In short, people mistake the excitement of the situation with that of the declaration.Īsuka: And how do you think it's relevant to our situation? The theory according to which a love declaration is more likely to be accepted if done on a suspended bridge?! Mana: Have you heard of the 'suspended bridge effect'?Īsuka: You mean. And Ritsuko is not fond of remembering that Naoko has the same obsession with Gendo as her.Īsuka: Great! We're stuck in that room, and Shinji and Rei are going to reach the target! We got to catch up with them!

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Gendo.When Shinji asks him how he could do so, he answers: ' Don't underestimate your father'. Justified because the adults (Yui and Misato) can't fit in them, and even for the four teens, it's hard to move in the vents. Air-Vent Passageway: Shinji, Rei, Asuka and Mana have to escape this way in the Jet Alone chapter.Affectionate Parody: The amount of Mythology Gag moments that don't get a Deadpan Snarker response are probably in the single digits.In the original series, that was the contrary.

Adaptational Villainy: Naoko Akagi is a Manipulative Bitch towards Gendo.

Adaptational Curves: As mentioned above, Asuka and Rei switched their canon breast sizes, making Asuka the more-endowed one of the pair.

Asuka is jealous of her mother's breast.

She is still larger than most real-life adult Japanese women. It's a reversal of the original series and especially of the manga, as Asuka used to be the less endowed one. Rei and, to a lesser extent, Asuka can beat up perverts with scary casualness.
