The Rosicrucian Rosy Cross and Evangelion Cores
Nothing super revealing, just noticing some inspirations. I think the Angel Core / Eva Core system was inspired by the Rosicrucians' Rosy Cross https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/Rosy_Cross.svg/440px-Rosy_Cross.svg.png At the beginning of each episode there is a picture of Rob...

Re: Can an Evangelion have the soul of the pilot's father?
I got it! Unit-00 contains the soul of Yui's mother!

Re: what happened to lilith's longinus spear?
It shattered into millions of pieces and became imbeded in the shell of the geofront as it got ejected from the white moon with lilith inside during the first impact. This was subtly revealed in the rebuild movies

Re: Garden of Eden?
Perhaps the garden of eden was the south pole where Adam was found rendered inert by the Lance of longinus after first impact and got frozen over due to climate change

Re: Would you consider EoE an example of high culture?
I would qualify EOE as high quality and high production-value Abstract Art, but not High Culture. It does approach the trajectory of a High Culture potentiality, but it is no Kurosawa. Non-Japanese speakers like myself would not be able to adequately prove 100% whether it is or is not high culture, ...

Re: Does Shinji accept Instrumentality in the TV ending? My argument V Contradicting supplementary material
^^ This. I too am in the camp where Unit-01 will only briefly awaken to protect her son. It will become conscious, but on an ape-like instinctual level. Her maternal protective side activates sharply when her son is in danger, or even refuses to activate if it cannot detect him in times of danger. I...

Re: Does Shinji accept Instrumentality in the TV ending? My argument V Contradicting supplementary material
I always got the impression from Fuyu's and Yui's flashback convo, that basically SEELE coerced her into doing the contact experiment, as well as the other lady scientists, behind their husband's backs. Probably by threatening to do something with their children if they don't. It was a subtle implic...

Fun Game - Assign Angels to the circles of Inferno and Purgatorio from Dante's Divine Comedy
While its pure speculation, let's go out on a limb and assume ETV's story layout is based on Dante's Divine Comedy, where each Angel would be assigned to either one of Inferno's Circles or Purgatorio's Terraces. How would you assign each angel to one of those circles/terraces based on what they repr...

Re: Could Gendo have triggered Third Impact while Kaworu was alive?
The angel elimination requirement seems to be based on some set-in-stone prophecy in the dead sea scrolls. There is no explanation of why or how this prophecy functions, or if it's FAR instruction manual why they would make it act as a prophecy as well. Yui stated to Fuyutsuki that they knew 3rd imp...

Re: GEHIRN's Japanese branch only ever consisted of six people
not only that, but the Unit-00 was totally just built out of cardboard (cannon), totally fooling Fuyutsuki into being hired. It turns out Fuyutsuki was being used by Gehirn to fuel himself with previously un-thought-of jealously levels, to the point it would disrupt the 3rd impact during instrumenta...

Re: Devil's advocate question regarding the "Big Irony Bomb"
I think this scene cannot be made sense of with anime as the medium, but would make more sense in a live action adult-ish drama. Anime can't really display that Shinji betrays his attraction to women by trying to avoid them because he feels too emberrased about himself. Or show how he has learned to...

Re: Evangelion phenomenon
1) Hints have shown that Rei's body is partially made of Quantum Particles. Quantum Particles have a quality called Superposition, which means they can be in 2 places at once, and where they appear depend on the observer. Also there are theories that state theoretically Quantum Particles can travel ...

Re: Does Shinji accept Instrumentality in the TV ending? My argument V Contradicting supplementary material
My counter argument is that while you pretty much define the central dilemma of Shinji's instrumentality, I think your viewpoint about ego annihilation, instrumentality, complementation, and so forth feels a little too mathematical to account for the fact that Shinji is having this conversation in w...

Re: Where Ireul came from
I'd say episode 01 only started dark as something Shinji and Misato were meant overcome as a team. You've got to start at the bottom to create an upwards slope. I'll buy that 14 to 17 is more plateau than decent but it feels like a primer for descent. At this point Rei Asuka and Shinji aren't really...

Re: Where Ireul came from
This event marks the first time Gendo betrays Seele generally, and openly in front of their faces at the meeting (all the while maintaining his obvious facade) . While Seele is shocked and even enraged, they ultimately do nothing. It demonstrates how much Seele truly relies on Gendo despite admonish...

Re: Question about watching Evangelion
I don't think anyone can fully grasp 100% of the plot no matter how many times they watch it. Even if being told things point blank by official material or being explained certain ideas generally accepted by core fans, there are just too many gaps and reaches to rid doubt about what really happened ...

Re: Is Rei’s hair literally blue?
Blue could have been associated with water and gives artistic sense of clearness or lacking in color, without the hair actually being clear or lacking in color. It then represents Rei's lack of energy, or lack of color to her personality, or lack of social development for her age, but she still has ...
