No, you didn't post anything that rules out the possibility of past timelines

Staff edit: split tangent from Adams thread: http://forum.evageeks.org/post/867570/What-are-the-Adams/#867570 But MP Evas don't exist in Rebuild, at least not the same ones from EoE. We got a teaser for a very different type of MP Eva in the teaser for 3.0+1.0. Why would an MP Eva be there at the b...

Even though an MP Eva would make even less sense. If 3I from EoE and 2I are supposed to be one in the same, why is it one had a beginning, middle, and end over Hakone, while the other appears to still be going, if only paused, with a giant rainbow portal over Antarctica. There's also Misato, since ...

This looks just like this . The blood stain from the geyser is even there in that first image. Doesn't look remotely the same besides being humanoid, the head/neck is way too long. MP evas have the correct neck/head length. More importantly: the adam on the moon (if it is an adam, anyway) has its a...

My first post had nothing to do with adams, you shouldn't have moved it.

Oh. I didn't consider that point because it's so apparently incorrect from the first moment you consider it

Why does Shikinami need any of that? Hikari was similarly “disserviced” in NGE’s narrative, and her character doesn’t feel stifled by bad storytelling. That's because Hikari isn't a main character, lol. I'm starting to believe there's something anomalous about Asuka in Rebuild. There are strange th...

We know the Adam on the moon was shot up there from 2I's epicenter in a geysor of blood. They were scattered all over and landed in random places. There is no better explanation for the chalk outline currently. Whether or not the outline is related to Unit 01 is another matter, but what else would ...

Don't think that chalk outline has anything to do with adams, it's still around after 01 is completed? Eva assembly is a years long process. Doesn't make sense.
Lilith is still missing her legs so something big was budded off from her, don't know what it can be besides 01.

Staff edit: split from new Unit-02 image thread. http://forum.evageeks.org/post/866840/First-official-image-of-New-Unit-2/#866840 I find this image really interesting because it looks like 02 now has a similar wide jaw set like 01 and it makes me wonder if its going to take on 01's role in human in...

All that was in NGE. We're talking about RoE. I'm pretty sure all of the things he stated are in rebuild as well. 01 and 00 both go berserk on their own, so they have sentience. Rei says some shit about EVAs and souls when she's talking to Asuka in the uncomfortably long elevator ride, I'm too lazy...

Unit 02 does not have the same connection to Lilith as Unit 01, so nope. Rei cannot sync with just any soul, but herself and herself? Sure. Shinji can sync with Rei in Unit-00 also probably because of the Yui connection. It all comes into a circle between Shinji, Rei, Lilith, and Yui. Asuka and Uni...

They both have those big shiny cores on them but it's explicitly stated that two souls are required to open up the seal surrounding Liliths chamber, so Unit-13 couldn't posses souls for itself as that'd make Shinji and Kaworu redundant.. I don't remember who says this but there's no guarantee they'...

Likewise, Rei can sync with Unit-01 because they share the connection with Lilith, as well as a potential maternal relationship between Yui and Rei. Rei would have piloted 02 if it were the case that she can simply sync with any soul. But she can't. Asuka even says it in Rebuild when 02 is being fr...

Why do you think Shinji saw distorted Rei ('berserk Rei' from NGE) in his dreams while he was in the hospital bed following the first 01 berserk? Why do you think Mari's plugsuit core glows when she is inside EVA-02 and it goes 'beast mode'? If the plugsuit 'cores' in Rebuild are decorations and not...

There are clear hints that there's souls inside the Evas, I just don't think the Rebuilds had the time to show all of it in-depth. For example, directly after Shinji's first berserk in Rebuild, he dreams about the 'distorted Rei' and wakes up sweating, implying he saw that during the berserk. In NGE...

Sachi#867453 wrote:How do the cores on the plugsuits suggest anything about the Evas?

I write about it in thread/19179/Yui-Lilith-Soul-Gestalt-Rei-and-Eva-01s-Souls/. The cores on the suit appear to correspond with the soul(s) inside the pilot's Eva.

Arcadia's legacy#867438 wrote:Is there any evidence to suggest any of the Eva's besides Unit-01 contain souls in them in NTE?

Yep, all of the plugsuits except Asuka's contain one or more cores. Shinji's and Rei's contain a large and small core, and Mari's contains a large core.

If anything EVA-02 seems to contain a soul that's in tune with Mari rather than Asuka.
Asuka's plugsuit uniquely contains no core at all. Every other plugsuit does.
But Mari's plugsuit she uses for 02 has a core, which glows during the 'beast mode' sequence.

1.0 and 2.0 were fun. 2.0's deviations from NGE were pretty good although I don't like what was done to Asuka's character. Some things lead me to believe it might make more sense in 3.0+1.0, but as of now her character arc in the rebuilds is just bad. Everything except the aesthetic level of her per...
