That's why I think that the fight with Unit 13 has to be taking place in the "present day" of the final movie, and that Shinji will pilot again.
He said that may be a case of doctored footage ex how Shinjis choker was edited out of trailers for 3.33, he thinks what Anno did was replace Mark 06 with Unit 13 in the trailers to trick the audience into thinking it's going to be a 'return to form' for Shinji. When in reality it's going to subvert things.
See how similar Unit 13 and Mark 06 are, it wouldn't take much effort to modify the CGI model for the trailer to trick the audience.
GJ also checked this out he swapped out the lighting of Unit 01 with the spear in the daytime with a background in the nighttime, and the lighting makes a lot more sense with how the figure is shaded.
