By the mean of Death Sea Scroll, there are 17 of angels. When the 3rd angel comes, a young boy board on EVA-01 by the mind of his father; and the story begins.....

Second Impact

It is the explanation to the public.

In the last year of the 20th century, massive meteorite from outer space fell in the Antartic Continent. It made the Polar Ice Cap melt very quickly and the Earth axis changed, therefore, the water level rise and destroyed all the coastal cities. After that, abnormal weather, economic collapse, racial conflicts and civil war occurred. Half of the human in the world were killed (150 million).

The truth of the Second Impact

In the last year of the 20th century, the United Nations(UN) research team in the Antartic found the first humanoid creature called "Angel" in the Antartic. When the team tried to atrophy the 1st angel, Adam, back to an embryo, by the unknown reason, it exploded, and caused the Antartic Polar Ice Cap to melt.

Third Impact

EVA-Series form a strange formation around it and the longinus spear appears in front of EVA-01. Soon it becomes clear - the Evangelions are forming a tree of life - the Third Impact finally began. A cataclysmic explosion engulfs Japan and parts of Korea.
