"Nigel" is clearly associated with the top left circle and not just one color...but the rainbow.
"Vlad" is definetly associated with the blue bottle that Skyy vodka comes in and the bottom circle as he falls down drunk a lot.

I thought the color blue represented the color of "Vlad's" Viagra pills, because he definitely needs them once he's drunk off his ass.

Hey, could be worse. Before AnimeNation stopped counting Series Specific posts towards one's total post count, I had over 8K there. I don't even want to know what that number is now.

Shhh "Vlad" doesn't know about sex yet. Nobody in SEELE's had the talk with him yet. He's mentally about 6 years old.

Like others have said, the glasses could just be in an artistic form. But then again it does raise curiosity as to way that LCL looking color, orange.

*Trying to get thread back on topic*

The realist in me wants to say "bah, they're just glasses", but the cracky part of me wants to say "hmm... you never know, it could turn out true".

Orange tinted glasses aren't too uncommon, but the possible relation to ATFs is interesting.

Does anyone have a screencap of Gendo before being chomped by Yui/Shinji/whatever? If I remember correctly, his glasses in the frontal shot of him lying down were a sort of light blue-grey. *too lazy to dig through EoE and check* Maybe that's supposed to mean something? Or was it just the lighting?

I'm really not sure if the color of the glasses mean anything, but the glasses themselves obviously ARE significant. So, if we are to figure that they are significant in the series and to Gendo/Rei, I don't think it's such a stretch to think that there's some symbolism behind the color.

Dark Purple (Shinji): evokes gloom and sad feelings. It can cause frustration.


Why is Shinji purple now? I thought pruple was Yui's colour.

SEELE08 survived the great "Revelations" Blizzard of 05/06, but was never really the same afterwards. Neither were most of us in fact.


Oh god those hit at around about the same time I started reading up on NGE, I had no idea wtf was going on but I was sure there was some deep meaning in there. Which was a comfort.

Please stop saying Sephiroth, it's giving me entirly the wrong idea.

I never got why they did that. COUGH21COUGH.

That's realy too much of a random/topic bias there.

Yes, the "Katayoku no Tenshi" gave away your background with bravado. (And the fact that I would recognize the phrase obviously doesn't say anything good about me.)

If it's any consolation, I meant to say "Sephirah" in the initial post mentioning them.

Maybe the light blue-grey was his ATF trying to fade away while Yui was breaking him down.

I don't think so, because after he's dead, they're back to being orange. If it was a symbol of his AT field, then they wouldn't be this color any more. Hence, end of fanwankery. I wish... :D

Just because they are glasses dosen't mean they aren't also symbolic.

That's the sort of detail I always miss.

Edit: I'm Matariel now. Why ♪ does it alwys rain from me♪ .... oh noes a gun ... where did I put that AT Feild.

Well if you think about it, he doesn't have his glasses on anymore correct? Then why does his lower half still remain? But his upper body was tanged... *Trying to start something...*
