About Zeruel in the second film.

Zeruel ate EVA 00 to get around the self destruct in NERV. How did it know to do that? The Angels are neither mindless nor stupid, and most of them counter whatever beat the previous one. Sachiel was unstoppable by conventional weapons, Shamshel's whips meant blindly charging in was a bad idea, Rami...

Re: Evangelion:3.0+1.0 Trailer 3 Discussion

I certainly hope that happens, but I doubt it'll be that straightforward.

I'm just wondering if the final boss will be another human led army like last time, or if Anno goes where I think he is and the final boss is instead a fusion of all four Adams...

Re: Evangelion:3.0+1.0 Trailer 3 Discussion

Interesting color parallels with Asuka and Mari. They're suiting up to save the world, in a well lit room, with bright white plugsuits. Kaworu and Shinji were wearing dark colored plugsuits, and we're descending to help Gendo destroy the world. The new Mass Production Evangelion unit is way worse th...

Re: Stuff that you would like to see in Evangelion 3.0+1.0

I agree with most of UrsuArctos's ideas. But since this thread is what I want and not what will happen: Shinji and Misato should reconcile in some fashion. If nothing else I want the two of them to finally have a screaming match over all the mistakes they made in their fucked up horrible relationshi...

Re: Will the good guys kill Gendo? [split]

Because Gendo died in a most karmic fashion in the other two major timelines. The real trouble is by that point his death was pointless; in the anime he'd already started Third Impact and in the manga the same thing happened. Also we don't really have good guys in this setting, just marginally less ...

Re: Avant1 Ver0706 Kaworu Tangent

I didn't address them because they ignore a lot of things the actual cast and crew said about Kaworu in particular, or bring in works/anecdotes that no one ever said had anything to do with Evangelion. For example, he knows Shinji because according to Akira Ishida, he's been through all this before....

Re: Do you think Yui enjoys being in Unit 1?

What's ironic about all this is if NGE2 is correct, Yui's not going to like much of anything in a little longer. S2 Engines play merry hell with memories and brains, especially Lilith-based brains. She's going to end up a giant purple vegetable before long.

And it serves her right.

Re: Avant1 Ver0706 Kaworu Tangent

To get this out of the way, Kaworu's no predator. Gendo is a predator, especially in this continuity. Kaworu doesn't understand enough about how humans work to be that kind of manipulative bastard. There's no indication in the actual movie that he wants anything horrible from Shinji. He's the last A...

WILLE's relationship to their pilots. (Mild Spoilers)

There's a throwaway line in the new preview that makes me wonder. The line was something like "I liked it better when only the pilots wore these shameful suits!" And yeah, you could easily rationalize that as one of the new bridge bunny dudes being bitter about the skintight bodysuit, but ...

Re: Impact trigger disrepancy

You're quite right. Some of the things he says do seem to be true. His description of what the Human Instrumentality Project is supposed to do jives with everything Seele and Gendo have said about it, although he then leads Shinji to the conclusion that it's Gendo's doing instead of Seele's own pet...

Re: Did Asuka and Misato really hate Shinji in 3.0?

Do Asuka and Misato HATE him? No. Are they pissed at Shinji? Yes. The real question is if they have a right to. Shinji's made his mistakes and done a lot of evil shit, both by accident and not, but the trade-off is Misato's more or less been using him for the past three movies. She projected all of ...

Re: Impact trigger disrepancy

Again, that implies Kaworu had malicious intent and we know from the original series and in 3.33 he really didn't NEED Shinji's help to trigger 4th Impact. If he wanted to he could have easily done so himself by hijacking EVA-13. But he's not the focus here--I'm more concerned with his line about ma...

Re: Impact trigger disrepancy

Yes, except Kaworu clearly states he wants to undo the events of Third Impact, and is genuinely horrified when he realizes too late what removing the spears will do. He didn't want Fourth Impact to happen and killed himself to stop it. It's almost as if he'd been used and lied to by somebody else--o...

Impact trigger discrepancy

There's no way Shinji Ikari was the one who killed all those people. Okay, hear me out. In 2.22, we see (Near)Third Impact from start to finish. EVA-01 transforms, absorbs Zeruel, cracks open the Doors of Guf and then is stated by Ritsuko to be preparing to end all life on the planet. However, it la...

Re: Did anybody in NERV honestly care about Shinji as a person?

Not after he went on a rampage and threatened to destroy Nerv Headquarters in a childish rage. That was Rebuild, not the original, and that happened after NERV threw one of their pilots under the bus. Anime!Shinji didn't kill anybody but Kaworu and Kaworu begged him to do so. And honestly I'm surpr...

Just about everyone cares about Shinji, they just have other priorities and very different ways of showing it. Yes, even Gendo.


If Gendo cared he wouldn't have abandoned him in the first place, or shot down every reconnection attempt, no matter how feeble.

Did anybody in NERV honestly care about Shinji as a person?

I do wonder this, not in a shipping or sympathetic sense but just as a statement of fact. From day one Shinji was only present because they had a use for him. They're a military organization run by a grade-A bastard with no heart, that's how they function. But the rest of the series is what I wonder...

Like, having read the manga and seen Rebuild, looking back I have to wonder how Shinji was the only person that didn't know Touji was the Fourth Child or Kaworu was the final angel. Everyone who met Kaworu knew from the get go something was up with him, even Rei 3, and she was almost a zombie up...

Either Tabris, due to being a really lame antagonist (would have been better off had they actually BUILT UP to him being the last angel) or probably Ireul---that one was just there so we could get some exposition about NERV's background, not that the audience was that worried about it.
