Line 26:
** 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
** 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'').
Line 32:
* 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.
* The US voice actors for the three main Children all married the original voice actors for the [[Bridge Bunnies]]: [[Amanda Winn
----
* Frame by frame on Episode 22, during the [[Mind Rape]] sequence, we get some...[[Incredibly Lame Pun|creepy analysis]] of what the Angel is doing. In order (apply [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] throughout):
