Evangelion 30th anniversary fansub

Fansub for Evangelion 30th anniversary special (『エヴァンゲリオン放送30周年記念特別興行』)

Fansub author

Note the fansub is not by me. They were copied from another video that contained it, now removed.

How to use them

First, download the official video using yt-dlp (which does not have English subtitles at the time of writing this).

Below is to download it into a format supported by QuickTime, easily playable on Apple platforms without a third-party player:

yt-dlp -f "bv*[vcodec^=avc1]+ba[acodec^=mp4a]/b[ext=mp4]" \
  -o in.mp4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6ju8O7a89g

Second, download the .vtt file on this gist, and using ffmpeg, mux the subtitles in, then output the result into a new video file:

ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -i sub.vtt \
  -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 1 \
  -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s mov_text \
  -metadata:s:s:0 language=eng \

EVANGELION 30th ANNIVERSARY
SPECIAL COMMEMORATIVE SHOWING
00:23.230 --> 00:26.500
Welcome!
It's been a while, everyone!
00:26.630 --> 00:29.000
I'm Soryu Asuka Langley!
00:29.300 --> 00:33.660
Hi everyone, I'm fan-favorite
Shikinami Asuka Langley!
00:33.880 --> 00:35.050
Together, we make...
00:35.050 --> 00:38.320
Double Asuka Langley!
00:39.280 --> 00:42.180
It's the first time we've shown up together like this, right?
00:42.280 --> 00:44.680
It really is our first time, huh?
00:44.680 --> 00:49.020
And I haven't even been on stage in 29 years, so I'm kinda nervous!
00:49.200 --> 00:53.960
Well, considering we’re from different universes,
it’s crazy we’re even here together at all!
00:54.120 --> 00:57.140
Guess that’s the upside of a 30th anniversary event, hey?
00:57.340 --> 00:58.760
Y'know, I've been meaning to say.
00:58.860 --> 01:00.860
You've been through a lot, haven't you?
01:00.960 --> 01:03.020
Wandering around with nothing on,
01:03.280 --> 01:06.380
lounging around in that adult plugsuit,
01:06.660 --> 01:08.820
confessing your feelings from years back…
01:09.240 --> 01:12.600
If I were you, I’d have buried myself and never come back out!
01:12.600 --> 01:14.360
Y'know, it's funny you say that, Soryu.
01:14.400 --> 01:19.040
Letting Shinji get an eyeful of everything must've been embarrassing, too!
01:19.080 --> 01:21.430
And with what happened after...
If that was me,
01:21.430 --> 01:25.320
I’d have run off naked into the
Minus-Universe from sheer embarrassment.
01:25.440 --> 01:27.030
This reminds me, actually.
01:27.160 --> 01:32.260
Being taken over by an Angel and shoved
in Unit-13 must have really sucked, too!
01:32.420 --> 01:35.400
Oh, but it doesn't even compare to what you went through!
01:35.620 --> 01:40.820
You had a total mental breakdown,
and got eaten by MPEs in Unit-02!
01:42.430 --> 01:44.960
We're not getting anywhere...
01:45.130 --> 01:49.320
If I actually think about it,
I'm always playing the same part.
01:49.500 --> 01:52.600
Enough already!
It’s about time we got a happy ending.
01:52.760 --> 01:56.660
Now, we're talking.
You of all people deserve better.
01:56.730 --> 02:00.200
Right?!
I... I want to make myself happy!
02:00.330 --> 02:01.060
That's all!
02:01.460 --> 02:05.600
In my timeline, my ending might have made that idiot Shinji happy,
02:05.730 --> 02:07.160
but not me!
02:07.560 --> 02:10.380
I had to go to his stupid world,
and what'd I get for it?!
02:10.380 --> 02:13.060
I got strangled, that's what!
How disgusting!
02:13.230 --> 02:16.400
What part of that was
supposed to make me happy?!
02:16.800 --> 02:20.020
But I finally have a chance
to rewrite the world!
02:20.030 --> 02:24.660
Even if it's brief, I could finally
become the protagonist of the story!
02:25.240 --> 02:28.800
Even if I end up with Stupid Shinji,
there's gotta be other possibilities!
02:28.900 --> 02:32.800
Something easier to understand
and emotional and happy!
02:33.480 --> 02:35.400
That's all I want!
02:35.780 --> 02:40.640
The only thing I've ever wanted!
And I want it so bad!
02:41.430 --> 02:42.460
How wonderful!
02:42.760 --> 02:45.200
I shall grant that wish for you.
02:45.400 --> 02:47.020
Who asked you?! Get outta here!
02:47.160 --> 02:51.300
You couldn't even do that for Shinji.
Why would we want your help?
02:51.500 --> 02:54.200
All you ever do is spout cryptic stuff that sounds good,
02:54.440 --> 02:57.840
but it always ends up screwing
everything up so much more!
02:57.960 --> 02:59.660
You don't have to rub it in...
03:01.600 --> 03:03.430
Um... Asuka...
03:03.500 --> 03:05.180
Shut up, Stupid Shinji!
03:09.000 --> 03:10.700
Alright, what's the plan?
03:11.030 --> 03:15.840
In my world, there's someone else who can
change events besides him...
03:16.000 --> 03:17.680
I don't wanna rely on some rookie.
03:17.860 --> 03:21.260
I’ll claim my happiness with my own hands!
03:21.430 --> 03:23.500
That's what we like to hear.
03:23.860 --> 03:27.180
Okay, you'll need to employ
the Ikari Shinji Method for this one.
03:27.260 --> 03:28.140
What do you mean?
03:28.300 --> 03:29.960
You start by sleeping.
03:30.230 --> 03:32.980
Then they zoom the camera in,
and you open your eyes!
03:32.980 --> 03:36.000
Do that, and the plot will change for you.
03:36.180 --> 03:37.100
Oh, I get it!
03:37.260 --> 03:41.800
If you keep doing it, eventually
you'll find the timeline you want.
03:42.000 --> 03:42.640
Okay!
03:42.860 --> 03:45.620
Well, there's no harm in trying!
03:45.620 --> 03:48.600
ASUKA + ASUKA:
EPISODE 26 + EPISODE 1
03:49.000 --> 03:50.480
Okay, go to sleep!
03:50.730 --> 03:52.930
Goodnight, Asuka.
03:53.460 --> 03:56.500
Evangelion Unit-01, lift off!
04:13.160 --> 04:14.930
Focus, Shinji!
04:15.000 --> 04:17.290
Hurry! You need to get up!
04:27.300 --> 04:29.400
Aircraft spotted above headquarters!
04:29.530 --> 04:31.140
It's a Euro NERV unit!
04:31.260 --> 04:31.860
No way!
04:36.500 --> 04:38.730
Eva Unit-02 was actually ready...?
04:40.160 --> 04:44.200
The real hero always shows up just in time!
04:58.230 --> 05:01.330
Now that I'm here,
your problems are solved!
05:02.730 --> 05:04.200
You don't stand a chance!
05:25.530 --> 05:26.530
Cut!
05:26.600 --> 05:29.930
What are you, stupid?!
I'd never screw up that bad!
05:30.030 --> 05:32.800
There's too much of you in my plot!
05:32.930 --> 05:34.360
Retake! Retake!
05:34.600 --> 05:35.730
Understood.
05:35.970 --> 05:37.630
Goodnight, Asuka.
05:52.890 --> 05:55.170
Cut!
What the hell was that?!
05:55.410 --> 05:57.430
Why'd you turn me into a giant?!
05:57.530 --> 05:59.450
Well, the more powerful
you are, the better...
05:59.530 --> 06:01.150
That's not what I'm looking for!
06:01.260 --> 06:02.750
Retake! Retake!
06:02.830 --> 06:05.700
Understood.
Goodnight, Asuka.
06:14.460 --> 06:16.930
You must calm your mind.
06:17.660 --> 06:20.660
It is imperative to winning any battle.
06:21.410 --> 06:24.400
In 31 moves from now, you will lose.
06:26.970 --> 06:28.970
Cut! Cut!
06:29.000 --> 06:31.000
Cut!
What's going on?!
06:31.010 --> 06:33.010
Why would I be playing shogi?!
06:33.140 --> 06:35.140
You always loved competition...
06:35.140 --> 06:38.160
Winning by cheating means nothing.
Next! Next!
06:38.200 --> 06:39.600
Make it a romance this time!
06:39.860 --> 06:42.660
Understood.
Goodnight, Asuka.
06:57.360 --> 06:59.620
Wow, what a beautiful view!
07:00.100 --> 07:04.760
They call this the
Machu Pichu of New Tokyo-3.
07:04.930 --> 07:08.640
I can't wait to see all the different worlds out there with you, Asuka.
07:08.930 --> 07:09.740
Shinji...
07:10.700 --> 07:12.700
Eep! Don't make me blush!
07:14.130 --> 07:15.440
I'm so happy...
07:16.220 --> 07:16.960
Shinji?
07:17.220 --> 07:19.660
Stop! Cut!
Is he okay?!
07:19.960 --> 07:21.660
Yeah. Let's resume...
07:23.230 --> 07:25.560
I... thought I was gonna die...
07:25.700 --> 07:26.660
Well, that's good.
07:26.700 --> 07:28.230
Wanna keep going?
07:28.340 --> 07:30.060
Nope! Too embarrassing!
07:30.150 --> 07:31.160
Roll the next one!
07:31.200 --> 07:33.520
Alright.
Goodnight, Asuka.
07:41.700 --> 07:43.900
Cut. Too out there.
Retake.
07:50.760 --> 07:51.460
Pervert!
07:51.970 --> 07:54.500
Cut!
Why am I imitating the First from your world?
07:54.600 --> 07:55.760
Retake!
07:58.560 --> 08:00.560
Cut!
What was that supposed to be?
08:00.600 --> 08:02.860
Remember the whole
"Look at me! Don't leave me alone!" thing?
08:03.000 --> 08:05.000
Sure, but how's that supposed to help?
08:05.100 --> 08:07.100
I want someone besides me around!
08:07.290 --> 08:09.800
Makes sense.
Goodnight, Asuka.
08:13.130 --> 08:14.900
Cut! Cut!
08:14.930 --> 08:16.830
Are you just trying to embarrass me?!
08:16.920 --> 08:19.530
I thought you wanted to grow up quickly, too?
08:20.000 --> 08:21.080
That is not what I meant!
08:21.460 --> 08:24.000
Just find me a loop that's happy already!
08:24.330 --> 08:26.900
Alright, I got it.
Goodnight, Asuka.
08:27.880 --> 08:31.040
How wonderful, Asuka-chan!
You've done so well!
08:31.300 --> 08:34.840
You're a genius.
Mama is very proud of you.
08:35.100 --> 08:36.520
What a good girl you are.
08:36.880 --> 08:39.560
You can do whatever you like.
08:39.860 --> 08:44.280
Don't forget, sweetie,
Mama is always watching over you.
08:44.360 --> 08:45.260
Cut!
08:45.430 --> 08:47.580
Nope, that won't work.
08:47.580 --> 08:51.040
I just felt uncomfortable. Like I wasn't myself.
08:51.660 --> 08:52.860
Definitely not that one.
08:53.130 --> 08:55.520
Hm... You're right.
08:55.930 --> 08:57.500
Goodnight, Asuka.
09:37.460 --> 09:38.700
Guess who?
09:38.990 --> 09:41.450
A gorgeous girl with an 87cm bust.
09:42.720 --> 09:43.780
Bingo!
09:43.830 --> 09:44.700
Cut.
09:45.260 --> 09:50.360
It's not a bad premise, but I want
to be happy in my own world.
09:50.360 --> 09:52.260
A world without the Eva.
09:55.160 --> 10:00.690
The Line 2 express train is about to arrive.
10:00.690 --> 10:04.400
Please stand behind the yellow safety line.
10:05.780 --> 10:08.870
The Line 2 train departs at 14:20.
10:08.870 --> 10:12.340
Bound for Second City.
10:13.120 --> 10:17.780
Passengers without authorization may not board.
10:17.780 --> 10:25.560
We repeat: the Line 2 train departs at 14:20 bound for Second City.
10:25.560 --> 10:29.690
Passengers without authorization may not board.
10:52.960 --> 10:55.400
Let's go, Asuka.
11:09.960 --> 11:11.330
Thanks, Shinji.
11:11.700 --> 11:13.270
But... it's okay now.
11:14.030 --> 11:18.250
It's such a calm and beautiful world...
but it's not somewhere I'm supposed to be.
11:19.010 --> 11:20.690
I have a place to protect.
11:21.530 --> 11:24.870
I don't want to depend on fantasy anymore.
11:26.030 --> 11:29.030
I'll find a way to make
my own happiness in the real world.
11:29.830 --> 11:33.290
That’s the way that’s truly me.
I get it now.
11:33.290 --> 11:36.630
EPISODE 27:
THE ONLY NEAT THING TO DO
11:43.360 --> 11:45.140
Well? Takes you back, doesn't it?
11:45.520 --> 11:47.520
Yeah... It's not half bad.
11:48.000 --> 11:49.620
They've been practicing, y'know.
11:49.700 --> 11:51.180
Feels like a big moment...
11:56.660 --> 11:59.700
I'm a little nervous about
singing in front of so many people...
12:02.300 --> 12:03.560
Don't butt in!
12:06.730 --> 12:08.780
I'm not depending on you anymore, either.
12:09.100 --> 12:10.400
I'm my own person!
12:21.430 --> 12:24.850
As long there's still angels to fight,
I'll keep piloting my Eva.
12:25.230 --> 12:29.210
I'll find my happiness in the future
that comes after I protect everyone.
12:29.430 --> 12:30.410
I know it!
12:30.810 --> 12:33.950
That's why I'm the pilot of Evangelion Unit-02.
12:33.950 --> 12:36.250
Soryu Asuka Langley!
12:36.290 --> 12:38.520
"WITH DEEP GRATITUDE,
12:38.520 --> 12:45.100
THANK YOU ALL FOR THESE LAST 30 YEARS."
