Shinji undergoes a perpetual internal battle against the deeply buried trauma caused by the loss of his mother and the emotional neglect he suffered at the hands of his father.
Years after being abandoned by his father, Shinji Ikari, Gendou's 14-year-old son, returns to Tokyo-3. NERV operates giant humanoid robots dubbed 'Evangelions' to combat the Angels with state-of-the-art advanced weaponry and protective barriers known as Absolute Terror Fields. The only hope for human salvation rests in the hands of NERV, a mysterious organization led by the cold Gendou Ikari. Mankind is unable to defend themselves against the Angels despite utilizing their most advanced munitions and military tactics. Fifteen years after a cataclysmic event known as the Second Impact, the world faces a new threat: monstrous celestial beings called 'Angels' invade Tokyo-3 one by one.
