if I had to guess, the removal of the spear from Eva01 would resume the impact, leading to proper 3I. That would make Eva01, in which Shinji is absorbed, the trigger. But third impact is about to be resumed by an angel in 3.0, so it leads me to think that third impact proper was caused by that ange...

I don't really understand this thing about Shinji being the trigger, maybe it'll be somewhat explained in -46h. We see that every time the impact is resumed (near third, fourth, final), it needs a new trigger (an angel sacrifice to awaken an eva). There's no reason third impact proper would be any d...

They were kinda making things up on the fly so I wouldn't be surprised yeah...

The circle is not the same, in 2.0 it's gigantic and in the last movie much smaller and not in the same location. I don't know if it's a mistake but something might have changed over there during third impact.

https://i.imgur.com/idTeFPo.png This scene looks somewhat familiar, there are a lot of visual clues in "Come to me" (including Rei's death and Shinji turning the page on his sadness): https://i.imgur.com/zOdCyr0.png Maybe Unit 01 reawakens before it is sent to space? In the video it looks...

I saw this on reddit without much comments about it, does anyone know what it's about? Is it official?

Also, in 3.0+1.0, the "purification" of souls starts when the Black Moon Spears goes through the Gates of Guff. Before Eva-13 impaled itself, it was rising up with the Spears of Longinus towards the Gates of Guf. It's more like the black moon itself was rising towards the gate. I still do...

It's probably going to be a glorified clip with barely, if any dialogue. Maybe to gauge the fandom interest in a potential movie/manga/whatever else covering the time skip events?

It reminds me of this:


The right one is from here:

Another interesting thing: the trees behind the Midori lookalike seems to be dead, or hibernating, yet Japan is supposed to be in an eternal Summer. I wonder what's up with that, did N3I killed the vegetation around Tokyo-3, or is she in a place where there are still seasons, or at least an eternal...

I didn't notice the red rings at first, but something's clearly going on in the sky. But it looks too light to be third impact...

Also Lilith is missing her legs in this version as well.

Well, I personnaly don't expect anything too grounded; I like me some funky action sequences, but they need to serve a purpose, something 3.0 does well without overstaying their welcome. It doesn't feel very warranted in the last movie, especially the mess with the mark.07 series and those silly jum...

In retrospect wasn't first impact the crash landing of the black moon on earth, messing everything up with Adam and creating the "real" moon as a result millions/billions of years later?

In the following scene when the 44Bs and 4444C appear, the tension gets higher: the music ratchets up and Ritsuko's assessment is much more dire. I wonder what the logistics are behind them moving to Paris and if they are just one shot evas made for the purpose of defending a dead city (why?) or if...

It'd be fantastic if they'd ever cover that period. But I would also like a flashback covering 2nd impact; we still have no clue what happened or even what the Adams are.

It feels very incomplete, there's barely anything about Wille's assault on Nerv HQ.

The Spears being different was the first hint for Kaworu that the situation was going in a bad direction. Kaworu doesn't exactly know what will happen when Eva-13 takes that Spears, but he knows it wouldn't be good. I never really understood what Kaworu expected in 3.33. Did he think Gendo was at h...

Hmm... in all cases when Misato (or Ritsuko, not sure) calls it the gates of hell, she says it's somewhat already open, and it's way before the spears fall into it. From what I understand the spears only start the impact (the release of the purple infinities), it doesn't open the gate. That might ex...

Yeah that's probably it. Anyway, I rewatched a part of shin, and they called the door of guf the gates of hell, so I'm a bit confused. I thought it referenced the antarctica "portal" that seemed to have stayed open after the second impact and from which the four crosses emerge in 2.0. Ther...
