The Fan of The Death
I noticed this some time ago, but I couldn't find any kind of reference related to this, that's why I'm asking here.
I'm talking about the fan which appears behind Kaji at the time of his death:
In "Death Note", we can see it a few minutes before Kira's death:
And then, in Silent Hill 2 (the videogame):
I can't remember exactly when it takes place, but we know "death" is sort of the main subject in the wholoe story.
In the two previous cases (Kaji and Kira) they were both waiting for their death.
What do you think?
Is it a reference to an old move or something like that or Anno just did it because it looks nice?

I always thought the Death Note example was a reference to Eva. Never noticed the Silent Hill one, though.

I took a screencap from the SH 2 teaser. I guess it takes place in the "prision stage"... and I think I've seen it in SH 3 too.
There could be a huge possibility that Akira Yamoka watched Evangelion :P but I'm not sure at all.

This thread makes me want to sing about the future in front of a giant fan.

It's an additional horror element added solely for the Korean audiences.

Thanks! That was the answer I was looking for :)
I'd never imagine that it was called "fan death". I can't believe people thought a fan could kill you because of a vortex which sucks the oxygen :/

But it makes sense. The sound of the timer as a countdown to death.
Perhaps someone used this "urban legend" in a movie and then it became popular in this kind of scenes related to death.

I'm pretty sure that most people don't really believe the "fan death" theory anymore; Wikipedia said that it was simply an urban legend. All cultures have little quirky things like that. ;)
Ritsuko: It can't be...an Angel devoured an Eva? That's impossible!
Maya: That's strange. The target's identification signal is turning into Zerogouki's!

(After adding something sexual to a perfectly normal post) "Fixed." --Apparently everybody on this forum.
It is unnerving to be proven wrong, particularly when you are really right and the person who is really wrong is the one who is proving you wrong and proving himself, wrongly, right. Right?
