"Neon Genesis Evangelion" was called "Evangelion" when it was introduced to the mainland, and was also referred to as "EVA" (hereinafter referred to as "EVA"). It was a landmark animation premiered on TV Tokyo in 1995. Later ACG works had a great influence, with Anno Hideaki serving as the director and main screenwriter, and a series of theatrical versions were subsequently launched. On March 8, 2021, "New Evangelion Theatrical Edition: End" was released in Japan and caused a lot of excitement. Great response, the work refreshed the box office and ratings of the series in Japan. On this occasion, I would like to tell you about the names and nouns of the characters appearing in "EVA". In fact, there is a lot of hidden information. Due to the inconsistency of some characters, things, plots and characters in the TV version and the theatrical version, bloggers will put it together and add a small amount of comparative analysis.
When it comes to names, the classic stalk in "EVA" will definitely be mentioned: Shinji when a boy is born, Rei when a girl is born. The corresponding ones are Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami. It is said to be hidden information. In fact, the origin of the name in the character setting is basically introduced by the main creative team, and the most important part is the yearning for the sea. Many people's names actually have a deep relationship with the sea.
Most of the character names, including the two heroines, actually have prototype ships, because part of the name is a ship, and it is basically taken from the fleets of various countries in the naval battle of World War II. The history of naval warfare is quite interesting. (It may also be because the "ship name" is easy to support, and the dog's head is manual.) Fortunately, the bloggers of "Azur Lane" launched at Station B did not play for nothing, and the skills are used here, so let's talk about them one by one.
Ayanami Rei (Ayanami Rei, Ayanami Rei):
Ayanami's Ayanami (あやなみ) is read as Ayanami, and the target is the No. 11 ship of the old Japanese Imperial Navy Fukiyuki-class special-type destroyer. According to the improvement, it is divided into 3 types. Among them, the Ayanami destroyer is the No. 1 ship of the Fukiyuki II class. The sister ships also include Isomi, Ura and Shiki. Isano and Ura are the last two ships of the Fukiyuki I class. You must know that the Fukiyuki-class was a world-renowned destroyer at that time, and the Ayanami was awarded by the Japanese army for its outstanding military exploits. The title of "Ghost".
If you want to know the history of ships, naval battles, weapons and equipment, formation information, ship parameters, etc., you can go to various encyclopedias to search, and other characters will not be explained in the follow-up. Due to its strong combat power, in the Japanese server of the ship girl mobile game "Azur Lane", Ayanami appears as the role of the three families of the ship girl (the US-Laffey destroyer, the British-Javelin destroyer, and the Japanese-Ayanami destroyer) . The reason why it did not appear as the Yusanjia (replaced with the De-Z23 destroyer) in the national service is because the destroyer Ayanami participated in a series of operations such as the Shanghai landing, Wusong landing, and Hangzhou Bay landing in 1941. Participating in blockade missions on the coast of South China, it is an excellent but unfriendly imperialist warship.
So in the eyes of Ikari Shinji, Ayanami Rei and the first aircraft are really a mother ship?
Asuka (惣ryu / Shikinami Asuka Langley, Sōryū Asuka Rangurē / Shikinami Asuka Langley):
Asuka's full name in the TV version is Soryu · Asuka Langley, and the English name is written Asuka Langley Soryu, which involves two ships. The pronunciation of Soryu can be Soryu or Canglong, which corresponds to the old Japanese Imperial Navy The aircraft carrier Soryu, and the Langley corresponds to the USS Langley.
In the theatrical version, Asuka's name was changed to Asuka Langley, so Asuka's third ship appeared. The pronunciation of Shikinami is Shikinnami. Ayanami's sister ship, the destroyer Shikiba. The earliest name Shikami was the refit of a ship captured from the Russian Navy during the Russo-Japanese War, and the prototype in the play is the No. 12 ship of the Fubuki class, or the No. 2 ship of the Ayanami type. It seems that Asuka is driving the No. 2 machine. .
Asuka's characters are set to 1/4 Japanese blood, 3/4 German blood, and Zeppelin's mother, Kyoko Zeppelin, is from the aircraft carrier Count Zeppelin of Nazi Germany, with a full-load displacement of 31,367 tons. The only aircraft carrier in Germany that has ever been launched, and it is also a very important part of the "Z Plan". In 1945, the German army did not prevent the ship from falling into the hands of the pressing Soviet Union, and took the initiative to scuttle the ship, so the fate of the Count Zeppelin and the fate of Asuka's mother are also mutual.
In addition, あすか (asuka) can also be translated as flying bird, which is everyone's favorite eight-headed body and face length of only 18cm programmer desktop explosion - Saito Asuka (さいとうあすか|, Saitou Asuka), but in the 26th episode of the TV version The three Chinese characters "Asuka" have already appeared. Kana, as the Japanese syllabary, is a phonetic script, and it will definitely bring great troubles after leaving the Chinese characters.
Finally, the classic line "あんたバカ?" ends the Asuka paragraph, pronounced antabaka? Don't ask me what I mean.
Makinami Mari Illustrious (Makinami Mari Illustrious):
It is said that the setting of Makibo is a vigorous girl who pleases fans, and she is not in the No. 3 position in the development of the whole plot. The reason why Makibo is introduced here is to cooperate with the name change of Asuka in the theatrical version, and Ayanami was born. , Shikami, Makiba, don't you think this nami is a completely intentional arrangement, so the prototype of Makiba is the same as Makinami's Ayanami-class destroyer No. 7 ship "Makibo", which is from Wikipedia Makibo word Article, another view comes from the Yugumo-class destroyer No. 5 "Mizunami" of the old Imperial Japanese Navy. The author tends to believe the latter after verifying the sequence of the old Imperial Japanese Navy ships.
(Mashibo added in the theatrical version)
Makibo's person is set to British nationality, is a bilingual eldest lady who can speak English and Japanese, graduated from an aristocratic school, but the name did not use the more British Mary, but adopted Mari, which originated from director Anno Hideaki's wife Yasuno Yuko Yoko created the character Mariko in the manga, Mariko is a thoroughly Japanese name, generally translated as Mariko, Mariko, Mariko. In the 14 episodes of the comic version, she appeared under the name "Mashibo truth", so Mary's translation is not appropriate, so the translation name in Wikipedia is Zhenshibo · truth · Eras Dorias, I have to say that from Zhenshibo The grass snake gray line in the characters reveals that the Anglo-Japanese alliance had a great influence on the later generations of Japan.
Since the British characters are mentioned, I would like to talk about the illustrious, which is the British aircraft carrier of the same name "The Glory". The Glory is the first ship of the Glory-class aircraft carrier, and the other three are Victory. The No. 1, the Dreadful and the Indomitable, with the support of the 4.38-inch thick armored flight deck, the defense and survivability have soared and have been tested by actual combat. They became famous in the night attack on the port of Taranto, Italy. You can refer to this story. Churchill's "Memoirs of World War II", which contains more detailed historical descriptions.
Katsuragi Misato (Katsuragi Misato):
The blogger personally likes Miri Katsuragi set by Yujie, but the aircraft carrier Katsuragi is not so famous, obviously not as good as Akagi and Amagi (Amagi is named both a battle cruiser and an aircraft carrier, which will be mentioned below. The name Kasturagi comes from Yamato Katsuragi, Nara Prefecture, Japan. Kasturagi is the sister ship of Yunlong and Amagi. It was completed in 1944, which is the third ship of the Yunlong-class aircraft carrier. It is also a Japanese ship. The last aircraft carrier of the Imperial Navy to be launched during World War II.
After the Battle of Midway, as an improved version of the Flying Dragon class, the Japanese military hopes to build 15 Yunlong-class aircraft carriers to reverse the decline of the sea battlefield, but the war is also a demonstration of the country's industrial strength, and only 3 ships can be launched in the end. The No. 1 was transformed into a transport ship for receiving Japanese expatriates, fully in line with the caring character in "EVA".
In the TV version, Katsuragi Miri's Junjie was promoted from captain to major. You can appreciate how much you like the military rank of "major" in the Japanese animation industry. Maybe you can use David Bowie's "Space Oddity" for the background music when you understand the majors. ", after all, everyone likes majors. And the high vibration particle knife PK-01 used by the first machine is Bowie knife, but this Bowie is a colonel.
In view of the space, the first article will be mentioned here first. I hope all fans of "EVA", ACG fans and military fans will like it. The next article will introduce other characters that include ships in their names. Welcome everyone to connect with one click.
In addition, everyone is welcome to pay attention to the blogger's WX public account "Xiu Da nonsense", and continue to share some or not.
