The pattern on Eva-02's neck almost looks like a hand print.

From Minna no Eva fan.

新2号機 = New Unit 2

The design looks very Yamashita with many details and it generally looks more menacing than usual. It's a very good looking Eva.

I'm not sure if it is slightly pink or is just the way it's colored but I really dig the design anyway.


I find this image really interesting because it looks like 02 now has a similar wide jaw set like 01 and it makes me wonder if its going to take on 01's role in human instrumentality (If they go there) as I don't see Shinji doing that after everything that's happened in in 3.33.

Slight resurrection, but I just saw this the other day.

Looks cool, beats the perfect 1/2 Eva of Unit 02 and 08.
_________
This concept art shown confirms in some way the trio are going to get back to Wille and Asuka is going to have to pilot a repaired Unit-02. Now from this design it might just be unit-02 or it still might be a combination of 02 and 08 just in a more practical sense(as in its not a perfect 50/50 split of the two mechs).

Regardless it's cool to start seeing some information/bits from this movie, even if it is just little stuff like this.

Why does Asuka call Mari "four-eyes" when her own Eva has four eyes? Is it because she's senstive about it? :shifty:

I don't know if anyone caught this, or commented on it, but I'm trying to figure it out myself, and I'm dreadful at Japanese, and looking up kanji. The kanji that Minna no Eva fan used was 新2号機 which would be Shin Ni Go Ki. However the last character "機", "ki" isn't the same as written on the lantern. I'm trying to find that specific kanji, and put it through Google translate. Has anyone else noticed this? Am I missing something?

Keenly observed. Sadly, this is just a simplified form of 機. It's almost exclusively used when written by hand (as 機 has a fuck ton of strokes).

From the head alone this looks amazing. I imagine that these new "merged" style Evas are getting a lot of effort put into their designs to really exentuate the "final" aspect of the movie.
I do love me some Rei guns.

I TRIED TO WARN YOU

I TRIED TO WARN YOU ABOUT AN EVA GETTING COMBINED WITH JET ALONE, DAWG!

It looks awful but the finalized animation will be great and everything will be so awesome it will barely matter how stupid Eva-02 looks.

Also, next Beast Mode will be Triceratops-themed, mark my words... We already got the theropod and the saber-toothed cat, and with the oni horns bigger than ever we are totally ready for our Eva Mechaceratops. (Now if Eva-08 can manage to turn into a pink Pteranodon as well, we'll REALLY be set...)

When did Jet Alone get so "samurai-esque?" Really reminds me more of a Sengoku Basara design than Jet Jaguar at this point. Is there something like Jet Alone Prime for this universe that looks so samurai like?

"Jet Alone Prime" is a misrendering of "Jet Alone 2". (I know this because I'm the one responsible.)

Eva-02 is combined with the JA-02 parts that were shown at the end of the Avant1.
