Everyone felt that something defied all reason when they saw Unit-01 stand up again despite having lost power.
Ibuki looked back and forth between Unit-01 and her laptop. "It can still move, even though its operating time has already run out."
Misato watched Unit-01 and asked hesitantly, "Has it gone berserk?"

Before the Power Angel could react, the tremendous repulsive force of Unit-01's field cannons hurled it backward. Its body nearly fell apart!
Unit-01 threw back its head and roared, its red eyes flashing as they fired
