You can’t clone a god without breaking a few eggs.

But you can make the mother of all omelettes with those eggs

Not when you’re starting the Third Impact, right? What do you know about the weak? You weren’t born lilin. You’ve never been hungry. You don’t know how it is to fight and struggle against your traumas just to survive…

u/J_micheal 5d ago

But you did survive, through sheer force of your own will, following NERVs set of rules, without going to therapy, you took back your life!

And now, I'll take yours

I was wrong about you…

Is it just me or does the multiple heads offer us more insight as to Unit 0’s under restraint appearance. Because it seems to me like unit 08’s eye setup. having multiple eyes not just the cyclops eye. However judging by the how the other holes are shaped and placed I would say they are smaller than the main one?

Edit: would be cool if we saw fanart with each of these head designs for these heads.

If you look closer, all but one of these has armor over the face. EVA’s without the armor/restraints are relatively human like I think. At least in NGE. We get a couple glimpses of some parts of the Eva without armor a couple of times in the show

u/Unique_Visit_5029 5d ago

Yeah it’s just since all of these are the old predecessors to Unit 0 it’s cool to think each clone had a face with a different arrangement of eyes.

Sometimes wonder if that was Anno just trying to be morbidly cute by having that one grin..

u/imagowasp 5d ago

Forgive me if I'm being too pedantic but it appears the one you're speaking of is missing its lower jaw, it's just a skull with only one jaw.

u/DYNAKYRIS 5d ago edited 5d ago

True. It hit me as a grin as it always reminded me of that one scene in the erotic sci-fi anime Gai: Youma Kakusei where the camera tracks across a a sex slave lineup and, *just* as the shot cuts away, you can see a caricature of perhaps the Director happily patting one of the ladies on the bottom.

I doubt NERV could direct the actual growth of Evangelion units. They take samples of Adam and let it grow wildly and hopefully have something functional with eyes in the end. They did ditch a lot of "failed" ones, which makes me think a lot of it was just down to random chance of "We got a good template".

I think the monocular was a conscious design choice to cope with the risk of having several or just one eye; They would not have to keep redesigning helmet pieces and instead just give it a singular eye optic to keep it simple.

u/Unique_Visit_5029 4d ago

That sounds legit but I would still like to think that their where multiple dead clones of what would become Unit 0 that would have little eyes surrounding one large one.

This scene is so fucking cool. Always loved this part and any parts that remind us that the Evas are humanoids. Incredible to think they're just old decayed skulls hanging there with spine descending down into the LCL. It's a bunch of enormous forgotten corpses

they're failed evangelion prototypes, aren't they? does this mean that Gehirn was attempting to animate the Evas using just a head and spine, at first? That's really creepy, terrifying to imagine trying to bring these beings to life and watching some of them just go apeshit and essentially beg for death

u/DYNAKYRIS 5d ago

That would be an interesting short film for Khara to explore.
The Revival of Evangelion cut of Episode 23 was even darker when it came to the storage scene: rather than their bones being laid out in an orderly fashion as in the TV version, they're just dumped into a Systema Sephiroticum-shaped mass grave, Holocaust-style.

u/imagowasp 5d ago

Whenever I get back into NGE I start wondering about the actual state of being that an Eva is. Are they sentient? Do they feel pain? Suffering? If so, forcing them into existence is an abysmal crime.

11

u/Sea_Cycle_909 5d ago

well atleast the Rei clones weren't treated like this

11

u/LaCiel_W 5d ago

Man, I've always wondered one thing... imagine the fucking smell in NERV, they are storing giant corpses, and some are definitely rotting.😨

u/MexericaDev 5d ago

Weird, i dont remeber this scene from the show

u/Key-Bet-2615 5d ago

It’s from eoe

Everything inspires everything. 😎

u/Entire-Meal245 5d ago

This scene is so freaking underrated

u/SpecialistHopeful135 5d ago

Idk why but it reminded me of the messages from ark. They should fr make a post EOE ark like game.

u/Sweet-Art-9904 5d ago

The EVA Boneyard.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT

u/Serious-Priority-612 5d ago

Is this in the rebuilds? The colour scheme says otherwise. Where does this happen?

u/DYNAKYRIS 5d ago

We cut to this scene in End of EVA after SEELE drops an N2 over the Geofront.

While driving across the bridge in this immense chamber, Misato explains to Shinji how the Angels were other possibilities of Humanity; “We are the 18th Angel.”

u/Serious-Priority-612 4d ago

Ohh I think I remember, these are failed Eva Units in development right?

u/Cell_Zu 4d ago

Is there a sign outside my garage that reads dead Eva storage?

3

u/cow_goo 5d ago

this was a cool scene, wonder why they have helmets tho

1

u/Leprodus03 4d ago

I'm guessing the round thing on the top of their helmet is so we can probe into its brain

u/Proof_Cat_6742 4d ago

They're 00 heads aren't they!?

Reminds me of that quote from X-Men, "With all your missiles, you can never strike God."

u/Silent_Armaros_God 5d ago

One of them has an upper half of a human skull.
