Re: The Script for Rei and Kaworu at the Train Scene

After tinkering with the text in both Google and Deepl, looking up every word and interpreting it. This is a translation I came up with, it can be wrong though: On Platform 1 across Shinji there's a male-female couple. The close by couple, Rei and Kaworu, is obstructed by an incoming train. Was stru...

Re: MariShin discussion general

Well, the DSS Choker as atonment is for Shinji. He is blamed for the N3I, which seems to have responsibility in the corification of the planet (I suspect it is related to the creation of the FOI). However, it was also a way to control him. In Asuka and Mari's case, the DSS Choker is mainly to preve...

The possible series of events and mechanics of Third Impact in 2.0

My theory is that it works like this: -Eva 01 is a clone of Adam and Eva 00 is a clone of Lilith. -When the 10th angel ate Eva 00 it acquired both the flesh and the soul(Rei's) of Lilith. -Shinji awakens and so does his unit(it might be a reference to yoga and he might've fused with his unit). -It g...

Re: Rebuild Ending encourages viewers to embrace reality less than the EOE ending

I find the decision to kill all units as opposed to giving them lilin bodies or any other form or let them live in their own space as a(I'm hoping unintentional) very evil message. These are cloned living beings that didn't have any autonomy against their own will because Seele decided to turn them ...

Re: -46h (GENERAL)

Are you guys sure that parents scene wasn't in the theatrical version? As in it's at the cinema but not in the Blu Ray, as in it was added. Since I've never heard anything regarding to possible differences.

Re: How do you feel about NTE? + Rank the movies!

PS: Shinji saying says he's doing it for everyone's sake isn't really true (he is lying to himself). In 3.0, Shinji's attitude is trying to escape the pain and the guilt. The movie is pretty clear about that. Haha, that's not what I'm getting at. Yes, Shinji is being delusional. What I'm saying is ...

Re: How do you feel about NTE? + Rank the movies!

The story keep proling about maturity, but has an absolutist and frankly, kind of toxic view of what it means: Shinji must be perfect in his behavior and motivations, perfectly rational and decisive when pitted against the infected Eva where the girl he likes is trapped and his commanding officer's...

Re: How do you feel about NTE? + Rank the movies!

This interpretation is mainly about Shinji's behavior. And yes, even maniac escapists have their moments of assuming responsibility and acting bravely. That's... Kind of the whole point of Shinji's character since day 1 after all... However, Shinji at the end of 2.0 became Gendo 2.0. He was already...

Re: Making sense of the impact trigger and the new lore in Rebuild [now also feat. -46h spoilers]

This is a bit of a reach but maybe Gendo planned for 09 to be just a distraction and knew it was going to be destroyed. So he split the core in half and reserved the other half to make 09A. I guess... I don't know.

Re: -46h (GENERAL) [SPOILER]

I don't know. When Gendo is describing the various impacts they don't use any N3I footage to represent the 3I. But they use footage from Q to represent the 4I, meaning it's the same event we saw in Shin. In other words, the Additional Impact is a continuation of the 4I in Shin, while the N3I and th...

Re: -46h (GENERAL) [SPOILER]

After giving much thought I wonder if it's like this: Third Impact is divided in three phases. The first two are what mankind refers as Near Third Impact and the third is referred just as Third Impact. Kaworu refers to the whole thing as Third Impact. Phase 1: Awakening of Unit 01 and stopping with ...

Wait a minute, if Shin's CRC ends up releasing in May does this mean it's going to come out before 3.0's CRC or are both movies in one?

Re: Theory-the fifth cross at the Second Impact site is Lilith's

This also reminds me of the Golgotha object in 3.0 compared to 4.0. In 3 the crosses seem to be coming out of the anti universe while said anti universe is depicted as a globe further inside the gates. In 4 on the other hand once unit 8 goes through the gate the anti universe is right after it and t...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?

However, all Evangelions were destroyed/sacrificed during Shinji performing Neon Genesis Evangelion (and Mari's subsequently bringing in and destroying all the Evangelions that were still on the Earth side of Guf). So there was no way back. My views toward the ending have changed since then. I thin...

The symbols on the Dss choker are the typical glyphs. They quickly fade-in/fade-out in parts. 3.333 pic:

So I think it's the same with the cloth. Would have to take a closer look.

Remember the cubes with triple six that were with 01 while it was inside the Wunder's engine(when Ritsuko shows Shinji what happened to it)? After going back and forth frame by frame with version 3.333 I could make out it says: "Magi Achiral Cannot be Analyzed". Edit: I think it's a refere...

Re: AAA WUNDER was built by the FAR?!

The Thai Wordpress blog theorized that Unit 01 became a full copy of Lilith at the end of 2.0 after fusing with flesh Rei. Though it was made from Adam. Don't remember the specifics and should re-read that part.

Re: Quality of NTE containment thread

I'm not really interested in mecha battles, but I'm pretty sure the giant robots are part of Eva's appeal. That said, in 3.0+1.0, battles are still necessary to advance the story and get the characters to a certain point. In this case, the staff wanted to stage a confrontation between Shinji and Ge...

Disagree of the opinion that Mk.06 was just a weapon. The characters have a specific term for it like "true god" just like the Wunder is referred as having the power to "kamigoroshi" by Misato and Gendo's use of the term referring to him using 13 and/or the key in his plans. It s...
