At last a generation arose who's EVA videos are not about depression! Congratulations

Congratulations.

[@xzaratulx]

After 20 years I finally got close to have an idea about the anime 😅

[@FinFunnel68]

You mean after 20 years including all the other re-hashed videos on youtube explaining Evangelion?

[@GustavoSilva-tg4cr]

TRUE every thing makes sense now, i thought god in the universe of evangelion had abandoned both humanity and the angels but this is actually reasonable

[@iiimano]

00:27 There is no disadvantage; neither Adam nor Lilith-based Evas had S2 Engines, as all of them needed to be powered by electricity. Eventually, Seele learned how to properly replicate the S2 Engines, and Gendo made Unit 1 consume Zeruel's S2, so both Adam and Lilith-based Evas CAN have an S2 Engine. There are no other Lilith-based Evas because Seele intended to use none other than Lilith herself as their wishgranter, making Lilith's clones would only increase the risk of other people hijacking the Third Impact, which was exactly what Gendo tried to do. I suspect that Unit 1 only exists because of Yui.

[@nanoplasm]

This is a video written by AI. And the proofreader/editor obviously don't understand the series so it's full of weird gaps in narration.

[@kintsuki99]

More like they didn't know what they were doing when making 01. Pretty sure 02 is also from Lilith though, 00 is the first from Adam and that is the reason it doesn't accept Rei at first (she is a clone made with lilith so not compatible).

[@t65bx25]

@@kintsuki99 Nah 02 is Adam, we know this for 4 reasons: 1- Gendo and Fuyutsuki singled out 01 as not just the most important one for their 3I, but the only option. That's not just bc of Yui. 2- In EoE it has dark skin, just as 00 is shown to. Sachiel, Zeruel, Israfel, all the humanoid Angels have dark skin. Lilith and 01 are both pale. 3- 00 and 02 are of a very similar build and armor config, 01 is completely different though. 00 is just weird because Rei II is trying to synch with Rei I, which isn't exactly a mother-child protectiveness dynamic.

No rush, if your gonna use KZbin you got a lot of ground to cover

[@teagan5494]

I realize now that Evangelion is the bad ending not just for humanity, but for Angels as well, they never became the species they could have…

[@Forsakenruler]

The angles that sentient but they are still and I’m pretty sure they just returned to there moon and was sealed or flung to another planet far away

[@Chazreal]

Neon Genesis Evangelion delves into multiple aspects of the fear of the unknown. From scientific aspirational failure, to religious myopicy, and economic social depravity, all leads to the motivation for such depraved means to preservation of our species let alone societal proclivities. Here's hoping we're not going that way as a species, but then. . .

[@omarawilson2853]

Thank you for this video. Gonna watch your Unit 02 next. Many KZbinrs often don’t dive into things like this cuz I think just talking about the depression somehow gets more engagement

[@954dsm25psi]

Just rewatched this and it's more amazing than I remembered

[@nanoplasm]

I think this video was written by AI, and not proof read by someone who actually understands the series. because the narration is missing key transitional words. The right words are there, but they are not put in the correct order to tell the plot correctly.

[@deyhatejujo]

Well they use AI for the thumbnails so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is just a mostly AI platform

[@Loli4lyf]

[@kakigori_baby]

You know, the first time watched the original series with my partner in 2013 I had so many that he didn’t know the answer to or partial answers like:what was the first impact exactly? Or what are angels? Ten years later here I am like “oh!” “That makes sense” “that answers a lot”

[@rapier1128]

I swear if an angel touches adam it starts instrumentality

[@emanuelferreira6875]

Finaly a good breakdown of the story

[@nanoplasm]

It's not a good break down. It's written by AI so the narration is full of gaps when telling the plot. 😅

[@kintsuki99]

Not really... A lot of what was said is expeculation and not supported by the anime + spin off - reboots narative. The reboots have a lot of retcons so they can't be taken as part of the original.

[@chicken0w044]

The script sounds so much like AI lmaoooo

[@emperorkalan]

Do we know for certain that an Eva must have the soul of the pilot's mother? Sure, that's true for Unit 1 and partially for Unit 2 and maybe Unit 0, but what about others? Every student in Homeroom 2-A is a potential pilot. Are they all motherless? Does Nerv or Seele or the Marduk Institute have their mothers' souls stored in a bank somewhere? Or does the pilot provide the soul that allows the Eva to operate, but those first three have something extra?

[@andreakitty8483]

Remember in the woods when shinji runs away? Kensuke says he doesn't have a mother either. Its implied that Toji also doesn't have family because we never see his parents looking after his sister. It could be any family member really, they just need the soul to want to protect the pilot.

[@emperorkalan]

@@andreakitty8483 Still, if an Eva has to have the soul of someone close to the pilot, does Nerv keep these souls in some kind of containment system until there's an Eva ready to put one in? About Toji, it was never implied that he lost a family member shortly before he was chosen as the 4th Child.

[@andreakitty8483]

Its also worth noting that it might not be required to have a soul in the eva at all

[@emperorkalan]

@@andreakitty8483 Right. For example, the dummy plugs are based on the "extra" (soulless) Rei clones. But the video made a comment about Eva requiring the soul of the pilot's mother, and I was wondering "Is that a bit of obscure lore I somehow missed, or was that just fan speculation being stated as if it were actually established somewhere?"

[@kuroshm]

Where does this image of Adam come from 1:40 ? I’ve never seen it before

[@kintsuki99]

Episode talking about first Impact. It is not even sure if that is truly Adfam though, that is the Angel that "fused": with Lilith causing the 1st impact, Adam is (supposedly) what remained of it after the event. Though Evangelion is a timeloop type story so what caused the 1st impact is not clear.

[@sans.4314]

The first manga panel showed was from "The Shinji Ikari Raising Project" a spin off of Evangelion

[@bestblerd5042]

Imho the fact that people dont understand this show decades later is a failure. While iconic, they really shouldve added an episode explaining these scenes. Maybe a flashback scene or a quick ova thats a flashback or... something. Im all for high scifi and but theres a difference betweenn making content that you have to think about and making content that doesnt make sense.

[@user-mh9qz4qi1f]

nice video

Keep it up

[@wadewilson9023]

I love all of these evangelion videos

[@MonographicSingleheadedM-sp2wk]

Isnt that white crucified angel Adam as its said in the anime when they first reveal that scene ? 🤔

[@Lorre982]

Nope it was reveald after lots of episode, the gigant under NeoTokio3 is Eva.

I still don't understand the particulars of what happened in this show, especially with the rebirth/redo episodes retcons.

[@HelmuthGerka]

There is no retcons/redos it all happened. In release order.

[@kuroshm]

Not retcons, it’s an infinite timeline that repeats until shinji stops being a failure

[@zacrichards5031]

Use actual words to express shit. Your emojis are super subjective to your own thought process which no one else shares. Raised eyebrow is not worth a thousand words, and unless you can actually talk please find the nearest four seater and have it drive over you until it absorbs your soul

Hearing the painful pronunciation of Seele is just awful...

[@geraldhuff7413]

[@mandolen3317]

Before i watch the video... I always thought Eva unit01 was Lilith based because we have potentially to evolve unlinke vessels of Adam

[@kenneth27205]

selee or zilla?

[@Lorre982]

I studied german seele (soul), the S sound like a soft Z, EE like long Echo, L like Lima, E like Echo,

[@GodsMistake1985]

Hearing americans trying to pronounce foreign words always makes me cringe. For those who don't know Nerv, Seele and Gehirn are german words. They mean nerve, soul and brain. And you pronounced non of them even close to correctly. Ididn't even know what you were talking about at first.

[@mattstanford8581]

It's unreal how luciferian this anime is

[@roxasparks]

I fail to see how.

[@chasedwards9626]

SAY-LAY bro what is Zee-lah…

[@zacrichards5031]

I'm not sure if he's being deliberately obtuse with his verdict, but I think he should have looked a little deeper into how each pilot is conditioned to only rely on their Eva unit and Gendo. Otherwise maybe just not done a poorly narrated a video on a complex anime when his talking basically only covers the premise in the wiki with barely any context

[@lilchinesekidchen]

As an EVA fan, i’ve come to accept that this series is not about the lore and is terrible at world building, it’s all about the sad boi vibes. like the AT field as a concept is thematically important, but i had to look up what it mean and i gotta say, they didn’t spend a lot of time thinking about the name of it.

[@ChengHooSew]

The story is about a man who would do anything to be with his wife again. And he would sacrifice anything for his wish to come true. This is because before he meets her, he had nothing and thus she was his everything. And with her gone, he lost everything and he would give anything to have her back. Simple.

[@reson8]

This is why you should never externalise your sense of worth/self-esteem. Pedastalising people is very destructive to your sense of worth. Moral of the story: mgtow :)

[@thechodeofhammurabi]

Lilith was the first person to defy the will of God and angels. That's why Eva unit 1 was made from her. Adam was the first and followed divine law while every woman God made broke it first chance they got.

[@CdrChaos]

Why is it so hard to find videos about Evangelion that don’t feature a narrator who has likely never heard these words said out loud and therefore doesn’t know how to pronounce them?

[@spiceboi]

It’s AI. Far worse than you imagined.

[@CdrChaos]

@@spiceboi That would explain why so many of them can’t even pronounce the name of the series.

@@Infantry2011 That’s like saying instead of complaining about a poorly cooked steak, I should open my own restaurant instead.

[@adawolf9483]

Totally wrong, EVA00 and EVA02 were made based on Lilith and EVA01 was made based on Adam, this is why other EVAs have different eye configurations while EVA01 has two eyes. Notice also EVA01 didn't obtain the S2 engine from Zeruel, it has always had one, it moved by itself many times during the series while unplugged, without a pilot and with the batteries depleted, actually in the original series Zeruel tried to destroy EVA01's S2 engine just before it went berserk. Next time just attach to the facts, no need to create controversial content out of personal fantasies and misinterpretensions.

[@wegoberserk]

You must be baiting or something, because no human would write something this long just to be wrong. Eva Unit 01 IS created from Lilith, not Adam.

[@shincaion]

EVA01 S2 engine wasn't complete, that's why it had difficulty to act on it's own, only activating on almost death situations. And u get the bases of EVA construction wrong.

[@deen7085]

Please go back to episode 24. After Kaworu explains it properly, he says that he can control it because he was born from Adam, and he and Eva Unit 2 land on the Geofront. Can you argue?

Jesus, collective consciousness is not a regression. You maintain individuality while sharing thoughts and feelings with others. This state of consciousness makes lying and violence obsolete.

[@sussudioharvey9458]

Since it is a theory only we will never know unless it happens. Most likely outcome will be that of a hive mind instead. How does one retain individuality if Constantly sharing the thoughts and feelings of Millions of others that could Never be Shut Off.

[@strangenames6056]

I dont think so we saw a sample of what whould happen when shinji melts into the lcl and he completely loses his feeling of self. Hence when instrumentality happens we can assume that all souls would blend together becoming a new thing all together. There's no reason to assume that anyone's individual "self" would remain as one's self is ego and when all are one there's no need for ego

[@kuroshm]

Exactly what a Chinese bugman would say

[@Timmeh_The_tyrant]

What a dumb dumb story once you hear the whole thing.

[@Racistobama]

I don't know where any of this theoretical information would even come from, but the more I learn about the Evangelion story the more absurd it sounds. Literally nothing about it makes any sense. I can only conclude that Anno was doing every drug he get his hands on. The fact that the movie remakes are even more ridiculous than the series shows how much it depended on everything *but* the story.
