Some speculation on Gendo as to events unfolding into 4.0:
* Gendo's master-plan - Karowu realises that both Lances are now of Longinus type, during the end of 3.33 and even remarks "I'd expect nothing less of the King of Lilin". I speculate that ReiQ, under orders from Gendo, replaces the Cassius type with a second Longinus in preparation for Karowu's descent to the 13th. I believe this holds real potential, as ReiQ is "waiting for orders" in pretty much all of her free time. It would seem Gendo has been having her perform quite a few orders, hmm...
* Fall of SEELE - Directly a result of Gendo's plan when 4th Impact is initiated. Gendo has Fuyutski deactivate SEELE, effectively eliminating them from the game permanently. SEELE's agent, Karowu, is destroyed as the 13th as part of Lilith's contract and SEELE, believing 4th Impact is truly upon them (likely as unknowing as Karowu about the Lances), allow themselves to be destroyed as they are regarded as partaking of the Fruit of Knowledge. Gendo even says that everything happened within prediction.
* The use of the Lances - If the film does start with a flash-back about 06 vs the 12th, then during this time the use of the Lances could be explained. This could also help explain Impact Mechanics, tying another loose end. It'll also explain how Lilith's core was not destroyed, but her body was.
Her core is absorbed by Eva 13 when it enters pseudo-evolved mode, and subsequently lost when Mari forcibly ejects Shinji as Eva 13 goes tumbling down into who-knows-where with both Lances of Longinus with it. This is heavily backed-up by Ritsuko's comment "4th Impact has been avoided... But we don't know whom to thank".
If Gendo master-minded these situations then he now has a damaged Eva 13, two Lances of Longinus and a Lance of Cassius. He also has full reign over how things will proceed according to the Dead Sea Scrolls. I honestly believe Gendo is going to play a massive role in 4.0.
Some speculation on Kaji in 4.0:
* Wille - I'm beginning to have myself, without a doubt, convinced that Kaji is the master-mind behind Wille and that their base of operations (considering how much naval fire-power Wille had/has) is the Research Facility that Kaji takes everyone to in 2.22. A flash-back could easily show how Near 3rd Impact eventually leads to the 12th Angel vs Karowu and how subsequently NERV is divided.
It would be pointless to kill off a character like Kaji so off-handedly when he's someone the fans WANT to see and learn about.
* Wunder - I speculate that Wunder is in-fact part Angel. At the start of 2.22, we see Kaji working at Acheron, wherein the 3rd Angel has been contained. It's heavily hinted that its escape and subsequent destruction are orchestrated by Kaji on Gendo's behalf. This leads me to believe that Kaji has knowledge of Angel containment. If Wunder is indeed part Angel, it would explain why they need Eva 01 to power it in order to generate an AT-field. The design of Wunder is VERY organic, with its wings and rib-cage like design.
Ritsuko also says "Wunder's original master!", which is quite cryptic until you think about it.
Take a look at the new head Eva 09 grows. It looks near-exact to the massive face/head at the front-end of Wunder. Now, we know that Angel's cores can be held within Eva units by the fact Eva 06 has contained the 12th Angel, which Mari tells us "The whole thing is a Core".
Asuka is also quoted as saying this when she is fighting 09 in 777-Mode.
This was likely SEELE's attempt at taking Wille out of the game, as during the entire show-down, ReiQ loses control of her unit and the SEELE emblem appears inside her Entry Plug, which says to me that they had activated a dormant over-ride programme thus giving full control of the vessel to the Angel. The same thing happens within Wunder's helm, as they lose control.
I know this speculation will likely be debunked as the terminology "Adams Vessel" is thrown around several times during this sequence, but I'm still not convinced as to what an Adam's Vessel actually is... at any rate, they must be Angelic in nature.
* "Let's go to where the Lilin are!" - Asuka's final line in 3.33. I speculate she's taking Shini, and letting ReiQ tag along, to Wille HQ (the Research Facility that Kaji takes everyone to in 2.22 as a treat, that's now likely a MASSIVE military base/settlement for the surviving Lilin). Here, Shinji will be once again confront by Misato, Ritsuko and Sakura. I'm betting Sakura tries to defend Shinji, whilst Asuka and Mari sit back and watch things play out before Kaji steps in to defend Shinji.
Brining things full-circle once more. This would also give us the chance to learn about the surviving Lilin and what transpired with Misato, Ritsuko and Kaji during the 14 year time-gap.
If my speculations are correct about Kaji, then we have a plot-device to drive onwards to a finale between Wille and NERV, including a reunion of Rei II and Shinji, ReiQ having a self-realisation about what/who she is and a final show-down in which Kaji orders Wunder to be sacrificed in order to deploy Eva 01 against the MP series that'll be under Gendo's command.
I expect Kaji will go down with the ship with Misato in his arms. ;)
ANYWAY. Enough fan-wanking by me.
What do you guys think?
