Alright then, so Rei still has the role of being connected with Lilith. Back to Impact mechanics. During Third Impact when people turned to FoI/Eva's, Kaworu mentions they were to be life forms blessed with the Fruit of Life. Were they being transformed into Adam like beings or Angel like being...

Maybe because Eva-01 had two cores at the time?

I'm not so sure the Mark 06 impaled Lilith first before impaling itself. It would be very awkward to have it impale Lilith and than sort of "fall into place" where it is. I think it would make more sense if the Mark 06 impaled both itself and Lilith at the same time. I wasn't sayi...

Not sure if I remember right or not, but you need two souls to wield 2 spears, so Im confused over how mark6 could leave a spear in Lilith, then get another spear and stab itself so I assume that someone at least tossed the spear at someone. Who says Mark.06 wielded both? Whichever one is going thr...

Eye of the storm.

Maybe it resumed it and giant naked Rei started the usual mess by changing the environments and turning everyone near her into FOI? No idea. Why would that happen? Did you miss at the end of 2.0 where Ritusko is saying (again, in a direct explanation to the audience) that Eva-01's evolu...

All that stuff fits fine. It's the confusion that the stuff with Lilith and the Mark-06 that throws us off. Those parts of the story I don't know if we have enough information to fill in all the blanks. Oh yeah, and I agree with that. I'm not saying there's any kind of explanation i...

Even without Kaworu's monologue, it's not exactly a stretch to connect the ending of 2.0 to what we see in 3.0. We see the Door of Guf open, the surrounding area is physically devastated, Tokyo-3 is destroyed. And while we don't see the people being transformed into Evas/failures of infi...

Yeah, you can be sorry. The events that led to the things we see in 3.0 happened during the time gap obviously, and you don't need to have a master degree in nuclear engineering to understand that. I don't care what Kaworu says, he's always talking in a cryptic way. Nothing happened YET...

Do you see that happening at the end of the second movie? No. Absolutely none of that happened yet. Sorry, have you not watched any of 3.0 yet? Or not know anything about the movie yet? Because Kaworu makes it pretty clear: he takes Shinji outside, says "Everyone hates you because you caused t...

I don't think it's directly related. It has more to do with Lilith than with 01's near third impact. Nothing special had happened yet at the end of the second movie... so the reason of this whole mess is still a total mystery :( How is it not directly related? Kaworu outright says t...

I don't understand why Kaworu even put the damn thing on in the first place. "You don't like wearing an explosive choker around your neck Shinji? Well let me take that off for you and what the hell I'll wear it around my neck instead for absolutely no reason whatsoever" Just.....

Ah yes, that would make sense then. Do we have any idea yet of what the "L Barrier" is? Lilith Barrier was the first thing that came to mind; reminded me of how her AT Field in episode 24 shut out everything. Of course, Lilith being a dead pile of blood at this point probably nixes that i...

So that second picture: is that Mark.06 coming out of Lilith's neck? Like a mini-Mark.06 standing in for where Lilith's head should be?

Yep, Mark.06 is speared; in the pose of pushing the Lance through it's own chest a la the MPEs in EOE. It's also kind of half merged/formed with Lilith, and the second Lance is kind of behind Mark.06, going down and through Lilith. That's interesting. So maybe the 12th Angel possessed M...

The "fusing together" idea addresses the problem of "why aren't there as many red Evas as you'd expect there to be citizens?". This also forwards the notion of "Infinity" -- Kaworu references the giant corpse-thingies in CD as "failures of infinity", ...

Maybe it's the Rebuild equivalent of the Black Moon?

So is "Eva 8+2" supposed to refer a combined 02/08 Eva? I originally just read it as meaning "Eva 8 and 2", as if they were two separate units just working together.

And it dies the same way as the other Rebuild Angels: cross of light, rainbow halo.

What is the 12th Angel? The only instance it's popped up in any of the spoilers is to say that it was destroyed by the Wunder

Also, why are some Evas designed "Unit-xx" and others "Mark.xx"? Is there a (known) difference?
