Rahxephon

Most messed-up episode in the whole series, and somehow probably my favorite. However, the girl he kills accidentally is Asahina- not Megumi, as someone stated above. Megumi is Haruka's sister.

Also, it's not really that Haruka IS Mishima. . . Mishima just sort of adopted her form in an attempt to get Ayato to help her, by assuming the form of his old girlfriend, even though he doesn't remember her anymore by that point. So it's more like Mishima looks like (young) Haruka. . . not the other way around. There is a point in the series where they actually do show young Haruka, and she looks just like Mishima Reika except she has the purplish hair.

So, um, who exactly is Mishima, and what did she have to do with Quon?

Mishima Reika is really a being (goddess?) named Ixtli. She is also somewhat the "soul" of the RahXephon, and wants Ayato and Quon to help her "tune" the world. She can adopt different forms, which is why she adopts a form that looks like young Haruka to lure Ayato, and appears occasionally in Ayato's form to attract Quon.

Yeah, I know but it's easier to say they are the same person
