If Evangelions are cyborg angels with dead mom souls powering them, who's the dead mom soul in Unit 00?
Is itjust a real bad ice cream headache?
Are all of them dead moms? I thought 01 was the only one
>>135595099
Asuka's has her dead mom's soul stuffed in partway. Yui is wholly in 01. I think 00 has Rei 1, or part of it, which is why 00 is as crazy as Asuka's half-soul mom.
2deep?
Some random volunteer scientist?
Half of Rei I's soul, we've been over this for years.
No, it's not Ritsuko's mom's soul you retard.
we dont know for sure
Even anno doesnt know it, but he liked it back then because sounded complicated
Unit 02 is powered by HOMOLUST, which is why Kaoru is able to use its Yaoi power without even getting in.
Asuka afterwards becomes a BL fan and her eyepatch actually contains a circuit that feeds her brain BL nonstop.
>>135595254
>>135594972
Ritsuko's mom I think
Rei
But Rei is a soulless clone off Lilith. How can she have a soul to stow in Unit 00?
>>135595250
>he liked it back then because sounded complicated
I'm pretty sure this explanation is for NGE's name and religious terms and nothing more.
>We will never know what an EVA truly is.
>>135595831
She is not soulless. It's an explicit plotpoint that she has a soul.
>>135595296
So deep. Sasuga Anno.
My cpu is a neural network processor, a learning computer
>>135595831
Did you not pay attention to any of the dialogue?
Rei has Lilith's soul, it's implied they split that soul and put half of it inside of Unit 00 when everyone swapped Eva's to test synchronization rates. Hell, the reason why 00 went berserk in the first place is because it mistook Ritsuko for her mom, the woman that killed her. Ritsuko even had her mother's hair from 04's POV.
>>135595910
They state multiple times that they're grown/clones of Adam. Except for 01, they literally split Lilith in half from the waist down and let the bottom half grow into 01.
>>135596546
>They state multiple times

>>135597259
Wut?
>>135597259
No?
It's already been confirmed that time is more or less cyclical in Eva, Kaworu remembers everything from each cycle. And if you're saying that from what you've seen in the first Rebuild movie, then you need to watch it again.
>>135597259
You do realize rebirth and rebuild are entirely different things?

>>135594972
>who's the dead mom soul in Unit 00?
Some unnamed donor most likely just like has been said previously.
To elaborate, for Rei there is no absolute requirement for a connection with the resident soul to exist given the way how: a dummy plug created with basis on her personality was able to take over directly from Shinji, how it was stated she could have piloted Eva-02 herself at one or two points in the NGE, and if I'm not mistaken the dummy plug was also installed in Eva-02 at a later point (either just before or after Zeruel) which implies that it would also have been compatible with said Eva.
As for why Rei is able to do this, the best answer available is because of her housing Lillith's soul just like how Kaworu houses Adam's himself; the latter one having the ability to move Eva-02 without even having to enter it so long as the soul in there shut itself in or something.
>>135597774
You're going to need to find proof of that. The reason Kaworu can pilot Eva 02 without any requirements is because it's Adam based. It makes sense that Rei could potentially pilot Eva 01 because she's Lilith based, but Eva 02 wouldn't make any sense.
I don't remember the dummy plug ever being installed into anything other than Eva 01.
>>135594972
We do not know for sure, as it is never explicitly said.
There are theories, such as it being Ritsuko's mom. We know its not any of the Rei clones, however, because they have no souls of their own. Their entire purpose is to be soulless vessels ready and waiting to hold Lilith's soul should the need arise. Thats why, in anything other than fanfiction, there is only ever one active Rei at a time: because they only have one Lilith soul to work with, they just pass it around like a game of hot potatoe using soul science (which is a thing in Eva, they call the science of the soul Metaphysical Biology. Yui majored in it.).
While the technology does exist to split a part of a soul off of the rest of it (like what happened to Asuka's mom) Unit 00 predates that technology and Lilith's soul is far, far too valuable to risk damaging in such a way given that both Seele and Gendo need it intact for their respective endgames.
So we can compile a list of whose soul isn't in Unit 00, but we don't really know for sure whose is. Its one of the few legitimately unanswered questions in Eva.

>>135597533
How a cycle? Universe ends and a new one begin more or less similar?
And Kawouro is the only one to remember? Even that new one where Shinji is a super busty peppy girl having kawai adventures while fighting monsters?
>>135598191
Episode 14
Rei 1 appears before Shinji when Nerv tries to see if he can synch with Unit 00. This is before Dummy Plugs were put into use.
Episode
Rei notices Armisael trying to infiltrate her mind, at first mistaking it for the "me inside the Eva". Unit 00 didn't have a dummy plug, and Nerv had to salvage Rex's soul from the Eva.Watch the show.
>>135598191
In the episode where Shinji attempts to pilot Unit-00, he sees an impression of Rei when the Unit goes berserk. This makes the most sense in my opinion if there is a shard of Lilith's soul in the Unit.
>>135598771

>I don't remember the dummy plug ever being installed into anything other than Eva 01.
Gendo tells Ritsuko to load the dummy plug data into units 01 and 02 on episode 17, in the first scene on the dummy plant.
>>135598957
Thanks. Ritsuko also says that there are still problems with it, and the Dummy System is never properly completed under Ritsuko. It wouldn't be farfetched to assume that Gendo is rushing her in the hopes of making things more automated and controlled. We see this in Gendo's willingness to throw Shinji away after he believes he can just use the Dummy plug in Eva 01.
>>135598840
This wasn't the one I was talking about.
>>135598840
>>135599139
Well I'd love to hear more about it
>>135598952
That description is mildly inaccurate, but only mildly.
The enemies of the show are referred to as Angels, and they are big monsters of terrifying power protected by reality warping bubbles called AT Fields that let them no-sell anything they want, up to and including WMDs.
The best way to neutralize an AT Field is another AT Field, so humanity clones a couple of Angels, and then lobotomizes the shit out of them and stuffs them full of cybernetics so that they can be driven around by a pilot. They also cover the Eva in armor that is there less to protect it (armor ain't shit against Angel attacks) and more to keep the Evangelion restrained in the event that it wakes up despite having most of its brain missing, which can and does happen occasionally.
Even with the cybernetics, its super risky to go inside one of those things, especially since you have to make telepathic contact with it to make it move. The first few times they but people inside an Eva it fucking ate them. But, as it happens, the maternal instinct of the test pilot provides a shield against the Eva eating that person's children, so the kids can pilot the Eva's safely.
Thats why the Evangelions are piloted by teenagers: their moms (or parts of them, anyway) are inside of the Eva acting as a firewall between them and being absorbed by a barely controlled eldritch abomination we made in a lab to protect us against even worse monsters.
Welcome to Nerv.
>>135599139
This one?
>>135599279
>lobotomize
I don't think that's necessary since they're soulless. An Eva going berserk is just the soul inside it taking over.
>>135599279
>maternal instinct of the test pilot
You mean how close they were to their moms?
>>135599265
Female Shinji made Kawouro go straight.
>>135599465
I'm not sure that's true, since the AT Field is explicitly an extension of the soul. Without the AT Field, the Evangelions are useless. But at the same time, people getting their souls absorbed the the Eva is something that Nerv never intended to do originally (though perhaps Yui did, if you buy into her supposed master plan theory).
So for that to be true, the Evangelions would have had to have been totally worthless for much of their development, until a test accident that occurred during late stage testing for the SECOND human build Evangelion (not counting the numerous failed ones before they finally got a functional Unit 00).
So that doesn't seem likely. The only way this progression makes any sense is if Nerv proves they can generate an AT Field (the only thing they care about) much earlier than the test pilot phase in the design process, which means Evangelions have their own souls long before a human pilot got added to the mix. Though the Human soul bonded to the Eva certain makes it easier to control.
>>135599677
I'm pretty sure Yui purposely got into the Eva.
Every time after that, they took parts of a person's soul and put them in an Eva (Asuka's mom and part of Lilith's).
>>135599677
They could've planned on having the Evas utilize the pilots' souls
>>135599383
>>135599594
What is this called/about? I don't read moon runes.
>>135599500
Pretty much. The hair clip things that pilots wear are called A^10 Nerve clips. The A^10 Nerve was, during the 90s, thought to be the part of the brain that handles positive emotional connections to others, such as love.
Synch Ratio is your emotional connection to the soul inside your Eva, among other things. Thats why Asuka, after she finally makes contact with the fragment of her mom's soul in Unit 02 and realizes that she wasn't truly abandoned by her, sudden gets a MASSIVE power boost as her Synch Ratio shoots up.
Shinji was always a momma's boy, so his Synch was consistently good.
>>135595099
How did you miss Asuka's mom?
>>135599862
Yui is the only one that we know was fully absorbed by the Eva. Asuka's mom committed suicide months after a part of her soul was ripped out of her in an attempt to get the benefit of having a person in the Eva without actually killing anyone.
It... did not go as well as they might have hoped. Asuka's mom was driven insane by the fractured nature of her soul. They took away the maternal part of her, which meant that she literally could no longer recognize the difference between her own daughter and inanimate objects.
>>135599978
Why did link to my post?
>>135599677
>>135599812
Also, Ritsuko said that none of the Evas were born with souls because the Chamber of Guf was empty in episode 23.
>>135599978
It's more reasonable to assume Nerv worked out how to take full souls and just straight up kill the mothers considering all the named kids in Shinji's class - and presumably everyone else there - was missing a mom.
>>135599978
HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE!
Asuka's Mom was involved in the Eva program?
A part of her soul was ripped out?!
WHAT?!

>>135600145
Try watching the fucking show. There's no excuse not know something this basic.
>>135600043
Probably wasn't their intention.
Part of Kyoko's soul was put in after Yui got in the robot.
>>135600195
Says you. This shits obtuse as all fuck
Lilith's (and maybe some human's) if I remember, it's Rei's but Rei has a nonhuman soul (Lilith) and from my understanding essentially shares it with 00.
>>135600241
It's explicitly stated, anon. Watch everything again.

Could you give me a definitive viewing list? I keep seeing, "skip this and watch that instead"

>>135600392
Ah jeez.
Fair enough then.
>>135600381
The only thing you can skip is death&rebirth if you have the directors cuts of the last few episodes.
>>135600239
I'd imagine what happened with Kyoko was more of a failed experiment to see if they could avoid killing the mother while still using their souls. Everyone else just plain not having mothers instead of having crazy suicidal mothers leans more towards this too.
>>135600241
There is a lot of shit about Eva that they don't tell you outright, but is nonetheless canon. Most of it gets explained in more detail in side material.
For example, its secret unlockable files in a fucking videogame that finally told us where the hell Adam and Lilith even fucking come from. They are basically alien terraforming macgines sent out to reshape planets using huge fucking AT Fields to do it, and then populate them with a specific kind of life. Adam got here first, was doing his thing, and then Lillith crashed here on accidently and automatically tried to fulfill her programming too, which meant overwritting all of Adam's work. Serious shit goes down between them that puts them both to sleep, and thats what we call First Impact.
All life on Earth is Lilith based, probably because she ran her program more recently than Adam did, though some interpretations say that life on earth arose from Lilith's split blood, which is functionally primordial soup, and humanity and everyone else we call the ecosystem is totally off-plan.
>>135600381
Not that complicated, you see evangelion and end of evangelion. The rest is optional.
>>135600381
>actually listening to skipfags
Eva is anime-original, you skip nothing.
>>135600462
>probably because she ran her program more recently than Adam did
It's because Lilith's spear was destroyed in the crash, so Adam's activated instead to put him down.
>>135600462
>it was aliens all along
If that's canon and was planned from the start it's pretty stupid, like that last indiana jones movie
>>135598771I couldnt help myself
>>135600462
Fuckin' hell.
Is there a document that collects this information into a chronological series of events?
Better yet, is there a definitive piece of reading material that explains everything? I would like that.
>>135600559
All of it is fluff; completely irrelevant to the actual story. You don't need to know who the Angels are or why they're attacking. You don't need to know a lot of things, really.
>>135600559
I have to imagine stuff like that is mostly retconned in an attempt to explain the shit they did without really thinking it out in the original series.
>>135600506
Maybe? That doesn't explain why Adam's spear was buried in the Dead Sea when he was found slumbering beneath the south pole.
In any event, the shit that went on during First Impact happened so incredibly long ago that its hard to say exactly what happened, all we can know for sure is the outcome.
I have never been entirely sure how Seele knows all of this anyway. They say that they found this shit out in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and we know that its not LITERALLY the bible apocrypha that name normally refers to, but what the Dead Sea Scrolls really are and who wrote them is really unclear.
Because the only explanations that make sense are literally prophets, or aliens who wanted us to know how fucked up our planet was.
>>135600584
No, not everything.
You'd have to read through every interview concerning Eva involving people that worked on the show.
People have been saying Kaworu was a looper since the 90's but it was finally confirmed in an interview after 3.0 came out.
>>135600698
Probably just drifted through ocean currents or some shit. It's not important dead sea scrolls who fucking cares. It's an after-the-fact explanation for the goddamn universe that has no effect on the actual story.
>>135600570
A Weapon to Surpass Metal Gear
>>135600745

The looping thing blew my mind apart for what it's worth.
>>135600632
I'm not so sure. They might have come up with some of the details after the fact, but too much of the information we got later fits in seamlessly for the whole thing to have been handwaved later. My guess is that the writers knew what was actually going on in the plot, but it was more fun to obfuscate everything using religious terminology than it was to say "its just aliens, you guys"

Wait, wasn't the Dead Sea a nickname for Antarctica because of what Adam did when he woke up?
>>135601526
The Dead Sea is an actual place anon. Come on.
>>135601526
Gendo did call the region of no life where Antarctica used to be the dead sea, but the lance was found submerged in the ACTUAL dead sea before it got brought to the south pole and used to start the second impact.
Needlessly confusing, I know.
>>135601594
I know, but it's literally called a dead Sea when Gendo and Fututsuki go there.

It's a pachinko tie-in called Kiseki no Kachi wa. The brown-haired girl is Sakura and her Naru-looking friend is Mizuho. They're pachinko nuts who occasionally get up to Eva-related shenanigans and have coworkers who look identical to Fuyutsuki, Kaworu and Ritsuko.

0 is the first eva, but 1 has to be the first eva to take a soul since only Yui knew what was going to happen and the accident she staged became standard. Was the prototype nonfunctional when they moved on or is it possible it had something that wasn't quite a soul?
>>135605399
They were, but Misato also calls them aliens a couple times and Asuka guesses that they're aliens in Ep 11.
>>135603556
I remember a theory after 2.22 came out that the "Quickening" in 3.0's title would refer to Unit 01 being pregnant after absorbing Zeruel, and that it would give birth to an awakened Eva 08 in the next movie. It was a really fucked up idea and I wish it had happened.
>>135594972
i think it was kind of explained but the most logical answer should be that rei has something to do with housing lillith inside her
>>135595371
Did you even watch Evangelion?
>>135605595
The lack of a soul might be the reason why the dozens of prototypes all failed.
I'm curious as to where all these people that think Ritsuko's mom is inside 00 came from.
Did someone lie in a thread in order to weed out all of the people that never watched Eva?
>>135606057
It's some old bullshit that people never let go of, like a lot of other bullshit that never gets let go of in this fanbase.
>>135605989
Thinking about that, too, like maybe they couldn't get the tissue to survive grown and grafted in parts and that's why they resorted to carving one whole off of a living angel until they learned a new trick.
>>135606057
It was a fairly popular theory for a long time. The idea was that Naoko was dumped in the Eva after her suicide, and that her anger toward Gendo and Rei caused Unit 00 to freak out during the activation tests.
>>135600048
is this nigger for real
This doesn't get said enough, Unit 00 is rad as hell even just for being the unwilling one and having all the science horror imagery.
>>135608328
Because Rei is best girl.
That said, EVA01 also has a lot of 'beastly' attributes.
>>135608328
I always thought it had the lamest design of the Eva units.
Besides maybe Touji's.
>>135609583
EVA00 deserves more love in the franchise but never gets anybecause it's Rei's unit and Anno hates Rei
>>135609641
I don't see why the unit with the most boring and ugly design should get any love.
Especially with an even more boring and ugly pilot.
>>135609707
That's BS. You might find it unappealing, but you want it to stay that way, rather than improving.
Sounds rancid fanboyism to me.
>>135609786
Everyone finds it unappealing. It's just a shitty design.
They could have improved it for the games or Rebuilds or whatever, but they just made it worse.

You don't speak for everyone.
>>135609910
Well, I speak for the majority.
That's why it has the least amount of figures and appearances in promo art.
It's the least popular and memorable Eva unit, and that's a fact.
I seriously don't understand why people even like Asuka. What's even appealing about her.
>>135609871
I don't think your opinion reflects everyone's, most certainly not mine. It's absolutely true that they made it worse, but what boggles my mind is that you actually want it to stay that way.

>>135609936

has something to do with most people watching eva when they were teens

She's the only teen girl in Eva.
Except maybe Hikari, but who gives a shit about her.
>>135609311
01's still the best, 00 just specifically has more lobotomized alien Frankenstein flavor. It doesn't want any of this and needs to be restrained from killing itself and everybody who did this to it.

Now you're being dumb, EVA has been a franchise since the 90's and there's been many remakes already.
>>135610099
It doesn't get half the love or attention the rest of the EVA units get because it's unappealing.
Blame Yamashita for giving it such a shitty design, I guess.
>>135610082

You just diss the unit because it's Rei's. Don't even pretend otherwise when you call the pilot (rei) ugly.

That's like saying it doesn't rain because the ground is dry.
If it had gotten better attention and love, it'd have more appeal. Didn't you say it got worse instead?
>>135610131
I didn't imply that anywhere in that post.
And remakes don't matter, Unit 00 was given a design in NGE. That's the original design and it's pretty darn bad seeing how unpopular it is.
>>135610179
>You just diss the unit because it's Rei's
No nigga, I diss it because it's completely overshadowed by Unit 01 and Unit 02, and even the white Evas from EoE.
Fuck, even Jet Alone looks cooler.
And I call Rei ugly because she is ugly, I still like her though.
>What is EVA03?
Yeah, as I say here >>135609583
Toji's is the least, but Rei's comes right after it.

It's sort of written all over your posts, you belligerent waifufags/husbandofags are cancer. If you think EVA00 sucks and it's unappealing there's no reason for you to not want some improvements, but since you don't want that then it's fairly obvious what your angle is.
>>135610269
>I didn't imply that anywhere in that post.
You did, end of story. You outright stated it in fact.
Come on Anno where is 3.0+1.0
>>135610236
No, because Unit 00 had as much screentime as the other units in NGE.
But people didn't like it as much as the others, and companies didn't make figures of it and appearances in games as much as the others.
That's no one's fault but the designers.
>>135610301
>>135610335
I'm all for it getting improvements, but it hasn't gotten any, so it still is the shittiest unit and has been since the 90s.
>waifuing anyone in Eva
I watch it for the mecha and lore, as that's all it's good for.
You, on the other hand, saying dumb shit like >Rei best girl
is just cancerous and stupid. Get a life.
>>135610269
>No nigga, I diss it because it's completely overshadowed by Unit 01 and Unit 02, and even the white Evas from EoE.
You diss it because it's Rei's unit. You don't just go calling anime-characters drawn to be pretty "ugly", unless you're a faggot fanboy.
>Yeah, as I say here >>135609583
>Toji's is the least, but Rei's comes right after it.
In other words, you were wrong. I don't even care that much but you're trying too hard, and just for good measure the EVA00 unit has more releases/figs than the MP-EVA(s).
Well so much for this thread. Good run, everyone.
>>135610396
>I'm all for it getting improvements, but it hasn't gotten any, so it still is the shittiest unit and has been since the 90s.
There's far shittier units in EVA, and if you already agree, then don't diss it.
>>135610401
>You diss it because it's Rei's unit
No, I diss it because it's shit. Just like everyone else who disses it.
I'd still diss it if it was any one else's unit.
>You don't just go calling anime-characters drawn to be pretty "ugly"
Rei was drawn to be pretty ugly in the show, if I recall. Then again so was everyone, probably because of the gainax artstyle.
Sorry if that hurts your feelings, waifufag.
Unit 00 sucks.
>>135610438
Besides Toji's unit, it's the shittiest.
And hell yeah i'll diss it, since it deserves to be dissed.
Maybe if everyone disses it enough, they'll redesign it. But didn't it already get destroyed in the Rebuilds?
>>135610396
>No, because Unit 00 had as much screentime as the other units in NGE.
>But people didn't like it as much as the others, and companies didn't make figures of it and appearances in games as much as the others.
It has plenty of figures, but the point you're failing to evade is that re-releases and redesigns of the unit has been worsening, it has less features, less gimmicks, and lesser color variations. If can't compete with the rest, which gets all of those features/gimmicks and popular variations.
The designers are obviously to blame.
>>135610462
>No, I diss it because it's shit. Just like everyone else who disses it.
>I'd still diss it if it was any one else's unit.
Fat chance, none of what you're saying actually makes sense. You'll diss it because... it's less popular?
>Rei was drawn to be pretty ugly in the show, if I recall. Then again so was everyone, probably because of the gainax artstyle.
What the actual fuck are you talking about?
Dont' go calling anyone a waifufag when you're clearly waifufag cancer
>>135610538
> it has less features, less gimmicks
It's a prototype unit, of course it has less gimicks. That's the whole point of Eva 02, as the mass produced, fully combat ready unit. Of course that's going to be the one with all the gimmicks.
You're asking for buffs without regard to what happens in the show itself. Eva 00 doesn't need any buffs. It's lucky it got a paint job.
>>135610396
>I'm all for it getting improvements, but it hasn't gotten any, so it still is the shittiest unit and has been since the 90s.
I'd give that prize to EVA03 or the MP-EVA easily, not EVA00 which has some really solid moments. I don't think EVA03 or the MP-EVA's are shity or diss them because of that like you do, though.
It just makes no sense, and it has outed you like the waifufag you are.
>>135610538
>>135610586
Well, maybe if they hadn't designed Unit 00 to be so shit from the beginning it wouldn't get this treatment.
And it's too late now, that's the design Unit 00 is known for, it's solidified based on how it appeared in NGE. And that's what I'll critique it on.
No, the only waifufag here is you. You're the one getting mad because people call a shitty unit shit.
>>135610659
Eva03 only shows up for like a minute, so who cares.
MP-Evas were cool looking and creepy which fit the role, I don't see anything wrong with them.
When I was saying Eva 00 is the worst, I was talking about between the main 3 units anyway, because those are the only 3 that really matter and show up for enough time.
And I say it's the worst out of the 3 because it is. And most seem to agree with me.
I guess only a waifufag would get this mad about our opinion.
Just finished watching Evangelion
I still don't understand why SEELE wanted to waken Adam and cause the second impact? Why not just keep him deactivated with the lance of longinus?
>>135610623
>It's a prototype unit, of course it has less gimicks. That's the whole point of Eva 02, as the mass produced, fully combat ready unit. Of course that's going to be the one with all the gimmicks.
Not really. EVA00 sports more 'gimmicks' than the prototype unit in the original. It has jet-thrusters for one, EVA02 doesn't.
If you were actually honest about being into the lore, then you'd know that.
In fact, that raises a good point, the "production model" is in mecha anime often less-featured than the original prototype. Take Gundam, it's the prototype whereas the production model, the GM, is far weaker. This makes sense because it's a production model and needs to be produced easily.
EVA02 might have more bugs and errors ironed out, but as a unit the "production model" label isn't really something to favor.
>You're asking for buffs without regard to what happens in the show itself. Eva 00 doesn't need any buffs. It's lucky it got a paint job.
Well, if every other units gets some new feature or ability here and there, I don't see why EVA00 should lag behind. I think I have to agree with the rest that you are really just a waifufag pretending to care about the mecha/lore because it's Rei's unit and you actually enjoy it getting the short end of the stick.
>>135610768
Because they needed to remove Adam and his children from the equation so they could push Instrumentality forward.
>>135610768
They didn't want to wake him
>>135610760
Now you're moving goalposts, and you miss the point by a mile, because only a waifufag would actually bother to call anime girls designed to be pretty "ugly" and diss an EVAunit, while also taking some satifaction in it not getting the attention it deserves.
I mean, even saying that EVA00 is in the "top 3" of units that matter is already fairly good if you ask me, considering the multitudes of EVA-units made since then.
>>135610791
>>135610795
What do you mean "remove Adam"
Isn't Adam pernamently deactivated because of the Lance of Longinus? Where do all these Angels come from if Adam is deactivated?

Fuck off waifufag.
>>135610834
>because only a waifufag would actually bother to call anime girls designed to be pretty "ugly" and diss an EVAunit
A waifufag would do the exact opposite, actually. Your actions in this thread prove it.
>while also taking some satifaction in it not getting the attention it deserves
Which I never did.
When people think of Eva, they only really think of the three units. Those are the only ones that show up significantly in NGE. And Eva00 is the least popular because it has the most shitty design.
Get over it, waifufag.
>>135610668
>Well, maybe if they hadn't designed Unit 00 to be so shit from the beginning it wouldn't get this treatment.
It's not shit though, and it wasn't designed to be shit either. It has great moments and a great design, color-scheme and all.
>And it's too late now, that's the design Unit 00 is known for, it's solidified based on how it appeared in NGE. And that's what I'll critique it on.

>A waifufag would do the exact opposite, actually. Your actions in this thread prove it.
No, a waifufag like yourself will call anime girls ugly because of the inherent rivalry that comes with that mindset. Normal members of the audience can actually tell that EVA's characters are idealized in design, having perfectly shapen bodies with pristine faces. This is already commonly accepted.
>Which I never did.
Dissing it and repeating it while saying it shouldn't get the attention is taking satisfaction of it.
>When people think of Eva, they only really think of the three units.
No, they don't and you don't speak for them.
>>135610778
I'm someone else. Respond only the points I raised.
>EVA00 sports more 'gimmicks' than the prototype unit in the original.
First off, what the fuck are you saying here? Eva 00 is the prototype unit in the original. It has more gimmicks than itself? What?
Eva 02 comes with a special prog knife, those spike launchers, and like you said it irons out the bugs so that it can be piloted reliably. It gets fancy combat gimmicks.
> the "production model" is in mecha anime often less-featured than the original prototype
Irrelevant, this is not most mecha anime, this is Eva. What we see in Eva is that Eva 00 has less gimmicks than the production models. You could also take it a step further to compare it to the MPE, which can fly and are outfitted with S2 cores, making them infinitely superior to it. Eva 00 does not get the fancy "prototype is the best model" trope. If anything, that's given to Eva 01.
>if every other units gets some new feature or ability here and there, I don't see why EVA00 should lag behind
Eva 00 gets a paint job. Eva 01 gets an S2 core upgrade. Eva 02 got redesigned for EoE to fit the animation better and they added spike launchers. Eva 00's improvements were not a priority, probably because it gets destroyed before the end of the series and was never a particularly offensive robot.
If you want to go into Rebuild, Eva 00's improvement is Mark 09. Take that as you will.
>>135610865
The angels were already born before first impact.
When Lilith collided, they were sent all over the Earth from the explosion.
SEELE used Second Impact to revert Adam's body to an embryo, but the impact also caused the angels that were scattered around the world to wake up and start growing.
>>135610865
As long as Adam is around, Seele cannot ensure control over Instrumentality. They needed to awaken Adam, destroy his offspring, and then take control of him in order to push Instrumentality forward.
>>135610996
I always thought the Eva girls looked ugly, I didn't like the artstyle. I'm reminded of Rei's manly jaw from the blackout episode.
Even the guys looked weird.
Unit 00 is still the worst Eva.
>>135610388
Reminder that Rebuild's Shinji is a FAR soul like Rei and Kaworu.
Reminder that the 4 adams and the Key of Nebuchadnezzar are the remnants of his original FAR body.
Reminder that this explains why Shinji is a confirmed impact trigger who can fully merge with these Adams to initiate instrumentality.
Reminder that Rebuild Seele's version of instrumentality is really just an organized breeding experiment between FAR to elevate humanity into rebirthed FAR babbies.
Reminder that Rei's mother of humanity status has been removed for Shinji, or may have never really existed to begin with in the first place.
Reminder that Rei is actually Shinji's FAR babby, who acts as the catalyst medium for humanity's evolution via instrumentality shenanigans.
Reminder that Shinji is essentially the mother of 3rd impact and the failures of infinity, since he was the cause of it
Reminder that Kaworu and the angels are the equivalent of the fathers, who trigger a Shinji-piloted Adam to ascend to impact trigger awakening status via blue core insemination.
Reminder that Asuka is an incomplete hybrid because she was partially evolved while angel core insemination was taken place within the core of the eva that she was piloting.
Reminder that all of this will be the giant 'what the flying fuck' twist revealed in the final film.
why did the design change?
>>135610999
>First off, what the fuck are you saying here? Eva 00 is the prototype unit in the original. It has more gimmicks than itself? What?
There's a spelling error, it meant to say production unit.
>Eva 02 comes with a special prog knife,
All of the units come with their own prog knife design.
>and like you said it irons out the bugs so that it can be piloted reliably. It gets fancy combat gimmicks.
It doesn't have any combat gimmicks the others don't or can't have, including spike launchers.
>Irrelevant, this is not most mecha anime, this is Eva.
It's relevant because EVA is a mecha anime that also conforms to that stereotype. The test-unit, EVA01, is the de facto most powerful unit in the show. EVA02 and EVA03 are but pale imitations. EVA00 as the prototype is unstable, much like most other mecha anime as well.
Moreover, on general note, you're also wrong, because production models of products are streamlined for what the name implies: production, not features or gimmicks. It is a cheaper, more cost-effective unit. EVA does this as well as other mecha anime, art imitates life.
I take no issue with EVA00 in the original, since the start this has been about the evolution of these units.
>>135611114
Fuck off.
>>135600698
>Adam's spear was buried in the Dead Sea when he was found slumbering beneath the south pole.
Because the spear is what holds back the entities trying populate the planet with their own life forms. Only one can exist per planet and when Lilith crashed and made our evolution Adam kept dormant until Seele removed the spear which fucked up everything. This causing Adam to release his life forms, what we call angels, to populate as is his purpose but can't do that while Lilith is there so they need to erase her life
It's implied Lilith's black moon that everyone forms when they're turned into tang is an angel itself and our original form. It gives insight to Seele's motivations if they viewed it as our "perfect" form

>>135610999
EVA00 doesn't have less gimmicks, it actually had more gimmicks than EVA02 had in the original TV-series. Also FYI, the production models in NGE are the more anonymous general purpose models, they aren't designed for gimicks but for modularity and production. They're like the first release of the oculus rift. The more fancier full-featured one are still on the prototype/test stage.
>>135611123
That's Adam's mask
>>135611123
Because [/spoiler]It's not really "Lilith," it's "Adam."[/spoiler]In this case, Rebuild's angels really are the good guys all along, because they're just trying to merge with Adam againthe real remnants of "Lilith" are actually the "4 Adams." This is why one of them was adorned with a "Lilith" mask on the moon, eventually developing into MK 6.It's also why Kaworu freaks out and was considered to be in "immense pain" as mentioned in 3.0's script while he and Shinji were approaching approaching "Lilith's" corpse. Because that was his original body that was blown up into LCL, hence his statement "being demoted from 1st angel to 13th angel." Now his soul is floating in Eva 13 at the end of 3.0.
>>135611192
>Then guess what, you're either full of shit or just extremely weird
Is this what you consider a pristine face? If yes, then you're the weird one. Or maybe you're just ugly.

I don't remember who those other two are, but Asuka looked ugly too, Misato not as much. It's the artstyle.
>>135611140
>It doesn't have any combat gimmicks the others don't or can't have
What proof do you have of this? The spike launchers are built directly into Eva 02's pylons for instance. Eva 00 would need various parts completely built from scratch for it, where as they come standard for Eva 02. Sure, you could say anything could be built around Eva 00 to give it some combat gimmick since it's just a robot, but that's missing the point.
>The test-unit, EVA01, is the de facto most powerful unit in the show
See
>Eva 00 does not get the fancy "prototype is the best model" trope. If anything, that's given to Eva 01.
Eva 00 is never shown to be more powerful or at all better than any other unit. You're reaching to make it seem more important here. Just because it's possible for a prototype to be better, and just because it's a common trope, does not mean it applies in this instance.
> this has been about the evolution of these units.
So their representation in Rebuild, you mean?
Eva 01 gets angel bullshit that's all shiny lazors, but ultimately less impressive than the original. You can also extend Eva 01 improvements to Eva 13, as it looks virtually identical. It's a cool design and it has funnels, but otherwise it's barely on screen. It's also an Adam, or at least likely so.
Eva 02 gets another redesign, a jetpack and crossbow for no reason. It then gets torn in half and gets some transformations.
Eva 00 gets a redesigned shield. Its improvements are then extended to Mark 09, which looks like a redesigned Eva 00, getting the shapeshifting cape/rocket boosters, a scythe, removable head, and a transformation. It's also an Adam, or at least likely so.
So what, you wanted more buffs in early Rebuild? Other than that, it's fairly par for the course.

Unit 01 vs Zeruel beats high budget anime that comes out today.
>>135611443

>>135611411
>What proof do you have of this? The spike launchers are built directly into Eva 02's pylons for instance.
Man, you clearly don't know shit about Evangelion. You realize the pylons are attachable parts, right? They serve as battery packs with optional extenders, and can have among other things probably, those thrusters and spike cannons.
The actual Evangelion is a giant humanoid clad in armor. The armor can be attached or re-attached, that is it's design. It's no different from setting an aircraft with a different loadout.
>Eva 00 would need various parts completely built from scratch for it, where as they come standard for Eva 02.
They come as standard for EVA02? Please show me the proof for that, some EVA brochure or something.
>Sure, you could say anything could be built around Eva 00 to give it some combat gimmick since it's just a robot, but that's missing the point.
It's already got gimmicks a plenty. I'm not for giving it more or less, just correcting you here.
>Eva 00 is never shown to be more powerful or at all better than any other unit. You're reaching to make it seem more important here.
Absolutely not. Just again, correcting you. EVA is a mecha anime that does conform to the stereotype of test/prototype units being stronger than ones meant for mass production.
>Just because it's possible for a prototype to be better, and just because it's a common trope, does not mean it applies in this instance.
It's a common trope also present in Evangelion, as there were many initial Zaku or Gundam prototypes, they are both weaker than the Gundam itself, which is what EVA00 is to EVA01. EVA01 is the research/special model that's stronger than the production and other subsequent models, for various reasons.

>So what, you wanted more buffs in early Rebuild? Other than that, it's fairly par for the course.
Hm, you don't seem to quite understand still. More than buffs, gimmicks or weaponry, the overall presentation is also important. After all, you could load off a lot of weaponry or gimmicks on any given unit, but that wouldn't make the unit impressive or well-made just in itself. If you're just going to destroy the unit or make it look pathetic compared to others despite modernity, then you're actually making for a worse presentation.
More than what I want, the clue is to establish what becomes of these units or alternatively, what doesn't. With the above in mind, EVA00 comes out a lot worse than it reasonably should have had.
I always wanted to see the kids pilot each other's Evas for an episode. It would make for some great mind-fuckery.
Sadly all we got was that one cross test between Shinji and Rei.
>>135611641

>Theorycrafter Anon, what do you think of ANIMA?
Trash, but it leaves a lot of subtle clues and details regarding the Rebuild movies.
>Do you think it will be relevant to Rebuild final?
Absolutely. It foreshadows a ton of Rebuild's plot holes and plot twists.
Yamashita, the writer of the light novel series - even mentioned that Anno "consulted him regarding future plans for the Evangelion franchise before the novels were published." So that alone is enough reason to take it into some serious consideration from a theorizing standpoint.
Not to mention that Anno has had such secret discussions with only a few prominent members of Eva's staff and voice actors. Anno apparently spilled all of the beans to Akira Ishida (Kaworu's VA) about "who Shinji and Kaworu really are." He also answers a few keydetails to Rei's VA, Megumi Hayashibara - about Rei's role in 3.0 impacts and this apparently " completely shocked co-director Tsurumaki and several other key staff members." They then thanked her for asking the question "since it explained so much to them." Meaning that Anno had a master plan all along, he was just hiding it from his staff for weird reasons.
So yes, I do believe that Shinji is a FAR, who will most likely turn out to be named "Eve" of sorts, if that's what you're implying with your post.

>They serve as battery packs with optional extenders
The battery packs were attached over the pylons, not the pylons themselves, and since spike launchers can be fit into them, they're clearly not where extra power is stored.
>They come as standard for EVA02?
They clearly don't come with Eva 00 or Eva 01. While Eva 02 was redesigned for EoE, that's for artistic reasons, not canon ones. We're to operate under the assumption that the Eva 02 in EoE is the same as the series, which would mean the spike launchers were always there. That gives Eva 02 a secondary weapon that does indeed come standard that the other units do not have.
>It's already got gimmicks a plenty
What are these gimmicks? If you're going to talk jet boosters present in its pylons, then you've already discredited any worth those have in your own post. Is it having only 1 eye a gimmick? How about it being hard to control?
>EVA01 is the research/special model that's stronger than the production and other subsequent models
So Eva 00 is not particularly special, then. It's a prototype, but it's not any stronger or better than later models.
>>135611702
>With the above in mind, EVA00 comes out a lot worse than it reasonably should have had.
Compared to the original, it got more if you factor Mark 09 in. Zeruel effectively performed Armisael's functions of removing Rei 2 and her Eva from the playing field. In the original, Rei stopped piloting entirely after that point. In Rebuild, we get more of Eva 00 in a sense. It's not even made to look pathetic; they make a point of it being too much to deal with, only defeated by Asuka self destructing.
If you just want to compare pure Eva 00 with itself, then it does all the same things, and at this point that's pretty good when the alternative is a pointless lightshow and turning into a cat.

I wish I could hate faggots like you to death. It's effectively the I'm not touching you" game in imageboard form. The most passive-aggressive bitchmade way to troll.
\I'm glad that one Kaworufag suicided if it means getting rid of posters like you.
>>135611946
Why are Kaworufags such shit-eating shameless faggots? You're like a highschool girl clique in your indirectness. How grating.
>>135611984
So how do you watch EoE, if you clearly can't handle that scene?
>>135611929
>The battery packs were attached over the pylons
That's what I said. The pylons are, like the EVA's armor, attachment points for various equipment, and also serve as mounts for air-transport. The pylons are modular and not a part of the humanoid, it's an attachment much like the armor is.
>They clearly don't come with Eva 00 or Eva 01.
This isn't proof. Sorry.
>While Eva 02 was redesigned for EoE, that's for artistic reasons, not canon ones.
Unfortunately even if the reason is artistic, it becomes canon.
>We're to operate under the assumption that the Eva 02 in EoE is the same as the series, which would mean the spike launchers were always there.
We're not to operate under any such assumption. There's more evidence for the opposite., given your earlier cited change in design. The spike launchers were only shown in EoE, and for all intents and purposes would have been installed at an unknown point.
In short, you don't have proof.
>What are these gimmicks?
We've discussed the jets already, and it's a pylon attachment much like the spikes are, and it was introduced earlier than the spikes as well. The Lance of Longinus pairing and the shield also serve as gimmicks inherent to the unit presentation.
It has gimmicks aplenty, and it's not important that it has more or less, the evolution of the unit is.
I recommend you stop resisting, saying B just because I say A even though you know B is incorrect.
>>135612028
Painfully. But there's a difference between watching EoE and some ebin "I just learned how to bait" Kaworufag posting those caps for the millionth time because it can't bait otherwise. It's the most uninspired, guaranteed replies methodology and it's just so fucking tiring. Like, you don't even put in effort you just load yp another image and say "B-but it's canon! XDXD " (I'm not touching you!) Like fuck, don't you have some guro to be currently jacking off to? Or /cm/ to be huddling in? Christ. Just spare one fucking thread your retardation.
>>135612087
But you're talking to a Reifag.
>>135612028
I posted the MP-EVA image and I think it's just a butthurt and sore asukafag or something. I posted them to show the scene where the MP-EVA's tear into EVA02 but I clearly ruffled some feathers in doing so, consider me out.

They use tactics interchangeably. Kaworufags are quite like Reifags when you get beneath the surface.

>>135611929
>So Eva 00 is not particularly special, then. It's a prototype, but it's not any stronger or better than later models.
This is correct. However, being a prototype in itself is rather special. More special than the production model, prototype cars/planes and what not all have superior status and rarity factor than the production models.
>Compared to the original, it got more if you factor Mark 09 in
Mark 09 is quite clearly a different unit, and not a well-presented one at that. Different designation, pilot etc...
>Zeruel effectively performed Armisael's functions of removing Rei 2 and her Eva from the playing field.
Which isn't quite true, as Armisael is defeated by EVA00 and Rei through self destruct, showing off something not in Rebuild quite yet.
Moreover, it comes
>In the original, Rei stopped piloting entirely after that point.
So did everyone but Shinji. At this point, Asuka is a sinking shipwreck who can't pilot her EVA, and we're already at the end of the series. Stopping piloting here is no problem.
>In Rebuild, we get more of Eva 00 in a sense. It's not even made to look pathetic; they make a point of it being too much to deal with, only defeated by Asuka self destructing.
Mark 09 isn't EVA00, and we get less of EVA00 considering it was destroyed in 2.0 already, without even the change of it's paintjob. Much less any new gimmicks.
Mark 09 is also destroyed and is made to seem apersonal and uninteresting, without any real story or mystery.
Rebuild is showing far less of EVA00, and that's an objective fact not to be disputed. But forget Rebuild for a moment, how familiar are you with other representations of these units, such as games, pachinko etc...?
>>135612196
Thanks for the blog post. I'll be sure to subscribe.
>>135612182
What's the difference? The fireposter is clearly a butthurt rei-hating, eva-hating asukafag from what I've seen.
>>135611299
I assumed Lilith was in Terminal Dogma, and they stapled Lillith's mask to Adam or some other thing on the moon. Your idea makes a lot of sense. However with all the coffins on the moon and the things that happened in 3, I'm still thinking some pieces are missing to figure it all out. Is it possible that 4 adams or FAR exist and none of them are strictly adam or lilith?
>>135611641
It's still kinda cool but that's Asuka herself having style.
>>135612243
The fireposter doesn't really like Asuka, he just pretends he does.
The one he really loves is ARK. And dicks.
>>135612246
Not him, but I think the 4 Adams are just the cloned bodies, and the actual Adam is still Kaworu.
The coffins on the moon are the timeloops Kaworu has been through, probably.

Why do you always resort to replying to yourself to build rapport? At least change your typing style. Cellhpone samefagging was so 2014.

That's what I'm saying. The scene where it slices clean through a jet is nifty, too. She's put it to great use despite what some may claim to be an unconvetional weapon, what with Sahaquiel, the MPs and Sandalphon.

Do Reifags really have to rely purely on scapegoats when called out on their shit? what the fuck?
>>135612063
>Unfortunately even if the reason is artistic, it becomes canon.
No. That would be like saying there's a completely new robot built every time they change the size of each Eva, which is frequent. There would be absolutely no reason for them to change Eva 02 so much between Episode 24 and EoE, especially without a functioning pilot.
>Mark 09 is quite clearly a different unit
It's a continuation of Eva 00 in the same way Eva 13 is a continuation of Eva 01. It's meant to evoke the original. It is effectively an upgraded version given an excuse to be different. The point is that it can be seen as an extension of Eva 00, though obviously not exactly the same as it.
> without any real story or mystery.
It's given the status of an Adam, but beyond that you're right.
>how familiar are you with other representations of these units
Don't give a shit about that.
So what it comes down to is that you're more focused on the presentation, while I was talking more about the functions. I'm fine leaving it at that, because frankly I don't care how Eva 00 or any other unit is used in anything but NGE.
>>135612354
I mean, are you really surprised? This has been going on for a good bit. They just need to iron out those mass suicide timetables and all will be daijobu. They've become more rabid these past few months, should only be a matter of time, really.
>>135611984
>I'm glad that one Kaworufag suicided
Wasn't that a Reifag pretending to be a Kaworufag?Again?
>>135612369
>No. That would be like saying there's a completely new robot built every time they change the size of each Eva, which is frequent.
It wouldn't imply that at all, no. You're reaching here, I don't see how the varying sizes would imply an entire story of events where a new EVA is built.
These things are absolute, if an EVA's size is that of a car in one scene, then that's a fact. It is the size of the EVA in that scene.
If it's the size of a building in another scene, then it is that size as a matter of fact in that scene.
We as the viewers know this is attributed to varying quality, but what is presented is fact nevertheless.
>There would be absolutely no reason for them to change Eva 02 so much between Episode 24 and EoE, especially without a functioning pilot.
That's not true, there's a perfectly good reason in fact. EVA02 was damaged from the fight in episode 24 and needed to be recovered. It was for a fact, recovered, otherwise it would not have been available come EoE.
>It's given the status of an Adam, but beyond that you're right.
I'm right even with that status, as there's several Adam's and there is no particular mystery to this unit of any importance whatsoever.
>Don't give a shit about that.
Then you're only caring about a single part of the discussion, neglecting the whole. Since the beginning, this was never Rebuild-specific but I fully acknowledge Rebuild as an important part.
>So what it comes down to is that you're more focused on the presentation, while I was talking more about the functions.
Not at all. It feels like you're evading the argument somehow.
I hold this:
>Rebuild is showing far less of EVA00, and that's an objective fact not to be disputed.
as a matter of fact, while also adding that it is also true in a relative comparison with the other EVA's. You should agree on this.
Also, yes, the functions/presentation also apply here.
>>135612511
I don't know. As far as I'm aware, it was just a rumor. There wasn't really any proof. Could have been fabricated for drama, honestly.
>the fireposter replies to himself without stopping
absolutely amazing
>>135612627
>only say this "fireposter" is replying to himself after an anon calls you out for samefagging and replying to yourself
Coincidence?
>>135612562
The eva's are whatever size is needed to make the framing of the eva look cool.
Eva 02 in the show is the same unit as in EOE
>>135612258
It's an Asukafag.
>>135612562
>We as the viewers know this is attributed to varying quality
The redesign of Eva 02 for EoE is also a matter of varying quality; in this case, improved. It was done for the animation to flow better. I'm saying that, for EoE Eva 02 to be a canon redesign would be just as absurd as believing differently sized Evas are canon redesigns. Stop being dense.
>EVA02 was damaged from the fight in episode 24 and needed to be recovered
Recovered, not redesigned. Nerv was sieged shortly after Kaworu's death, and there would be no need to redesign it for battle after defeating the last Angel.
>there's several Adam's
It having the status of an Adam gives it a mystery element on its own, as we are not clear on what this status provides an Eva. It gives Mark 09 mystery as to what is different about it from others, or what it can tell us about Adam units.
>Then you're only caring about a single part of the discussion
That's why I jumped in quoting only a single part of it.
>You should agree on this.
Okay.
>>135611299>In this case, Rebuild's angels really are the good guys all alongThe Angels were always the good guys, anon.
>>135612813
Lilin are overrated anyway
>>135612675
Yes to both. That it varies in size is a flaw in it's presentation, not unexpected because Evangelion is just fiction and not something real.
>>135612715
>I'm saying that, for EoE Eva 02 to be a canon redesign would be just as absurd as believing differently sized Evas are canon redesigns. Stop being dense.
Quite obviously, you are wrong. It's canonically redesigned, it is different. It is a matter of varying quality, and the use of a strawman argument does not make you any more wrong. Evangelion is not perfect, it has many flaws.
It's lack of internal consistency is apparent but acceptable.
>Recovered, not redesigned.
There is no need for a redesign, and I did not imply it either. However, it must be re-equipped and repaired, potentially with a new loadout. NERV's function is to maintain and field these pilots, it's only natural that they've been doing their job.
>Nerv was sieged shortly after Kaworu's death
Not long enough to keep them from recovering and re-equipping EVA02. They are industrious people, the inhabitants of Tokyo-3.
>It having the status of an Adam gives it a mystery element on its own
No, there's already plenty of Adams. There is no mystery for an EVA that is destroyed, and there is no story tied to it.
Moreover, your point is moot since Mark 09 is not EVA00.
>That's why I jumped in quoting only a single part of it.
Unfortunately in doing so, you've made yourself unqualified to conclude anything, only as far as Rebuild goes can you conclude.
>Okay.
But do you agree or not? This is the actual question.
Because EVA00 has been getting the short end of the stick not only in Rebuild, but also in other places.
>>135612678
No it's not.
It's the fireposter.
>>135612912
The fireposter is an Asukafag.
>>135612947
No, he's just a fag.
That's why he's obsessed with anons riding his dick and getting gay married to ARK.
