The End of Evangelion is an alternate version of the final two episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion. The first half of the movie is the alternate episode 25, which is called "Air". With all 17 Angels destroyed, NERV and Gendo Ikari now hold all the cards. Possessing Rei, Eva Unit 1, Lillith, and Adam, Gendo can now initiate his own version of Instrumentality (Third Impact). However, before Gendo can realize his dream, SEELE uses the Japanese Strategic Self-Defence Forces (JSSDF) to launch an assault on NERV itself.''''The second half of the movie is the alternate episode 26, which is called "My Purest Heart for You". Third Impact is initiated as Eva Unit 1 is put into use for the last time. As the pilot of Eva Unit 1, Shinji controls the fate of the world.moreless
The Japanese titles for episodes 25 and 26 are "Air" and "My Purest Heart for You" respectively. Episode 25's English title is "Love is destructive" while Episode 26's English title is "I need you".

The members of SEELE knew that opening Heaven's Chamber of Guf (a reference to the Kabbalah) would result in the annihilation and reincarnation of the human race, which goes back to the quote "the fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth".

When Hugo says that the "pilot's destrado is beginning to manifest", destrado is the desire and energy to destroy everything, including ones self; it's the opposite of libido, which is the desire and energy to create life.

Kouzou: There's nothing more that we can do to hold them off. Our defeat has become inevitable.
Gendo: Professor Fuyutsuki, take care of this, please.
Kouzou: Yes, Commander. Please, give my regards to Yui.

Shinji: I... I want to die... Just leave me here.
Misato: Stop talking like a stubborn, little brat! Like it or not, you're still alive! Get moving and do something! You can die later.

When Keel says "all is right with the world", he references the saying God's in His Heaven, All's Right With the World. It is the last line from the 1841 poem Pippa's Song, written by Robert Browning. More information.
