I've been waiting for this!

It's a big advantage for us to know when to expect them. Now, on the day of the fight, we'll be ready to get in the ring.

Yo. You look pretty good. So how long are you gonna lie around sleeping here? I had the usual for lunch... Ramen tastes a lot better when you're cutting class. ...Make sure you invite me next time. Say something, will ya...? Why are you always like that? You're so stubborn. Put yourself in my shoes for a change... ...You think it's the other way around, huh? I guess you're right... I was too obsessed with power... Ever since I lost Miki, that's all I've cared about... I thought that if I was strong enough, I could protect anyone... But I was wrong... and now look at you...! What am I supposed to do if I lose you too!? Shinji... Don't leave me behind...!
