>>4267461>Yeah I could see Gendo like running to SEELE begging them not to N2 bombard unit 01 because Yui's soul is trapped in it and them twisting his arm about it to their delight.Misato's reaction would be juicy too. She's entirely focused on Shinji while everyone around her has already written him off and is ready to kill unit-01. cant imagine she'd have much fun there.
>Getting an Asuka breakdown where she admits to loving or at least caring about Shinji as she's dodging an infected Unit 01 sounds coolImagine Rei getting paralyzed with fear and not wanting to harm the only person who treated her like a human, all while unit-01 thrashes unit-00 and/or tries to pry open the armor to its plug.
>In the first or second draft storyboard for Eva 3.0 this was actually going to be something they did with Misato & Kaji. Misato was going to get infected by some prototype virus of the failures of infinity and she would attempt to seduce Kaji to spread it to him to his dismay at the thought of having to harm the woman he loves the most. You can see a remnant of this in the after credits preview for 3.0 where there's a quick shot of Kaji pointing a USP with a laser and having an expression of distress.didn't know about this at all and man, thats way more interesting than him just kind of walking off like we saw in 3.0. I think youre right about the rough drafts, way more interesting than what we got. Ive heard it thrown around that the reason a lot of that got cut is that the production drama surrounding the initial planning of 3.0 caused Anno to scrap everything he had, in which case its a shame. Really cant say im happy with what we got over the glimpses of what was planned at the time 2.0 ended.
>So true lol[spoiler:lit]when this thread starts coming to a close hopefully they'll be a way to contact you and some of the other anons here to follow up on the ideas and stuff posted.[/spoiler:lit]
