In Episode 16, when Unit 1 gets absorbed by Leiliel (pic related), Ritsuko and the bridge crew do a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo and end up recreating the same experiment that dumped Yui Ikari inside Unit 1 in the first place, in order to get Shinji out.
Since they knew how to do this and succeeded, why didn't Gendo go ahead and use this method to get his wife back already?
Oh, and other Lorefag-esqe questions are welcome here I guess.
What if shinji never left leiliell and the whole show afterwards is taking place in shinji's head. I'd like to see an AU of everyone else's lives if this happened uwu.
I’m not sure, maybe it’s because all Evas need a soul in its core to function, and if there’s more than one soul one of them can come out? Maybe Yui has been inside 01 so long that she can’t leave? Who the fuck knows. It’s not like Eva lore is even consistent
>>>/evageeks/
I think it's because Yui didn't want to come out.
Why do the other nations make EVAs if the angels only go to Japan anyway
>and succeeded
But they didn't desu, Shinji's mom got him out
why didn't my spank mags arrive on nudity magazine day?
>why didn't Gendo go ahead and use this method to get his wife back already
she's dead, her soul inhabits the eva like a ghost
That's not episode 16. It's episode 20. And the plan was originally written to salvage Yui, which failed. Go to episode 20, about 11:50 or so.
America: Japan is making cool ass robots? Well fuck them, we'll make our own and it'll have cool stretchy arms!
huh? i thought their plan was to drop a bunch of N₂ mines in it
>end up recreating the same experiment that dumped Yui Ikari inside Unit 1 in the first place
That’s not what happened. The Eva went berserk and broke out on its own. Nothing done outside of the Angel had any effect.
Why did Shinji come out of a sphere if angel's body is a dirak sea when the sphere is just reflection
Who even knows or gives a shit? Things happened. You cannot defy destiny.
Evas are cutting edge military tech. The first thing that happens after the angels are gone in EoE is one party tries to steal Evas from another. Any nation would need to be competitive against them to defend themselves.
OP here. Thanks you for all of your answers. Guess I'll ask one of the old age ones since I'm still a little unclear on it;
In EoE, why does Shinji reject Instrumentality? I mean, I know its the whole "Creating bonds is worth the pain and fear of other people", but on my recent rewatch of the movie on Netflix I didn't quite understand it as clearly as his reasons in the show.
I mean, I get that Instrumentality started from when he gets rejected at his lowest (of the low) point; so what gets him to change his mind?
Because being one with everyone sucks. You have no individual identity. You need pain to help validate your experiences. He felt empty and wanted to at least feel something.
>The first thing that happens after the angels are gone in EoE is one party tries to steal Evas from another.
This is because SEELE knows that Gendo is planning to betray them and end the world though.
It only works if the recipient is willing, this is explained in episode 20. Yui has no intention of leaving her new immortal demigod body.
next time you watch eva try reading the subtitles too
She didn't want to come out. That's the point. She wanted to be a sick robot floating in space forever as a monument to human science.
nerv is an international organization and eva manufacture was distributed to bases in all the major member nations, upon completion they would've been shipped to tokyo 3 just like 02
Because geopolitics aside the other nations wouldn't sit still and wait for the apocalypse to come to them
It turns out that the whole thing was orchestrated and continuously sabotaged by a bunch of supervillains with plot powers (they always get away with it), hell nobody ever figured out why the angels only attacked Japan even though it's pretty damn obvious
