I presume Adam's Chamber of Guf contained individual souls for Herself and the Angels that are born, whereas Lilith's Guf either only contained two souls... one being Hers, the other being a singular soul that the first Lilin-based life form and then life forms wound up using to live and in the proc...

[quote="Reichu#896726#896726"] (This is what kills Lilith? I guess? Somehow, maybe?? Very unclear.) /quote] I think Mk.06 being referred to as the True Evangelion and wearing Lilith's mask from NGE during its development is a clue that Lilith's DNA was "plunged" into Mk.06 using ...

The string of the necklace could've been fastened to either side of the cross by some means other than running it through the hole. There may not have ever been a hole going completely from one side of the cross to the other, but rather two shallow hallows on either side. There is never a shot of th...

I've reread the the chapter with your recomendations in mind. I still believe the figure is Yui, I'm basing it on the fact that the being wanted Shinji to stay and when Shinji is in the sea looking at Yui and baby Shinji she says you could still join us if you want to. But then again it could be yu...

Rereading that conversation between Rei and Unit-01 in Volume 08, I think it's pretty clear that who she is talking to isn't Yui, but Unit-01 itself as the "offspring" of Lilith/Lilith clone. Rei's soul was originally residing within Unit-01 (and before that, Lilith), and so she was Unit-0...

Obvious to you, perhaps, but not to godless heathens / unwashed philistines such as myself. :devil: (You'd think that Evangelion would have gotten me to read the Bible by now, but... sigh.) Anyway, thanks for pointing this out! Cool stuff. I'll look deeper into the allusions you mention. Eh, I just...

So, we have Eva-13’s transcendental Awakening contrasted against Kaworu’s complete, blood-soaked Fall. Also note: Evangelion 13, 13th Angel. These things are connected. ...\ I imposed our favorite gods on top of it this time for the hell of it. ( Here’s the unaltered original. ) Pay special attenti...

The forbidden fusion of Adam and Lilith is capable of causing an impact, but doesn't appear to guarantee it (it seems like it's up to Rei?, who in this case leaves the choice up to Shinji). The MP Evas marking Unit-01 with the Holy Stigmata (creating makeshift Doors of Guf) and collectively forming ...

Maybe it's because I was already seriously, intensely depressed and suffering from terrible social anxiety, social withdrawal, and was overall in a really bad place whenever I watched NGE+EoE for the first time back when I was 14 (14 years ago now) as a result of suffering a concussion, but if anyth...

I have to ask, how often are people actually justified in their actions, and who gets to determine that? Typically the younger a person is, the less justified their actions appear to be when taken into consideration--especially those young people who have undergone a greater than average number of t...

Only idea that comes to mind for me is if everybody gets tanged and are allowed to be reborn if they have the will to live like in EoE. The process of death and rebirth is the only thing that will allow for something like that, both in a thematic/philosophical sense and a literal physical sense in-u...

When you're reading a translation, you want to try and avoid being too exact with the way you interpret the wording. I had always taken that line to mean what the Netflix translation seems to clarify for us with a more accurate translation. If the suit had simply been what remained after Shinji diss...

Rei's segment during the beginning of episode 25 is an excellent representation of Lacanian psychoanalytic theory. She even starts off looking into a mirror and questioning if the reflection is her, which is about as direct of an allusion to the Mirror Stage as it can get. In truth, I think Anno was...

From what I understand, the Angels would've awoken in 2015 whether or not Second Impact occurred. The Dead Sea Scrolls seemed to indicate as much. Based off the information found in the scrolls, SEELE decided the best way to limit the potential damage was to initiate Second Impact themselves and to ...

Now that I think about it, that means the White Moon would not have been buried under the ice of Antarctica for the whole 4 billion years it has been on Earth. There would have been portions of Earth's history where it would have been exposed, like during the time of the dinosaurs. So how is it tha...

I may edit this post or make another after taking some time to read the responses so far, but here's my take: SEELE: SEELE's plan involves killing off the old Gods and merging all of humanity into a single amalgamated being that becomes God as the artificially induced next (and presumably final) ste...

The timing of the events and cinematography, as well as later on by the dialog provided by Ritsuko in a conversation with Misato following Shinji's reconstitution suggests that it was in fact Misato clutching Shinji's plugsuit, grieving over his loss, and pleading for him to come back that prompted ...

Interesting find! I think I've seen this before but had forgotten about it and not really given it much thought. There's a lot having to do with the South Pole that is similar to the Evangelion plot it seems. It's hard telling how much of it Anno was exposed to and used as inspiration for the plot. ...

Honestly I think Unit-02 having four eyes is a case of the design simply looking cool. If it actually was meant to have any kind of symbolic meaning, I think considering the circumstances surrounding it's introduction and first appearance in the series, the fact that both Shinji and Asuka pilot it t...

Given Asuka is a Captain, iirc, in the Rebuilds, then it wouldn't make sense for Shinji to be considered her senior/senpai by anybody . Not quite sure how Japanese honorifics work, but if anything, Shinji should probably be referring to her as Shikinami-sama if anything. That's totally ignoring the ...
