Re: So was Ritsuko REALLY off her rockers in EOE?

MAGI clearly wasn't following the normal protocol for "rational and logical" decision-making in that scene, because as we saw, the majority vote was in favour of the self-destuct. Two out of three computers, Melchior and Balthasar, supported the explosion. That's why Ritsuko concludes that...

Re: Why do Evas even use firearms if they don't work?

They also didn't know exactly what the Angels would be like. Sure, they knew AT Fields would probably make conventional weapons pointless, but for all they know, all the Angels were gonna be like Matarael — defended, but still vulnerable to guns under the right circumstances.

Re: What if the lance didn't work out as intended in ep 22?

There are some unknowns here though. Did the Spear travel purely under the force of Eva-00's throw or did it accelerate itself? (Relevant because we know the Lance is capable of autonomous flight.) Does electricity production of Japan in Eva match what it would be in our world's equivalent? (Can't t...

Re: C.T.1290 versus Asuka. Examining the good and bad.

Well, of course the "normal" ones are nicer. They're not dealing with the same sort of stress or trauma; they might all have lost their mothers too, but Asuka and Shinji were sort of special cases in that regard, and they've had several new reasons since then to be shitty. Asuka doesn't wa...

Re: Theory: EVA 03's soul + Are Mothers' souls really the only ones who are able to bond with pilots?

The main point is that we don't know how these souls are transfered into the EVAs, and also why was especifically Toji the one chosen as a pilot instead of anyone else. Contact experiments. The soul is inserted into the Eva via the Entry Plug. A soul can be transferred from one vessel to another ev...

Re: EVA 03's soul + Are Mothers' souls really the only ones who are able to bond with pilots?

Sakura can't be the soul for EVA-03. She's still alive. Touji only became a pilot to assure that NERV would provide her with medical care, and even if EVA-03 hadn't been taken over, Touji would've noticed if she went insane from losing part of her soul like Kyouko the second he saw her post-Contact ...

Asuka and Rei numbered out of order?

So, as we all know, Rei is the First Children and Asuka the Second. However, wasn't Asuka technically selected first? Rei's existence wasn't publicly known until 2010, and there would have been no Eva for her to pilot until later (Eva-00 was soulless until Rei 1's death, and Eva-01 wasn't complete u...

Re: Circumstances of Kaworu's creation [split]

If the people at Ground Zero were considered "external" to Adam and therefore targets for A.T. dissolution, then Misato would also have been an external entity; I really doubt another being's ATF could have shielded her in that scenario. What's more likely is that the pod she was in did ha...

Re: Kaworu's Upbringing?

I would assume Kaworu was raised, well, not like a normal boy, but raised and taught these things the mundane way. He wouldn't have been allowed to wander around, so I doubt he was placed in a normal classroom in Germany, but he'd have lived in SEELE headquarters and gotten his education there or so...

Re: Nature of sync tests

I mean, they're just behaving as they would when they sync to pilot, so I would guess same thing they focus on there, which is establishing a link to the Eva, their desire for it to respond to them, etc. The only difference would be that, since they don't actually want to manipulate the Units during...

Re: During the EoE movie were Asuka, Rei, and Misato just projections in Shinji's mind?

The following exchange stops making sense if Shinji isn't talking to the true Misato and Asuka, though for slightly different reasons that what people have already pointed out with this quote: Shinji: I thought it was supposed to be a world without unpleasantness... without uncertainity. Rei: Becaus...

Re: Animals and vegetables in Instrumentality?

What I wonder is, up to now the general consensus seems to be that anyone emerging from the LCL Sea would have to literally reform inside the ocean and drag themselves out. Yet, all the trees just magically reappeared on the mountains where they were before, obviously without swimming back to land. ...

Re: Theory: How Rei/Lilith escapes Crucifixion. Plus, Kaworu's Plan.

Rei took the Spear out of Lilith to use on Arael, though - Lilith has been free of the Lance since episode 22 and Kaworu shows up in 24. (Note also that it wasn't stuck inside her until episode 14.) We know it was doing something related to Lilith's physical growth, but whether it was "only&quo...

Re: Why human souls in Evas can produce big AT Fields

On 3I: Apparently, (and Impact-mechanics are pretty up there as far as obscurity and confusion go,) as I understand it (not very well), an Impact requires contact between 2 SoLs.

Re: Why human souls in Evas can produce big AT Fields

Interesting! Mmm, just curious then, what would be your explanation for what seem to be differences between Kaworu/Adam/Rei/Lilith souls and everyone else's? (Mostly how their ATs seem to be so much more powerful than those of other Angels even while in Lilin bodies, and why those two souls specific...

Why human souls in Evas can produce big AT Fields

This is something I've seen brought up a lot in debates in other threads (which I'm not posting in because tbh idk where I'd start, and also because some are old af) - mostly in discussions about "SoL souls are special compared to Lilin souls" vs "All souls are human and therefore the...
