Awesome / Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide

---

• Samael has crushed all Evas easily. However, when he attacks Unit-01, Unit-02 grabs the alien and Asuka pushes it away before stabbing it to death for trying to hurt Shinji.
• Asuka managing to eject the Emerald Tablet from Unit-02 by seer force of will. Add to this that the Tablet had previously demonstrated how powerful it was in the mental department, benching Rei for days on end just from brief mental contact, killing the Chinese pilot and taking over Unit-A through contact with her mind, and had been grinding down Asuka's sanity for some time beforehand.
  Asuka: I won't let you take Shinji from me! I won't let you hurt him!
  Emerald Tablet: Your pain is all I wish to take away.
  Asuka: You will take nothing from me! I will not yet you hurt Shinji! He belongs to me! He makes me happy, no matter what you say. You can never understand that!
  Emerald Tablet: You silly thing. Would you rather be miserable for the rest of your life?
  Asuka: (by now absolutely furious) Shut up! I don't care if it hurts. If loving means always suffering pain then I will live in pain for the rest of my life. I won't let myself cower from fear anymore. I won't let it define my existence. And if can only end in death then I will love him as strongly as I can until the day I die!
  Emerald Tablet: (gestures to Shinji's tombstone) This is the only logical outcome. You would put yourself through all that—
  Asuka: If I have to die today... (grabs the Tablet's avatar by the neck in one sudden move) I'm taking‎ you with me!
  Emerald Tablet: (too shocked to respond)
  Asuka: I hate you! (squeezes as hard as she possibly can) I won't you let you turn me into your doll! I won't let you inside my head! I won't let you break me! (squeezes even harder)
  Emerald Tablet: Even if you win, what will come next? More pain, more hurt? Yours and Shinji's You cannot escape that. It is an inviolate rule of your existence.
  Asuka: (unwavering in her determination) I don't care — I will kill you!
• When Rei has to fight the Emerald Tablet in the Kaworu clone body, she believes it to be a hopeless battle. Even so, she chooses to fight.
• Gendo committing a Heroic Sacrifice to save Rei.
• Misato is constantly on full Mama Bear mode. When she discovered that Ritsuko had hurt one of her kids again, she almost kills her before settling on breaking their friendship off for good.
