Shinji and Warhammer40K/Shout-Out: Difference between revisions

=== Multiple references ===

 

* 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.

* "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."]]}}

* And combining the above two, we have this from Chapter 42: "And again with the lightning. Who the hell does he think he is? Palpatine?!"

 

* Ritsuko takes refuge in a book she owns with "Don't Panic" printed in large friendly letters on the cover.

* One of Shinji's simpler AT-field tricks creates a "Somebody Else's Problem" field to avoid attention.

* "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!"]]

* Chapter 24:

** "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]]."
