: Amazing! It's a real Geo-front! Misato: That’s right. And this is NERV’s secret headquarters. The key to rebuilding the world and the last bastion of humanity. (eyecatch thing) NEON GENESIS EVANGELION ___________________________________________________________________________ NEON GENESIS EVANGELION EPISODE:1 ANGEL ATTACK Misato: This is so confusing, I’m positive it was this way... Announcement: The closed passage of Central Dogma is now open. Misato: I shouldn’t be wearing a skirt in a place like this. Misato: I wonder where Ritsuko went... Misato: Sorry, I don’t really have my bearings of this place yet. Shinji: We just passed through here. Misato: Don’t worry, NERV has systems in place just for something like this! ___________________________________________________________________________ Announcement: Dr. Ritsuko Akagi, Dr. Ritsuko Akagi, Division 1 of the Technology Department, Director of Project E, please contact Captain Misato Katsuragi, Division 1 of the Operations Department as soon as possible. Ritsuko: Unbelievable. She got lost again, didn’t she? ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: Oh, hi Ritsuko... Ritsuko: Stop fooling around, Captain Katsuragi. We’re short on both manpower and time. Misato: Sorry! Ritsuko: So, this is the boy. Misato: Yes, the Third Children according to the Marduk Institute’s report. Ritsuko: It’s a pleasure. Shinji: Oh, yes. Misato: He’s just like his father, completely lacking in charm. ___________________________________________________________________________ Gendo: I’ll leave you in charge, Fuyutsuki. Fuyutsuki: Face-to-face after 3 years... Hyuga: Deputy Commander, the target has began to move again. Fuyutsuki: Understood. All personnel to type-one battle stations! ___________________________________________________________________________ Announcement: I repeat, all personnel to type-one battle stations. Prepare for ground interception. Misato: You heard that? Ritsuko: This is a big deal. Misato: So, how is the first unit? Ritsuko: Currently cooling with Type-B configuration. Misato: Does it really work? It’s never moved yet, has it? Ritsuko: The chance of successful activation is 0.000000001%. The O-9 system sure is an accurate name for it. Misato: So it won't move? Ritsuko: Oh, don’t be rude. It’s not zero percent. Misato: In terms of numbers. Well, we don’t have the luxury of accepting failure. ___________________________________________________________________________ Shinji: Oh, it's pitch dark! Shinji: A face...? What is that thing? Ritsuko: You won’t find this mentioned in the pamphlet. Shinji: What? Ritsuko: The ultimate multipurpose humanoid decisive battle weapon created by humans. The Evangelion. This is the first unit. Humanity's ace in the hole, constructed in complete secrecy. Shinji: Is this part of my father's work? Gendo: Correct. Gendo: It's been a long time. Shinji: Father... Gendo: Launch the Evangelion. Misato: Launch it? But Unit-00 is grounded! Wait, don’t tell me you’re going to use Unit-01! Ritsuko: There is no other way. Misato: But Rei can't even move! There’s no pilot. Ritsuko: They just arrived. Misato: Are you serious? Ritsuko: Shinji Ikari. Shinji: Yes? Ritsuko: You will pilot it. Shinji: Huh? Misato: But even Rei Ayanami took 7 months to synchronize with her EVA! This kid couldn’t possibly synchronize with it when he just got here! Ritsuko: All I ask is that he sit down in the cockpit, nothing more. Misato: But... Ritsuko: Repelling the angel is the top priority right now. For that reason, we have no choice but to get anyone who might even have a chance to be able to synchronize with the EVA. Ritsuko: You should know, Captain Katsuragi. Misato: That's right... Shinji: Father…why did you call me here? Gendo: It's just as you suspect. Shinji: So you want me to get in this thing and fight in it?! Gendo: That's right. Shinji: I don't want to! Why send for me after all this time? Gendo: Because we’ve no other options. Shinji: Why me? Gendo: Because anyone else couldn’t possibly do it. Shinji: It's impossible for me too! I've never seen or heard of this thing, and you want me to pilot it?! Gendo: You will learn to in due time. Shinji: That's... impossible…there's no way I can pilot something like this! Gendo: If you're going to pilot it, then do it. Or else you should just get out! Gendo: The bastard…it must’ve found us. Operator: Damage to armor plate no. 8 of layer 1. Ritsuko: Shinji, we don't have time! Operator: Fires in various places on block B. Misato: Get in the EVA. Shinji: No, I just got here... this is insane! Misato: Shinji, what did you come here for? You mustn't run away. Not from your father, and definitely not from yourself! Shinji: I know... but there's no way I can do it! Gendo: Fuyutsuki, wake Rei up. Fuyutsuki: Really? Gendo: She’s not dead. Fuyutsuki: Understood. Gendo: Rei. Rei: Yes? Gendo: The spare is no longer available. You must pilot it. Rei: Yes, sir. Ritsuko: Reconfigure Unit-01’s system to Rei’s configuration! Reactivate! Maya: Got it. Ending current tasks and reactivating… Shinji: (Of course. I'm not wanted here.) Misato: Ikari, look out! Shinji: Wow! Operator: The EVA moved? Impossible! Operator: Restraints on right arm torn off! Ritsuko: No way, that's impossible! The entry plug isn’t even inserted! It shouldn’t be able to move! Misato: It reacted without an interface connection! Maybe it was…protecting him? Misato: Okay. Shinji: ... don't run away, don't run away, don't run away, don't run away ... don't run away! Shinji: I'll do it... I'll pilot it! ___________________________________________________________________________ Mechanic: Cooling complete! Mechanic: Re-fixation of the right arm complete. Operator: All docking positions in the cage correct. Maya: Got it. Termination signal plug discharged. Operator: Understood. Inserting entry plug. Operator: Release the spinal conduction system and prepare for connection. Operator: Entry plug secured. Operator: Beginning primary connection. Maya: Begin injection of LCL into entry plug. Shinji: Ugh, what is this? Ritsuko: It's okay. Once your lungs are filled with LCL, your blood will be supplied with oxygen. You'll get used to it soon. Shinji: This is disgusting... Misato: Come on, be a big boy! Shinji: Uu... Mechanic: Main power supply being connected. Operator: All power being properly transmitted to all circuits. Ritsuko: Understood. ___________________________________________________________________________ Maya: Commencing second contact. Maya: A-10 nerve connection operational. Ritsuko: System interface language set to Japanese. All initial contacts established. Maya: Bidirectional circuits connecting. Synchronization rate at 41.3%. Ritsuko: Amazing! Maya: All harmonics values normal. Unit-01 fully operational. Ritsuko: This will work. Misato: Prepare to launch the EVA! Mechanic: Remove the first lock bolt! Operator: Begin removal of umbilical bridge. Mechanic: Remove the second lock bolt! Operator: Removing first and second restraints. Operator: Disengaging safety locks 1 through 15. Operator: Internal battery at 100%. Mechanic: External power supply operational. Maya: EVA Unit-01, to the launchpad. Maya: Clear. All green. Ritsuko: Ready to start. ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: Not like it matters, right? Gendo: Of course it does. If we don't defeat the angels, we have no future. Fuyutsuki: Ikari, is this really okay? Misato: Launch! ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: Shinji, please don't die. END
