Episode 22 Flashing Image Sequence Analysis

Though an analysis of the image montages that occur near the end of episode 22 has already been done, it seems that the image sequence at the beginning of the episode was overlooked. Thus, I've concocted an interpretation: Shots 1-6: http://wiki.evageeks.org/images/7/7f/22_C308a.jpg http://wiki....

I used to pronounce Evangelion with a soft G before I watched the series, but that stopped as soon as I heard the characters say it. A friend of mine who's seen Eva pronounces Asuka as "Uh-Soo-Kuh", which is strange, considering that he watched the sub and thus heard the correct pronun...

So somewhere, someone is looking at a monitor and hearing Gendo's voice, possibly with the same "Sound Only" screen and even the same giant monolith avatar/display. On Gendo's end of the "party line", he doesn't need his own monolith. Right, we usually see the Seele ...

It's the opposite for me. Maybe it's because homosexuality is illegal in this country. Maybe it's because many people at this age don't have a clear definition of their own sexuality yet. Homosexuality is illegal? By any chance, do you live in Russia? I see your point about people n...

I think it might be safe to assume that Yui doesn't have the same connection to Seele in Rebuild as she did in NGE. I don't think it made the story stronger either way, to be honest. Having this connection severed streamlined the story a bit. Because now we're no longer wondering which ...

Wait... Yui's name is Ayanami in rebuild? Shit, I totally missed that. Hold on, really? Then, since Yui took Gendo's name instead, does that mean -- by extension, assuming that the character backstories and such are the same in the Rebuild continuity -- that Yui didn't have family ties ...

I found pretty much all of the interactions between Toji and Asuka hilarious, as well as Toji telling Kensuke to shut up after he quipped that Shinji was doing poorly against Shamshel due to getting punched by Toji. :lol: The scene where Misato denies hooking back up with Kaji only for him to call a...

My avatar is E-102 Gamma from Sonic Adventure. I love his music, his story, his character... As odd as it sounds, I can relate to him despite him being a robot (or perhaps it's because he is a robot). As such, I figured he'd make as appropriate an avatar as anything else. My signatur...

Points taken. I'm more than likely making a big deal out of something relatively unimportant. However: Eva 01 was cloned by splitting Lilith in half, rather than as a clone proper, something that could be done on account of her unique body structure. Why would this need to be done? Wouldn't ...

They were cloned. I'm not seeing the difficulty. How were they cloned? What exactly does the Eva cloning process entail? Where did Nerv get a sample of Adam's DNA (or whatever PWM equivalent) before they recovered the embryo? Why did it fail so many times? Why did Eva-01 have to be ...

No moreso than the Angels or Evas themselves. The ATF is projected, not removed. Perhaps so. Do recall that Evas and Angels are made up of PWM, which retains its shape even without an ATF to support it. We never see a non-Angelic human project an ATF during the series, however, so I guess we ultima...

So, we know that Eva-01 was created by somehow triggering a growth off of Lilith's lower body, but what about for the Adam-based Evas? It couldn't have been through the same method; Adam is nothing more than an embryo at that point, and, by the time of the creation of the MP Evas, Adam is ei...

Doesn't the fact that they're related mean this actually makes a fair amount of sense? In retrospect, I can see that making sense. We never receive even a hint about what these personality data files contain, so the genetic similarity alone could be enough to allow for interchangeability. T...
