Primoman posted:I can't possibly keep up with the frequent discussion in this thread, as much as I love the EVA series, but one question has been bugging me for a while. If I remember correct, how it goes down in the movie is Asuka moves in with Shinji, and she thinks Shinji is moving out, but is told for the good of everyone it would be best if the pilots lived together and learned to get along...then right after Misato says that, the scene cuts to Rei sitting in a dilapidated building with obvious construction machines in the background tearing down the buildings. Sitting, on her own. [edit] Actually it might be during Misato's phone call regarding Shinji's living arrangements. Ak Gara fucked around with this message at May 5, 2012 around 04:22 |

If I recall correctly, at one point in the series Ritsuko talks about Rei's apt. Something about light amd darkness matching the lower lab where she was... spawned? But damned if I can remember the specifics.

Watched 2.22 again today for the n-th time, and I'm always wondering, what the hell happened to EVA Unit 07? The previews after the end of 2 talk about the "Quickening" Unit 08, but I've not heard of Unit 07 at all in either 2 movies. There's every other number but 07, I wonder why? 00: Destroyed; Devoured by Zeruel 01: Currently in God Mode 02: Damaged; Still somewhat operational 03: Destroyed; Torn apart by Unit 01 04: Vanished/Destroyed 05: Destroyed by Mari 06: Currently descending from Moon in God Mode 07: ??? 08: Mentioned in Previews after the end of Evangelion 2.01 Also, I can't seem to understand the "Lost Number" that Kaji brings Gendo as well. Maybe that's somehow tied to Unit 07?

More pseudo-mythology references in that "7" is a "lucky number", so there's no "7" in Evangelion because everyone's hosed?

I'm sure we will get some information about it. Seems like a rather glaring oversight. It looks a bit like, with the new pilot and everyone running around and all the evas , things will be more human versus human in the next movie.

Is there fan consensus at to whether, when Gendo said in the middle of the Ramiel attack, that there was just 10 more Angels, if that included the currently-attacking Ramiel or not?

I'm almost wondering whether we'll finish off the 'normal' Angels in 3 and then 4 will be however Rebuild handles End or does its own climax, depending on how much further things drift from the original continuity in 3.

Well it's already way off the original continuity in 2, seeing as Unit 00 is destroyed, and Kaworu is already making contact with Shinji, etc. Though it looks like they might just toss in more angels seeing as how they still have to introduce Unit 08 into the fray.

It's not the time that's surprising, it's the quantity. Plenty of series have gone on for 20 or so years. It's just that Evangelion has put out, what, 13 volumes in that timeframe as opposed to 70?

The story's right as Shinji was pierced by the Lance, but that was like a year ago. Maybe he hosed himself over by giving Gendo an AT Field, but his huge changes usually just mean the status quo regardless (Because he's lazy.)

I remember buying the first and second volumes of the manga in middle school and I'm only a few years from being 30 now. That's seriously some slow development for a thirteen volume series.

Sakamoto or whoever has only been putting out like MAYBE 1 volume a year. It's clearly not his priority. What confuses me is if he wants to finish it, why not just zip through? I mean, he's at the final stretch. Worth noting the the manga was produced initially to build interest for the unaired series so the manga has been going since before the anime started.

Does the manga plan to follow the arc of the rebuild then? I only ever read through the first four or five before I threw my hands up at the one year waits for each next volume. It seemed to follow more or less close enough to the series. But then again so does the rebuild for 1.11 so that may be no indication at all. Does this meam I need to go find all the back issues and read them in preparation for three? Good thing I have a summer bonus coming up I guess.

The manga follows the series and EoE. There's some interesting stuff like explaining Kaji's childhood and giving a look into how hellish the aftermath of third impact was. There's a lot of major changes throughout the story, but they ultimately don't change anything if that makes sense.

No, you don't understand, the manga was started to build interest for the original anime series aired in 1995. And it still hasn't finished. Despite ultimately following the same plot as the anime.

Not that it maters as now I feel the urge to go spend cash on paper media anyways. And here I thought my Kindle had stamped down any desire to own physical print materials.

That sounds like it could be pretty fascinating, especially if it clarifies any of the billions of questions it left us with.

As difficult as it is to believe, the story is still in progress and Third Impact has not been resolved yet. It hasn't reached the beach scene. Whether it will address any of the ambiguity is unknown, but unlikely. I haven't read it yet, as the early volumes are expensive and I'm basically waiting for it to be finished and be released electronically. The US publisher is Dark Horse, I believe, and they're releasing it one "stage" or whatever at a time, or maybe it's Viz. One of them. The schedule is so slow the last time I checked was so long ago I can't remember who publishes it.

It would be incredibly unsatisfying for the manga to draft up answers to a story that for all intents and purposes was finished 15 years ago. I would be happy with a slightly different end than that of EoE. Manga shinji, while still being shinji, is much more like the Rebuild version than the anime version. He's more standoffish, and a bit more gung ho.

Well it's already had a major change from the original movie, in that Shinji manages to save Asuka from the EVA-05 series. The pages where he furiously declares how he will "Protect Asuka" have been particularly awesome. It's funny how every single incarnation of Shinji post-EoE has been a total bad-rear end. May I ask what the spoiler policy is on the Rebuild movies? I wanted to ask about a particular moment but wanted to check first if I should spoiler all Rebuild talk.

Rebuild 1 would be pretty pointless considering how closely it mirrors the series and manga, and rebuild 2 is out domestically. I personally don't see the harm either way. If you wanna be better safe than sorry I'm sure people wouldn't mind hovering. I haven't read the last volume or two. The pace is so glacial that I just haven't gotten around to it.

Well, it's mainly speculation about Asuka's status in 3.0. I don't know if this was posted yet, just saw it the other day.  It basically highlights the parts of her suit where she is "bandaged". It got me thinking just how much physical damage she suffered in 2.0, aside from the eyepatch. Are these physical injuries caused by the Dummy-controlled Unit-01, or the result of being contaminated by the Angel? Have they ever stated what the possible side effects of Angel contamination are? Makes me wonder if she's on borrowed time, or if there are other effects that have yet to come into play? Could she be half Raiden underneath, with more prosthetics than first realized? Even though I'm happy with the way they handled Asuka's angst in the 2nd movie, I do hope we get some moments where she laments her newest deformity, along with comfort by Misato or Shinji (assuming they reunite in 3.0...and I hope they do since it's bound to be an awkward conversation). The eye patch may look bad-rear end, but it still sucks for a 14 year old girl to suffer an injury like that. I hope it's not just hand-waved as no big deal.

If it is even MENTIONED I will be surprised. I also have a feelign it is not permanent. It's actual purpose is there purely for aesthetic purposes (as far as the design is concerned) and the echo the patch on rei in 1.0 / the series and asuka's injuries at the end of EoE

It's actual purpose is there purely for aesthetic purposes (as far as the design is concerned) and the echo the patch on rei in 1.0 / the series and asuka's injuries at the end of EoE Well that was always debated too. Did they ever say for certain if Asuka lost her eye in EoE, or if it was just a bandage meant to (obviously) symbolize Rei's injuries and not a permanent loss of her vision? The former was always assumed based on having a ridiculously high sync ratio in the movie, which would suggest that any injury done to Unit-02 would affect her physically. In Rebuild's case, she got chomped by Unit-01, so being physically injured seems a given. Of course they could go the extra mile in awesomeness and have it turn out that Asuka has something like Bradley's eye underneath... I'm hoping it's properly explained either way, and not just hand-waved. I'm especially interested in the eventual reunion with both Rei and Shinji. The former owes her big time for volunteering to pilot Unit-03. The latter will probably just feel real guilty.

Literally like three words were "said" at the end, but if it's the same injuries as those she received in the mass production battle, she likely lost her eye. Why should Rei owe her? I mean, it was a kindness but it ultimately didn't matter anyway. Toji's the one that should be tahnkful  Rei will be all "durp durp" and shinji will either agonize over it or... honestly I don't know. Where do you go from third impact begin aborted?

Was Toji even considered for pilot status in Rebuild? I don't recall Nerv mentioning him at all. The bit with him visiting his sister was pretty much a troll for those familiar with the original series. Rei and Asuka were actually forming a friendship prior to the Unit-03 fiasco, so I'd like to think Rei will be sympathetic enough to actually thank Asuka, or be happy to see that she survived. It's funny how the altered "slap scene" was not only the best moment in the whole film, but the one that ended up completely changing the story.

He was probably considered, along with everyone in that entire class, as I believe it was mentioned somewhere obscure that every kid in the class was a potential pilot. They gathered them in one place so they could have easy access to replacements if the others were taken out of commission. So, it stands to reason, that they considered every kid before Ritsuko decided on Asuka.
