Then greetings came from the cast as well. First, Yuki called out while choking up with overflowing emotions, "I'm overwhelmed and at a loss for words, but... I must say this. I love all of you who love Eva!" This was met with great applause from the venue. Furthermore, Nagasawa showed a smile and said, "My beloved seniors have carried everything, and because I could watch their backs, I could enjoy even the most painful episode recordings. That's exactly like Ibuki Maya. I realized anew that Maya was able to do her best in this world thanks to these seniors being here. I truly want to continue walking through life together with Ibuki Maya, keeping this in my heart!"
Furthermore, Iwao also appeared deeply moved, messaging, "It's truly lonely that this is ending, but 'goodbye is a charm for meeting again,' right? I look forward to meeting all of you again, and I want to continue doing my best. Please everyone, stay well." Iwanaga also commented reflectively, "Near Third Impact occurred due to the parent-child quarrel between Ikari (Shinji) and Gendo, and we truly had a hard time. We barely survived from there, but because of that, I think we also grew and were able to become good adults."
Next, Yamaguchi also passionately expressed, "These three days have reminded me of almost all these 30 years, and I realized anew how happy I am. I'm truly full of gratitude for being able to meet Eva. And to all of you as well, thank you so much for spending 30 years of your lives with Eva. We also want to continue living more and more with Eva together with all of you!"
Then Mitsuishi said, "These three days have been the best, and I'm full of feelings that I received more happiness than three days' worth. Thank you to all the cast and staff members for 30 years, and to everyone who loved Evangelion. Misato Katsuragi always continues to live in my heart, and I'm sure the work continues to live in your hearts as well. Please continue to support us!" Miyamura also called out, "These three days were really incredibly fun. I felt so happy, so I'll pray in my futon every day that this happy feeling continues for all of you as well. May there be blessings for everyone—staff, cast, and audience alike!" In this atmosphere, when Hayashibara spoke to the venue saying, "I don't want this to end...," there was great applause. Hayashibara commented with carefully chosen words, savoring each one, "But I'll make it one sentence. 'Thank you to all Evangelion fans.' Thank you very much."
