Story[]

A heavy chains on life. Soshi Watamori has lived his life by turning his eyes away from it. For redemption and rebirth, he unleashes the secrets of the world.[4]

Fifteen years ago, mysterious "invaders" appeared in various parts of the world. Officially, it is announced that a huge meteorite fell on a village in Japan, creating a huge crater, from which "invaders from outer space, Angels" appeared.

In order to fight the Angels, Saneyuki Kano, the Supreme Commander of the special agency "Mensch," develops four Evangelions with his subordinate Etsuko Sakurai. Saneyuki puts his son Toma on board the Evangelion as its pilot.

In addition, Hinata, Eri, Nawo, and other boys and girls are secretly assigned as pilots under the command of the field commander, Iori, and they are given bracelets as proof of their duties.

One morning. One morning, Hinata, Eri, and Nawo are talking in a junior high school classroom when Toma appears. Toma says, "Everything we do is based on a lie," removes his bracelet, and disappears from the world. The people are each upset because they do not know whether Touma is alive or dead. However, Saneyuki, without revealing his emotions, instructs Etsuko on how to deal with the situation.

Iori, who lost her parents and hometown in a huge meteorite accident 15 years ago when she was a child, believes that the Angels caused the tragedy and joined the Mensch to defeat them. She now stands on the front lines as a commander. The Angels attack one after another, but the pilots have different feelings, and soon their feelings begin to diverge. Iori is also troubled by her own doubts about how to deal with the pilots.

Iori's college friend and former lover, Soshi, appears before her. Soshi is concerned for Iori and tells her that he has become a temporary teacher at a school for Evangelion pilots.

The people's hearts and minds begin to move dramatically through the unexpected events that occurred during the third attack of the apostles. The truth is revealed one after another, and the story heads toward a surprising conclusion. [5] [6]
