Shinji Ikari wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world after being in stasis for 14 years following the events of the Second Impact.

Wille launches an attack on NERV headquarters to stop the plans of SEELE and NERV to initiate the Third Impact.
Shinji pilots Evangelion Unit-01 to fight against the Evangelion Mark.06 and the Fourth Angel, an unprecedented Angel that has human elements.
Kaworu Nagisa appears to Shinji and sacrifices himself to prevent further catastrophe, reinforcing the emotional turmoil Shinji experiences.
The 14-year absence of Shinji led to deteriorating world conditions, widespread destruction, and the near collapse of human civilization.
