Hmm. Knowing now that Unit-01 was indeed an "a" unit, I'd love to see any possible future iterations that it goes through.
Shin Evangelion brought me back, five long years later.

Well there wasn't any indication yet that in the NTE continuity the Evas contains a human, except for Unit 01.
Mark.04 Code 04C(the ones who attacked the Wunder) did had an AT Field, so the Mark designation must mean something else.
My personal take is that "Unit XX" is the designation for the Evas built by NERV, while "Mark.XX" is the designation for those directly created by SEELE.

Kensuke is a military otaku who, at one point, is shown creepily taking pictures of girls to sell. He would clearly fit right in as an animator at Studio Gainax. -- Compiling_Autumn
EoTV is a therapist, EoE is a drill instructor. -- Chuckman
Seriously, that is the most fananked theory I've ever heard, more than Mari being Marty McFly travelling through time to keep her parents (Asushin) together. -- Jäeger

I still suspect that Eva 13 may have something to do with the Key of Nebuchadnezzar. I suppose the Key of Nebuchadnezzar could itself be an Adam (similar to the embryonic Adam in NGE), which may explain Mari's description of Eva 13 as a "surviving Adams."
Speaking of the "surviving Adams" line -- someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the Japanese could also translate as "Adams' survivor." I don't speak Japanese, but this suggests to me that Eva 13 might not be one of the four Adams from 2I, but something that was somehow salvaged from the Adams.

quick question with the whole adams' vessel thing, figured that this was the best place for it as this started with a lot of discussion about the Unit being referred to as the vessel by Mari, but is it possible she's actually referring to Rei directly as pilot and not the unit itself as the vessel in the dogma fight scene? She appears aware as to who is piloting and says that Rei should leave before she turns into the vessel.
well that's good for you then
Checking out the Pacific Rim wikia I came across this:
Maybe the "dai" refers to Eva-13th being bigger than a normal evangelion? it having a double entry plug, 4 arms and 4 eyes, it has been theorized that it's a combination of two (adams?) entities, instead of a single one, which would make it double sized or at least bigger?Etymology
The word "Kaiju" is a Japanese word that literally translates to "strange beast," but is often translated in English as "monster." Kaiju may refer to any bizarre creature, but in recent times Kaiju is typically associated with a genre of films originally made popular in Japan in the 1950's.
The most famous Kaiju in history is Godzilla. Other well-known Kaiju monsters include Mothra, Anguirus, Rodan, Gamera and King Ghidorah.
Terms related to Kaiju include:
Kaijū eiga: A monster movie
Kaijin: Human-like monsters.
Daikaiju: A giant monster, specifically meaning the larger variety of monsters.
Ultra-kaiju: Monsters in the Ultra Series
Seijin: Japanese term for aliens, also frequently called Uchujin which means "space beings".
is there anything indicating that it actually is bigger than a regular eva? during the battle with Asuka it seemed to be about the same as Eva-02'.
So "Evangelion giant unit 13"??
Edit: I just thought, maybe it's a connection to the "giant on the moon" or "giant of light" designations used for Adam? a confirmation that Eva-13th is indeed related to one of those?
Although if the Japanese wording for those designations also included "dai", Reichu most likely would have already picked up the connection by now.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with TMB here. The only Eva we've ever seen appear bigger than normal is Mark.06, and that was only while it was fused to Lilith.

Personally, the use of 第 in Eva-13's name to me is just to emphasize it's importance (ie., "THE" Eva-13). I can also see it as a convention to add an ordinal after the 9th numerical number. Seeing that in Mandarin chinese (which I'm basing my impression off of since it's somewhat close to Japanese, I hope) one would not really use the ordinals for numbering things below 10 but would start at 10 and upwards.
That 大 is a homophone of 第 is either coincidental or wordplay, I would say.

"0" is the past, "1" is the future, but "the present" is nowhere - this is an undeniable logic.
Among the countless parallel lines, I settle on "blasphemy" as my choice.

After reading this post I went to check out the scene to see these symbols on the floor.
And then ... a crazy theory popped in my mind! (I'm probably wrong, so feel free to correct me)
1 - Apparently one of the symbols (calligraphy of the Dead Sea Scrolls/FAR language?) is associated with Mark09:
2 - But why Mark09 would be related to a symbol of Adam? Maybe "Vessel" is a type of "Adam backup" created to serve/protect their EVA progenitor? (realize that all the Mark units do not require power supply). So maybe each symbol on the floor is a designation for each giant light.
Each Adam with his own symbol, his own "servant", his own MARK

The Adams are Power Rangers who crash landed on Earth and now seek to destroy this world so they can return to Super Sentai Land.
Wut.
