Armored FOIs? :w00t:
Also, it looks like Shinji is wearing a different plugsuit (maybe his old one from Nerv? Neck looks identical...)

the theory that Shinji is some kind of demigod or an adam who was given human form seems to be intensified especially by the scene where his eyes turn purple. Unit 01 vs Unit 13 fighting in what appears to be Tokyo 03, I wonder if it happens within the instrumentality it also seems that gendo and Shinji have a face-to-face confrontation.

things that could happen in the movie from what I've seen in the trailers:

* Asuka's past is revealed along with what exactly was the Marduk Institute.

* mari gets a decent character development in the movie.

* wille fails to stop gendo, the wunder is destroyed and Misato decides to use Shinji and unit 01 as a last resort.

* wille always had the spear of cassius or was in NERV paris.

* I think this time the movie could focus on mari and Shinji. (as in 1.0 it was Rei and Shinji, in 2.0 it was Asuka and Shinji and finally in 3.0 it was kaworu and Shinji.
This is because in the poster next to the trailer, mari is the closest to Shinji, followed by Asuka or Rei who seem to be at the same distance but with Asuka close to mari.

* we found out what happened in the lost 14 years (maybe ...?)

In 2.0 Shinj’s eyes turn RED when he awakens Unit 01 while piloting it. Red is a color most directly associated with PASSION, ENERGY & RAGE.

The color PURPLE is a combination of red, the color of passion, with BLUE, the color of stability.

It’s a color associated with WISDOM, PEACE, INDEPENDENCE, and is a color often used for calming the nerves. Spiritually the color purple is associated with the sacred, higher self, and fulfillment.

Purple is the color of aligning oneself with the whole of universe and self.

Just something to think about.

I agree with most of that, but I doubt it's Asuka in the past, because the eternal summer rule still applies to NTE. Or does it? That girl looks 9.

And 2.0 is really the Reishin movie. Don't forget how ecstatic Reishin fans were at 2.0, and how pissed off they were after 3.0. Similarly, Kawoshin fans were ecstatic after 3.0, and now we got Kaworu and Shinji apparently fighting. Might repeat that pattern.

I'd really say 1.0 was Shinji's movie, 2.0 Rei's, 3.0 Kaworu's. By this logic 3.0+1.0 should be Asuka's... and I guess they'll just shove Mari to the wayside.

I noticed an absence of Fuyutsuki in this trailer. What will happen to him?

Also are we going to talk about that *terrifying* shot of Midori in full EoE-style bug-eyed mode?

If this is someone's child, the obvious candidate, uhhhhhhhh... is Asuka and Shinji's. Even has Asuka's whole embarrassed tsundere's nature to her in that shot. Or Asuka and Kensuke's! Not that I think they'll actually make a canon child for the pilots, for crying out loud. There's some other explanation. Maybe a clone.


Asuka's and Kensuke is something I thought of too lol. But she still has a 14 year-old body, so that'd be messed up.

Anyways, I still think her hair is close to Hikari's color, so that's what I'm betting, but we'll see.
I mean, predictability is the central attraction and the narrative hook that we've all come to expect from the Evangelion franchise. How come Anno can't realize this? Twice? - FreakyFilmFan4ever

the eternal summer I think only applies to Japan. also Asuka (assuming it is a flashback) could be in a NERV facility in europe, as in the bethany base where it was shown that there were still snowfalls.

Wonder why Midori looks like she's going nuts, or why Ritsuko is so agitated. Is it the black Wunder they're so horrified by? The return of GAR-Shinji probably spells doom. Purple eyes probably means the blood red glow has mixed with a blue glow...whatever that stands for!

Oooh, that is a fantastic observation!

This shot really gives a menacing aura to Unit 13. Velorex pointed out that this parallels Kaworu's pose in the moon scene in 2.0. Can someone please get a screencap?


What the static shot doesn't convey is the menace that comes from Eva-13's slow movement to the side. It looks amazing.

And dang, Eva-01 versus Eva-13 in a Longinus versus Cassius battle? That looks like one hell of a fight.

That's a fair point. Interesting. Someone please check if this is actually commented on. Also, that implies Asuka will indeed be getting more involvement, and this movie could indeed have a bigger focus on her.

EVANGELION UNIT 1!!!! YES!!!!!!!! The movie looks very apocalyptic though, I'm really scared about Unit 2 being surrounded by MILLIONS of other evil Evas, Asuka looks lovely.
*petrifies and is left floating adrift in space, where it will outlast Evangelion: Thrice Upon a Time 3.0+1.0, as an eternal testament that the human race existed*

Bye bye all of Evangelion and Evageeks.
When you feel sad remember that it's always epic Spinosaurus aegyptiacus time, you were born in the same planet as S. aegyptiacus, how cool is it?
I never understood why people hate the Rebuild because it's different and love the Series, can we just love it all without creating dilemmas and unnecessary discussions?

The character in the snowy setting is clearly meant to be Asuka, maybe even as a flashback, instrumentality or post war world (I mean, post final impact).
Anyway, THE SOUNDTRACK MUST BE ABSURDLY AWESOME, there's SO much fanservice.

MOAR WIDE ANGLE SHOTS OF EVA PILOTS IN ZERO-G PLEASE!!!

Also, Hyuga and Aoba fist-bumping unexpectedly torpedoed my emotions in ways from which I'm still recovering. Was not expecting to see anything more than expositional dialogue from those guys, so that moment just gut-punched me outta nowhere.

*plays trailer on a loop another 39 times.,*

Well this is a whammytastic one!
I knew i said I was gonna nope out by I couldn't resist it.

  • Either that is flashback Asuka (backstory time?) or she's had a daughter during the timeskip. Remember, 28. She could have had that kid at 20- 22
  • If it's backstory, Maybe Mari will get backstory too...
  • Wounded Misato - No please don't die I know I was very mad at you but not like this :((
  • looks like Asuka and Mari are going to space again
  • Everyone who suggested "purple EVA battle" called it
  • I'm very curious about who is putting on that girl school uniform. - perhaps the people who are theorizing that they're booting up a new Rei are right. Or maybe it's old Rei emerging. She would still be stuck at student age like Shinji. Or an Asuka flashback? But it looks very much like that shot of Rei dressing in 2.0 right before phoning Asuka. So far the "new Rei" makes the most sense - recall Reichu's recent post according to which Rei 13 is possibly still active and unaccounted for.
  • Actually now i realize, that's someone else's hands dressing her...it looks like Shinji. I hope he's making amends with ReiQ not being emotional at her for something that isn't her fault
  • That little moment of the WILLE members high fiving is a nice touch, I'm sure it'll add a human touch in a very tense scene at some point in EVA-typical fashion
  • And here is our fourth "Shinji climbing with great difficulty at the movie's climax" shot
  • That's DEFINITELY an Anti-Wunder, you called that, too
  • Final confrontation with Gendo? though I think something surprising will happen when the visor comes off. Like a motive reveal
  • Very pretty dynamic shots, in any case



Also can anyone make out the lyrics?
They're certainly teasing us by showing Kaworu ding the "one last kiss" part lol.

The poster is so very beautiful (also recalls EoE's "seashore trailer"), please let that be the ending.
That would be the perfect ending for me - all five pilots live and walk into the sunset, free at last to build normal, non predetermined lives.
But it cant be right, no eyepath? But Mari has her timeskip glasses and Kaworu his timeskip hair. Of course since Kaworu & Rei are standing aside from the group a bit they might be only "spiritually" present.

You know I was very miffed we never got the 5 pilot teamup implied in the Q trailer...

I don't know how they could get from the end of Q to that, and I've been trying hard to keep my expectations as low as possible... Argh, damnit. Dont give me fucking HOPE! MOTHERFUCKEEEEER

is it Rei? are they teasing that's gonna be a happy ending? nobody dies (maybe Gendo).

P.S also Shinji has powers or something (his eyes became blue when he was fighting against the EVA013 piloted supposedly by his father)
