- 1 Death and Rebirth
-
Originally a collection of clips from the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series, Death was created as a precursor to the re-worked ending of the series. Rebirth was intended as that reworked ending but after production overruns became only the first half of the first episode of The End of Evangelion, with some minor differences. Over time, two newer director`s cuts of Death were produced, each including new footage not seen in the series - these were called Death (True) and finally Death (True)^2. Note that despite containing clips from the series, Death (True)^2 & Rebirth should be seen after the series itself to be fully understood.
Air Date: 1997-03-15

- 3 Revival of Evangelion
-
Revival is the "final vision" of Evangelion's theatrical productions, as intended by series creator Anno Hideaki. It combines parts of the final two movies, Evangelion: Death and Rebirth and The End of Evangelion, into a single feature presentation. Revival is how the Evangelion films were intended to be released if GAINAX had not encountered the financial and scheduling issues that marred the latter stages of Eva's production. It is a "complete" ending, or in the words of Anno: "this is the ending you were asking for".

- 5 He Was Aware That He Was Still a Child (Director's Cut)

Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki is kidnapped and interrogated by SEELE, who are outraged that in its last battle Unit 01 absorbed the S² engine from an Angel into its body, so that it no longer requires an external power source and can now function indefinitely. Meanwhile, Kaji goes AWOL to climatically try to find out the truth about NERV. As Fuyutsuki is interrogated by SEELE, he recounts in flashbacks how he first met Gendo, Yui, the dark events surrounding Second Impact, and how NERV and the Evangelion project were born. Flashbacks also reveal the history of Misato, Ritsuko, and Rei.

- 6 Don't Be (Director's Cut)
-
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.

As Asuka's depression has grown to the point that she is reduced to a catatonic state, SEELE sends a replacement pilot for Unit 02 to NERV: Kaworu Nagisa. At first Shinji and Kaworu bond and quickly become friends; however, it is soon revealed that Kaworu is in fact the final Angel and has been sent to merge with Adam in Terminal Dogma at the bottom level of NERV headquarters. Kaworu commandeers Unit 02, and Shinji engages it with Unit 01 in a fierce fight while in free-fall as they descend to Terminal Dogma. Kaworu reaches the Angel in Terminal Dogma as Shinji defeats Unit 02, but realizes that the Angel is not Adam but Lilith. He then implores Shinji to kill him to prevent humanity from being destroyed. Shinji hesitates, but finally kills Kaworu. Later, traumatized by the day's events, Shinji tries to talk to Misato, but she is too distracted by her own struggles to be of comfort to him.
