Evangelion themes
Evangelions- giant soldiers made from DNA of Adam.
Adam- first angel (transfused into Gendo’s hand)
Eve- Adam’s first wife (hangs on cross under NERV HQ)
Cain- son of Adam, kills brother Abel. Referred to as Wandering Jew (immortal, possibly for sins) and is Leader of Seele a.k.a. Keel Lorenz
Seele- secret organisation behind NERV who want to control Third Impact
Third and Second Impact- both are designed as end of the world only scientists knew about 2nd impact and tried to reduce the damage it would cause = Antarctica melts and half of world is submerged. Third is when all souls combine into one and is set off by Rei merging with Eve. She says ‘I am home’ to signify she was born from Adam.
Rei- robot (?) made from Yui Ikari who doesn’t remember her past. Rei is bound to Gendo because he saved her life but she leaves him for her son Shinji when Gendo because evil. Rei is only soul who can carry another soul and is also somewhat Angel.
Angel- messenger from God who comes to merge with Eve. Like humans with 99.98% same, cannot co-exist with only one race dominating.
NERV- named after reaction (nervous system = brain) who controls Eva’s. Fig leaf from Adam and Eve covers their shame or perhaps their connection to them.
Chamber of Guf- place of unborn souls. Dummy plug system (place of empty Rei’s) is anti-Chamber of Guf.
Gendo Ikari- Shinji’s dad who wants to be a god instead of at one with god. Entire story is re-creation =path to be one with god.
Right arms and seven eyes- everything associated with god. Not relevant but interesting to note that it fits in with story.
Humans- 18th Angel and if merged with Eve, Third Impact.
Eva Unit 1- other units are not as significant. 1 is Shinji’s mother’s soul which is why it protects him. It breaks free and realises who it is and so on. Combines with Uber Rei and is equalled as one soul saved from destruction (Noah and his Ark = destruction of world with few people saved).
Other Angels 5th to 13th- all copies and controlled by Kaworu’s soul.
Ending- Rei collapses and 1 is saved. Shinji sees his life and decides who he is and whether he wants people to exist or just him. He chooses people and starts with Eve / Auska who is mix between Rei (mother), Auska (girlfriend or sister) and Misato (guardian or woman). Also Shinji is with Auska to prove that God and Eva existed. They also cancel each other out.
