{{tropelist}}
----
=== This doujinshi provides examples of: ===
 
* [[A God Am I]]: [[Captain Obvious|"God"]], {{spoiler|Shinji and Asuka's unborn child.}}
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
* [[Fanfic]]: Well, obviously.
* [[Filler]]: ''RE-TAKE'' 1.5, arguably, as it adds nothing of real significance to the plot, except for a reveal at the end which RE-TAKE 2 both handles better and uses to invert the significance of a scene from the canon story.
* [[First -Name Basis]]: In one of the most [[Tear Jerker|TearJerking]] examples ever, involving Rei and Asuka. {{spoiler|The night Rei (II) hangs herself, Asuka falls to sleep promising to start calling Rei by name: "Maybe from now on I should start treating her better...Starting tomorrow, I'll call her by her name, at least...Ayanami Rei" *last words of volume 1* (Not counting Shinji's scream.)}} Asuka tries later with Rei III, but gets a...cold reaction: {{spoiler|"Umm... Rei, are you feeling alright?" "Why?" "You were hospitalized..." "Not that. Why do you refer to me by my first name?" "N...No reason in particular." "Then cease, Second. It is most unsettling."}}
* [[Foreign Language Tirade]]: Asuka {{spoiler|After reuniting with the non-possessed Shinji in Germany}} has a fairly romantic one, which is subtitled for the viewers. {{spoiler|Shinji}}, however, doesn't speak German, and so has to ask for clarification. {{spoiler|Asuka provides clarification via a tackle-hug and kiss.}}
* [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You]]: {{spoiler|1=The ending consists of Shinji viewing an ideal, normal future with Asuka, with barely any reference the EVAs, and then proceeds to ''shatter'' the fourth wall and stating that it's a possible future for Shinji.}} It got [[Mind Screw|extremely weird]] from there.
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: {{spoiler|Kaworu gets eaten, and his remains are actually shown.}}
* [[Grasp the Sun]]: Asuka's "death".
* [[Half -Human Hybrid]]: {{spoiler|Shinji and Asuka's unborn child, who is part angel and part human. She simply introduces herself as God. Though a scene from ''After'' implies that she is also from another universe like Ghost-Asuka and Ghost-Shinji.}}
* [[Happily Married]]: Almost reached in ''RE-TAKE 2'', and apparently reached by the end of ''RE-TAKE After''.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Asuka, Shinji, Ghost-Asuka, {{spoiler|Ghost-Shinji}} (I guess that would be the "correct" definition...), Rei ({{spoiler|III}}), {{spoiler|God}}, ''{{spoiler|Gendo}}''...most everyone, really.
Line 67 ⟶ 66:
* [[Mind Screw]]: Especially after {{spoiler|"God"}} shows up.
* {{spoiler|[[The Multiverse]]}}
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Shinji after Rei commits suicide, since he knows that it was his fault. He initially seems to try drowning his sorrows by having sex with Asuka, in part because he knew the 3rd Rei had no feelings for him. Eventually he befriends her however.
* [[Never Found the Body]]: Asuka, Kaworu {{spoiler|or at least his top half; see above.}}
* [[Not -So -Imaginary Friend]]: Ghost-Asuka is neither imaginary, nor (for the first 3-4 books) a friend.
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: {{spoiler|Shinji fights the mass production Evas, and we don't get to see most of the fight. Then when Unit 1 awakens and gets the Lance of Longinus from with Asuka's help, he proceeds to slaughter the Eva series, and ''we don't get to see it.''}}
* [[Original Flavor]]
Line 75 ⟶ 74:
* [[Peggy Sue]]: Subverted. {{spoiler|"The past" is in fact an [[Alternate Universe]], which Shinji experiences by possessing his analogue in that universe. While he is able to change some things in that universe, what happened in his own can not be undone, and in the end, he learns to accept that.}}
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Teased when {{spoiler|Gendo changes his schedule to attend Shinji's wedding}}. Turns out it was [[The Plan|all part of the plan.]]
* [[RaceforRace For Your Love]]: Done twice: once normally, with Misato {{spoiler|chasing down a departing Kaji}} in a [[Tank Goodness|tank]], and once as a subversion. {{spoiler|Shinji}} gets there in time (thanks to, among other things, Misato's car and ''[[Serial Escalation|Rei's Evangelion]]''), but {{spoiler|Asuka}} decides that it would be kinder to {{spoiler|Shinji}} to let him keep the image of a strong, self-reliant love in his mind rather than a broken, depressed love physically. It doesn't quite work like she intends it.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: Pulled off by ''{{spoiler|Gendo}}'' of all people.
* [[Spanner in The Works]]: No amount of planning by SELEE or Gendo could possibly prepare them what foils their plans this series.
Line 81 ⟶ 80:
** Also Touji, as Shinji knows that if doesn't do anything, Gendo will activate Unit 01's dummy plug, [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome|cripples it without killing him,]] though he's [[Put On a Bus]] for the next two chapters since he was still injured during the fight.
* [[Survivor Guilt]]: Shinji gets this. Twice. (Possibly thrice, if you count {{spoiler|1) Original [[End of Evangelion]] ending, 2) Rei's suicide, 3) Asuka's sacrifice.}}
* [[Tank Goodness]]: Misato {{spoiler|[[RaceforRace For Your Love|chasing down a departing Kaji]]}} in one, no less.
* [[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.}}
* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]:
Line 91 ⟶ 90:
* [[Victory Guided Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|After the MP-Eva's are defeated, Shinji and Asuka (the pair from the alternate universe, not Ghost/Canon Asuka and Shinji) wake up but have no memories past the events of the 12th angel.}}
* [[With This Ring]]: {{spoiler|The ending to ''RE-TAKE After''.}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: The general reaction to Shinji {{spoiler|EATING}} Kaworu. Oh, and some people's reactions to {{spoiler|Gendo's}} swift change from nice, {{spoiler|almost fatherly figure}} to an uncompromising, uncaring nigh [[Complete Monster]] who orders, without flinching, the destruction of {{spoiler|Unit 02and Asuka, on the day Shinji was going to marry her}}.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Subverted, as Shinji {{spoiler|ends his own existence rather than destroy the world.}} Shinji is still alive, but he loses all the memories of the events in ''RE-TAKE''. ...okay, that explanation sucked.
** So let's explain it with spoilers! {{spoiler|Shinji, who is actually Shinji from Universe A (canon/ghost Shinji), possessing Shinji from Universe B, realizes that if he stays in Universe B, he will be the end of humankind in Universe B because '''HE''' (Canon/Ghost Shinji) is the final angel instead of Kaworu. Thus, to ensure survival of the people in Universe B, he relieves his control of Universe-B Shinji, who afterwards has none of Universe-A Shinji's memories (and is no longer an angel).}} [[Mind Screw|This is about close to as we get to an explanation.]]
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Touji. And what a hit!
