RE-TAKE: Difference between revisions

* [[Timey-Wimey Ball]]

* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: See [[Awful Truth]] above. {{spoiler|though if you want an explanation, here's an attempt: As explained above by [[Peggy Sue]], RE-TAKE takes place in an [[Alternate Universe]], which canon-Shinji (or rather Ghost-Shinji) experiences by possessing his analogue in that universe. However, by bending the universes in this manner, he has unknowingly created a new kind of alternate human being (i.e. a human possessed by an other-worldly entity), meaning that '''he''' is the final angel instead of Kaworu.}}

** You wouldn't think it possible to make Gendo ''more'' of a bastard. '''''They did.'''''. {{spoiler|It is indicated that Gendo KNEW that sending Asuka out against Armisael (the 16th Angel -- the floating helix-ring) would result in her death, and did so anyway to make sure that Shinji, when implementing Instumentality, would follow Gendo's scheme to meet their loved ones.}} Let me just make this clear: {{spoiler|Gendo sent his soon-to-be-daughter-in-law (one day later, and it would have been daughter-in-law), and his grandchild to their deaths merely to make sure that Shinji followed Gendo's basic desire in Instrumentality.}} What. A. BASTARD!

** Shinji suffers from this a bit, at least in Volume 2: "No, it doesn't really matter. She's the third, anyway."
