Well that sucks. :huh: There goes the only logical explanation of how Mari can drink and eat snacks in her entry plug. The other logical explanation of how Mari can drink and eat snacks in her entry plug, is that they are all closed containers with straws. It is not that hard to imagine that the st...

Now back on topic : have you noticed that Fuyutsuki never call Shinji by its name, he always calls him by his pilot codename : "Third Boy". To be honest, I found it far more interesting that Gendo hardly ever uses Shinji's name. I can only recall two occasions, each of which is very s...

I have a question about the following sentence by Kaworu. 00:52:54 {Kaworu} You may deny it, but humanity thinks otherwise. What is the literal meaning of the word that is translated as "humanity" here? The reason I am asking this is because some Evangelion continuities use an unconvention...

Which is why Gendo expected the Impact to stop, and which demonstrates that he intentionally double-crossed SEELE into mass suicide.

Except that Seele had a backup. The dual entry system meant the impact event would continue until BOTH pilots were removed or killed. They (both Seele and NERV) already accounted for the possibility of a DSS choker. The Door of Guf did not close when Kaworu speared Eva-13, it didn't clo...

Very interesting theory, and one that I have somewhat skirted in the "Hidden Agendas" thread. I have a few things to add. 1. Perhaps Kaworu never responded to Asuka because he never wanted anyone outside of NERV or SEELE to know of his existence. I don't recall Asuka, Mari, Misato or R...

My own take on that last line by Asuka suggests that the "L-barrier" value she measures with her mystery device is lethal to normal humans, but not to Evangelion pilots (who have somehow become different). What would happen to a normal human in the immediate area of an Impact is le...

Slight disagreement here. Eva-06 is launched (with a spear) to stop Zeruel. IMO, Seele has no intention of letting an Angel reach it's goal. That's why Eva-06 has a spear with it. It happened to come in handy for something else, but I imagine it would have immobilized whatever it wa...

The shot right after is Fuyu telling Gendo that Kaworu made contact with Shinji. Gendo seems to completely not care what Kaworu is up to and thus he's allowed to wonder around freely. I think that has more to do with Gendo and Fuyutsuki doing SEELE's bidding against their will, with "S...

The only time I remember seeing "Fuyu is Shinji's dad" in a fanfic was a ~3-400 word crackfic called "I Know The Truth", or something like that. I think I remember. That was from the same person who believed Evangelion somehow influenced Christianity, and was directly addres...

I thought the giant white engine that sprouted from 00's back were far more ridiculous than the Beast Mode. At least they established the beast mode in the previous movie so it wasn't a surprise, other than looking like a cat. When the white jetpack sprouted out, it was the only time I look...

Then I think we are in agreement on most major points. Thank you for pointing out that the shot of Rei in the control room was in a different scene. I guess my comments on that should be disregarded. The one thing we disagree on is a mnor matter, really, and mostly speculation anyway. But I would st...

Another reply to ElMariachi: - About SEELE and the launche of Mark-06: Mark-06 is launched because it is finally operational, and ready to start Instrumentality as soon as the last Angels are defeated. (Remember, Kaworu is an Angel, so Mark-06 already possesses the spark of divinity that Unit-01...

Are you certain that the barrier is something Lilith created - I thought there were loads of construction cranes left parked on its surface (implying that not only is the barrier man-made, but that enough people were around at that point post-N3I to build it). I was merely speculating. Your...

I find it highly inappropriate to associate Gendo with that song, because Shinji and Rei were not deliberately involved in Near-Third Impact, but merely started it in their innocence. The use of this song in that scene perfectly reflects this innocence. Gendo embodies the very opposite of innocence,...

Are you deliberately alluding to "Tsubasa Wo Kudasai" with that choice of words?

As for anti-AT fields, I count them as a type of AT field anyway. You shouldn't. They're exact opposites. The way AT fields appear to work in NGE and Rebuild of Evangelion is that they are near-impenetrable shells. If two of them collide (like in any regular Evangelion vs. Angel battle&...

What if Unit-13 never had an AT field, but instead generates an Anti-AT field? Unit-13 not possessing an AT field explains the following: - the need for RS Hopper drones; - Mari's Anti-AT shells pass through it harmlessly. However, Unit-13 generating an Anti-AT field explains a few more things: ...

Personally, I don't think she acts particularly mature at any given moment (at least more so than she was in 2.0). I feel like she might be a little bit mentally older, given her sort of motherly approach to interacting with Shinji (am I the only one that noticed that?), You are...

I consider myself to be in the "camp" that views LCL exposure as the source of the "curse of Eva", and I can offer a supporting argument, based on Rei. Consider Rei in Rebuild 2.0. At the marine nature preserve, we are told that the fish there are only able to survive inside thei...
