Oh god, I was right about an Eva getting combined with the Jet Alone 2 parts... I just managed to be completely wrong about WHICH Eva. <_< Though in retrospect, it should have been super obvious... JA-02, Eva-02...

SPOILER: Show

(New-02 can also be seen with the "explosive charge launcher unit" thingy that's left of the JA torso in Avant1, which sadly is not included in my image above...)

Also, "SPACESUIT" sighted on the wall behind Ritsuko. We going to the Moon? :nyao:

Also also, Sn 299 shows Final Impact taking place. You can see the red Gates of Guf in the background. If Eva-01's still in the Wunder, does that mean it's being induced with Eva-13 through the old control system? Impossible to tell from the trailer alone, but there's no sign of rainbow-colored Gates either; it's all red like at the end of 2.0. Hmm.

I can't really claim credit for this idea (it's BlueBasilisk's), but it's probably Gendo. He's been waiting to use the Key of Nebuchadnezzar. This trailer implies, to me, that Final Impact is triggered by Gendo and Fuyutsuki using the tools directly at their disposal; and Wunder has to struggle to reach the epicenter only after the fact. So... Gendo uses the key on himself (key's biological component, or some aspect thereof, gets sucked up into the chamber and becomes injectable) and goes into Eva-13, and Final Impact can happen as some result of that. This also means that you have Gendo and Kaworu in Eva-13, and Yui and Rei in its counterpart, Eva-01. It's like poetry, it rhymes.

The close-up of the Rei gives me EoE creepy doll vibes.

Any thoughts on who the woman is with Fuyutsuki? Could be Yui?

Edit: Or just Rei I guess lol.
I mean, predictability is the central attraction and the narrative hook that we've all come to expect from the Evangelion franchise. How come Anno can't realize this? Twice? - FreakyFilmFan4ever

The sky is full of the Failures of Infinity being thrown around like they were at Fourth Impact. It's hard to tell because of the bad quality but it's multiple FoIs that are floating in front of the sun.

If Rei Q has an expression that blank 54 scenes into the movie, then I am greatly concerned.

So, Wunder is powered in Sn299.

It means Shinji will get inside Unit 01 after Unit 02 and Wunders fails to do what they are trying to do.

Was winding down from work when I saw this. Thanks for the heads up!

I watched the actual trailer on the EVA-EXTRA android app. Apparently the trailer will be properly available on youtube on the King Record Official Channal (JP) by the 20th July, 8PM Japan time.

source: https://www.evangelion.co.jp/news/shineva_0719/
<2019年7月19日18時20分更新>
公式アプリ「EVA-EXTRA」内にて特報2を公開いたしました。
YouTube(キングレコードオフィシャルチャンネル)公開は明日20日午後を予定しております。

どうぞ、よろしくお願いいたします。


Should probably reiterate that the planned date for the new movie is June 2020 as shown at the end of the trailer and annonced on the official site.

Between "Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki must be testing us" and now Fuyutsuki's...rather sinister look in this trailer, a small part of me thinks the twist is going to be that Fuyutsuki is the true villain.

It's going to be a very red film.

Also, I'm thinking the lack of Unit-01 hints that it will have a crucial role in the end which will not get spoiled.

I could see him maybe betraying Gendo for Yui's sake (whatever the hell Gendo and Fuyu, let alone Yui are planning this time around!) but mentally I'm trying to wrap my brain around other stuff.

More scenes (flashbacks, I guess) to what the other cast besides Shinji were thinking and feeling in Eva Q would certainly be interesting, but at the same time, how well would that fit? (Besides flashbacks, I mean.) Perhaps metaphysical Instrumentality if Instrumentality is still A Thing in these films...

I'm definitely intrigued to see where everything goes, but given how Eva Q went in a direction nobody foresaw, I won't trust anything until the film's actually out :lol:

I wonder if the lack of any story and particularly scarce use of Asuka and Shinji is a good thing or real bummer. I mean, sure they dont want to spoil it in trailers and if so, they are doing great job. Still I wonder. How the hell is Asukas plugsuit white on the shoulders in 3.33 and grey in this trailer. Screw this! I have that plugsuit with white parts. I am not gonna get one with grey. :lol:

If some sort of world altering event happened right now, if Jesus the Christ himself came back to Earth, if aliens visited us, anything of that sort, I wouldn't give a shit.

This is more important. This is the thing.
My eyes have never felt greater pleasure.

It might help to look at the detailed drafts of this that were shared way back in 2016 during the khara expo.

Sn299 C001 - Nigoki got that Roadblock from GI Joe thang going on.

Sn134 C017- Mari making with the come to bed eyes is a thing I like.

I'm uncertain whether the closeup to the Rei face at Sn143 C003 is supposed to be Rei or Yui. She's most definitely not a fresh Rei, judging from the expression.

Hmm... when Rei went into Unit 01 at the end of 2.0, the Eva now had two souls inside. Could it be possible to pull one of them out without knocking the Eva out of commission (since it still has a control entity, thus it should still work)? So, Rei got exchanged for Yui, who in turn was used in Unit 13 and now Fuyutsuki pulled her out into a Rei body while Rei II is the one powering the Wunder right now and Shinji was lied to about her missing because WILLE needed the Wunder operational?

Or maybe it's Rei II who got pulled out and dumped into Unit 13, hence Ritsuko's claim in the last film that she wasn't found in Unit 01 and why Shinji was able to solo pilot Unit 13 after Kaworu was disconnected.
