More than symbolism there is clearly weird shit going on with Mari. For instance, it's strange that in 2.0 she gets EVA 02's left arm and right eye severed, then in 3.0 we see Asuka's right arm and left eye evidently damaged. I halfway think that after near-third impact, the dead sea scrolls scenari...

I don't remember ever writing that Mari is a time traveler in the OP.

https://streamable.com/mg6m4 During this scene Mari clearly does something to Shinji's SDAT. It's possible that she simply messed it up when they collided and it fell, but if you pay attention, she is behaving strangely. She crawls down and makes a show of groping around for her glasses. Takes a lon...

https://i.imgur.com/5C9mUM2.jpg I finally collected thoughts I've been having for a while now about Rei and the souls inside EVA-01 and EVA-00. Here's how it looks to me. Rei is Yui + Lilith (mostly Lilith.) EVA-01 is Yui + Lilith (mostly Yui.) Lilith and Yui no longer have distinct souls. They wer...

A lot of the text is quite difficult to read (eye-pain to the point I gave up), so translating the giga-image back into text and screenshots wouldn't be a bad idea. This would also make sure your post still has most of the relevant information within it even if at some point the image link(s) expir...

The reason people hesitate to call Asuka a bad person is because there are logical reasons why she's that way, and because there's another side to her that she doesn't expose to others because she thinks it would be perceived as weakness. At the surface level she is obviously not a good or kind pers...

(...) The size of a core doesn't necessarily have to be rigid, we see a core even split into two during the series. We see a core form a mouth in order to accept something into it. Bear in mind that only part of Kyoko's soul was taken into the core. Maybe the core size had something to do with that...

You might be right about the Gehirn employees given the scene that comes right after. Also, I still think their conversation is notable because of the starting part. "The hypothetical became reality. "Talk about unlucky, the proponent becoming the test subject herself." The wording me...

I noticed some things about the sequence in Episode 22 where Arael is invading Asuka's mind and memories. This is a big image, open it in a new tab. https://i.imgur.com/vSyjYfP.jpg It seems possible that Kyoko might not have thought as little of her daughter as Asuka thinks. - Here is a second image...

Hello Evageeks. I've shamelessly exploited your wiki for years. I figured I should drop in and exchange some of my own ideas. One of the chief mysteries of NGE seems to be Shinji and Asuka's relationship. There is a lot of seemingly contradictory behavior, especially on Asuka's end. I don't understa...
