SEELE, the secret international organization seeking to bring about a new state of human existence by means of their Human Complementation Project, has assembled their forces. The invasion of Central Dogma has commenced. In order to protect the Eva pilots from assassination, Asuka is launched in Unit 02. Major Misato, NERV's Operations Chief, desperately tries to persuade Shinji to join the fray, but his reluctance to do so leaves Asuka facing SEELE's nine production model Evas alone. Ikari Gendo, NERV's Commander, rushed to begin his program for Human Complementation before SEELE gains the upper hand. Old rivalries are resolved, and startling revelations are made as humanity's Final Judgment approaches, but this ultimate fate of mankind rests neither with SEELE, nor Gendo, but within the delicate mind of Shinji Ikari.
