Re: Where did the 17 Angels come from?
Adam released a bunch of kids during Second Impact, but didn't finish the job. The Angels are looking for Mommy but can't tell the difference between the signals of two different Seeds of Life (which makes sense; the function would've never been necessary if things were going according to plan).

Re: Rei still makes me scratch my head
She takes Kaworu's form as GNR, but that doesn't necessarily mean Kaworu's soul is there. After all, she appears as everyone's desire when she comes for them.

Re: Rei still makes me scratch my head
My only caveat with the above is I don't see any need to salvage Kaworu's soul into the embryo; the combining of flesh seems to be what's necessary, Gendo has no way to emotionally control Kaworu like he does Rei and doesn't need the competing will, and Rei is just gonna collect all souls on the pla...

Re: Rei still makes me scratch my head
Ok, then that makes more sense. Though I think Rei II's soul was passed onto Rei III due to the latter's reaction to Gendo's glasses. Well, Rei III has all of Rei II's memories that were backed up. She'd then be able to notice the discrepancies and look at things in hindsight because, as a new bein...

Re: Rei still makes me scratch my head
Rei was absorbed from the "Salvaged remains of Yui". Yui was absorbed into Eva Unit 01, so the only logical conclusion is that the LCL she was dissolved in was used, and it possibly had her DNA. Nothing else makes sense. Rei's body is made out of Particle Wave Matter, which is the same su...

Re: Are the clones/pseudo Lilins really considered human beings?
I wonder what was the point of creating the Shikinami series, other than NERV having some kid’s life to ruin and to be used a tool for Instrumentality. Since she’s technically their property, they’re free to do what they want with her. So why make clones to pilot Evangelions, instead of finding som...

Re: Are the clones/pseudo Lilins really considered human beings?
Okay, so that was a pretty bad comparison I did there. I just thought of clones as some cheap imitation of human life, since have no face and identity of their own, but rather someone else’s. And them being created by science instead of the natural way is basically playing god there. And to NERV, c...

Re: Are the clones/pseudo Lilins really considered human beings?
How, exactly, are they not human? What do they lack? Their souls are human. They're real in every way that matters. The fact they didn't come out of a woman is entirely irrelevant. Late reply, but I think I’ll answer your question anyway. The real difference between a human and a clone is that how ...

Re: why doesn't kaworu appear in episode 26 of neon genesis evangelion
1. Because he's not "human."
2. Because his absence by Shinji's own hand is fundamentally why Shinji is spiralling in the first place.

Re: So what happens to the angel souls after Third impact?
I always headcanoned that the Angels, Gendo, SEELE, and any other human souls that don't want to return to Lilin life will go with Yui, who will Seed of Life a new Angelic/Adamic-based world, thus righting the scales that were wronged so many billions of years ago.

Re: Impact mechanism
To answer, in order: 1. The Angels are looking for Adam to reboot the planet into an Adam-based ecosystem and replace Lilin-kind with their own kind. You don't technically need both Seeds to perform an Impact, the term can refer to any Seed activity that effectively remakes the world. SEELE and Gend...

Re: Why would Seele allow for Jet Alone to be built?
Also, like... It is literally impossible for Jet Alone to ever be viable because it doesn't run off of human souls and thus can never do anything to hurt an Angel, much less beat one.

Re: Why Rei turns on Gendo - character growth or soul shenanigans
It's quite simply likely down to the fact that Rei's memories were backed up (This is how the Dummy Plug system even exists), and after dying a couple times Rei is resentful because she wanted to stay dead. Then she simply has to go back and realize in hindsight that Gendo never had her best interes...

Re: What is postinstrumentality existence?
Whatever the details were, SEELE's aim would be that individuality would be completely destroyed, and all souls would be fused together into a single entity that feels no loneliness or sadness (or happiness). Something that would be so 'perfect' that it would have no need, or drive, to do anything. ...

Re: Explain Each Characters' Instrumentality/3rd Impact Plan
The Instrumentality in EoE seem to involve 2 beings: Eva01 and Giant Rei (which comprises Lilith's body & soul, as well as Adam's body & soul?). If Eva01 was meant as a backup substitute for Lilith's body, why was Lilith's body still utilized during EoE instrumentality, and what would an Ev...

SEELE's goal is to merge all human souls into a single consciousness that would be free o...

Re: Misato's backstory and the second impact
I mean, she saw a giant being of light show up and destroy half the planet with a front row seat while she was attending a mission from NERV where they were fucking about with a giant alien for a few weeks. How could she not connect the dots?

Re: Why were there only 3 impacts ?
It's not just "Adam-being touching Lilith-being." The resulting fusion needs to have enough power to effect everything on a planet-wide scale, whichrequires a member of the contact to be a fully realized Seed of Life; Adam, Lilith, or both. In Gendo's case, for example, Adam is an embryo u...
