In a post-apocalyptic world where humanity is on the brink of extinction, survivors fight against angels, mysterious creatures that threaten to wipe out what remains of civilization. The story centers on Shinji Ikari, a young mecha pilot who awakens in a desolate world three years after being in a state of suspension. Reality has changed drastically; his former friends and allies are deeply scarred by the war and distrustful of him.
Shinji finds himself trapped in a chaotic emotional and physical state, weighed down by the pressure of expectations and his own internal struggle with the pain of past decisions. As he tries to understand his new environment, he faces the consequences of his actions and the complex ties that bound him to his mother and friends. Meanwhile, an ambitious organization, NERV, has reconfigured its mission, and new characters with hidden agendas emerge, challenging what remains of human morality.
In this intense journey, personal conflicts intertwine with decisions that could change the fate of humanity. The power of mechas and the philosophy of sacrifice intertwine in a whirlwind of action and reflection. Hope becomes a scarce currency in a world where the lines between good and evil are increasingly blurred, raising questions about identity, redemption, and the price of love.
