That is true. She may be insane, but compared to her husband or the rest of SEELE/her family? And besides, regardless of her sanity no one can really question, at least in this universe, that she does care for her son.
Eh, apples and oranges. They're both different kinds of reprehensible and I really don't give Yui much morality credit given how she seems to have no trouble ending the world. She could have mangled those MP Evas... but no. Maybe you should go check out/re-check out Shinji's crazed screaming from the instrumentality sequence and then tell me Yui's even remotely a good person.
 
Pretty close: Spiral Energy and the S2 are both basically DNA references.

So, then, what the Children really need for the battle with SEELE is Epic Sunglasses?

This. Kaworu see's a lot of different worlds, overlapped and blurrily. Picture it as watching every version of Eva at once, overlaid on one screen. Basics are easy to see, details hard. He very rarely gets anything like a clean look at one world for very long. And everything he has seen just confirms to him 'Yes, there's a Progenitor down there, and I reach it in a lot of worlds.'

And it's never occurred to him to ask which Progenitor is down there? Logically he knows both must be present in this world, after all. Stupid fish.:D

Rei is acutely aware of where her 'greater body' is. She spent the time Shinji and Asuka were brigged after Bardiel thinking about it, if you recall.

Wonder when she'll tell Kaworu. Could help dampen the call. "Wait, I spent three days searching and I found the wrong one? $^*&@%&%^!!!"

They never quite say when, in Series. I'm assuming he's done so by 'now'.

So getting Adam away from him now probably involves cutting his hand off. Bug, or feature?

In this case, Shinji's much advanced skill at synchronizing and the knowledge that his mother is there are fighting with his being really reluctant to talk to her right now.
Hence the discomfort, yes. Shinji would really, really like some maternal cuddles... but it feels weird now, knowing that she was complicit (however reluctantly and belatedly against it) with Second Impact.

He could always try to turn it to his advantage. "Fine, Mother; you're the genius scientist, so tell me: how SEELE could be plotting to trigger Third Impact? What are the ways? What are the details, what are the mechanics, what are the tools they need?"

No no, you found the right location. You just need to get off the elevator at B3, not BL.;)

Yes.:p

You think Shinji has that backbone to ask his mother those questions, when he hasn't even asked the same questions of his father, who he has far less conflicted feelings over? Shinji is still Shinji.

His father is not only invested in the plan, or some version of it, but could do things to him or his loved ones for Knowing Too Much. Any conversation he has with his mother is quite secret.

And Shinji may still be Shinji, but he's gotten a bit more backbone to him from his experiences. He's at least got a notochord.
 
Where is this from, anyway?
Girlfriend of Steel. Rei is literally fishing for one of the T-RIDEN-Ts. Why they have an EVA-sized fishing line and basket (on standby for just such occassions) I have no idea. And they miss the most essential point of fishing, using a bait. That's what the JSSDF does, later :/ (the bait is Mana. In a cage.)

That's a very good point. Yui doesn't seem to care, or at most only that Shinji survives (hence her taking over against Sachiel, Leliel, Zeruel). See also her rejection of the dummy plug, which basically forces Shinji to go back to piloting.

I approve. :)

I'm tempted to do this now, just so I can have a scene where Kaworu is screaming 'Motherfucker!' :)
So getting Adam away from him now probably involves cutting his hand off. Bug, or feature?
Shinji: "So in order to save the world, we have to mutilate my father? ......:D"

Asuka: "Shinji... are you just happy to see me, or is that a-"

Rei: "Not another word, or we lose our R rating."

What? This is actually a real screenshot? From a real installment in the franchise?
 
Well, from a real, licensed video game. I wouldn't exactly count GoS as "canon" for purposes of the series (or the manga. Or Rebuild. Or...)

Yeah it's more of an additional side story, similar to Second Impression really. Although I don't think SI has ever been translated into English so I never see that one mentioned too much. Neither are really 'proper canon' and just little side stories they did I guess. It's cool when people use the characters and try to tie them into fics though, I see Mana used a fair amount, never see much of Mayumi though.

Your words just made me find out that GoS2 does indeed have an English patch available to it. Might have to give it a try and see how it holds up. :)

Yeah, I've had it for a while just not sat down and got around to playing it. I remember it being a bit of a hassle to set up but nothing awful.

If I had the artistic ability I'd love to try to make a fan made Visual Novel for Eva, unfortunately I don't.

Only if you want them to lose while looking good. They need AWESOME Sunglasses. There's a difference.

Asuka: I'm not really sure I care about the distinction...

Who's more likely to give an honest answer?

Misato probably has a binder labeled, "Let's Get Dangerous!"
 
well I guess thats what happens when I don't post for 30 pagesish and am still pretty new here. (I should get an avatar... but how to properly convey... hmmmm...)
Stryp that comment about ANIMA wasn't actually my first time here lol. I was talking with you about social science and stuff a few weeks back. I'm not complaining about the preview and update though ^^.

It's a fan-sequel to another fic called A Throne of Bayonets. I'm pretty sure that was a deliberate homage, at least.
 
Man, let's not go there. I don't think anyone would survive that crossover.

Could be worse. I once tried to imagine what would happen if you crossed over Evangelion and Homestuck.

But of course that was still mid-comic. Looking back on it now, I realize that the survival rate would probably be atrocious. Could dip well into the negative percentages.

The sunglasses would still be useful, though.
