Aeon Entelechy Evangelion: Difference between revisions

* [[Angry Guard Dog]]: Cybernetically modified and armoured ArcSec guard dogs with their shoulders reaching up to average man's waist, with the chips installed in their brain to be more alert. Toja's neighbor has a retired guard dog who is [[Big Friendly Dog|quite friendly]], though.

* [[An Offer You Can't Refuse]]: Gendo "recruited" Shinji with the threat that not joining the Evangelion project will result in removal of protection that keeps Shinji from the hands of various R&D departments...and their [[They Would Cut You Up|saws]].

* [[Anticlimax]]: The Harbinger-4 {{spoiler|false alarm}} in Chapter 4.

* [[Arc Words]]: "''It was time''" and any variation of it.

* [[Eye Scream]]: Hollow socket variant with Rei. In the battle against Asherah, it {{spoiler|rips Unit 01's eye out with lamprey-like hands}}.

* [[Failsafe Failure]]: Averted; most of the failsafe failures were the results of said failsafes being damaged or destroyed. Asuka complained on how they screwed things up when dealing with [[Subsystem Damage]], though.

* [[Fan Disservice]]: Chapter 14.

* [[The Federation]]: The New Earth Government, of which the political branches are currently infighting on [[Sliding Scale of Libertarianism and Authoritarianism|the subject of regional autonomy and/or centralization]].

* [[Fictional Document]]: Excerpts used as epigraphs for chapters and the diary from Chapter 14.

* [[Functional Magic]]: Broadly categorized into Occult (old school magic), Empirical Sorcery (magic after applying the scientific method) and Theoretical Sorcery (the logical extreme of [[Mad Mathematician]]).

* [[Fusion Fic]]: In addition to merging ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', ''[[Cthulhu Tech]]'' and ''[[FEAR]]'', the ''[[Alastair Reynolds|Revelation Space]]'' and ''[[Eclipse Phase]]'' stuff that started to appear heavily in later parts of ''ANE'' are now featured more prominently.

* [[Giant Flyer]]: Harbingers 2 and 6.

* [[Ghost Town]]: Rei lives in an otherwise abandoned arcology dome. It's all clean, and tidy {{spoiler|well, apart from her room}}, and...empty.

** Looking at a Harbinger, even through auto-censored video feeds, induces insanity and nightmares ''very'' quickly.

** Used by various groups to get information, or just to inflict torment.

** The Tsuchigumo, as befits their [[Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex|heritage]].

** The Recon mecha are described as being borderline [[Powered Armor]].

* [[Neck Lift]]: Done by the Heavy Combated Infantry Blank, in Chapter 7.

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: The technical classification of the Evangelions, "''arcanocyberxenobiological organisms''" translates roughly as ''magic cyborg alien robots''.

** Shinji on Eshmun after the former snapped.

** Corporal Xuan Do on the Blank in chapter 7.

* [[People Jars]]: The medical variation with Rei inside {{spoiler|and then Shinji}}.

* [[Phlebotinum Analogy]]: When Ritsuko explains what they found out researching Eshmun's corpse to Misato, the latter mentions "classical" waves and particles. This annoyed Ritsuko.

* [[Playing Possum]]: What a Migou cultist ends up doing in Chapter 7, completely by accident.

* [[Point Defenseless]]: Averted. Those laser point-defense systems on the Evangelions are good at their jobs.

* [[Shoot the Hostage]]: Standard NEG Military policy is to ignore [[Human Shield|Human Shields]].

* [[Shown Their Work]]: The author is a physics student, and it shows.

* [[Show Within a Show]]: Misato watches a scene from ''[[Hammer Horror|Doom of the Revenge of the Baroness of the Darkness of the West]]''. Later on, Shinji, Toja and Kensuke see a bad patriotic film depicting the events of the Migou "First Strike" on Antarctica, obviously [[Mythology Gag|based on]] the similarly overacted "Second Impact" film in the Evangelion series.

* [[Sliding Scale of Robot Intelligence]]: Various, starting with dumb LAIs, moving up to muses, a form of personal assistant programme, and ending with TITAN networks, although nobody has a idea of the latter's level of sapience or if it even exists.
