Content Warnings for the End of Evangelion

Most of above but more intense. Specific scenarios to call out:

A character masturbating over the unconscious body of a girl
An older man grabbing a young woman’s breast and then his hand entering her body, evocative of sexual abuse
Flashing images
Gore and violence is overall turned up a little from the show, although there are also intense scenes in the show
