** In ''Rebuild 2.0'', as the Dummy Plug controlled Eva 01 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3lAoTFpgnE&feature=related mutilates and disembowels] the Angel possessed Eva 03, {{spoiler|piloted by Asuka in this version,}} a delightfully cheery [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-i-1EzKYAI song] starts playing. It made this scene even more of a [[Tear Jerker]]. |

** Another example is Shinji's first fight: The Angel beats his Eva to a scary music, but that's to be expected. But then Eva starts to fight back! Time for a happy winning music (like in Digimon when a new mode is activated)...except what we get is "The Beast", which is ten times more terrifying than the music before. The meaning of the scene also changes from a regular "good wins" to "[[Oh Crap]], what is happening?", making the dissonance hard to notice. |
