Line 60:
** Shinji/Unit 01 versus Zeruel, which has consumed Rei/Unit 00 and can now access Terminal Dogma without triggering the self-destruction of the base. [[Big Damn Hero|Shinji saves Misato and everyone else at HQ with a punch to Zeruel.]] Fights inside NERV HQ and out despite losing an arm. Fights until his EVA loses power, as it did in the original. And then, instead of the Eva going berserk and fighting on its own a la 400% synch rate, manages to start the Eva up again with the power of his own will, and controls it the whole time.
** Three very terse words: "Give Ayanami back!". Cue a beatdown of divine proportions and a "[[Take My Hand]]" scene that is as badass as it is touching.
** [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|He. Became.]] ''[[A God Am I|GOD]]''. I don't really think I need to extrapolate on this, but... words just can't do it justice. It's... His halo (Did I mention the halo of raw energy? Because there's a halo of raw energy.)turns into a ''tear in the fabric of reality''. This scene is epic in every sense of the word. It's really a testament to a series when we can look at the protagonist and go from "Well, at least the world isn't -technically- dead" to " ''I can see forever in his EYES!''".
** It has been neglected to mention that Shinji and 01, in Rebuild 2.0, basically [[Rocket Punch|Rocket Punches]] Zeruel (with an energy arm, no less). As the Rocket Punch-esque attack starts up, Zeruel almost looks like it's in shock that the puny imitation-angel, that it had nearly fatally wounded seconds ago, is now doing things only Angels could do, such as having the power to become either [[Mazinger Z|a God or a Devil]].
** IT has also been neglected to mention that, in Rebuild, Unit-01's [[Beehive Barrier|A.T. Field]] takes a full-powered blast from Zeruel's [[Wave Motion Gun|optic]] [[Eye Beams|blast]] ''[[Up to Eleven|at point-blank range]]'', and makes it look like a kiddie light show. Then, after the aforementioned [[Rocket Punch]], Shinji and Unit-01 let loose with an [[Eye Beam]] of their own, which ''[[Curb Stomp Battle|completely trashes Zeruel's A.T. Field]]'' instantly, and nearly slices [[The Juggernaut|said Angel]] in ''two''.
