Misato Katsuragi takes a Shower and says how great it is to have a shower after a long day.

After getting out, she says that there's nothing like a cold beer after a hot shower.

Episode 10

Shinji Ikari, Asuka Langley Soryu and Misato Katsuragi go to an Onsen. While Shinji is bathing on the males side of the Hot Spring with Pen-Pen, the conversation on the girls side can be heard. Hilarity ensues when Asuka yells at Shinji to pass over the soap which stands up and literally throws over the fence, prompting Asuka to complain about where he just hit her. The dazzled look of pet penguin Pen-Pen hints that her "Dirty Talking" gives Shinji some sort of "Thermal Expansion" below his waist. On the girls side, Asuka sees a scar on Misato's stomach.

Censorship

In the TV version of this scene, the tank contains less Rei Ayanami clones and the nipples on their breasts are much less clear, to the point of being impossible to see in most shots of the clones. There is also less screentime given to the clones and there is less focus on the clones than in the Director's Cut version of the episode.

Episode 24

Asuka Langley Soryu attempts to commit Suicide in a rusty old Clawfoot Bathtub that is in a destroyed house. As she lays in the Blood Bath, her clothes are seen neatly folded and a NERV agent walks in finding her and interrupts her suicide by bringing her back to the headquarters. Due to her mental state at the time, she apparently didn't care about being seen naked by the agent as she showed no reaction.

Later on, after Shinji Ikari meets Kaworu Nagisa, they bathe together in a Public Bath at NERV.
