Actually, philosophically this isn't the case. The soul can easily interact with the physical world without having a reverse relationship to the physical world. I'll try to think of an example and get back on that later. In other words, it's a fallacy to suggest that just because one th...

Actually, I quite like the idea EvaMonkey is proposing. Although I will add, that any citosis occurence which may or may not take place, is conducted through the interference of the Eva's soul in the first place. Basically, it's probable that the soul in question, once in control, takes the ...

Episode #20, yes. While we are told it is due to the fabled "400% synch ratio" (now how is THAT mathematically feasible?), Ritsuko also implies that it is because of Eva herself. Of course, as far as semi-coherent, plot-devices go, it pulls through. I still dont see why it's s...

It's never really made clear WHY Shinji turned into goop. Ritsuko says that it's because the Eva "willed it to happen", but I honestly can't imagine why Yui would have wanted that. Are you refering to Episode 20? If so, then wasn't it the result of a 400% synch with her, r...

Each soul is embedded (or rather contained) within the core ,there is no need for an S^2 to be active for a 'berserker' to occur, it's all to do with a soul going rogue. The umbilical cable and the pilot argueably suppresed the soul from taking control in some cases, thus the rea...

A 'Berserker' is in relation to the soul within the Eva (in 01's case, Yui) taking control and doing things their way. An example of this early on is in episode 2, with Eva 01 decimating Sachiel (before the Angelic wonder forfeits and self- destructs, predator style!) Ori...

Out of curiosity, if the power from the cable or batteries just goes towards nerve impulses and entry plug functioning, what powers the Eva's actual body cells? Also, saying that the Evas "don't need a brain" seems somewhat akin to arguing that humans, in NGE, don't "need...

It would seem to me that any amount of electricity thrown into the central nervous system without management would leave the Evas a twitching mass of flesh and armor just waiting to be thwomped on. Beyond that, I would suggest, if anything at all , that all this work on the central nervous system w...

Am I just being slow, because for the life of me I can't see why this thread is in the NGE sub-forum? http://evageeks.org/ANF-Archive/images/-original.gif Then again, I know nothing of Gunbuster, so there's bound to be an explanation. Both were made by Anno, Gunbuster first, as Evangelion b...

Additionally, I think that somehow 'favoring' Asuka as being a somehow superior lifeform to Shinji or a stronger character is a rather flawed position to take. As far as I can see, Asuka and Shinji are both deeply, tragically flawed people -- neither somehow "better" than the othe...

The way I see it, Shinji is unable to return the feelings of those who impose their attraction on him, because he is also unable to affirm whether or not their really attracted in the first place. We all agree that Asuka quite clearly wanted Shinji, but he wasn't aware of this attraction(bei...

Kawrou provided to Shinji and un-flinching ' love ' which I dont think can be interprated as merely sexual, but a truly hertfelt compassion to Shinji as a human being. Kawrou's envisions on humanity were beggining to expand beyond the 'enemy-factor' that the majority of Angels he...

Well... let's see, no one's worked on episode #06 yet. I'm assuming you'd be transcribing the original subtitles, or do you have Platinum? I dont own any Platinum volumes yet, so I'll have to bear with the original subtitles for now, I'm sure with some minor arrangements you...

How about 'The Calm after the Storm'.

I was thinking of using 'The Social Void' as a metaphor for Toji not calling Shinji when he had the chance aswell.
