Well there are 3 rainbows in rebuild
religious symbolism anyone?
for instance
"God promised not to flood the eath again?"
ie:possible No 3rd impact?
I realized this theory is very strectched but,
Lets discuss

the shots that have rainbows in rebuild so far are
after Shamshel
rainbow A.T. Field
after Sachiel
**and I know...POINTLESS RELGIOUS SYMBOLISM**

Well, another variation of the rainbow, from Greek myth, is that it is Iris, a messenger to the Gods.

Of course, it's impossible to say exactly what Anno is aiming at with the rainbows. It might be hopelessly pointless relgious symbolism, like those ridiculous cross-blast weapons Sachiel and Zeruel use out of their eyes.

Or maybe things just look prettier with 7 more colours.

This may just fit in with other Christian symbolism that means nothing like what it meant in original Christianity.

It's aesthetic. It probably "means" nothing.

Maybe it's another homo-erotic undertone. :roll:

I think it is a message that there will infact be be more new evas in the new movies then anyone dared imagine.

We already have:
Unit 00 - Yellow (Blue)
Unit 01 - purple
Unit 02 - Red

Also Unit 04 was black. However this time round he will survive his run -in with an angel (and Unit 01) and be re-painted like Unit 00. I belive he will be a nice pea green.

Then we will have the following added. One each in the last two movies to come.
Unit 05 - Orange
Unit 06 - A sort of off purple colour (people will call it violet).

It is possible that I am wrong about the last one. Instead it may be that the MPE's are a odd purple colour instead.

Unit 00 - Yellow/Orange
Unit00 - Blue
Unit01 - Purple
Unit02 - Red
Unit03 - Black
Unit04 - Silver
MPEVA - White

Now, if we follow traditional sentai colors, I would say that we're overdue for a Green or Pink Evangelion.

Hikari has often been drawn with a green-ish plugsuit.

Um, Kensuke, I have some bad news for you....

If anyone is getting a pink Evangelion it's Kaworu. Then he could put one of those rainbow bumper stickers on it to complete the look.

I think it is just something added in for effect. Nothing signifigant . . . but then again, I have underestimated things EVA before.

And we need a Green EVA if they are going all out on sentai colours. Although, a Green EVA would look plain weird.

We should get Kaworu to replace his plugsuit with a tight-fitting mankini.
He was warrior and mystic, ogre and saint, the fox and the innocent, chivalrous, ruthless, less than a god, more than a man. There is no measuring Muad'Dib's motives by ordinary standards. In the moment of his triumph, he saw the death prepared for him, yet he accepted the treachery. Can you say he did this out of a sense of justice? Whose justice, then? Remember, we speak now of the Muad'Dib who ordered battle drums made from his enemies' skins, the Muad'Dib who denied the conventions of his ducal past with a wave of the hand, saying merely: "I am the Kwisatz Haderach. That is reason enough."

Maybe it actually is Anno's salute to gay rights, or whatever. He did put Kaworu in Eva, afterall.

Hah. Wouldn't that be unusual?
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf mutes.
