This is all the stages in Story 02. Here, they don't just copy an episode of Evangelion. Instead they use this chance to introduce Asuka to this world's characters. Even though she's the Second Child, this world already has one with Kiana, but so far Asuka hasn't acknowledged herself as that yet anyways.

Also, this is a good time to point out some of my issues with the translation. They outright don't translate Asuka's "Anta baka!?" because the Honkai translators are all MASSIVE weebs and would sooner leave in popular phrases that other weebs would understand. They also love to stick in memes in their translations, as I've noticed by playing the game for a month prior to this events release. It makes their dialogue very cringy at times.

For the record, "Anta baka!?" would mean "Are you stupid!?" when posed as a question. It could also just be "You're an idiot." if spoken as a statement.

Another thing that irks me is that they say "Children" even when referring to an individual Child. I know WHY they did, in Japanese it's only written as "チルドレン" (literally pronounced Children). But it sounds incredibly awkward in spoken English, something most translators pick up on and will just use "Child" when referring to a single one and use "Children" only when referring to multiple of them. Granted there are some other translations that stick to just "Children", I believe the Netflix subtitles use it. But if you're an EVA fan, you know how poorly received those subs were.

Hm, I complained a lot here, but I'm still enjoying this event a lot. I can look past the shoddy translation and just enjoy the gameplay and the events going on themselves.
