Is that a recoloured Yui holding a baby Sachiel? That's a recoloured Yui holding a baby Sachiel.

Why does this exist?

How does this exist?

I seem to be in the same boat as Agaki, as my mind has only this further to say: Why am I still here? Just to suffer?
It's actually a picture of epilogue rei from Girlfriend of Steel 2, dependent on choosing her in the gameplay. It's originally of her with a normal baby. I found this sachiel edit a ways back.
 
Babies make everything better. Even if they are still unspeakable weirdlings that break science and the brains that use it.
 
Assuming the MP Evas have comparable baseline performance to Units 01 and 02, it's a 2 on 9 fight. Even if Shinji can marshal the wherewithall to sortie and get Unit 01 out of the bakalite, how right is his head going to be after having killed Kaworu and watch Misato die? Maybe Unit-01 might go berzerk, maybe not. It all depends on how aware Yui really is in there. There might be a repeat of what happened to the Big Z, there might not.

In EoE, Asuka soloed ALL the MP EVAs until they got in a surprise attack with a copy-lance going through her AT Field like it wasn't even there and trashing her arm. Then a follow up attack through the eye, and then her battery ran dry and she was helpless. When it looked like Unit-02 was about to go Berserk the MP EVAs pinned it to the ground by turning it into a giant pin cushion with the lances, stopping the nascent Berserk in its proverbial tracks.

The implication is still there that for all the external damage she did, Asuka's last stand didn't do anything to stop the MP-EVAs themselves, or even so much as make them do anything more than stop messing around. They were purpose built to offer up Unit-02 as a sacrifice and use Unit-01 as a vehicle of apotheosis. So unless SEELE is run by incompetents, the controlling element of the MP-EVAs should have been made to be better fighters in every possible way: agility, strength, numbers, weapons, and tactics. They also seemed to lack the limitations of human pilots, namely any kind of pain response or internal organs.

Yeah, she mopped to floor with them for a bit, then the got back up and skewered her, with little regard for the damage they took.
 
Naoko built the MAGI, but had nothing to do with Rei's creation: She was surprised to be introduced to her by Gendo in 2005. Rei was entirely a project by Gendo and Fuyutsuki.

"I plan to salvage Yui's soul out of Unit-01 by creating a particle-wave matter-based clone of her as a receptacle."

"Here's one I prepared earlier."

"Sensei, why do you have a clone of my...you know what I don't want an answer to that."

Just imagine having to baby-proof your home against a baby Angel that can shoot megadeath lasers. Or a baby angel with telescoping arms. Or a baby angel drooling acid everywhere.

Rei, after having to deal with yet another hole in the ceiling: I can't take this anymore! I'm cutting you off! No more babies!
Kaworu: Wait, what are those scissors for?

Imagine trying to catch the Baby version of Leliel?

Rei: Oh great, not only did she not eat her dinner but she pulled us into a pocket dimension again!
 
Especially if she realizes the answer could very well be 'both of them...'
I had that thought about 2 seconds before I read this sentence.

We can always count on you.

So the MP series is superior to the baseline performance of Unit-01 or -02. They are controlled by Dummy Plugs, so it is possible they might lack initiative or creativity.
Based on that, the only possible path to victory depends on -01 and -02 turning the volume up to 11. For Asuka, that means connecting with her mother, and Shinji, it means letting Unit-01 off the chain.

Then again... have we ever seen Pen² and EVA-01 in the same shot?
No. No we have not. :whistle:

Or himself. Remember, Shinji was beating Zeruel like a rented mule all by himself, no need for Yui. He was literally in the middle of ripping Zeruel's face off when he ran out of power. Another 1 minute of batteries, and Shinji would have crushed the Angel of Might without any need to berserk. Shinji's got a lot of anger he can call on if he has cause to. And right now anything you might call 'a threat to Asuka or Rei' (such as '9 MP Evas with ill intent'), is a pretty good cause.

Which is when we find out the position canon will then be used to snipe by the Japanese government against the units.

Had Asuka aim for the Dummy Plugs or the cores, she almost certainly would won the fight. The only reason she lost was because Fuyutsuki failed to inform her about the former and that the fact they had S2 engines.
