I don't think it's meant to be an "all terrain" weapon like the other Eva units though. I think it'll probably make sense in the context of the movie itself, and none of us have seen that yet. It's possible that maybe it has a very specific singular purpose?
The plug suit is ridiculous and ugly too though, so somehow I can't imagine that Mari and her Eva were designed to be appealing in a "pretty" way, but instead designed more like a set of villains maybe? |

The reason it has a jousting lance also suggests that its for head on charging, on rails or flat ground.
Its called Provisional Unit-5, probably because its a temporary refit, for a specific mission. An Angel invading through the train tunnel system or something. EDIT: Also, Ayanami, Shikinami, Makinami, I wonder whether there's a meaning behind naming the girls this way. The 'Nami' in all 3 of their names are of the same kanji, it means 'wave'.

In Gainax are military-tards, they had told before that he just picked names from INJ's Ships... Katsuragi was an IJN carrier.
Now... probably they changed Asuka's name because of that coincidence in the names.

-Both Ayanami and Shikinami belongs to Fubuki typeII class IJN Destroyer, that Type II was also known as "Ayanami Class", but in fact is a Fubuki-subclass, the differences are minimal. -Makinami was an IJN Yugumi Class destroyer. -Soryu was an IJN aircraft carrier... Langley was the very first USN Carrier. -Katsuragi was an IJN Unryu class aircraft carrier. -Illustrious was a WWII RN aircraft carrier and one of the actual carriers of the RN Invencible class aircraft carrier is named Illustrious also. And for the "nami" is very common in the names of IJN's ships... i saw at least a dozen searching info about this.

And that suit is kind of weird in comparison to the others. Maybe it got something to do with the format of her eva. |

Hideous Eva is hideous, and that plug suit is beyond ridiculous. It's almost painfully ugly. I'm with whoever said this doesn't look like a NERV design.
On a brighter note, I do like Mari's glasses. :/ Quote:

Yeah, she's looking pretty fine. Beats both Rei and Asuka in looks IMO. Of course, I doubt I'll end up liking her more than either of those, but yeah. But going by that picture, she seems to be the confident type, something VERY uncharacteristic of your standard Eva pilot. But I guess that's just the outside impression, on the inside she'll probably be much worse. >_> |
