That's an interesting take on Tunniel, and I can see the similarity to Dante's Satan who also had three mouths, as does Tunniel. Also, Cocytus and Acheron (both mentioned as part of Bethany Base) are both rivers bordering the underworld in Greek mythology, and IIRC Cocytus flows into Acheon. So gth...

I suppose Kaworu goes through a similar process as Rei after dying. With Kaworu it seems he became wiser somehow. I think he also learned new things by becoming one with Rei. Seeing as Lilith's a Fruit of Wisdom type being I'm not surprised Adam became more wise by fusing with her. I mean, this is ...

I always felt that in the series the Magi had raped Ritsuko Please for the love of the FAR tell me this is a typo and you don't actually think she was raped by a computer. That aside, I think it's hard not to read Ritsuko as mentally broken down when she destroys a tank full of human bodies, breaks...

Personally, I'm liking referring to get Third Angel as Lucifer. While looking doesn't match the importance of that being in Judeo-Christian lore, physically speaking it does match descriptions of Lucifer as a serpent cast down onto the Earth (doesn't get more cast down than underground). It's even c...

I personally can't see it because lol phone but that makes a lot more sense, thanks.

What exactly is that last picture of the red thing? It certainly doesn't look anything like the outline from the first two pictures. Still, I really like that design. It reminds me of the proportions of Adam and the Evas in the original show with a massive chest and an abdomen thinner than its legs....

That honestly sounds like a really cool plot development and I really wish a story would cover that idea.

Something else I remembered recently that's fairly interesting: in some Jewish lore, Sandalphon is one of two Angels described as having been humans ascended to a higher plane (he was originally the prophet Elijah). Given that, it's probably no coincidence Sandalphon is the only Angel we see in embr...

Most of the time, the Angel of Self Determination's name is actually spelt as "Tabbris", with 2 B's. Searching that on Google generates plenty of hits. (Tabris is a valid spelling because the names are derived from a writing system that works off phonetics, so trying for write it in Englis...

Exactly, Shinji is best cook, followed by Hikari, and if you remember the manga, Toji could also cook, but chose not to cause it was "girly" or some such nonsense. Fun fact, Gordon Ramsay had a father who belittled him growing up for his interest in cooking, saying it was "for poofs&...

You can only see him from the neck up, you know. The expanded view of the shot included with Collector's Disc 6 doesn't depict soaked clothes. Hmm. I wasn't previous aware of this. It still makes more sense as Shinji attempting and failing to drown himself than just getting super sweaty, because th...

I mean Arael x Asuka is technically canon so I don't see a problem with Armisael x Rei.

I wouldn't say I dislike EoE, but it doesn't really satisfy my philosophy of "it's a movie first and an adaptation/continuation second". It does feel like if was made with cinema in mind, but if it was your first exposure to Eva then prepare to be confused beyond belief. I'm not a great fa...

I think the lack of another Impact when Gendo fused with Adam was because Adam was in an embryonic state after the events of Second Impact, but that does cause me to realize something- Gendo becomes even more cold and distant after fusion with Adam. Whereas before he ran to Rei's ejected Entry Plug...

@AGCT It's absolutely clear that he didn't try to drown himself at the beginning of EoE. It was sweat. So he just happened to be sweating so heavily he was soaking wet from head to toe and just so happened to be standing in front of the artificial lake that just so happened to be where he met Kawor...

The way "DNA that dived into Adam" is worded uses the actual English word "dive", and it's the DNA itself that's doing the "diving". It's not passive, it's not being made to do it by an outside force, it's just doing it -- which rules out the "injection" inte...

The Giant Impact stuff is from the show, though it's kind of obfuscatory and messy. - Rei associated with the moon repeatedly. - Lilith's mask is pocked with craters. - episode 7: Textbook page that's mostly about Second Impact mentions creation of the moon via giant impactor. - episode 21': subter...

Kinda. There is an actual in series text book that lists First Impact as the event that created the moon. https://wiki.evageeks.org/File:07_C080_textbook-overlay.jpg You can kinda infer a relation to one of the Seeds from the White Moon dating back to the same time as the event and being clearly ar...

Still seems too close to the fallout from their inevitably violent encounter. Just be grateful neighbouring of them is Adam. When it got angry 1000 KILOMETRES wasn't far enough. Which reminds me... seeing as the Angels are human, why leave them out of shipping. Admit it, Rei x Sachiel has some appe...

Lilith's arrival on Earth creating the moon I believe comes from the Confidential Information files or related material. This is based on an actual scientific theory that Earth as we know it and its moon were created by the collision of two planetoids. Second Impact being a result of Adam waking up ...
