I don't understand why everyone thinks it's so depressing...Shinji gains hope that one day he may no longer suck and Yui said that anyone could re-form if they really wanted to....what's so bad about that?

Impossible. One of Asuka's eyes is bandaged. The other eye is blue, as always. And I haven't checked yet, but I don't think Asuka's upper chest (where Misato's scar is located) is visible, as she is wearing her plug suit.

I've heard of this "Asuka mix" theories before.

I'd always thought that the bandages on Asuka when she reappeared was to "repair" her, because she was injured badly when the mass produced EVAs tore through EVA-02. If you notice, she has a bandage on the eye where one of the Spears pierced through Unit 2, and also there is the bandage on the right hand where a Spear split her hand in two. That's why I don't think the bandages have any relation to Rei.

So, considering Asuka is Asuka, I think Shinji chose her because she's the closest to a girlfriend that he has. Rei was more like a mother to him (since Rei is essentially of Yui anyways) and Misato was more like a big sister to him (one who cares for him but that's about it). Shinji doesn't have any kind of family attachment to Asuka, so that's why she was chosen.

A new version of The End of Evangelion was released on June 25, 2003 in Japan by Starchild and King Records as part of Renewal of Evangelion...

...Manga Entertainment has said it is "ironing out the contracts" to release the Renewal versions of Death & Rebirth and The End of Evangelion, hoping to have them out sometime in 2007.

Can anyone follow up any more info on this? I just bought the Eva Platinum Edition, and thought "wow, not the ending i liked, where's my asuka battle to death part? where's my UN going into NERV battle?" Must... have... movie renewal lol.

*BUMP*

We need to continue discussing this amazing movie.

The rebuild movies are were we continue talking. This version is all of a sudden "not what Hideaki wanted"

Kudryavka · 2013-03-02, 16:40

Just finished watching End of Evangelion.

And, there's something I'm confused on.

Spoiler for major spoilers if you did not watch EoE!:

LeoXiao · 2013-03-02, 16:50

I think that

Spoiler for spoiler:

And yeah, that was a weird movie, but a fitting end to the series.

Kudryavka · 2013-03-02, 19:19

Thank you LeoXiao, it may just be up to us to interpret.

But this movie, and all of Eva before it, was definitely great. I was really surprised to found out they continued Eva after End of Evangelion though! (But now I know Rebuild is just an alternate retelling lol)

They pretty much wrecked 02 completely, so Asuka most certainly died and was tang'd in the meantime as well. As for why she was feeling pain, I believe she was fully synced during the fight and that kind of connection is not easily severed on demand. Basically, plenty of pain regardless.

This movie was made to take your expectations and smash them in your face. Over and over again. The funny thing is, I like it a little more than what I've read about Evangelion 3.0--all the original psychological pain and anguish tossed out to become a blockbuster mecha action movie.

Right now the Evangelion manga is covering what is the last few minutes of EoE. I really wonder just where Sadamoto will take it this around time and whether all the changes he's made to his version will actually change the final result, or if he'll be forced to toe the line.

Kudryavka Senior Member Join Date: May 2009	Just finished watching End of Evangelion. And, there's something I'm confused on. Spoiler for major spoilers if you did not watch EoE!: Did Asuka die when the Mass Production Evas destroyed Eva-02? Usually when the pilot is connected to their Eva, they can feel their Evas pain. But Eva-02 ran out of battery power right before Asuka was attacked by the MPEs (again). But what confused me is that it seemed that Asuka was still feeling extreme pain when the MPEs were attacking her, even though her connection with Eva-02 should have been severed since the power ran out. So if somehow she did feel Eva-02's pain, of course she probably died from the pain (and was then brought back because she wanted to live so badly at the end of the movie). But if she did not feel Eva-02's pain, then did she ever die? Did the MPEs kill her by attacking where the Entry Plug is located on Eva-02? Or in fact, can the pilot still be connected to their Eva even without power?

LeoXiao 思想工作 Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Vereinigte Staaten Age: 31	I think that Spoiler for spoiler: whether or not she died is supposed to be ambiguous, but that she went through an extreme amount of pain is for sure. Because her Eva was defeated, skewered multiple times, and eaten, it's probable that the entry plug was also crushed, so yeah, she died. But Instrumentality happened about the same time so that's why she got revived. And yeah, that was a weird movie, but a fitting end to the series.
