However, anything stronger than the Evangelion and Shinji’s own durability will be enough to break through it. Field, which is an orange field that protects Shinji from attacks. The Evangelion can also produce something called an A.T. Usually, it takes a good while, but at high sync ratios, they regenerate really damn fast. However, if a pilot’s sync ratio is abnormally high, they will sustain the exact same injuries as the Evangelion, as seen during the events of End of Evangelion.īoomstick: Evangelions have exceptional regeneration, being able to grow entire limbs back even after they’ve been severed or completely destroyed. At normal sync ratios, the pilots don’t actually suffer the injuries that the Evangelion suffers. At the same time, however, they will also feel more of the pain sustained by the Evangelion the higher it goes. This becomes a double-edged blade, as the higher their synchronization ratio is with the Evangelion, the faster and stronger they become, as well as how easily they can move around. Evangelion pilots have to be in sync with the mech itself, in order to even move it. Wiz: The Evangelion is a fighting machine, and directly connects to its pilot with the use of A2 Neural Clips on their head. I mean, just look at it! It looks so cool! But that merely adds to the sheer badassery of it. It’s way bigger than your usual gigantic anime robot. (Cues: NERV - Neon Genesis Evangelion OST)īoomstick: The Evangelion Unit is a beast! While its size usually varies, the average is usually around 250 feet tall, and clocking in at 60,000 tons. And yet, time and time again, Shinji will always return to pilot the Evangelion. Admittedly, he did try to run away a few times, but honestly both times were pretty justified. Anyways, Shinji remains the loyal pilot of Unit-01. Shinji would go on to pilot Evangelion Unit-01 alongside the likes of Rei Ayanami, pilot of Evangelion Unit-00, and Asuka Langley Sohryu, pilot of Evangelion Unit-02-īoomstick: Love interest! Love interest! Love interest! Wiz: However, after seeing the extensive injuries of the other female pilot, Rei, Shinji offered to be the pilot for Evangelion Unit-01, and remained so throughout the rest of the series. I mean, I wouldn’t jump into a big weapon of mass destruction if my father told me to… wait, no, I definitely would. There, he found out that he would be the one piloting Evangelion Unit-01 against the Angel.īoomstick: He reacted, well, let’s be real, like any kid would. Anyways, after the Third Angel started attacking Tokyo-3, Shinji was brought into NERV headquarters by Misato Katsuragi, who’d pretty much become his guardian. Wiz: Well, they aren’t technically robots, but organic clones of the First Angel, Adam, that have been heavily enhanced by technology. But the organization that Shinji’s father had been the commander of for some time now, NERV, had been preparing for this day for years.īoomstick: Like any good secret government organization, in order to combat the threat of aliens nuking the world, they built massive robots in order to fight them! The Evangelion Units! As predicted in the Dead Sea Scrolls, soon, alien beings designated as Angels would arrive on Earth and attempt to end all humanity on it. Wiz: Ehhh… Anyways, Shinji was sent back to Tokyo-3 for a very important reason. Wiz, please tell me there’s some non-depressing stuff somewhere in this? Maybe he realized that sending him away and only seeing him at his mom’s grave wasn’t the right thing to do.” … No.
“Oh, maybe Gendo decided to get over himself and wanted his son back. Eventually, after Shinji had turned 14, he was finally called back to Tokyo-3 by his own father.īoomstick: Now, I know what you’re thinking.
Admittedly, not much is known about his time with him. Wiz: Shinji lived for 11 long years with his tutor. Wiz: And it’s our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win… a DEATH BATTLE! Wiz: Shinji Ikari, the Third Child from Neon Genesis Evangelion.īoomstick: And Tetsuo Shima, the psychic-powered teenager from Akira! He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick! However, as much as I hate to admit it, there are those of us who are steered down the wrong path.īoomstick: And these two boys are basically what would happen if those scientists said: “Fuck it! Give this shit to teenagers!” Like, no shit all of the cataclysmic stuff happened in these series! A profession - that I myself - take great part in.
