The hot tempered Asuka had just arrived to Japan in Episode 8: Asuka Strikes!. But after the new Unit-02 had been installed into NERV headquarters, a new Angel appears. This is a new Angel designed by Sega which did not appear in the TV series. For ease of reference, I will call it the 7.5th Angel (which it is). Unit-01 is immediately sortied and it enters combat with the Angel. However, it is much more powerful than NERV anticipated and Shinji gets beaten up pretty badly by it. So bad that the trauma causes Shinji to lose his memory.
Misato and Ritsuko decide that the best way for Shinji to regain his memory is for him to get into Unit-01's cockpit and enter "virtual" combat against Asuka in Unit-02. This is where you, playing as Shinji Ikari, take control.
