Neon Genesis Evangelion The End Of Evangelion -1997-

Asuka’s battle is the film’s action centerpiece. Awakening from her catatonia, she realizes her mother’s soul has always been inside Unit-02. For one glorious, furious moment, she achieves total synchronization. She dismantles the MP Evas, spinning like a Valkyrie. But then the Evas regenerate. They impale Unit-02 with a replica of the Spear of Longinus. As the cable is cut, Asuka looks up to see the MP Evas in a crucifixion formation. They descend with their mass-production lances.

The film explores the "Human Instrumentality Project," where souls merge to eliminate loneliness and pain. Shinji eventually rejects this state, choosing to return to a world where individuals can be hurt by others, but can also find true connection.
