Perhaps due to the influence of the will of the greater universe, the battle against the Fourth Angel had not differed much from the anime.
Of course, since it was Shinji Ikari's first time piloting Evangelion Unit-01, he had naturally fallen flat on his face at the start.

"You...!"
Hearing that, Misato Katsuragi angrily reached out. But at that
