* While facing Israfel, Shinji has no idea what to do, so he asks himself what the Doctor would do. This results in Shinji running away... only to come running back at ''over Mach 1.2'', tackling one half of Israfel through a stadium. ''Then a skyscraper''. '''Then hitting it with his own Eva's detached arm so hard it bounces off the street and into a mall!'''
** Israfel was defeated ''conventionally.'' No Dance competition, no synchronicity exercises, no Berserker State, just Shinji letting himself cut loose in the Eva and Asuka doing the same.
** It's a little more complicated than that. Throughout the story, the Doctor's been encouraging the pilots not only to think for themselves, but to think strategically rather than just rushing into things. Shinji's victory comes about as a result of him planning ahead and breaking a water line to flood a street before the battle even starts. He later lures his half of Israfel into the resulting mess and [[CallBack electrocutes it]] as a distraction at a key moment. Shinji doesn't just win by cutting loose. He wins with ''science.''

** He also figures out that Leliel!Shinji isn't really him, pointing out that, despite Leliel!Shinji's claims that he was told but repressed the information, he didn't know about Asuka's mother or about Rose, and he wouldn't just repress that, nor could he just pick up on it subconsciously. And that it keeps going from telling him he sucks to telling him he should [[AGodAmI be God]] (I am not making that last one up).

* Rei gets one by ''weaponizing'' the Reiquarium against a Weeping Angel. Recall that part of what makes it creepy is the unblinking stares of the Rei Clones? What's the one way to freeze an Angel in place? And she figured this plan out in ''seconds''.
