Asuka intervenes and tries to help to help Hikari in getting Toji’s attention. Later on, Asuka takes her own advice and confesses her love to Kaji, Kaji is quick to condescend but respectfully denies her. Asuka is angry but is more so angry when she discovers who the next eva pilot will be. Toji is focused on other things, specifically his sister who is hospitalized after an angel attack on Tokyo-3 and the fact that he is chosen to be the new pilot for Eva 3. On his first test run Toji becomes attacked by a new parasitic, almost viral form of an angel which takes full control and assimilation of his eva unit. The remaining Eva pilots gather to fight it until Shinji is left standing. Toji is uncommunicative whilst trapped inside his Eva and Shinji refuses to fight back so not to harm his friend. By his father’s command, Shinji loses control of his Eva as a dummy system takes over. A distraught Shinji can do nothing but be witness to the murderous assault on Toji. Hikari spends the night alone, cooking for Toji and being proud of how much he would love the recipe she made for him.
