Re: Shinji creates a new world in the ending of Evangelion 3.0+1.0?
Well, at least it is implied that it's a different place from the rebuild world. Remember Shinji was stuck in the Minus Space and Mari reached out to him only for her Eva Unit to dissappear and leave them stranded there with no way for them to return to their original world. So my guess is that the...

Re: Shinji creates a new world in the ending of Evangelion 3.0+1.0?
Does the rebuild one still exist or did it become the world where Shinji is at the station? The Rebuild World still exist. That's why Asuka returns to Earth close to Kensuke's house. Shinji has just erased the corification of the Earth (making the planet habitable for humans again). Now, it isn't s...

Re: Debate the quality of Rebuild here. [2]
I don't think that the village would logically resemble its cultural expressions given the premise at hand. There's no reason for people not to be hostile, suspicious, for there to be some faction that expresses the barbs of Wille. To be fair, Kensuke and Touji seem to be hiding Shinji's identity f...

Re: Debate the quality of Rebuild here. [2]
I think what I have more trouble rationalizing is the relationship between Q's creative choices and Shin's, which are hard to reconcile in no small part thanks to the feeling that the plan of action merely changed, and retroactively makes the alienation feel less meaningful. Well, the images boards...

Re: Kaworu is the same character as from the original series, but everyone else is different
One would hope that such a shallow, dismissive take would have been left behind by now on a space specifically about analyzing Eva, but alas. Honestly, that "shallow" take is still a valid opinion. So, there isn't reason why one person couldn't share it. If all that theorycrafting is mere...

Re: Debate the quality of Rebuild here. [2]
One can understand the intent but still find the execution lacking. I agree on this point. I don't think the execution in 3.0 was lacking, but I understood it might not work for other people. I mentioned the intent because it seems relevant to explain why they don't generate more world-building in ...

Re: Debate the quality of Rebuild here. [2]
The world-building in Q was also a weak point for me, with all the time-skip stuff feeling overwhelming to absorb right off. When I saw 3.0+1.0 and all the great stuff in the village, I felt like that world-building should've been in 3.0! The point in 3.0 is that the audience shouldn't be fascinate...

Re: Kaworu is the same character as from the original series, but everyone else is different
Rather, NTE breaks the fourth wall (so to speak) and depicts a universe where Evangelion is a fiction created in a "real" universe, which is pretty much ours. When Gendo incorporates the Key of Nebuchednezzar, he says he "annotated (書き加えた) into himself information(情報) that transcends...

Re: Kaworu is the same character as from the original series, but everyone else is different
In bold- the originals (their "own versions") are in the Rebuild continuity...and they aren't part of the Rebuild continuity. I don't understand. It means that one of the cycles in Rebuild loop includes pretty similar events to NGE/EoE, but these aren't really NGE/EoE. So, NGE/EoE is stil...

Re: Kaworu is the same character as from the original series, but everyone else is different
However, this doesn't really show that the Rebuild is a direct sequel to NGE/EOE and that the universe as a whole "loops." Other than Kaworu, pretty much all of the characters are different/alternate versions of the originals. Asuka doesn't even have the same surname and has a totally dif...

Re: Kaji's sacrifice was inside Mark.06
I think it was Kaworu the one who said a sacrifice was needed to stop impacts, so what if... Kaji used the militar carrier to transport himself down to the bottomost part of Central Dogma to pilot the autonomous Mark.06? It was Kensuke who said a sacrifice was necessary to stop the Third Impact. It...

Re: The Script for Rei and Kaworu at the Train Scene
My two cents: らdoes not one-to-one correspond to plurals like in English or other indoeuropean languages. In particular, カップルら(already an awkward choice of words in Japanese, perhaps for the sale of brevity) can totally mean "a couple and others (with them)". This use is very often seen w...

Re: The Script for Rei and Kaworu at the Train Scene
Nuke definitely translated to the most accurate translation, but I mean we shouldn't ignore the confusing fact that the final product clearly derails from the contents of the script. The script mentions "multiple couples of men and women" but in the final scene, Rei and Kaworu are the onl...

I'm just going to say this much: That is a remarkably bad foundation to build any sort of argument on, unless you have solid proof that what you're working off of is better. That wasn't the foundation of my argument. I was just mentioning a possible situation. In any case, the foundation of my &quo...

Re: The Script for Rei and Kaworu at the Train Scene
When we only have the dialogues of 3.0+1.0 (not the official Amazon subs), I remember an example of translators being confused with a phrase: Kaji: 葛城と一緒に 老後は 畑仕事でもどうです? One or two translators said Kaji words were translated this way: Kaji: Why don't you and Katsuragi spend your golden years working...

Re: The Script for Rei and Kaworu at the Train Scene
Well, now we're talking about popular reception, rather than authorial intent; as Nuke laid out, the authorial intent is fairly clear as by the scene script, and I will trust the professional translator over any machine tool. According to Nuke, the autorial intent is confusing, because it mentions ...

Re: The Script for Rei and Kaworu at the Train Scene
I have talked with a few Japanese people and they said that Kaworu and Rei are a couple in the script, which confuses me because you said that it’s pretty much ambiguous on if they are or not and the Japanese fans say that they are. I suppose the script is ambiguous, but many Japanese people take t...

Re: Theory about Kaworu's intentions.
I assume his plan was to reach the Golgotha object, shown in the middle of the sky rings unit 13 was ascending towards in Q, and then do the mutual spear exhaust Gendo did in Shin to rewrite the world. Longinus represents despair and Cassius hope, two perfect opposed forces that cause each other (s...

Re: Theory About Kaworu's Intentions.
Nice theory! It's been a whole new movie and we still haven't gotten any direct answers to this. I have a question though: Why did Kaworu put on the DSS choker? We could already know this theory is wrong due to 3.0+1.0. Kaworu wasn't following SEELE's plan. SEELE's plan in 3.0 is the Fourth Impact ...

Re: The Script for Rei and Kaworu at the Train Scene
I think that's easily explained by the ending scene being largely symbolic. Mari was gonna get Shinji out of the Anti-Universe too. The thing is Asuka is pretty "relegated" in that scene. In the Train Scene, there is close-up to Kaworu and Rei, while Asuka(?) is just sitting and the image...
