Line 3:
* [[Cash Cow Franchise]]: Let's face it, the volume and variety of merchandise that's been created for ''Evangelion'' is up there with [[Kiss]].
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: So much of it, it actually originated from [[Creator Breakdown]]. Some parts of the manga suggest Sadamoto isn't too happy or wholesome either, though not as "broken" as Anno.
* [[Defictionalization]]: Operation Yashima, the plan to reroute all of Japan's electricity into a single sniper rifle to take down an Angel, was the name given to a [[Twitter]] campaign to support Tokyo Electric's plan [http://www.animenewsnetwork.
* [[Development Hell]]: It's largely forgotten by now, but ''The End of Evangelion'' was in this for a brief period, which is why so many Japanese viewers who went to see ''Death and Rebirth'' were pissed off at the [[Cut Short|sudden cut-off]] of an ending. There's also the live-action movie (a co-production between [[Studio Gainax|GAINAX]], ADV and [[WETA]]), which has allegedly been "in pre-production" since 2003. ''Rebuild of Evangelion'' also counts; ''2.0'' was delayed a full year after its original release date, and ''3.0'''s is around three years after 2.0's. Keep in mind that the tetralogy was supposed to be ''finished'' by now.
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Yuko Miyamura allowed herself to be strangled by Megumi Ogata in the recording room during Shinji's vision of strangling Asuka in ''End of Evangelion.''

** GNR, or Giant Naked Rei, for the so-large-as-to-be-very-easily-visible-from-space {{spoiler|glowing white naked Rei that Lilith transforms into.}}
** "[[The Woobie|Puppy-kun]]" for Shinji, at least for Eva fans who like him.
** EMK, or Evil Manga Kaworu, for the Kaworu who {{spoiler|kills a kitten}} in the
** "Yui-sama" for {{spoiler|Unit 01}}.
** "Uberpimp" for Gendo. {{spoiler|Super Gendo, Super Adam Gendo}} and others for {{spoiler|his insane AT Field-generating incarnation}} in the manga.
Line 44:
** Even more [[Fridge Brilliance]] when you realize that ''Shikinami'' was only mentioned in ''Rebuild''. Remember that the ''Ayanami'' is a ''Destroyer''-class battleship. Exactly what happened during the original series?
* Looks like everyone has an interesting [[Meaningful Name]]. ''Makinami'', the [[Meganekko]] in ''Rebuild'', has two variants:
** When the kanji for ''nami'' (波) is placed behind ''maki'' (真希), this will literally mean "wave winding", which can reference "momentum" and/or "velocity". In turn, this relates over to the speed of light mentioned earlier, in which light is found to have both mass and velocity in the form of an electron/photon. For comparison to this "speed of light", her personality (as it is on the [[Neon Genesis Evangelion/Characters|Characters page]]) is most often described as a hard-hitter who normally presses [[Berserk Button
** The second variant is when the kanji for ''unusual''(!) (which is 希) is removed from the above. This new term (波真, which is now ''nami shin'') now has an entirely new meaning: ''True Wave''. This would be best represented by how, near the ending of ''Rebuild 2.0'', Makinami unleashes an entirely new form of the EVA. She explains this as a pilot "rids itself of its humanity", and she uses code word to unlock this new form: ''The Beast''. Note that the Angels are, as per NERV's research, [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|supposed to bear a 99.89 percent similarity to humanity]]. That research, along with the above information, makes this "Beast" form not a coincidence.
* On another note, the interconnecting theme to the pilots here is how they have some usage of [[wikipedia:Momentum|the equation for momentum]] of light used in [[Visual Pun|Chemistry(!)]] and other sciences. Applying [[Fridge Logic]] based on the above given information, we have (in SI Units): Makinami (representing momentum, in kg*m/s) = Ayanami (representing frequency, in "1/s") x Shikinami (representing wavelength, in "m") x Shinji (representing mass, in "kg"; remember his name literally means ''anchor'').
