Episode 6 started off where 5 left you hanging. It reshowed the last minute or so where unit 01 almost gets a hole blasted through it, and is recovered to base. Every attempt to get near the angel results in the object geing blown to pieces. The angel has a shielded drill headed straight through the ground towards NERV hq. Misato has a plan though. She gets a high power particle beam and plans to snipe the angel from out of it's firing range. Shinji is trying to become more social with Rei, but almost to no avail. During the battle, Shinji is entrusted with the power from all over Japan, and is ready to fire. ust as Shinji fires though, the angel fires. Both beams try to push each other away, but still go through. Shinji is rocked by the explosion, but Rei protects him. The angel fires again, and starts to melt Rei's shield. Shinji fires one last beam that penetrates the angel's core and destroys it. This episode was my favorite one so far. I thought it was just down-right awesome.
