Woman (OFF):“Currently filling the plug interior. Complete submersion after two-zero.”
Ritsuko:“It's alright. Once your lungs are filled with LCL, you'll be supplied with oxygen directly.”
Man (OFF):“LCL concentration normal. Pressure at standard value.”
Keisuke-kun: I always wondered… When you're done piloting and get out of the plug, don't you have to vomit up all that LCL from your lungs? Maybe it's just one of those things they leave out (like Shinji sitting on the john).
Reichu: Probably, yeah, they just figured that was something nobody wanted to see. Speaking of the whole “vomiting upLCL” bit, I remember reading somewhere that in real life, no one would be able to endure taking in and subsequently expelling a fluid from their lungs with the frequency that the Eva pilots do, as it would cause permanent pulmonary damage. [Any idea where this idea comes from?]
The Eva Monkey: A liquid breathing system, as per The Abyss, has potential, though it has never been perfected to the levelwhere it can be used on an adult human subject. It is, however, used in some instances involving premature births. You can read more info here .
