It's not a woman, it's a Robotic Insectoid Slinky I tell you!
A ROBOTIC INSECTOID SLINKY!!!!!

Kaworu/Asuka - give it a chance!

So we've now gone and decided let the bugaboo of JA derail this thread? :x Good God, I cannot stand that episode!

The second movie will have JA2 in it, from Evangelions 2, and the pilot (to bring this back on topic) will be Asuka. Her first appearance will be as the test pilot for it, but she will be cooked by the radiation. Shinji will think he killed her even though it was the radiation, because he couldn't save her, and the new pilot sent from Germany at the end of movie 1 (Kaworu) will be there to comfort Shinji. Movie 3 will be Kaworu and Shinji getting it on, and Movie ? will be the ressurection of the demon hellbeast (Asuka) and her destroying the world.

And everybody dies, and it's Asuka's fault.

So Asuka is in movie 2 and ?.

Normally a comment like this would annoy the Be-Jesus out of me, but seeing as how the EVA's all have female souls ( Rei, Yui, and Kyoko, respectively), I 'm inclined to agree.

Though Adam's female

Its execution wasn't all it should have been, but it served a purpose if you remember that there's more to it than chasing down a renegade robot.

Yes, of course: the Misato/Shinji relationship developing, the "questions/suspensions" of intent surrounding NERV/SEELE, etc. But the episode also shows that the purpose of Eva itself was still quite murky at that point, a la the whole "Aluka" thing being eventually left on the drawing board.

Maybe we'll get some Gendo/Shinji in Rebuild, just to screw with everybody.

....*ahem* Back on topic? ^_^;
Like I said, Asuka brief cameo at least. Personally, for some odd reason I envison it similar to the short snippit we get at the end of DEATH after the credits roll: The Shinji that's not our Shinji leaving the auditorium. Basically, something along the lines of Asuka walking....somewhere, like to the boats with Kaji-san.

Just the one? :P

I thought that Film one might end with Gendo's mysterious phone call about the sample of mystery (assuming Asuka turns up in the same way, not say left on the doorstep) and 2 opens on the trip to the boat. But it'll probably end with the lights coming back up all over the country.

Or after the credits there is a silhouette of a certain girl in a dress on the deck of a ship.

What's this about Kaworu/Shinji incest?

Now, try on some Kaworu/Misato, and then you're talking. Speaking of which, I don't think I've ever seen that one. Thank gawd. Misato really doesn't need to take her Daddy issues THERE.

Well there's the jetalone XX from the evangelion@school manga.

What's this about Kaworu/Shinji incest?


Yeah although I don't think there's any real proof of Kaworu being a Dr. Katsuragi clone I think theres even less of him being a gendo clone. So no that wouldnt be incest unless there's something about Shinji we don't know :o

Good, I don't think so either. KYAH KYAH KYAH.

Carry on with whatever the hell this thread was supposed to be about. It feels without purpose at this point.

This is odd, putting Asuka on the poster like that. The big EVANGELION/line-through font looks weird too.

Something interesting to consider, maybe Asuka and Kaworu will both show up at the end as the new pilots from Germany?

There's also a sample Rei-Kaworu image in that lot. I guess Asuka and Kaworu just weren't included in the trailer.

Maybe Asuka and Kaworu do show up as test pilots from Germany earlier on in the series, as part of mutual compatibility tests with the other Evas? Or maybe Kaworu is going to turn up from the United States instead? After all, the logical choice for Kaworu to use would be Sangoki(Hijacked and mutated by that creep Bardiel), which comes from the United States.

The more I think about it, the more ways I find to put them together during the timeline of the earlier episodes. We haven't seen anything entirely out of the TV series so far, so I guess all we can do now is...guess?

The font does indeed look strange. But she looks hot!
