>>4267081>Also ya Eva body horror sounds so cool and freaky I'd love to see it. We got a taste of it in the Rebuilds since we got to see what Asuka became after prolonged exposure to it in unit 03, and it's probably something they could further elaborate on if they ever do a Eva 2.5 to cover the time between 2.0 & 3.0.imho the original series and manga gave the best glimpses into this, Baridiel's takeover of Toji is harrowing despite what little we see, Armisael was grotesque in the way it mutilated the Eva and spread throughout Rei, ect. Seeing more of that would be neat.
>Oooh I hadnt even thought of that. hell what if it had infected unit 00 or unit 02 fully and now Shinji had to face the consequences of not only possibly maiming/killing Toji but also Rei or Asuka. I think the inverse of this would also be very neat. Asuka might talk a big talk, but actually having to go against Shinji might be a little much for her to handle. Likewise, I cant imagine Rei would deal with the conflict of carrying out her orders vs potentially killing the only person who hasnt treated her like a tool.
>Or similarly had it infected unit 01 alone and the other units were left dealing with the now zombified Eva and we get some sorta Godzilla situation of mixed arms between conventional UN weapons & Eva shenanigans.Oooh man, i can already see this being intense from the point of view of Misato panicking about what's happening to Shinji. Or even Gendo, since his previous strategy of just activating the dummy plug and ripping the Eva to shreds wouldn't work with Yui.
[spoiler:lit]also lmaoing @ how most of this thread has just been our convo but with misatos attached. best girl truly spurs discussion [/spoiler:lit]
