Just out of currosity but why was it when Ritsuko was presented beofre the SEELE Council in ep 23, is there a praticular reason she was naked? My theory has always been it was to make her loose more of her dignity, but thats just me^^

also this is a really really really dumb question, but ill ask it anyway, but in ep 24 when Shinji is fighting Unit 02 is there a reason as to how he is flying, i always thought it was Kaworu's AT Field or even Rei's but i think im wrong here

Be advised tho, it's a longish thread, and some of the comments stray a bit off-topic.

Long story short: Ritsuko was naked in episode 23 because Seele's goons raped her. However, you should read that thread, it explains the how and the why.

That was never firmly established.

Was you seeing this thread 12 minutes after it was created just coincidence? or are you a champion lurker?

Beats the other explanation, "we stripped you for teh lulz," especially on the count of why she takes it so hard.

Did you read the part where it turns out that the word in Japanese that is being translated as "disgrace" also means "rape"?

Yeah, they were all falling, but it makes one think of how deep down Terminal Dogma is from Central Dogma. They were falling for a few good minutes, and if acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2, then daaaaamn. But this is animu, so normal physics don't apply.

Ritsuko's Placement Upon Seele

[Identical thread merged in]

Near the end of the series Ritsuko is sent to the Seele committee to speak with them, nude, in place of Rei. After hearing from Seele that Ikari is the one who sent her there, she is crushed, and this helps to provoke her decision in destroying the Dummy system.

Simple question: Why? Really don't understand why she was sent there or why she would be offended by being sent there. Can someone clear that up for me please? TANK YAH

She probably felt betrayed.

I think she was sent there naked to distract the old men and make them forget that Gendo used the Lance of Longenous.

Felt betrayed how.... That is never explained. Why didn't she feel honored that he sent her there instead of Rei? Feel more important? There's more to it than just randomly feeling betrayed about something that doesn't even involve betrayal.

And yeah.... I don't think they forgot that he used the lance because of that....
