I did join the forum to point this out, so might as well point it out now that I'm here.

It's a maths problem. Because you know, Writers Cannot Do Maths.
The son, who saw his mother disappear "at the age of four" in 2004 (but was born in 2001).
The mother, who definitely vanished in 2004.
Shinji's one year too old according to the wiki.
Shinji was 3, not 4, when Yui went through the Contact Experiment. Actually, Shinji's page itself shows "Three-year-old Shinji, from Episode 21", so...
*shrugs shoulders*

(Just in case there's a doubt: I don't mean disrespect or anything with the "Writers Cannot Do Maths" link. I only mean to induce chronophagia. I'm a true monster, I know.)

Thank you very much! Goof fixed. The wiki probably has a thousand little goofs of this nature scattered across its pages, sadly.

On a related note, I'm 14, and put my age as such when I signed up. Yet, it says I'm 29.

I said and did some dumb and hurtful things in my time here when i was younger. If i ever hurt you, i'm sorry. If you see any of this while reading old threads, i'm learning and trying to improve. Donut redemption arc in progress.

Since this has been brought up too, lately I came into possession of video files that seem to be the extras for an Japanese disk set of eva, they had character recaps, interviews with anno, and the music video for "Tamashi no Rufuran". (did i spell that right?) Anyway, the age they gave for the Asuka, Rei, and Shinji (they had windows, it's hard to describe, will screen shot when I get the chance.) all said they were 14. However most people claim Asuka to be 13. Who has it right?

Asuka's birthday is December 4; she's 13 when she arrives in Japan but 14 by her mindrape and breakdown.

Just doublechecking: Rei I is 5, not 4, in the Episode 21 scenes, yes? (According to the Gainax Script.) Rei's wiki page and her Theory and Analysis pages could probably use some work, but then again the whole wiki could. :tongue:

EDIT: Oh, the script from Episode 21' cut 199 was posted in #egf , yay: 5才のレイ(7才くらいに見える) "5 year old Rei (She looks like she's around 7 years old)."

I'm not sure if Rei's page says how she'd really be 10 in 2015--or that her clone bodies were aged to be 14. (Also, is it assumed or a fact on Rei's origins? Being the result of pulling Yui out of Eva-01 during salvage operation and getting a pallet-swapped Lilith-souled version of her instead? Since Eva-01 and Lilith were still connected.)

Not sure if any of this should go in the wiki page or a Theory and Analysis page, which is why I'm asking.
