Once More with Feeling/Awesome


 * Shinji calling his father out twice. The first of them when his father planned goading him into piloting Unit-01 for -what Gendo believed- first time. And the second when Shinji walked into his office and communicated him what he was piloting ON HIS TERMS, and he also demanded a prize for risking his neck (all the while trying not showing he was still frightened of his father).
 * Asuka and Shinji fighting Gaghiel in Unit-02. They are losing because Shinji can not focusing properly, when he Asuka and Unit-02 reached perfect synchronization right then.
 * The race of the Three Children in the last published chapter.
