* SecretlyDying: A very immediate version. After being shot by the JSSDF, Misato can very obviously tell that her wound is fatal and that she is bleeding out fast, but she tries to put a brave face and downplay it in front of Shinji, claiming that "it's not as bad as it looks" and forces herself to her feet despite the fact that she can barely stand. As soon as she has pushed Shinji into the elevator and send him on his way, she immediately collapses from the blood loss and start gasping out her last regrets between ragged breaths. Shinji for his part, quickly figures out from the fact that he has Misato's blood all over him that she isn't going to make and feels even worse as a result.

* NoEnding: In the original cut of ''Death and Rebirth'', the movie ended with Shinji screaming, with the plot unresolved. ''The End of Evangelion'' wouldn't arrive for another four months to finish things off.

* DudeShesLikeInAComa: Shinji Near the start of the film, Shinji, whose depression has relapsed to a suicidal extent due to the trauma of having to kill Kaworu, visits Asuka in the hospital and tries to wake her up from the coma that she's been in since [[Recap/NeonGenesisEvangelionEpisode24TheFinalMessenger episode 24]]. Instead, he accidentally exposes her breasts and instinctively masturbates over Asuka's comatose body in one of to the most infamous examples of sight, representing how far he's fallen and how he can only act on impulse now. Shinji himself mutters that he's "the lowest" ("so fucked up" in the trope ''by far''.first English dub) after seeing the aftermath of what he just did.

** Shinji gains resolve to fight after Misato's sacrifice, even though he's upset upon learning that she died. Then he finds that EVA-01 is trapped in bakelite and he is unable to do anything. He eventually ''does'' get out of there and arrives to the battlefield... Only to see that Asuka and EVA-02 have just been eviscerated.

* MasturbationMeansSexualFrustration: The episode opens with Shinji in a suicidal state after the events of the previous few episodes. When he tries to wake Asuka up from her coma in the hospital, he accidentally exposes her breasts. Torn between his attraction to her and his stress from fighting the angels, he [[DudeShesLikeInAComa instinctively masturbates to the sight]], complete with a close-up of his semen-covered palm. Afterwards, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he immediately feels as revolted as the audience is]]. What Shinji then says in the ADV dub sums up his actions best.
