So, Asuka starts to fight back against JSSDF forces. Like in EoE, she proclaims she doesn't want to die and realizes that her mother has always been protecting her as Unit 02. In EoE there was some, to put it mildly, shocking imagery in this sequence that wasn't carried over. Admittedly this was a change I did not care for. I wonder if hearing Asuka is okay and fighting will knock Shinji out of his funk.
