* [[Alliteration]] - "Dark figures with dark designs deigned to discuss their dire directives despite the distance."
* [[Adults Are Useless]]:
Line 55 ⟶ 54:
*** {{spoiler|Shinji}} is the most physically normal of the pilots, being the only one {{spoiler|1=not infused with Angel DNA}}. That being said, he also subverts the trope in that {{spoiler|his abilities often go [[Up to Eleven|far beyond]] the territory of blatantly-admitted ''superhumans''}}.
*** Admiral "Miracle" Yang Wen-li and Sergeant Angelo De Leon certainly qualify.
*** Wilfred Jaeger manages to ''take out a cyber-Tyrannosaurus'' {{spoiler|''by letting it ''eat'' him so he can ''kill it'' where there is less armor
** [[Badass Preacher]] - A facet of {{spoiler|Makoto}}'s personality that occasionally shows up.
** [[Colonel Badass]] - Misato eventually gets a well-deserved promotion, and even acts as commander of NERV for a time.
Line 373 ⟶ 372:
** [[Captain Obvious|Obviously]], many ''40K'' and ''[[Dawn of War]]'' references, as well as [[Gaunt's Ghosts]] (going by the name: Haggard's Haunters), [[Ciaphas Cain]], and ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]''.
** The following works get at least one reference (and some get several): ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'', ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'', ''[[Girl Genius]]'', the [[Gundam]] franchise, ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'', ''[[South Park]]'', ''[[GaoGaiGar]]'', ''[[The Incredible Hulk]]'', ''[[Firefly]]'' / ''[[Serenity]]'', ''[[Tremors]]'', ''[[The Six Million Dollar Man]]'', ''[[The Simpsons]]'', ''[[Fallout]]'', ''[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]'', ''[[Starship Troopers]]'', ''[[Castlevania]]'', ''[[Death Note]]'', ''[[Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri]]'', ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', ''[[Star Control]]'', ''[[Looney Tunes]]'', ''[[Harry Potter]]'', the ''[[Doom]]'' comic book, ''[[Trigun]]'', ''[[Discworld]]'', ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'', the ''[[Evil Dead]]'' franchise, ''[[Let's Play|The Saga of Boatmurdered]]'', [[H.P.

** Even other [https://web.archive.org/web/20100607060050/http://www.darkscribes.org/site/story.php?story=390 Eva] [[Thousand Shinji|fan]] [[Neon Exodus Evangelion|fics]] get referenced, although not always kindly (see [[Take That]]).
** Not even music escapes.

Line 429 ⟶ 428:
* [[The Unwanted Harem]] - Aside from [[Neon Genesis Evangelion/Characters|the usual suspects]], Misato claims in part 3 of "Cry for Me, Tokyo-3" that "Shinji could just walk up to to nearly any woman, say 'I want to have sex with you'...and they would." Herself included.
** Considering that the Farseer, who is an aspect of Shinji's unconscious, really seems to want Shinji to have a harem, it's hard to say whether they're really that unwanted.
*** Word of God is that this is a reference to [
** The Russian precognitive, whenever asked about Shinji, always replies "I want to bear his children". [[Creepy Child|Considering the fact she's under ten,]] [[Squick|it's more than a little unsettling.]]
** Also, unwanted in the case of Shinji, specifically. {{spoiler|Rei and Maya}}, for their part, have made it perfectly clear just how 'unwanted' the arrangement is for them, {{spoiler|with Rei going so far as to intend to calmly ''[[You Can't Fight Fate|force it upon him]]''}}.
Line 468 ⟶ 467:
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility]] - In the prologue, after a carefully-crafted plan to get the attention of his crush fails spectacularly, Shinji gives in to his hatred and despair. Soon afterward, the girl who scorned him meets a [[Rape as Drama|terrible fate]], and Shinji is haunted with guilt for either causing the incident or not doing enough to prevent it, vowing never to let anyone suffer like that again.
* [[Worthy Opponent]] - Even the Angels begin to fear/respect Shinji, and during the Israfel battle, one of the Angel's "halves" ''backs down'' for a moment as Shinji deals with a hostage standoff. By Chapter 33, Shinji has evolved into a thing of horror for their race.
* [[
** Alternatively, the scene could be implying Rei as the yandere to Asuka's blatant tsundere, as past chapter six, Rei {{spoiler|will do anything Shinji wants; ''absolutely '''anything''''', without a moment's hesitation}}.
{{quote|''{{spoiler|She felt indeed, happy. Whatever you say, pilot Ikari. It is as I will be. For you have said to believe, and I do. Together shall we stand; until time itself ends. My name is Ayanami Rei. [[My Master, Right or Wrong|I shall love that which you love, and shun that which you shun]]. Until time itself ends}}.''}}
** The only reason Rei isn't insanely creepy as a [[
* [[Yaoi Fangirl]] - Maya
* [[You Have Failed Me...]] - Averted. Gendo, as the semi-malevolent amoral dictator of NERV, uses the threat of firing people to keep them in line. With events taking a different turn, the best he can do is severely reprimand them and dock pay since [[Take a Third Option|the list of other careers a NERV employee can have has significally increased]], as well as the UN taking a more active role in overseeing the agency. Played straight with SEELE, which will make bloody examples out of people who they see as inadequate, and {{spoiler|Gendo's execution of Rei II after she stops blindly following his orders}}.
