Shinji and Warhammer40K/Shout-Out: Difference between revisions

Bpen loves making [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to other works. Here are some of them:

 

 

* Evangelion Fantasy Battles is painfully obvious.

 

* Chapter 10: Touji and Kensuke pointing to the sky and asking Asuka: "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!?"

** And of course, many variations by many different characters.

* Chapter 10, also: Toji: "To those who have faith, as long as the chances aren't zero it might as well be a hundred!"

* Chapter 32: One of the trooper sergeants shouts to his squad before the underwater battle, "Pile on, boys! Show these scum who we are! Time to go kick reason to the curb and go Beyond The Impossible. PIERCE THE ALIENS WITH YOUR DRILL!"

* Chapter 36: "You don't have to believe in yourself, you're just going to mess things up that way! Believe in me who believes in you!"

* "Hey! Yamagishi! Listen...! If you can't believe in yourself, then believe in me who... [[Precision F-Strike|fuck it]], I'm not finishing that."

 

* From chapter 19:

{{quote|[[A New Hope|"You're going in that thing?" Asuka said to Mana with exaggerated disbelief. "You're braver than I thought."]]}}

** Which, considering that character's fondness for the movies (he also designed a lightsaber-esque version of their crystal tipped staves), is probably intentional on the character's part.

* Chapter 43: Gendo's thirteenth Evangelion plan, involving Earth's Cradle, is nicknamed the Death Star plan.

 

* Also: "There was the sound of tearing metal, the feel of cold rushing air on his face; the knowing the entire train was going off the rails and inexplicably flying through the air with the greatest of ease... tumbling, sky, ground, sky, ground, was that a potted plant?"

* "What's so interesting out there, anyway?" "Mm. Life. The universe. Everything."

 

* Endure. And in enduring grow strong.

* "What can change the nature of a man?"

 

* Then again, Javaal is a silly place.

* "HA! I taunt in your general direction!".

 

* Later chapters contain a large number of references to Sid Meyer's Alpha Centauri as well, and the {{spoiler|zombie plague's}} origins may be relatives of ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'''s Goa'uld.

** Chapter 38 possibly references ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'': "Is the Trident that so different from the Eva? It at least did not require an activation gene."

 

* Javaal's Temple of Trials, with its giant ants and scorpions.

** The Vaultec Pip Boy Kensuke has in the [[Hot Springs Episode]].

* Chapter 38: "War, war never changes."

 

* [[G Gundam|"My hand is burning! Its shine is calling out for me to defeat you!"]]

{{quote|She looked at the mailing list and saw that one of the scientists was actually named [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Minovsky.]] It took her half an hour to stop laughing.}}

** When discussing what to call the Asshimar, the name ''mobile suit'' comes up. Asuka promises to stab the first person to refer to them as such.

** "Souls weighed down by gravity." Contolism, anyone?

 

* "Shinji had the strangest urge to name [the Evangelion transport] a [[Firefly|Hotaru]] carrier. In the end, he decided he wouldn't bless its machine spirit with ''[[Serenity|Gran Serena]]'' until it got itself equipped with a few 'bringer of battlefield serenity' heavy autocannons or N2 mines."

 

* "I know young mister Ikari has a saving people thing..."

* Neither could live while the other survived.

 

* Chapter 27: A pattern of sunken lines appeared across Iruel's body. Lines which then grew bright red, and a similar constant beam shot forth.

** Maya muttered something about preferring the name 'Cortana'. A naked female advisor would have been just too obvious as marketing appeal.

 

* After the MAGI goes down ''yet again'' in Chapter 40, Admiral Yang wonders if giving one computer so much power is a good idea, explicitly comparing the MAGI to Skynet.

** Chapter 42: "No fate but what we make!"

 

* Aside from Sparks and all that, there's a soldier named ''Wulfenbach'', who basically turns [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshading]] [[Up to Eleven]] at the same time:

{{quote|"This is getting ridiculous." he said, completely overlooking again that he should have had to reload -sometime- after shooting burst after burst with his Bolt Pistol. He had however, found a hat along the way. It was a [[Nice Hat]].}}

** Chapter 42: When Ritsuko connects with MAGI, she speaks and acts in a way eerily similar to Castle Heterodyne.

 

* "It is not as if you would go on a ten-year training trip to learn martial arts, criminology, and high technology just to dress up like a bat and punch people in the face."

* Chapter 42: [[The Dark Knight|"Some days he just wanted to see the world]] ''[[The Dark Knight|burn]]''[[The Dark Knight|."]]

 

* Shinji [[Memetic Mutation|is a good boy!]]

* The name for this! IS [[Dynamic Entry|DYNAMIC ENTRY!]]

 

* "We will not [[Combining Mecha|gattai]] the Evas or their pilots. Such thoughts lead inevitably to [[Transformation Sequence|transformation sequences]]."

 

 

 

* [[Azumanga Daioh|Suddenly, each MP Eva wished they were a bird.]]

* Chapter 35: [[Hellsing|"Monsters will never defeat monsters. Only humans will be able to kill the Angels."]]

* The way the AT-fields work is described before the Sahaquiel fight as the "secret of Blue Water".

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* "Going hand to hand against an Angel leads to Bad Things. Green things. Angry green things. Please, Misato-san. [[The Incredible Hulk|You wouldn't like me when I'm angry, Misato-san.]]."

{{quote|''Rip and tear. The Evangelion had huge guts. Blood splattered the ground, the walls, everything nearby.''}}

* While shuffling anyone with psychic potential off to Tokyo-3 as some sort of [[Marvel Civil War|Metahuman Registration Act]] actually works out to our advantage, that doesn't mean we don't need to act with subtlety.

* "...[[Green Lantern|Remember why color of willpower is green]]..." in Chapter 28.

 

 

== [[Film]] ==

* Way, way back in the prologue, Shinji thinks of Agents Jiro and Kentaro as "[[Men in Black (film)|agents J and K]]".

* [[The Wizard of Oz (film)|"She stood up, clicked her heels twice, and disappeared."]]

** Not to mention the artifact in question is the Ark of the Covenant.

* Chapter 29: "[[Ghostbusters|I'm sorry, Katsuragi. I'm frightened beyond the capacity for rational thought."]]

* Chapter 41: Shinji remarks on [[House of Leaves|a very strange]] {{color|blue| house}}.

* Chapter 42: [[Ender's Game|"Tell them the enemy's gate is down."]]

* Chapter 5: The Space Marine put down his bolter. [[Ciaphas Cain|"Frak this; for my faith is a shield proof against your blandishments."]]

 

* [[Red Dwarf|"Kensuke... what a guy."]]

* Chapter 42: [[Lost|"The hatch cover exploded open."]]

 

== [[Music]] ==

** Chapter 40 has Rei declaring "The probabilities will align, or the potentialities will be destroyed for great justice."

* [[Chrono Trigger|"... red star, fall! Stain the earth... red!"]]

* [[Warcraft|Tremble, mortals, and Despair.]]

* Chapter 34: "[[Half Life|Is that a headcrab?]]"

* From Chapter 30: [[Metal Gear Solid|"Or do you think love cannot bloom on the battlefield?]]

* Chapter 39: "The face of war was a red-haired teenaged girl, perhaps brash and stupidly competitive even at the best of times, but if there was a [[The Legend of Zelda|force, a trinity of golden power adrift in the world; then she held Courage aplenty.]]

== [[Western Animation]] ==

* Chapter 17: [[South Park|Screw you bastards, I'm going home]].

* [[Looney Tunes|"Spear and magic helmet!"]]

* Kaji refers to Gendo as, "[[G.I. Joe|(cobra) commander]]"[sic].

{{quote|'''Dr. Lader:''' "She can't be... she's just going to completely blast [[Dungeon Bypass|through the walls]]?!" }}

* "What are you looking at, [[Starship Troopers|you apes]]?! [[Gaunt's Ghosts|You want to live forever?!]]"

** Earth's Cradle is a possible lift from ''[[Blue Gender]]'', which had essentially the same concept with the similarly-named "Second Earth". Ditto ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'', which actually called theirs the Earth Cradle.

** Another troper mentioned the Moon Cradle supports the theory of the Earth Cradle being the SRW version. I, [[Rpgingmaster]], a veteran SRW player, can confirm that. The Earth Cradle description is nigh identical to the version given in SRW Original Generation 2 and Alpha Gaiden. The location, belt system, use as a military base\insurance policy for the survival of Mankind is identical. All it's missing is are Sophia Nate (the SRW leader of the Cradle), Egret Fehu (her treacherous XO), Sanger Zonvolt/Wodan Ymir, and the Machinery Children. And if you're going by [[OG 2]] continuity, Aguila Setme, Cuervo Sero and the Boosted Children.

* Kensuke's latest version of Evangelion armor in Chapter 40 is known simply as [[The Big O|The O.]]

** Or, more probably, [[Magnificent Bastard|Paptimus]] [[Zeta Gundam|Scirocco's]] [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/z/pmx-003.htm The O].

* Chapter 42: In Ritsuko's [[Journey to the Center of the Mind]], [[Batman|Batman!Maya]] recites the lyrics to [[Portal (series)|"Still]] [[Ear Worm|Alive".]]

* Chapter 42: As the Shinji vs. Kaworu fight continues, Shinji starts [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|waterbending.]] The NERV staff [[Lampshade Hanging|immediately start discussing which of the pilots should fit which character.]]. Also worth noting is that Shinji's first big water attack is a ''[[Naruto|Suiryuudan no Jutsu]]''.
