Too little time to form any meaningful relationship.
Unless the Final spans across at least half a year or so.

There will be no shipping. Mari and Asuka are 28 (or so - don't remember the timeline exactly) years old. If they have any interest in Shinji it is improbable to be romantic or sexual. Sakura? Really? Unless "true" Rei which resides inside EVA-01 (or Shinji's head) ...

Shinji in 3.0 is far less relevant to the plot than before, he's basically reduced to the role of living MacGuffin kidnapped by the bad guys that must be saved by the good guys before the bad guys uses him in their nefarious plans, with the added twist that the MacGuffing fight against the good...

ElMariachi I think Shinji didn't knew what injuries she sustained exactly. As for Asuka, her logic goes like this: "I am a woman I don't have to say or explain anything. All men must have telepathic abilities and read my thoughts and intentions." Seriously. That's what women u...

Mari is irrelevant. As are other characters who don't interact with Shinji directly.
She was tolerable addition in 2.0 since everyone thought that she was introduced for a purpose. Now we see that Mari's role is to be a model for selling her figurines and to steal Asuka's screentime.

Q Asuka views Shinji merely as a stupid immature child. He's like a call from a distant past. That explains her anger which culminated in an attempt to hit him and was caused by the memory of that accident with Bardiel. It was Shinji's fault she got injured. And he's overconfident in the...

Man, what a fantastic ending!

Also, both SEELE and Kaworu were doublecrossed when the latter put on the DSS choker.
Apparently, without it, Kaworu couldn't forcefully stop the Impact partly.

Maybe you're right and Lances do act like moderators for Impacts.
Still, what we get in Q with 2 LoL is what SEELE actually wanted and Kaworu apparently didn't.
+ LoC morphed into LoL.
= SEELE and Gendo knew that, Kaworu didn't.
Question: who doublecrossed who?

Is there a specific image proving those resemble Eva-01? Because Mark-06 and Eva-01 are very much alike.

Kozo said that nearly everything went as SEELE expected, that's an important nuance. Yes, a nuance easily explained by the fact that SEELE didn't expect their plan to fail. And how was he gonna use those two spears to "repair the world"? Without an awakened EVA, these things are j...

He says it when he realises. Maybe that means there was no Cassius to begin with. Lances tend to change their shape. Remember EoE. Kaworu and Wille could have been led to believe that was Cassius when in fact it wasn't. SEELE planned this ahead. They've put 12th Angel into stasis so they co...

Yet somehow it was used after 2.0 to transform the landscape into core and create the FoIs And where did you get that Idea? There are no signs of Eva-01 doing anything. What we see in terminal Dogma is 12th angel merged with Mark-06 and Lilith. Wouldn't that mean that it also destroyed the Frui...

But unfortunately Instrumentality is what SEELE wanted First, SEELE and Gendo had different visions of instrumentality since NGE. They just name it that way. I believe that's the case in Rebuild. Second, we aren't entirely sure that the catastrohic event of the timeskip was an attempt at re...

The difference between LoL and LoC
Lance of Cassius destroyes everything Angel-related. That's why N3I was stopped. Eva-01 lost it's Zeruel part.
Lance of Longinus doesn't harm Angels. It puts them in a state of indefinite slumber though. Proof: Lilith.

Gentlemen! Regarding spears and what effect they had on Kaworu's expectations. I now see the difference between a pair of LoL and a Lol + LoC. LoC would have killed the 12th Angel. 2 LoL wouldn't. Wille didn't expect 12th Angel to be alive too. 12th Angel + Eva-13 = 4th Impact. Lances a...

I'm back.
Crowd: *OH GOD PLEASE NO*

Anyway, I would just like to add that the more I lurk about Q, the more I appreciate all the little details and hints put into it.
That said, it's still a trainwreck of a movie and all my previous points still stand.

Thumbs up to what NemZ said.

He's probably trying to get attention at the fact that the SDAT is playing track 28, something it never did before in both the original series and previous Rebuild movies. This. In 2.0 it was track 27, absent in NGE. Right after Mari returned the SDAT to Shinji. Shinji thought the damn thing is...
