EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from Tiga
Chapter 1: I can’t win at all. I don’t understand that kind of thing.
Chapter 1: I can’t win at all. I don’t understand that kind of thing.
Standing alone on the school rooftop, Shinji Ikari looked into the distance.
Tokyo-3...seems to be the name of this tenacious city.
Even though the oceans of this world have been polluted into a blood-red color, the blue sky can still blow with a gentle breeze.
Even though we have lost more than half of our compatriots, the human race still stubbornly survives in this cruel world.
However, no matter how gentle the wind is, it cannot soothe the sadness in Shinji Ikari's heart at this moment, which is the pain of parting with his friends.
—There's no reason to face an enemy you can't defeat, Captain Ikari! Do you understand? This isn't an enemy you should face alone!
The captain's words at the time of parting still echoed in Shinji Ikari's ears.
Not long ago, Shinji Ikari was in another world, fighting to protect the world as a member of the GUTS Victory Team... and even as the human form of Ultraman Tiga.
Of course, the still immature Shinji Ikari at that time was also confused and annoyed, cursing why he was the one who had to fight.
Shinji Ikari, who had closed his heart several times...was able to pick himself up and grow again and again under the meticulous care and guidance of his teammates in the Victory Team.
Finally... he grew up to the point where he could say that line with a smile that would make Shinji Ikari proud.
——There’s no way to win. I don’t understand that kind of thing.
Then he gambled everything he had and transformed into Ultraman Tiga for the last time to face the ancient evil god known as the Ruler of Darkness.
Gatanjea - that was a despair and terror that had never been experienced before. Even Ultraman Tiga was defeated at one point and sank to the dark seabed.
Even so, Shinji Ikari found that he was no longer running away or depressed. Even at the very end of his life, he would roar and clench his fists.
With the help of his companions, Shinji Ikari stood up again and pierced Gatanjea's body with his fist shining with the light of human hope.
As the black fog that swallowed the lights of human civilization was dispelled by the light, Shinji Ikari knew... that he had successfully protected everyone in the very end.
Contentedly closing his eyes, he frankly welcomed a peaceful death—
Unexpectedly, these eyes will open again...
And then we came here, a world on the verge of death where humans have died out, the sea has become corrupted, and the world is on the verge of death.
Perhaps, this world is the world that Shinji Ikari should originally belong to, but the memories on the other side are too unforgettable, causing Shinji Ikari to almost forget the existence of this world.
Or perhaps it was because on that side, there were his Victory Team comrades, with bonds closer than blood relatives, while in this world, he had nothing but a father who was a stranger to him...
"Really? Why are you complaining about yourself again? If the captain sees you, you'll definitely get scolded..."
Looking at the blue sky, Shinji Ikari murmured to himself.
"Don't worry, Captain. I'm no longer that fourteen-year-old kid who knew nothing but to curl up in a corner and give up on myself... I will never forget everything you taught me."
Never give up your love for life, human beings themselves are the greatest light - this is the Ultra Spirit they taught Shinji Ikari.
Facing the same blue sky, Shinji Ikari said a brief goodbye to his old friends and prepared to face a new life.
"Ikari-san."
A touch of blue, more magnificent than the clear sky, appeared silently behind Shinji Ikari.
Flawless blue hair, lovely fair skin, and bright red eyes that shone with a strange luster, like gemstones, without any emotion.
The girl in the navy blue sailor school uniform should have been a stunning beauty, but now most of her face was wrapped in bandages, covering up her beauty.
Even her arms have to be fixed to her chest with plaster. Although it is such a miserable condition, unexpectedly, because of this fragile and slender figure, she has a unique charm.
"Ayanami...Rei...right?"
Shinji Ikari recognized this girl; he'd been introduced to her before. She was a colleague of his, working at an organization called NERV. They were clearly fighting the same monsters as the Victory Team—ah...or rather, the Angels here. They were also fighting the Angels, protecting humanity and the world.
However, Shinji Ikari's first impression was a natural distrust of NERV... because the atmosphere here was so different from that of the GUTS Victory Team.
"Ah."
Rei Ayanami nodded slightly, her expression cold and without any gossip.
"There's a gathering order. Let me convey it and take you there."
"What happened? Could it be that the apostles are attacking again?"
"No, there was no news of an apostle attack. It was just routine training."
"understood."
Shinji Ikari had no intention of refusing. Although he had not yet fully understood the current situation, he seemed to be a pilot of the NERV organization.
To be honest, when he was in the Victory Team, he was not only able to transform into Tiga. In many cases, Shinji Ikari had to drive the Hiyan No. 1 himself to deal with the monsters. It is not an exaggeration to call him an ace pilot.
So when he heard that he was going to drive something called "EVA" to fight the Angels, Shinji Ikari did not resist or feel puzzled.
However, when he saw that the EVA was not a new fighter or main battle tank, but a huge humanoid robot, Shinji Ikari was a little confused.
After all, let alone opening this kind of thing, I have never seen it in my previous world, so I have no idea if I can open it.
"By the way, Ikari-san."
Rei Ayanami's voice interrupted Shinji Ikari's thoughts.
"Ok?"
This is really rare. As far as I can remember, this seems to be the first time that this taciturn girl has taken the initiative to speak to me except for the mission.
"You know that giant from three weeks ago? The Giant of Light?"
Upon hearing this, Shinji Ikari's brows twitched slightly, but soon this trace of unnaturalness was suppressed and he answered calmly.
"What giant are you referring to, the apostle?"
He felt Rei Ayanami's gaze - although they were walking side by side, Shinji Ikari could clearly feel that Rei Ayanami was observing his expression.
"It was the giant that suddenly appeared when the Fourth Apostle attacked. Conceived as a ball of light, it protected the people of Donghai City who hadn't yet evacuated under the threat of the Fourth Apostle. After defeating the Apostle, it transformed into a giant of light, dispersing the light and disappearing."
Rei Ayanami's voice paused for a moment. Was she observing whether there was anything unusual in her expression?
"At that time, I remember you were in the city of Donghai. Didn't you see it?"
"Ah, that. I mistook him for another apostle and was so busy running for my life that I didn't pay much attention. It turns out the apostle was defeated by that giant of light. I thought it must have been the N2 mine that made such a loud noise that killed the apostle."
Not only his expression, but even his breathing rhythm, heart rate, and blood pressure showed no abnormalities. This kind of training was what he had gone through when he had risen from an ordinary student to an elite operator of the Victory Team.
Not to mention Rei Ayanami observing with the naked eye, even using NERV's lie detector would not be able to determine whether what Shinji Ikari said was true or false.
"Really? Never mind if I don't know."
Rei Ayanami's sight disappeared, and Shinji Ikari knew that he had fooled her this time.
He secretly felt the reassuring touch on his chest.
The divine light stick [Spark Prism], which had turned into an inconspicuous stone, was lying quietly in the pocket lining his chest.
The new author seems to be challenging himself to write EVA on Qidian.
