......Eva-13? Unless you're talking about the Gates or something.

When Mari is inside Eva-08 during its re-outfitting, teasing Asuka about her reunion with Shinji, you can see her customizing the GUI to be pink. In 2.0, she also switches Eva-02's GUI to pink at some point offscreen

Well, that would give ReiQ something to do. :D If only she were so lucky. Rei 2 lets us know in Ha that she can't live without access to her capsule, and since Rei Q is a similar "model", presumably the same holds for her. UYCTM has a mysterious shot of Rei's hand crumbling apart, which m...

Yeah, the 9th Angel incident made it pretty clear that Shinji cared about Asuka -- he just couldn't express it in a healthy way given the force of his hatred for his father. And the end of Q brought the two of them back together in a mutual survival situation that starts with Asuka saving him from r...

People also tends to forget the huge fleet of heavy cargo helicopters supplying the Wunder fleet with tons of materials at the beginning of the movie. I didn't mention the helicopter part specifically but I did bring this up in my post. possibly even a full, working JA unit. "Possibly"? T...

I'm pretty sure Asuka and Mari "dying" and Shinji being forced back into Eva-01 is something that directly involves and affects Shinji. :p

Obligatory "Waking up in the morning".

My own extremely over-elaborate guess: 02 and 08 will do their fusion dance to take on 13. It doesn't go so well, naturally. Somehow or other -- maybe via Fuyutsuki using expospeak to taunt them, or Mari revealing just how much she really does know -- the truth comes out that Eva-13's base body (i.e...

Yeah, it seems pretty inevitable on a dramatic level. All the foreshadowing for the recombination of the four Adams is just the cherry on top. (I.e., Asuka needs to be returned to Eva-13, and Mari to Mk.06 which is fused into 13.)

I expect both Asuka and Mari to fall in battle and get taken into Eva-13, but death is a pretty flexible concept in Eva so they'll probably be fine. :p

Wunder is built on top of some kind of ancient Adams-powered weapon, and Eva-01 is an Adams -- an awakened one, at that. Either Wille go after Eva-01 in orbit or they try to get at the other Adams that are in the possession of Nerv HQ, but Wille need the Wunder to launch a proper assault on Nerv HQ,...

I have to apologize, Shun! I made the dumb mistake of jumping to conclusions before reading the actual analysis, which is obviously a bad idea and I shouldn't have done it. I've started to look at your writings, and I'm really impressed. You assemble a lot of observation, information, and ideas, and...

Asuka doesn't age and there are no signs of injury to her face even though we saw the Angel attach to her there, so I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say she has a healing factor.

I didn't come up with the idea, but: maybe these new plugsuits have swappable palettes like Captain Marvel's costume?

The whole "every creative decision that CAN be merchandised exists SOLELY so that it can be merchandised" meme is so overplayed. There is nothing subversive about it or the whole "look how cynically woke I am, sheeple!" 'tUdE anymore. The final image in this tweet for one shows j...

I have the Japanese handy, but most users can't read it so I don't post it unless there's a need. Fuyutsuki says quite flatly that you can't reverse time -- there's no going backward. One has to rebuild instead, and this is difficult. This difficulty is why Gendo has to make the sacrifices he does. ...

FUYUTSUKI: Breaking apart the world is a trivial matter. Rebuilding it, however, is not so easy. As with time itself, the course of the world cannot be reversed. Alternate: Destroying the world is a simple matter. But rebuilding it, that isn't so easy. The world can be reversed no more than time.

BoJack Horseman is over, and everything is worse now.

The way Japanese deals with quantities.is pretty alien to English speakers. If they borrow an English term for something, it will be a static form of that word -- the word itself will not change to reflect differing quantities. So whether they borrow the singular or plural form doesn't especially ma...

The First "Children" is Rei, and Rei exists in plural; she is literally children. Since Rei established the title, the subsequent pilots get to be "Children" also. There might be other subtextual layers to it, but that's the big one.
