(If the images don´t render, I left links to each image in order on the first reply.) While scrolling Reddit I found a post pointing out that, unlike most other Evangelion continuities, nowhere in NTE is the year of the events ocurring mentioned, only shown subtly in 3 scenes (that I am aware of), b...

By Soryu Asuka i dont mean the exact same character as NGE Asuka, but an NTE version of her. Basically all other characters reincarnations have their surnames retained from NGE, the exceptions being Asuka, Yui (A whole other can of worms) and Gendo (Ikari is now his surname, not Yuis). I edited my p...

There is a high chance that it is, but I still entertain the idea that this is the original Asuka for a few reasons: (Note: I do believe that the name Soryu is somewhere in NTE, as it is a pretty obvious omission from NGE that might be hidden somewhere waiting to be found, like some sort of subtle C...

Evangelion overall lead me to learn more about different cultures and mythologies, which I find really cool as a culture nerd and specially as an artist that enjoys incorporating different philosophies into my drawings and ideas. As much as I appreciate this newfound interest, the thing that most be...

If you like the physics aspect of Eva, I recommend reading the ANIMA books! I am still halfway through the 2nd volume, and the dialogues are pretty goofy, but the sci fi aspects are really cool and there is a lot of actual physics mentioned. The references actually get kinda overbearing somethimes, ...

As a practicing christian myself I can say I have found some ideas in eva congruent with my theological beliefs, not just in superficial referencing but in deeper concept and philosophy, although I do understand these overlaps are either coincidental or a result of the sheer amount of references to ...

As much as the quality of the movies plot is controversial (I love it but understand the criticism), the artistry behind it is undeniably miraculous. The movies are so densely packed with stunning visuals, brilliant composition and ground-breaking new techniques, it is honestly still hard to believe...

All discussion of Kaworus reasoning for putting the choker on must acknowledge that the DSS choker is a metaphor for burden and responsability, and Kaworu putting it on is a display of how his care for Shinji is self destructive. This parallel is further used when Shinji puts it on when going to the...

Correct me if I am wrong (my memory isnt the best), but I remember reading an interview about the use of christian symbolism in NGE and the reply by Anno being that it was just for the cool factor and that if they knew it was going to be popular in the west they wouldnt use it as much. This reductio...

An important element for this comparison is the possible parallel between Gendo trying to save Yui throughout Eva and Shinji trying to save Rei in 2.0, both women were absorbed by a core and attempts to reconnect with them resulted in impacts. Shinji learning to move on is an important theme of Shin...

BernardoCairo (oi irmão brasileiro!) does bring up an interesting point with the wings, that also brings into question why in Shin the original Asuka is the one with wings, maybe representing deification or divine contact, as in 2.0 our Asuka is the one contacting an angel, and in Shin its the one i...

Ritsuko has always been more involved in the mysteries of NERV and SEELE, so her knowing this is plausible, and by ep.24 she is already pretty disillusioned with everything, so maybe she just gave up trying to resist the unfolding chaos. If she knew Kaworu was the 17th angel she probably also knew h...

Mock lilin has indeed been used to describe Shinji in Shin, who I believe is not a clone, so I agree with you on the ambiguity of the term in this translation. I am new to the theory scene so I dont really know the general opinion on the Prime subtitles, but in it the term is instead translated as a...

Do you guys think the original Asuka is the base for the Shikinami series clones like Yui is to the Ayanami series or is she another just clone? In the ending scene where we are shown the Shikinami elimination process, we see two Asuka’s remaining, so maybe one of them was put in unit 13? My questio...

I do like your interpretation of Rei’s scenario, but from my understanding of the speech he was refering to all copies made by the lilin, such as the Shikinami series, and not just the Rei/Ayanami series. If we go by the Amazon subtitles, Kaworu states the “seat of the soul” is in a different place,...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Kaworu state in 3.0 that clones made by the Lilin can’t pull the spears because their souls are in a different spot? Shinji had asked him about why Rei Q couldn’t pilot Eva 13 and he responded with that. The only way I can see him being a clone and being able to ...
