First of all, I was completely spoiled last year, so I used the 2 Tianxiahao 8G version (hey~), and forced to use the graphics card that was eliminated by the times to play the 1080 resolution (hey hey~~) The theatrical version is just done as a pseudo-EVA research party's obligation (the author died for me twice!). However, due to the lazy forum and the out-and-out nuclear submarine, I didn't understand much about the discussion after everyone watched the movie. However, in the sense of superiority that I am proud of when I bought 2DM! (Die again!) I think it is still necessary to select some articles that I think are more reasonable to analyze. Too much nonsense, then I'll say again, "It's very clear that I like Asuka more than Rei!" What Rei unleashes is motherhood, not love. What Asuka gave to Shinji is the throbbing of youth; ah, yes, let's finish "EVA: RETAKE"; Shinji-kun finally broke through the tyrannical angel with indomitable + blood + love and Tianyuan, it is too burning, SRW can Decisively included EVA in the super department (too far... ) The following is the topic 1. Name analysis 1. The "イラストリアス" with Makibo·Marie·イラストリアス as the surname should be HMS lllustrious from the British Royal Navy according to the connection between the person's name in the EVA and the warship of World War II (brilliant, also translated as " "Excellent") aircraft carrier; the first name "Makibo", read まきなみ, from the old Japanese Navy destroyer "Makibo". First of all, from her appearance, her hair is a retro double ponytail and is somewhat similar to Dong Muguang. Of course, the glasses girl attribute will definitely attract a lot of people, but generally speaking, this kind of character has a great chance to get a lunch before the finale. "Makiba" comes from the old Japanese navy destroyer, "Limbo" and "Shiba" fought in formation in history, but "Makibo" ("Makiba") did not fight in formation with them (historically, Makiba) USS destroyer was sunk by US destroyers during the 1943 Battle of Cape St. George near the Solomon Islands), which may imply that she and Rei and Asuka are in good looks, even in different formations - her surname "lllustrious" was previously said to be British The aircraft carrier Tejas during World War II. Historically, Tejas joined the British Pacific Fleet in Task Force 57 in 1945 and participated in the invasion of Japan, and was injured by kamikaze suicide aircraft during the Battle of Okinawa. 2. Shikami・Asuka・ラングレー Asuka from the old work was downgraded from an aircraft carrier to a destroyer. Formerly known as "棣ryu・Asuka・ラングレー (棣ryu・Asuka Langley)", the name was taken from the aircraft carrier "Soryu" (pronounced as "Sunryu")", the US aircraft carrier Langley 1, and Wada during the Japanese Empire. The heroine of Shinji's "Super Girl Asuka", Saki Asuka. Although Langley was also an aircraft carrier in World War II, it was only a light seaplane carrier, and it was not at the same level as a fleet-level aircraft carrier like the Radiance. ——References: 1. The eighth issue of "Secondary Element Fever" "Evangelion New Theatrical Version: Analysis and Conjecture Before the Release" Text / jedi, Uncle in the Shell p61.62. 1. Asuka's growth If you have seen the old version, you may have such an impression. Although Asuka in the later stage made a lot of appearances, since she was brought down by the bird angel, she lost contact with the core of the story. Although actively fighting in the old theatrical version, it did not have any impact on the completion plan. Many Asuka fans are quite dissatisfied with this, including some of the creative staff. Therefore, in the limited space of the new theatrical version, the three pilots, Kaoru Nagisa, Asuka, and Toji, must retire one to stay in the scene, otherwise there will be no space to carefully describe the characters. At a glance, I knew that Toji did not win the lottery. So Asuka took over the task of boarding Unit 3 and causing Shinji to change his mind. It should be noted that she is not passively assigned this task in the plot, but relies on her own strength and growth to board the No. 3 machine with her own choice. Speaking of strength and growth, this is Asuka that cannot be seen in the old version. Asuka's perk in the old theatrical version is just a flash of inspiration, while her growth in the broken version is a solid footprint. Her initial appearance is completely different from the old version. According to the supervisor, the footage of the dual-purpose card of the old version of the animation has been lost and cannot be used. This change may also change Asuka's path. At first she was clearly not gregarious and wished to fight independently. For her, No. 2 is her only residence in the world (the mother's soul is connected with No. 2, so she goes crazy and treats the doll as a daughter and doesn't recognize her, and on the day she finally gets the qualification to drive No. 2, her mother hangs herself. It's not mentioned, it's unknown.) However, by fighting together with Shinji and the others, she is definitely overcoming her own problems. It can be asserted that in "Broken", only Asuka grows into an adult; Shinji's courage is commendable, but after all, it is not beyond the scope of children, and it is aimed at Lingbo; Lingbo is also changing, cooking for others, Of course we cannot deny that these are growths, but the direction is different. In "Broken", Asuka can say that there is no sign of love at all (there is, there is, there is, you see Xiangxiang is wearing underwear making love bentos and eating Shinji vinegar in the class~~), including blessings. But what's interesting is that she has friendships with both Shinji and Lingbo, which was still unthinkable for the old version of Asuka. How could Asuka have friends in the past. Her night-time conversation with Shinji showed her interest and tolerance for others; but in the sense of confrontation with Ling Bo, she became the person who knew Ling Bo the most. In the elevator battle, the two seemed to be fighting each other with swords drawn. In fact, this was the most suitable method of communication for them. Asuka was also the first to notice Ling Bo's feelings for Shinji, and even took the initiative to ask Ying to replace him when he knew that the No. 3 test and the dinner clashed. When Lingbo was immersed in happiness, everyone thought that her happiness would be shattered according to EVA's practice, but Asuka took the cup for her. What kind of spirit is Asuka who works hard for the happiness of others. But what a grown character welcomes is the end. In front of the tableware, Asuka opened up her heart to Misato and told about her changes, which broke the hearts of the audience. But aside from this tragic ending, Asuka's growth is indeed the biggest bright spot throughout the entire "broken". Her growth did not depend on any dramatic events, but like an ordinary person. Isn't that the biggest compliment for EVA's character, like a normal person. 2. Lingbo's human touch When it comes to human touch, this time the most human-like person is Limbo, who was originally not a human being. Ling Bo is in the break, and basically established his own tone in the new theatrical version, that is, marching towards mankind and the fate of being saved by Shinji. There must be a lot of people who are still brooding about the last of Ling Bo in the old version: people decisively rejected the mature uncle for you, trying to become a dozen monsters, and Shinji, you still refused people——In the old version, Ling Bo failed to become a human being , nor can he be saved by those he loves. Of course, some people may think that it is also very happy for everyone to become water together. But there should be many people watching Lingbo drink Shinji's miso soup, go to the aquarium together, learn to cook, and even mediate the conflict between father and son. Of course, this little happiness is to be destroyed, and it is impossible to escape the power angel if you escape the No. 3 machine. When I was swallowed by the angel of power, I thought of the second generation of Lingbo, who was eroded and self-destructed by the womb apostle in the old version. However, Mr. Shinji came with a burst of spiral force. He pulled Lingbo out of the core and held it in his arms. Enjoying the treatment of the ordinary heroine, everyone was so happy, and when they came back to their senses, they fell into the gentle trap of the Anno ruffian... 3. The Beast Makibo adopts a similar runaway mode in the second machine- animalization. Although the old work has the famous BGM of The Beast, , but the proper term beastization does not specifically appear in the play. When it comes to EVA beasts, what do we think of? The Old Testament, Daniel, Chapter 7, 1. In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream in bed, and when he saw the vision in his head, he recorded the dream and explained its meaning. 2. Daniel said: I saw a vision at night, and saw the four winds of the sky rising sharply and blowing over the sea. 3. Four large beasts came up from the sea, each of different shapes: 4. The first one was like a lion, with wings of an eagle; while I was watching, the wings of the beast were plucked, and the beast stood up from the ground, using two He stood on his feet, like a man, and gained the heart. 5. There was another beast like a bear, the second beast, sitting on the side, with three ribs in its mouth. Someone who commanded the beast said: Get up and devour the flesh. 6. Then I looked, and there was another beast like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back; this beast had four heads, and was given power. 7. Afterwards, I watched in the vision of the night, and saw the fourth beast, which was terrifying, extremely strong, powerful, and had great iron teeth, which devoured and chewed up, and trampled the rest with its feet. This beast is very different from the first three beasts, with ten horns on its head. 8. I was looking at these horns, and saw that a small horn grew up in them; there was a triangle in front of the former horn, which was pulled out by the root. This horn has eyes, like the eyes of a man, and a mouth that speaks great things. 9. I looked, and saw a throne set up, and upon it sat the Ancient of Days. His clothes were white as snow, and his hair was pure wool. The throne is fire, and its wheels are fire. 10. From before him there was fire, like a river; there were thousands who served him, and thousands stood before him; he sat to execute judgment, and the books were opened. 11. Then I looked, and behold, the beast was slain because of the voice of the little horn, and he was broken and thrown into the fire to be burned. 12. The authority of the rest of the beasts is taken away, but life remains until the appointed time and time. 13. I looked in the visions of the night, and saw a man like the Son of Man, who came in the clouds of heaven, and was brought before the Ancient of Days, 14. He was given power, glory, and kingdom, to all nations, nations, All peoples served him. His power is eternal and cannot pass away; his kingdom will not perish. 15. As for me, Daniel, my spirit is troubled within me, and the visions in my head terrify me. 16. I approached a waiter and asked him the truth of all this. He told me and explained to me the explanation of the matter. 17. These four great beasts are the four kings who will arise in the world. Some might say that the beast in Revelation that represents Nero from the sea is better known. But these four beasts also have their own representatives. Gabriel introduced the meaning of the four beasts to Daniel: lion————Nebuchadnezzar II, the king of Neo-Babylon, the bear——————The Persian Empire Darius the Great, the leopard———— ——“King of Kings” Cyrus the Great Iron-toothed Ten-horned Beast——The Macedonian King Alexander the Great recalled the posture of approaching the apostles after the animalization, and then recalled the second impact, the four-body light giant that appeared in the South Pole. Perhaps the beast is synonymous with the apostle? Beastization is a transformation close to the realm of apostles? The proof is Ritsuko said that it was an act outside the human realm. Then, anyone with a little knowledge of history knows that the above four are all villains in the Bible, that is, representatives of pagans. Naturally, it is impossible to be the same as the priestly servant——the angel. If we insist on associating this villain with the apostles, all we can think of is the superstition of "falling from the sky", but to discuss further, there is really insufficient information at present. 4. The key blessing of Nebuchadnezzar is no longer Adam's embryo, but ginseng... Well, it's the Nebuchadnezzar key. It is called "the promised item, the lost number (LostNumber), the signpost that weaves the gods and souls, and the key that opens the door of human completion - the Nebuchadnezzar key." Compared with the names of the representatives of the four beasts above, We can see the doorway. If the four crosses in Antarctica are really the incarnation of these four giant beasts, is the Nebuchadnezzar key the props taken from them? As for why this item can open the door to human completion, it is unknown now. But the phrase "weaving the road signs of God and soul" makes us think about it. 5. The most core concept in the EVA of Man and God is: God noticed the Shinji of the second beast and the Shinji of the first awakening, and the pupils of both of them turned into a spiral shape. In the "Tianyuan Breakthrough" linked to the same company, the spiral force represents evolution. Could it be said that beastization and awakening are both ways to approach God? The Bible suggests that the conditions for becoming a god are very simple. You can eat the fruit of life and the fruit of wisdom at the same time. Lilith once ate the fruit of wisdom, and humans are descendants of Adam who ate the fruit of wisdom. Perhaps because of this, the angel of power swallowed Ling Bo in order to obtain the fruit of wisdom. However, he obviously failed, and the transformation was not complete. This may be because Limbo is not a complete human being. Why is Limbo not a complete human being? Anyone who has seen the old work knows it. Limbo is the clone of Yui Ikari's body and the carrier of Lilith's soul. We have no way of examining how NERV extracted Lilith's soul, but it is certain that Lilith's complete soul cannot be possessed by Lilith, otherwise it would be necessary to use Longinus. In this case, Ling Bo is indeed not a complete human being, so even if Li Angel absorbs her, he will not be able to become a god. And when Shinji forcibly pulled Lingbo's body or soul into the cabin and absorbed the force angel, it also triggered an awakening. The question is, this mixed No. 1 machine (I don’t know if there is still a soul), an apostle (S2 agency, that is, the fruit of life), No. 0 machine (I support the no-soul theory), Lilith (Lilith Soul) , Shinji (human soul). Which two factors lead to the awakening? Follow the previous remarks. At first, I was inclined to the influence of the Apostle's S2 mechanism and Shinji himself. But here comes a turning point: where did the first machine without electricity get its energy and go berserk, and this time it was not the kind of berserk that was done by the first machine itself like the old version of Angel of Force, this time it was Shinji himself. Does it mean that he already had the S2 mechanism (or the fruit of life) before he rescued Ling Bo and absorbed the power-dropping angel. As for Shinji, as a descendant of Adam, the first machine already has the conditions to exist as a god, but he has not become a god. I am afraid that there are still key conditions missing. Since the first machine has the conditions to become a god at the moment when it goes crazy, why does it really cause the awakening after collecting the five things mentioned above. Here we look a little further ahead. The same is the spiral, the beastization and the awakening seem to have the same goal. But this is in theory. In fact, we can see that the pupils of Shinji-kun have been turned into a spiral, but they have not changed color; on the other hand, Shinji-kun has completely turned red and spiraled. In the old work, there are two people with red pupils. Ling Bo Li and Xu Kaoru. What comes to mind? That's right, both of them are not humans, but the souls of apostles, one is Lilith and the other is Adam. And Shinji's pupils turning crimson at this moment mean that his soul is also an apostle at this moment. If it is because the insertion of the bolt is too deep (or the synchronization rate is too high), the soul is transformed into an apostle, why does not Mashipo. Having said so much, I just want to make a conjecture (I said it, it is a conjecture, that is, it is purely YY, any resemblance is purely coincidental): Shinji himself is an apostle. 6. RETAKE (there are serious spoilers for RETAKE in the second paragraph, don't read it if you don't like it) The statement that Shinji himself is an apostle is not unfounded. In the fanbook "EVA: RETAKE", which shocked the EVA world back then, in the world view setting, Shinji is the apostle. And not an ordinary apostle, but the first apostle of the new world. In RETAKE, facing the world after the third shock that was triggered by herself and facing the hate (actually, the subconscious likes it) Asuka still chooses to escape, so she uses her own power to create another world, the timeline of that world It started in the ward after Shinji defeated the Night Angel (the Twelfth Apostle in TV version). And he himself continued to survive in this world while retaining the memory of what he had experienced, and he felt guilty for triggering the third shock, so he worked hard in this world to change this result with his own power. The reason for this idea is likely to be her cowardice and inaction when Asuka fought 9 mass-produced EVAs alone in the old theatrical version. In RETAKE, Shinji and Asuka, who created that world, really established a relationship, even to the point of marriage. As a result, according to the EVA tradition, the short-lived happiness must be a cup. On the wedding day, the apostles attacked. When facing the womb angel, Asuka activated the second machine self-destruction program in order to save Shinji. Survived, but no memory, only know to call Shinji to the doll). The agreement with Lingbo before the explosion (to protect Shinji) also prompted Lingbo to slowly transform from a machine that only obeys orders to a real person in the end. This is also the position where Shinji was stunned by his father's high-voltage LCL. Looking back, of course, there are more stories that are different from the original but connected in the same vein, but after seeing the above plot, do you feel that you already have a feeling of deja vu? Although it can't be said to be completely consistent, it further confirms that this new theatrical version of Anno did refer to RETAKE for creation. Whether it's Shinji's courage, Lingbo's change, and Asuka's growth all illustrate this. Another proof that Shinji may not be an ordinary person is that when he was awakened, Makiba sighed: "It really is because the smell is different." If it is based on the smell of LCL when they first met, it should not be different. . Therefore, Shinji itself contains a lot of secrets. ——References: 1.

Of course, everyone can watch the new theatrical version as a Hollywood blockbuster, but isn't it better than visual enjoyment to discover the thoughts that the film brings to you. And this is precisely the part of EVA that people talk about. Thank you for reading this long article, I hope you can also feel the fun of EVA.
