The battle continues at NERV HQ.Farewell.List of highlights:- Asuka destroys a few more mass-produced Evas as the battery to Unit 02 runs down.- Misato kills herself and a few enemy soldiers with a grenade.- Shinji arrives at Unit 01's chamber but he can't climb into the Eva because of sludge/mud blocking his way. Shinji begs Unit 01 (addressing it as his mother) to move, and miraculously Unit 01 swings its arm out to provide a path for Shinji, and in the process the Eva kills a couple of enemy soldiers.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As with most if not all of the previous chapters, I couldn't find any major deviations from the End of Evangelion movie. There are some details that I don't remember seeing, such as Misato killing herself with a grenade and Shinji getting Unit 01 to move by calling out to his mother, but that's probably because I don't remember much from EoE. A couple of commenters mentioned that the manga will probably have the same ending as EoE, which could very well be the case, but I'm hoping for something different. Otherwise, what would be the point of dragging this manga out more than a decade after the film was released just so that the manga can come to the exact same conclusion? (other than people trying to milk the series for all its worth lol)
