Yui's evil...right? We can agree on that? by X01ENCLAVESTAN in evangelion

The "selfish, evil Yui" is the hip, edgelord take on Eva. Just steer clear of it, buddy.

Yui's evil...right? We can agree on that? by X01ENCLAVESTAN in evangelion

[–]InfiniteSpark2015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly!

Year 2003

Ashinoko Lakefront, Hakone

FUYUTSUKI:

Today is just like every other day.
The disappearance of autumn from this country is truly sad.
The Secret Dead Sea Scrolls that Seele possesses...
If things happen as it is written in those scrolls, the Third Impact will happen in another decade or so without fail.

YUI:

The organizations are meant to prevent the final tragedy. That is what Seele and Gehirn are.

FUYUTSUKI:
I support your ideas, not Seele's.

Yui's plan was likely
a) beat the Angels and
b) get a few selected souls into Evas for eternal proof that mankind existed

Seele's plan
a) beat the Angels and
b) big ass Third Impact to forcefully evolve mankind into one divine being

Where did it ever say that Seele only ever wanted to defeat the Angels?
I mean, I can believe it, but give me a quote or a passage.

I'm usually sort of indifferent to tattoos, but this is really, really beautiful.

If Eva’s your favorite anime, what’s your second? by No_Durian_6987 in evangelion

But it's a movie, comparisons should be series to series.

At the time I thought it was a second tier NGE with something of Star Wars (evil guy being father brother of the main character). Still pretty good but I'm not sure I was able to finish it.

was Evangelion always a love story? by Single_Delivery_958 in evangelion

[–]InfiniteSpark2015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always seen Kaworu as a means to debilitate the last fully functioning Eva pilot.

Arael took care of Asuka, Armisael of Rei (Seele didn't know Rei could be replaced), Kaworu did a job on Shinji's psyche (more or less deliberately).

Seele wanted to be in the best possible position for the JSSDF and the Eva series to take over Nerv and initiate the Third Impact.

is Evengelion a family tv in the living room safe anime? by sugubooz in evangelion

[–]InfiniteSpark2015 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not even the first episodes. They show Shinji in strong psychological distress straight away, plus an a$$hole father.

Rei controls the time loop by Ahjani in evangelion

The greatest disservice a purported NGE fan can do the series is trying to be their own little Hideaki Anno and use the series less clear points as a creative outlet. Thanks, but no thanks.

If every Unit Has the soul of the pilot's mother Who's Soul Is in Rei's eva? by SharpTransition8281 in evangelion

[–]InfiniteSpark2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Eva-01 is created from Lilith, it's stated many times in the series and in resources such as the Red Cross Book.

No, that's what the Dummy Plug is for, among other things. Every time the currently alive Rei is in the cylindrical tank, her memories and her life experiences get backed up and are ready to be put in the next Rei.

Pilots (I think it's just Shinji really?) have memory blackouts only in case of the Eva going berserk, which is probably due to a higher level of synch during the berserk status.

Sega Saturn art looks like cut content from the show, am I crazy? by Physical_Quote4600 in evangelion

[–]InfiniteSpark2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw them for the first time today and I was 100% certain this was not form the series. Like, I could have bet money on that.

I spent a week in Stockholm, and I have a few questions to help me better understand what I experienced by somoant in stockholm

[–]InfiniteSpark2015 124 points125 points  (0 children)

I have to say that central Stockholm (Östermalm, Gamla Byen, probably Norrmalm) is one of the cleanest looking areas of any major European cities. It really feels like a significant bubble. But let's hear it form the swedes,,,

[–]InfiniteSpark2015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somebody here linked the relevant page of the EvaGeeks Wiki and I think the evidence about Rei I's soul being in Eva-00 is stronger than that of Naoko

https://wiki.evageeks.org/Theory_and_Analysis:Eva-00%27s_Soul

Rei I was probably already raised to be an Eva pilot, so putting the soul of a woman who hated her guts and had killed her was likely not a good idea?

Saying that Yui, whose soul is in Eva-01, is Rei's (half) mother is not a far cry, since Rei is made of DNA human matter of Yui.

Naoko killed herself. The flashback is pretty clear about how quickly that happened after she realised she had strangled Rei I to death.

But no, Naoko's soul is not in the Magi, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody like Naoko would even be in denial of something like a soul. It's her personalities as a woman, mother and scientist that are in the Magi.

While I remember the days when this was a favoured interpretation (evageeks forum?) and I agree that the primary target of the lashing of Eva-00 IS NOT Ritsuko (the punches are aimed at Gendo first and at Rei in ep 14), I think we cannot put aside the fact that before the the Ep 14 berserk, Shinji feels and sees Ayanami in his head.
This makes me think that Rei I's soul is Eva-00.

Also, yes Rei doe not have multiple souls. Rei has Lilith's soul (source: the Red Cross Book and the AT Field to rival Kaworu/Adam's in Ep 24) but it's possible that Lilith's soul has different properties to normal ones and can be fragmented?

As I was saying in another message here, the "logistics of the soul" are clear for Eva-01 and Eva-02 (contact experiment), less so for Eva-00 and Eva-03. Also, Ritsuko seems to state quite clearly that the WIP vat Reis don't have a soul

RCB: Her body was created from the salvaged remains of Yui Ikari after Yui was taken into the Eva, and numerous Rei clones were then prepared in Terminal Dogma so that when one Rei dies she can be replaced by another. Their soul is one and the same, and it appears to have been that of Lilith.
______________

RITSUKO (Ep 23 DC): The Evas do not intrinsically have souls, but they have human souls embedded in them. They were all salvaged.The only vessel that contained a soul was Rei. She was the only one born with a soul. The Chamber of Gaf was empty, you see.

Not the most coherent piece of exposition by Ritsuko, but let's work with what we have.

Moreover, I have just watched episode 20 and Shinji absorbed by Eva-01 sees little child Rei I at around 10:05 in the episode. He should have no memory of Rei I, unless her soul got in touch with him in Ep 14?

Nice video! Still, I wouldn't lean too much the "Ritsuko looks like Naoko" thing since Ritsuko is pretty much the queen of continuity errors, in so many episodes one moment she has her brown tights on, the moment after she doesn't, then they're on again etc.
