No, wait, better yet: Rei emptied out the Reiquarium and is going full Ree on Tokyo-3 and the Geofront. Any time one of them is caught they burst into LCL and reform when the NERV goons/Section 2 leaves for a still-corporeal Ree.

That got really weird really fast.

Would it be a massive breach of Japanese etiquette to pound the wall a time or two if the people on the other side are too loud at night? For that matter, is the wall solid enough to thump, or would you just put your hand through it?

(It's the idea of Rei Ayanami of all people being exasperated enough to do so that really makes the mental image...)

I think pounding on the wall is considered gauche in all cultures, except maybe college dorms...

Wrong pilot in the middle of the sandwich. Rei needs the love right now.

Also occurs to me that that's a huge apartment for one teenage girl whose interior decorating philosophy can be charitably summed up as 'Spartan.' What's she do with the other two bedrooms? Rent one to Asuka to store all her boxes in?

This and remembering @The Englanderish's comedy omake, Not-Tonsils gave me a thought that will almost certainly get me storm of "Lewds."

All I ask is this; did you ever lick a 9 volt battery?
Now cogitate on that one for a moment. :ogles:

They are not "Adam-flesh" in the same way Unit 01 is "Lilith-flesh". They are Adamite tissue, like the angels, like the humans are Lilithian tissue.

Okay, now I'm well and truly confused...
Adam-flesh versus Adamite tissue?

Yeah, I worded that badly.

EVA-01 was literally formed out of Lilith's leg. Meanwhile, the angels and other Evangelions were not formed out of parts of Adam's body. They have Adamite flesh, but not literally Adam's flesh. Just as we Lilim have Lilithian flesh, but not literally Lilith's flesh.

Never change, Asuka.

Here's a thought. Gendo decides Rei II isn't worth kills her and brings Rei III online with the backup from circa Zeruel.
Gendo: Your previous version was damaged and not recovering quickly enough. She was also becoming too attached to the 2nd and 3rd Children. Judging by Section 2 footage, a liaison between her and the 3rd Child was not unrealistic. She was eliminated.
Rei III: Footage? what was happening?
Gendo: Gestures of affection. Hugging, etcetra. It is irrelevant.
Rei III: I was getting hugs?
Gendo: It had to stop to preserve the scenario, so I stopped it.
Rei III: I was getting hugs and you killed me to.... ::Rei looks angry::
Gendo: Is there a problem?
Rei III: YOU STOPPED MY HUGGLES! ::eyes glowing red::

Then where did that flesh come from? You can't just create matter from nowhere, so they would have had to have found some source of Adamite tissue, i.e. an Angel, and used that. Couldn't have been Kaworu, because as you yourself said, he's the same as Rei: a human body with something else's soul stuffed in.

We -do-, actually. An angel merging with ADAM would make an Impact-event that spreads the Seed of Life for -that- particular Angel across the planet, making that Angel's miniature copies the dominant breed of Fruit of Life existence on that particular planet. Incidentally, it's exceedingly likely that such an Impact event would wipe out all of the -current- life on the planet, as the -starter horn- for the 'race to Daddy' wiped out -half- of it all on its own.

That's fine and dandy, but Adam isn't the one down in Terminal Dogma. Lilith is.

You're still thinking in the wrong categories. Evangelions are not robots that are assembled by sticking parts together. You don't need to take any flesh from anywhere. You grow the Evangelions. They are organisms. And as for the original tissue they copied and grew - well, Adam's, of course. That's why EVA development began after 2I. But there is a difference between "being grown from X's tissue" and "literally carved out from X's flesh". EVA-01 is the latter; all other EVAs are the former.

True, but if it were Adam - I just remembered something else, Kaworu's monologue declaring that him "returning" to Adam would wipe out humanity. So, yeah, apparently, that's a thing, and NERV using Lilith as a sort of fake lure for the angels is just one more protection measure. And as for Lilith herself... well... if Angel/Adam causes a Third Impact, I wouldn't wanna take my chances with Angel/Lilith, really.

But where did the flesh they grew come from? You can't start with nothing. Besides, "grown from Adam's Flesh" and "carved from Adam's Flesh" are essentially the same, what with both being the flesh of Adam, in the end. The angels are derived from Adam (they're close, but they aren't Adam), the EVAs (except unit-01) are copied (for all intents and purposes, they are Adam).

As for "return to progenetator=Impact event", then the only way Lilith could cause a "natural" impact would be if all humanity returned to her. SEELE's plan was to force that by basically forcing a "factory reset" by introducing biological malware, that is, Adam Tissue into Lilith tissue, a state both are genetically programmed to reject.

Now that I think about it, sending things made out of exactly what the Angels want is a colossally stupid idea. Perhaps the changes that the human souls make to the non-MP-EVAs make enough of a difference, which is why the MP-EVAs were never sent to help (aside from SEELE not risking their shot at god-hood).

Let's put a pin in this right here, before things get ugly.
 
Also, gently on speculating too much about the Pilot's and friends love lives. I don't want anyone to skid over the edge.

Suffice to say that Kensuke, Sayaka, and Kyoko are having a great deal of fun carefully exploring what being a trio means. Rei's lessons on how to treat a girl with respect are paying dividends, and both girls are happy to have him for both cover and companionship. Kensuke never pushes: He's still too amazed this isn't his imagination, and happily lets the girls set the pace. Their most daring escapade so far was spending the night together... sleeping. No shenanigans, just the three of them cuddling and sleeping. It was daring due to the chance of being caught.

QQ would require me making an account. I prefer not to. If I ever do feel the need to write such, I'll have a proxy post it, since I know a few of you are there.

In any case, the next scene is Shinji and Gendo, meaning this will be tricky. It's just a bit emotional.

I'll just be glad when we're past the Gendoh scene; the buildup is worse than any actual scene could be (and I didn't bat an eye to Twilight Sparkle's descent into madness).

Worst case scenario: Gendoh tries to keep him locked up. With emphasis on 'tries'!

I hope emotional doesn't translate to Gendo beating Shinji up for disobeying his orders.
 
Shinji is going to raise the issue of 'Why did you destroy every picture of mother? You took her away from me!'

Gendo will not take this well.
 
Susano said:
Wouldn't it make more sense to just not deploy EVA-01? Yes, theoretically you can shift Rei to 01, and Kaworu to 00 (since it's also an Adamite EVA), but... why? The best guarantee to not have EVA-01 put into danger is to bench Shinji and freeze EVA-01. After all, three EVAs (00, 02, 03) should be enough to deal with any problem, right? ;)

I think Gendo is well aware that he can't afford to bench one of his Evas. Zeruel showed quite clearly just how narrow the margin between failure and victory is even when you use everything you've got.

Plus, Arael must have been a rude awakening for Gendo. Were it not for the Lance of Longinus (which they no longer have), they would have had no options whatsoever for fighting back against the Angel. And considering that the one before that was Zeruel, who brute-forced his way through everything they had and almost won, it's a worrying trend.
