Line 9:
* Season 2 is on hold until the previous season's rewrite is complete.
* Omakes:
** ''The Present'', serving as a [[Prequel]] of sorts by introducing Rei's [[Pint
** ''Valentine Shenanigans'', where Kaworu learns the hard way that most bishies have an [[Unwanted Harem]].
Line 59:
** Shephard is confirmed to be an expy of [[Stargate SG 1|Jack O'Neill]].
* [[Faster Than Light Travel]]: the Waygate system. It permits ships to travel at 99.187856''c'' which sharply averts [[Casual Interstellar Travel]] as it requires ''weeks'' to get anywhere.
* [[Fire
* [[Fixed Forward Facing Weapon]]: in chapter 6, a frigate fires a spinal-mounted coilgun at Sachiel... [[Worf Barrage|to no effect]].
* [[Flawed Prototype]]: Unit-00 still has this distinction. The only reason it can keep up with the newer models is because the pilot is [[Ace Pilot|just that good]].
* [[Four Philosophy Ensemble]]: Kaworu is the Optimist, Shephard is the Realist, Yui is the Cynic. Rei is somewhere between the Cynic and the Apathetic.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams|Frickin' Particle Beams]]: upon realizing conventional bullets don't have enough kinetic force to penetrate AT-fields, the AEL quickly equips their Evangelions with handheld Tau cannons. These ones ''do'' work... but not much better.
* [[Full Frontal Assault]]: {{spoiler|the famous Rei-exiting-shower-to-find-someone scene is repeated with a twist: Kaworu is on the receiving end and Rei attacks him with a sword}}
* [[Fuuma Shuriken]]: Rei has a collapsible one.
Line 69:
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: prior to the rewrite, the first season had plenty of this.
* [[Hand Cannon]]: Rei has ''two''. [[Revolvers Are Just Better|Revolvers]], of course.
* [[Have You Seen My God?]]: the Angels directly mention that {{spoiler|they're no longer bound by God's will}}, whatever that means.
** Shephard and Yui directly invoke this trope: if there is a God, why didn't he prevent Second Impact?
* [[Hey
* [[Hoist By His Own Petard|Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: {{spoiler|Shamshel, who took a headshot from ''her own [[Eye Beam]]''}}
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: earlier battleframe models. They're confirmed to be nothing more than [[Glass Cannon|assault guns]] on legs, as armoring them enough for frontline combat would be [[Awesome but Impractical|impractically expensive and heavy, not to mention slow]].
Line 82:
* [[Kung Fu Sonic Boom]]: the result of two AT-fields colliding, powerful enough to knock down a [[Humongous Mecha]] weighing several thousand tons from ''kilometers away'':
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: frequently delievered from various sources.
** Asuka delivers a ''devastating'' [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] at Kaworu, using his [[Leeroy Jenkins]] piloting behavior as material. He promptly goes into a [[Heroic BSOD]].
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: while the [[Half Life]] universe is even more of a [[Crapsack World]] than the Evaverse, Kaworu doesn't have the same emotional baggage canon!Shinji does
* [[Magnetic Hero]]: Kaworu uses almost the entire arsenal of said trope.
Line 106:
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: in ''The present'', {{spoiler|Rei headshots a thug with over a dozen bullets}}.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: {{spoiler|Sammael}}
* [[Obligatory Swearing]]: ''averted'' in an attempt to stay realistic. Touji is the only person who [[Cluster F
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: the G-Man simply ''loves'' doing this, casually walking out from behind objects too small to hide behind or [[No I Am Behind You|even the person he's talking to]].
* [[Oh Crap]]: {{spoiler|Asuka's reaction when she realizes that Kaworu is her new landlord}}
* [[Omniscient Council of Vagueness]]: SEELE, as usual.
** The Angels, as well.
* [[Onee
* [[Organization With Unlimited Funding]]: ''averted''. The AEL had to become a PMC to avoid getting bankrupt after Kaworu racked up such an impressive collateral damage against Shamshel.
* [[
* [[Portal Network]]: there's one that links an unspecified number of systems together. It's pretty slow (less than a parsec per day) and can't operate in gravity wells (the Earth gate dodges that issue by being anchored inside the Earth-Moon [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_point#L1 L1 Lagrangian point]).
* [[President Evil]]: Keel
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: aside from the usual Asuka-Rei dynamic, several new ones were introduced.
** Kaworu is the impulsive and hotheaded Red to Rei's cool and rational Blue
** Kaworu is the [[Unskilled but Strong]] [[Idiot Hero]] to Asuka's [[Weak but Skilled]] [[Ace Pilot]]
Line 122:
** Mari is the extroverted and [[Bi the Way|sexually liberal]] Red to Hikari's rule-abiding "good girl" Blue
* [[Rollerblade Good]]: Unit-00 and the Durandals are users of this trope, [[Code Geass]]-style
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: Kaworu's philosophy in life, or so he says
* [[Secret Identity]]: Kaworu made sure no one outside the AEL except four people knows what he's doing for a living. ''Especially'' not Asuka.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: the author apparently likes to flaunt the effort laid into worldbuilding.
* {{spoiler|[[Sibling Team]]}}: Kaworu and Rei in the second season.
* [[Space Fighter]]: the SF-144 ''Nova'' sixth-generation space superiority fighter. Can't leave the atmosphere on its own but is confirmed to be carrier-based and capable of surviving atmospheric reentry. Kensuke gleefully lists off its capabilities when he sees one in the second season, [[Power At a Price|including the lack of stealth capabilities]].
* [[Swiss Army Weapon]]: the local equivalent of the canon pallet rifle, appearing in the second season. {{spoiler|It has a [[Frickin' Laser Beams|rapid-firing particle cannon]], an underslung [[BFG|dark plasma blast cannon]] and the whole thing is crowned with a [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw bayonet]].}}
* [[The Little Detecto]]: gravimetric sensors. They detect the minuscule spacetime distortions caused by the presence of mass and therefore cannot be confused by stealth. Lots of tightly-packed objects however WILL make them ineffective, hence the need for radars. AT-fields and dark energy are instantly spotted from a VERY long distance due to their spacetime warping properties.
* [[The Metric System Is Here to Stay]]: The Confederacy uses the metric system. Shephard once uses US pints out of habit but an author's note includes the equivalent in litres.
Line 147:
* [[World Half Full]]: although humanity still hasn't recovered from the massive asskicking suffered at the hands of the Combine, they got good things out of it too - the technological level has never been so high and the establishment of the Confederacy brought world peace (albeit an uneasy one)
* [[World of Badass]] - Kaworu's principle in life is striving to create this
* [[Year Inside, Hour Outside]] - the Barrier created by Second Impact is a giant dimensional anomaly that envelops most of North America, making time go at a factor of six, i.e. there's 2005 inside but 2041 outside.
* [[You Have Got to Be Kidding Me]]: uttered by Kaworu word-for-word when he realizes {{spoiler|he's going to live with Asuka}}
* [[Zerg Rush]]: {{spoiler|the military tries this against Sachiel, doesn't really work}}
