{{quote|'''Ritsuko''': We call it Evangelion. It is a synthetic cyborg created to fight the Angels.}}
* [[School Uniforms Are the New Black]]: Shinji will wear his school uniform even when he goes out at night to wander the streets of Tokyo-3. Rei is also an example.
* [[Science Fantasy]]: ''NGE'' is among the [[Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness|very softest science fiction]]. Those [[Humongous Mecha]]? They are revealed to be {{spoiler|biological. CLONED FROM ANGELS! Who are aliens. Aliens with weaponized pseudo-Christian Kabbalah and existentialism-based force fields. And with human-like DNA but a different wavelength color(!?). All predicted by the Dead Sea Scrolls.}} The bodies of [[Doing inIn the Wizard|wizards]] and [[Doing inIn the Scientist|scientists]] alike are strewn across the field.
* [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]]: Geofront has one. {{spoiler|Arguably justified as it's meant as a last-ditch attempt at preventing an Angel from making contact with the [[Captured Super Entity]] kept underground. Naturally, it ends up getting abused.}}
* [[Single -Specimen Species]]: Despite the common denomination of Angels, each of them is completely different from the others, with the exception of the red core near their center. Well, it's more accurate to say that ''most'' of them are completely unique...
* [[State Sec]]: NERV. They are not only funded directly by the UN (actually [[Ancient Conspiracy|SEELE]]), they have special legal protection and are the sole organisation operating Evas. There was one instance where an American admiral was forced to cooperate by a NERV ''captain'', which shouldn't be possible in real life; in another example, the same captain requested a prototype weapon from the Japanese military and immediately got it without any red tape. It is said that their expenses involving Eva repairs and collateral damage could immediately bankrupt a small country. They also happen to have an [[Elaborate Underground Base]] as their main headquarters and a [[Captured Super Entity]] in the basement.
* [[Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe]]: Why are the Angels attacking Tokyo-3? Turns out that the "Black Moon" from which all life on Earth emerged just happens to be right underneath Japan, and their ultimate goal is to get in there and reunite with Adam. Subverted {{spoiler|when Adam wasn't there originally and they were completely heading the wrong direction}}, and then played straight after episode 8 {{spoiler|when Gendo has Adam brought there.}}
Line 34:
* [[Zeerust]]: [[No New Fashions in the Future]]? Check. Casettes? Check. Video games? Asuka loves her <s>Sega</s> [[Bland-Name Product|Seca]].
