er...emergency repairs with duct tape?
Be kinder to Asuka; she's a little, suffering girl who's got feelings, too!

I doubt its actual Tape of any sort (Mari had line-ish decorations on the EVA 05 suit as well, remember? Just not that many) tough it's üprobably meant to symbolize tape/bandages.
also, I doubt they're going for a two-face thing, as the injuries/asymetries are found on both sides of her body: waist tape and arm tape on the left, different boob protector and eyepatch on the right...
I wanted to try harvesting the rice
I wanted to hold Tsubame more
I wanted to stay together forever with the boy I like

I wouldn't necessarily assume it's angelic hybrid nature since, after all, Bardiel's physical contamination has been confirmed gone and any mental contamination would presumably be suppressed by the influence of the hex pillars around Shikinami's altar. In fact I'm not entirely sure what sort of hybrid nature it would be in-story, so a symbolic hybrid nature seems more likely.
I'm not sure why ti would suggest such a thing. To me the tape suggests something that's damaged and has been fixed. That image might be a statement as simple as "Asuka's back in the game!" I just don't know how to view it beyond that.
Of course it's also possible that Shikinami's character in Ha isn't in any way meant to be taken as a symbol of NGE, but if that's the case then I really don't know what the best angle of analysis for her character is.
This is where I sit. I don't see any such symbolism since we know Anno is treating her as a separate, Rebuild-specific character. But with that being the case I don't know what to make of her.

Yes, I know. You thought it would be something about Asuka. You're such idiots.

It seems that, at least around her leg, the tape is used to hold some biosensors in place. Also, there is a balck piece of material on the back of her neck that is connected to the eyepatch.

Two-face is STILL unlikely, since the tape is equally split on both sides of her.
As for the "black pierce of material", you sure it's not just a shadow? I still see the red of her hair there.

I'm too busy staring at the rest of the cool asymetrics.
also, it is NOT just the old suit patched up - the neckpiece is notably different (a new design, as it seems), and it has the black "crotch accent lines" previously seen on Mari's pink suit.

Asuka is still a sexy bitch!!! Though I don't really understand the purpose of the tape... What? Does that meant if it's removed, she'll fall apart ala Oogie Boogie from The Pleasdon'tlockthisthread?
NGE was a damned good anime
EoE was an anime masterpiece
And Rebuild is nothing short of epic
Long live the EVAs!!

Did Bardiel take her appendix? That tape on her abdomen could hint to that...
Hm. Well. I guess it doesn't.

Back in the Q trailer Asuka was the only character shown in a outfit and environment that was linked to the main world reality of Evangelion. All other instances of showing the world we already know where of Evas (dummy system?) or destroyed wastelands or the mention of Nerv repositioning which had no character shots just flying ships which could be a automatic pilotless response to take Asukas coffin ('bath-tub')away from the danger zone (ironically pointless if 3rd impact killed every one very 'Anno'). her hair does seem to be blowing in the wind as if off a ship at sea. Perhaps she is the last one left and has to bandage her self up only Asuka would bother with color matching sticky tape thats so silly!. She's stuck in a world with no Shinji to choke her out and has to suicide to join every one els in the alternative reality much like her mother.
The apocalypse is letting go of mecha fantasy? Asuka would be the last to let go?
To show her again as the only image.. is pretty cool
Now you might say oh nice theory well what about Kaworu and what about fans expectation of some kick ass eva battles like EOE. Well Kaworu is not shown as a pilot in the trailer regardless of if his eva is floating about or that hes shown alive at the time or just before 3rd impact at the end of 2.0. so he could very well be gone as well and his eva just being controled by the dummy system which has to be used meaningfully in rebuild.
Hes shown in quite a alternative way in a work suit at a unknown but smiler to what we already know location.. that just all smells of alternative reality to me. a easy choice now they have run out of cells to recycle and also with characters in different outfits! to split from the existing reality at the moment of 3rd impact just as they did before.
Also i dont think Kara can do it hahaha not to be negative but i think they will want to leave the best eva battles in EOE and focus on story more.
Just what i think.. Also look at the size of the Kara office.. no way are they going to do a huge amount of new battle animation i would expect a more defined but similar in style ending to what we had before...with likely more focus on the reality split. And mostly new animation.. explains the delay.. but no big action scenes just dummy plug eva's floating around for a little and lots of human level stuff in new outfits.
dream over. sorry if i disappoint.

Got my copy today, not sure if these have been posted online yet but the issue has a full version (it's a tiny representation of such though) of the cover image which has a better view of the lance and the bandages which extend down Asuka's leg.
