Neon Genesis Evangelion/Trivia: Difference between revisions

** 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'').

* The Evangelions were based visually on [[Go Nagai]] creations ''[[Devilman]]'' and ''[[Mazinger Z]].'' Anno cites the terrifying face, slender build, hunched back and chest plate as coming from Devilman, while its glowing eyes with the red markings were derived from Mazinger Z. The first shot of Evangelion, with its large head, was a direct homage to the first episode of Mazinger Z.

* The opening shot of ''The End of Evangelion'' is a mirror image of the closing shot of ''Evangelion: Death''. The opening shot of ''Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0'' is a reflection of the closing shot of ''The End of Evangelion'', with a few... scenery details removed.
