>>4260051>i think unit 03 was intended to give SEELE a way to remove Gendo from the loop in regards to their plans with Eva-01.Real interesting, I had never thought of that, so basically SEELE was presumably going to use unit 03 for the crucifixion ritual we see in EoE in place of unit 01? I wonder how that would work given one of the big plot points about unit 01 and why it's special is because it's not made from Adam and rather from Lilith.
Dont quote me on this but iirc it's implied or explicitly stated somewhere that the reason why we see Lilith with no legs in terminal dogma is because they cut her in half and molded the other half into what would become unit 01. And I think in the movie the SEELE members state that the reason they can alternate to using unit 01 for the ritual is because it's made from Lilith, and that given the MPEs and presumably every other unit is made from Adam that it would suffice for the third impact.
