After being defeated yet again by an Angel, Asuka’s synch ratio continues to drop, affecting her ability to pilot Unit 02. Flashbacks reveal Asuka’s tragic childhood, which shaped her current abrasive personality. A new Angel, Arael, appears in Earth orbit, well outside the range of any Earth-based weaponry, including the Evas. Asuka is told that she will be Rei’s backup for the confrontation with the Angel. Infuriated, she launches herself and confronts the Angel on her own, but the Angel uses a telepathic attack which forces Asuka to relive traumatic events from her past, causing such mental distress that Asuka completely loses synchronization and Unit 02 shuts down. Gendo orders Rei to go to Terminal Dogma, retrieve the Lance of Longinus, and use it against the Angel. The Lance succeeds in penetrating the Angel’s AT field and destroys it, but it achieves escape velocity and enters a lunar orbit.
