Zero & Ni hand grasping...

Sorry to go off topic, but...
http://evacommentary.org/full-op/full-op_C237_comp.jpg

Does this image and the others like it (Yui in the divesuit, digging up Adam etc) appear anywhere else other than being flashed over the Reiquarium in some versions of 23'?

The full OP on the test-type DVD, I think.

[Anonymous_Evafan]

It is the test-type op. Reichu has the pics you asked about on her website. http://evacommentary.org/full-op/full-op

HAY GUYS, WHATS GOING ON IN THIS THREAD?

[TriLink]

HAY GUYS, WHATS GOING ON IN THIS THREAD?

I'll sum it up for ya...

EVA-01 came from Adam, not Lillith

EVA-01 IS NOT stronger than the other Eva's (or so I'm told)

Asuka is a Nazi (common knowledge)

S^2 Engines are overated

Yui has a penis (or was that another thread? hmm...)

As you can see, it's been off topic for a LONG time now.

[Anonymous_Evafan]

EVA-01 came from both Adam and Lilith

Fixed! More background stuff, Eva is German for Eve. In the Bible (this is one of the rare cases where it can actually be applied to NGE) Eve was created from Adam.

[Reichu]

A theory concocted by those trying to get around a perceived problem with the commonly-held notion of EVA-01 being a clone or something of Lilith proposes that EVA-01 is, in fact, the hideous bastard-child of both Seeds.

lol fixed yer fix

Oh yeah, and, on the subject of irreverent facts:

- Dr. Katsuragi was seduced by Keel. That's the real reason Misato's mom finally divorced him, you know. His homosexuality was passed onto Kaworu on a genetic level.
- Naoko and Rei 1 live together happily inside EVA-00.
- The core is inside the S^2 Engine.
- Toji speaks Okinawan. He also lost an arm and a leg.
- The Evas are based on the Barons of Hell from the popular FPS "Doom" games.
- Shinji didn't masturbate by Asuka's bedside. That was actually a very messy sneeze.
- Shinji is the illegitimate lovechild of Yui and Kozo.
- Rei 1 didn't die. She just passed out, and then Gendo showed up and gave Naoko a good push. And Rei 2 survived that huge explosion because of her ginormous A.T. Field.
- "Evangelion" makes perfect sense without invoking the dark art of fanwanking.
- Second Impact was really caused by the Plot Hole Bomb created from the core of Jupiter.
- Adam and Lilith were lesbian lovers on the Homeworld.
- Kaji is a lesbian, as well.
- Misato is a virgin, since lesbian sex doesn't count as REAL sex. (lol)
- Keel Lorenz is a robot. And the Wandering Jew. And he's gay, too. So he's a gay Jewish robot.
- Asuka is 1/2 German.

And last, but certainly not least...

- Kaworu is a chick.

I think your psychiatrist is ripping you off Reichu.

I wouldn't have it any other way, kekekekeke.

ZOMG THE MYSTERIES ALL MAKES SENSE NOW! I FINALLY GET EVA! *cue Hallelujah Chorus* Especially the part about Adam & Lilith being lesbian lovers and Shinji's REAL father! Though I now have a bad mental image of Kaji as a chick. *shudders*

[Tokpile Quohog]

I wonder if some of the people here would have been what society deems "normal" if Evangelion never existed.

Nope, the Timex-Sinclair is to blame for me, not Evangelion.

[Mr. Tines]

Personally, I blame the effects of assortative mating.

Just to actually address the original topic of this thread *COUGH*:

Weren't both Zero and Rei reaching up to some sort of idealized vision of Gendo? Why wouldn't Rei see Shinji, since she wants to "unite" (Paraphrasing here, don't remember the exact translation) with him?

We don't actually see Rei reaching for anything, but that doesnt mean she wasn't

[Anonymous_Evafan]

Why wouldn't Rei see Shinji, since she wants to "unite" (Paraphrasing here, don't remember the exact translation) with him?

She says "No" to that.

Rei:
This is my heart wanting to become one with Ikari?
No.

The songs you want are called, I believe, ‘The Heady feeling of Freedom’ and ‘Good, Or don’t be’ (Instrumental versions of the Cruel Angels Thesis from #26). Much more suitable to a fundamental revelation.

Edit: Although after taking in to account your profound irony … :P

@Reichu that list could well come back and bite you in the arse. Imagine you may have just fuled future Geese. :shock:

[Sailor Star Dust]

SEE MY USAGE OF GOOD OR DON'T BE IN THE PASSAGE OF TIME EOE FINAL SCENE THREAD ;)

I DUNNO WHY I'M TYPING IN ALL CAPS, THIS THREAD NEEDS MORE MAGGOT MASTER FOR THE WIN! (AND HOW THE HELL DOES ONE "WIN" AN INTERNET ANYWAYS??) LOLZ

[Reichu]

@Reichu that list could well come back and bite you in the arse. Imagine you may have just fuled future Geese. :shock:

What's all this about geese, now?

Why wouldn't Rei see Shinji, since she wants to "unite" (Paraphrasing here, don't remember the exact translation) with him?

She says "No" to that.

Rei:
This is my heart wanting to become one with Ikari?
No.

"No", here, is dame, which is not negating the question she asks herself, but basically saying that such a desire is unacceptable.

"Mommy, can I cook the cat for dinner?"
"No! (Dame!) You have to get your sister's permission first!"

Dame is also used for saying "musn't do ~", as in "Nigecha dame da" ("I mustn't run away"). And there's this usage, as well:

"Remove this penguin from the premises now!"
"It's no use! (Dame!) The creature has mauled thirteen of our men already!"

I wonder if some of the people here would have been what society deems "normal" if Evangelion never existed.

I was a lost cause from the moment of my conception.

[BobBQ]

So when Rei says nyet, is she saying it because she knows her desire is taboo, or because Ikari senior wouldn't approve, or what?

What's all this about geese, now?

That would be our friend The Goose, who denies that Rei carries the soul of Lilith.

I was a lost cause from the moment of my conception.

There never was any cause for me; I was a defective product the day I left the factory.

[Reichu]

So when Rei says nyet, is she saying it because she knows her desire is taboo, or because Ikari senior wouldn't approve, or what?

Because it involves her buddy Armisael tentacle-raping even more people, and it would just get nastier and nastier from there.

Plus that thing coming out of Zero's back is just a whole lot of no good. I mean, what could Armisael be up to? (Kya-kya-kya-kya.)
