On May 25, a careful Twitter user discovered that the opening credits of the official Olympic documentary "Nagano Tapes | Five Rings Film" about the history of hockey in the Czech Republic actually used the classic theme song "Cruel Angel Tactics" from the famous Japanese animation "Neon Genesis Evangelion (EVA)".

Documentary opening (uncut):

The documentary mainly tells the exciting story of how hockey became the national representative sport of the Czech Republic during the turbulent period of 1948, and finally won the gold medal at the first Winter Olympics with NHL professional players in 1998. According to official information, the film was first released in 2018, and it has been unearthed again today because of this opening.

One netizen commented on the tweet: "Those young people who used to make embarrassing animated music videos (AMVs) are now responsible for real film editing, and they are doing a great job."

Another quipped: "Get into the hockey rink, Shinji."

The film is narrated by actor Giancarlo Esposito, who has appeared in "Breaking Bad" and the recent hit "The Mandalorian", and is also the actor who plays the main villain in the "Far Cry 6" trailer.
