Well, in Christianity the Fish was/is the sign for Jesus. So the tuna has to be our Bishonen Space Jesus, Kaworu. Yes, even in fan art, Eva remains being so deep.

I'm more impressed that you actually found a possibly legitimate meaning in there.

Y'know what this thread needs? More Misato:

Those outfits cannot be comfortable in intense heat.

Their younger self look very good in their new uniforms! This pic confirms what everyone already know: Misato with long wavy hair is best Misato!
I hope for them that they actually have summer uniform for when the Wunder isn't in the Poles!

Like Father Like Son:

The NERV Commander uniform looks disturbingly good on Shinji.

[Sgt. Griff]

^A well fit jacket looks good on anyone. Especially if it's a cool one like that.

Nagisa Kawolu.
Cool jacket, though.

[NemZ]

Rei could clearly use some help picking out non-uniform clothes. That isn't working for her at all. She looks like an exceptionally tall toddler caught playing dress-up.

And Kaworu... are you seriously wearing sweats with a dress shirt? I don't care if comfy pants are the height of lillim culture, you just don't do that man.

[ElMariachi]

Rei with baggy and comfortable clothes, Asuka with a jacket reminiscent of a jet pilot jacket, Shinji in casual, Kaworu trying to be classy, but failing with one detail... somehow that fit them perfectly.

The only really weird choice is for Mari.

Makinami Mari Illustrios.
Plot twist: Mari is actually half-Greek.

If Second Impact brought year-round summer weather, what if Third Impact did the opposite?

[amitakartok]

That's not possible. Impact summer came because the planet's axial tilt was zeroed; if you increase that to maximum, you don't get winter, you get a planet with a really fucked-up day/night cycle.

[Sgt. Griff]

How is Shinji so consistently well dressed. Whatever, it's canon now.

It's technically possible, for a different reason than axial tilt. We've had ice ages in the past while still having the same axial tilt as we do now. There could be a load of other ways an impact can mess up the atmosphere and land to the point where we end up reflecting more heat back into space and chilling down. We've had mini ice ages because of massive volcano eruptions. An impact has a lot more...impact...so who knows?

Personally I'm fine with post-3I perma-winter because picture of character wearing cozy clothes can be kawaii as fuck.

Have some unrelated LAK  SPOILER: Show

[Nuclear Lunchbox]

You can practically taste Asuka's nani sore.

[Bagheera]

Between Kaworu and Asuka, how could he not be?

[Monk Ed]

For those curious, that's a katakana phonetic approximation of the English "fucking hot" with a Japanese translation beneath it "kuso atsui".

I don't believe I've ever seen an English-to-Japanese translation in Japanese before. So that's how a Japanese would translate the English "fucking"? Somehow it tells me a lot -- like how limited Japanese vulgarity must be if they use the same word to approximate English's Big Mother of Them All as they do casual swears in shows for little boys.

[Kendrix]

I love stockpiling these for possible fanfic use, or just to stare at them ocassionally/fanservice value. Only Asuka ever really wears something other than her uniforms and plugsuit...

Mari's and Rei's outfits, in particular, are so very them.

If Second Impact brought year-round summer weather, what if Third Impact did the opposite?

For what it's worth, the early scenes show the Wunder in a hole in a frozenbody of water/ snow storm, and the random people outside are thickly packaged, although that could just be because of contamination.

The earth doesn't have to turn around Uranus style, just tilt a litte in th opposite direction so Japan ends up closer to where the poles used to be (if seen from the sun)

They don't have any vulgarity per se, just impolite expressions. "Shit" really is their strongest swearword. Could be the reason why, in a certain recent anime, there was a Japanese character who swore by dropping an undubbed F-bomb in English instead of using a native phrase.

And yeah, I can totally understand why the picture's creator picked that exact phrase...

So... impact epicenter becomes the new rotational axis?
