dzzthink: This is a pretty disturbing scene and pretty close to something from a Cronenberg horror movie. I'm going to throw up.


UrsusArctos: If Armisael had succeeded in resurrecting that entire lot, Nerv would have a real problem on their hands...


Dr. Nick: I have mixed feelings about the Angel resurrection theory. Sure, Armisael is the Angel of the womb and the pregnancy imagery is unmissable, but on the other hand, there isn't that much evidence that Armisael has somehow absorbed all of the previous Angel souls within itself. We see inside the soul space within its core while it’s communicating with Rei, and there's nobody else there.

Furthermore, if Armisael had such a resurrection ability, why would it need to assimilate an Eva unit to bring its siblings back to life? Angels can by all accounts generate matter from nothing (Sandalphon being the best example), so I doubt it would need Adam-derived biomass from elsewhere. Does it need to hijack Unit-00's core for the resurrection to happen? But so far, the rule has been one core, one resident soul, and the tower features all of the Angels.

For all we know, the Angel tower could be a simple side effect of the assimilation (the purpose of which is unclear as well). Perhaps it's just Armisael's memories of its brethren made flesh, or perhaps it's some kind of defiant signal aimed at humans. Who knows, insert your own theory here. And finally, the pregnancy imagery could simply be symbolic lead-up to Rei III being born; after all, the Angel tower is like a grotesque back hump tumor, whereas it's Eva-00's core that forms the pregnant belly so to speak.
