Makinami = Ayanami Type Lot 7
Both Asuka and Yui have their surnames changed from NGE to NTE. And it also points out how Wille is unsure they're dealing with the real Shinji at first when he's retrieved from Eva-01.
Of real interest IMO is bullet point 6, the 2.0 CRC states Asuka was in a research institute? I...never knew that or picked up on it, in watching 2.22. I mean, I know 1.0 mentioned she trained in Germany, and 2.0 referenced something along those lines too, but it just makes me think of more sinister implications, now (maybe Shikinami really is a clone).
Translation:
2.0 CRC wrote:*From a young age she's played with the doll.
*The doll's named "Asuka".
*She's the only one Asuka can talk to.
*Owned since leaving the research institute's town.
*Used since 10 years ago.
*It's intended for 4.5 years old.
So Eva Fan theorized maybe Asuka was born in it.
Lots of other potential weirdness is discussed (NGE naming schemes changed for the Angels/Children to their NTE formats, Gendo's 14-year plan for Rei and Shinji, ending of 1.0 showing Kaworu awakening from a coffin), but I just wanted to pass on the especially interesting parts. Since I don't have time to translate the various theories he put forth.
To be honest, I'd rather the children be normal kids (well, besides Kaworu and Rei) thrust into a difficult situation alongside the Eva and Angel hard sci-fi weirdness that NTE seems more about. I did make a discussion about NTE having a more hard sci-fi feel here* for those interested.
*The kids other than Kaworu/Rei are "normal" (air quotes because Curse of Eva and Asuka's eyepatch), the Evas are cyborgs minus special Eva-01 (Yui). Let the Evas or Angels have any weirdness related to Adams or FAR or whatever else NTE could be about, and the let the children be (mostly) normal to make NTE's overall story somewhat more relatable.
