'''Evangelion:3.0+1.0 FAQ'''


**Where are they?**
This is a compilation of frequently asked questions about the film Evangelion:3.0+1.0.


In Paris.


**Who is there?**
==General Questions==


Wille. Eva Unit 08-ICC piloted by Mari and 6 heavily shielded battleships are escorting a sciencentific team in a DSVR ("Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle", the kind of submarine used to reach very deep parts of the ocean). The AAA Wunder is directing the operation from a safe location up above in the sky and Sumire Nagara, the dark skin crew member introduced in 3.0, is responsible for directing the flying movements of the 6 ships and Mari.
====Why is the movie called 3.0+1.0 and not 4.0?====


**What are they doing in Paris?**
There is no definitive answer to the question yet, fans speculated it could be a stylistic choice, a case of tetraphobia (fear of the number 4) or it could have a deeper meaning. Or all three option altogether.


They are there to retrieve spare parts for their two Evangelion from an old branch of Euro NERV. After the events of 3.0 they are infact without any functional Unit, as Unit 08's arms got corroded at the end of 3.0 to eject Shinji from Evangelion 13, and Unit 02 self destruct at the end of 3.0 to save the Wunder from the Mark.09.
====Why is the movie also referred as "Shin Eva"?====


It is likely they flew to Paris immediately after the event of 3.0.
The movie, like all previous entries of the Evangelion series, has two different titles. "Shin Eva" is the abbreviation of "Shin Evangelion Gekijōban", the Japanese title.


**How do they manage to retrieve the spares?**
====What is the ( :|| ) at the end of the Japanese title?====


The scientific team suffesfully activates a Angel-sealing Hex Pillar. The Angel-sealing Hex Pillar is equipped with an Anti-L System. The operation was already initiated by unnamed "precessors" that completed it up to Stage 4, leaving it in stand by with only Stage 5 to clear for Wille.
In music ( :|| ) is the repit sign. It means "go back to the beginning and play again, then continue". It is left to interpretation however if the ( : ) are part of the musical sign or if it's a colon. If it is indeed a colon, the music symbol ( || ) simply means "end".


**How can the Angel-sealing Hex Pillar restore Paris?**
====When is the movie premiering?====


Currently unknown. It is also unknown if it's a temporary effect or a permament effect.
The movie is expected to release in 2020 in Japan.


**What even is this Angel-sealing Hex Pillar?**
=="EVANGELION:3.0+1.0 AVANT 1 (from beginning to 10:40) Version 0706" Questions==


From 2.0 onwards in almost every scene involving NERV or Wille's facilities there are some QR code-like symbols called Angel-Sealing Hex Glyphs. The [Wiki](https://wiki.evageeks.org/Angel-Sealing_Hex_Glyphs) is a good place to look for more informations. The notes links to very good threads on EvaGeeks that are worth of a look too.
====Where are Shinji, Asuka and Rei?====
What is new information from this footage is that the Pillar is similar in nature to the Evas, so it's possibly not human made or at least not derived from human technology.


**Why is the scientific team wearing plugsuits and helmets, why they have limited time?**
According to Mari, they are yet to be found.


Paris is described as "Category 6 core-converted surface", and the Oxygen levels are at "-3". It is implied that the L-Barrier is the cause. In simple terms, the air is toxic and the ground is corroding, so plugsuits are acting as hazard suits. This also explains why they have to be dropped from the sky: the legs of the DSRV are already being corroded after a few minutes exposed near surface level.
====How much time passed since the events of Evangelion:3.0 You Can (Not) Redo?====


**Wait, what is this L-Barrier?**
Considering the state of Unit-08 and the absence of Shinji, Asuka, Rei it is likely not much time passed. It is possible the movie could take place only a few hours after the events of Evangelion:3.0.


At the end of Evangelion:3.0, in the very last scene, Asuka says that the "density of the L-Barrier is too strong" for Lilins (humans) to come and pick them. 3.0+1.0 confirms that the L-Barrier is fatal to humans.
====What is Wille doing in Paris?====


SPECULATION: the L stands for Lilin (Lilin-Barrier).
Will is attempting to recover spare parts for Unit-08 and Unit-02 from Euro-NERV facilities.


**But Asuka, Shinji and Rei are fine at the end of 3.0...**
====Why is Unit-08 fitted with guns as arms? How can it fly?====


It was already hinted in various occasions in previous movies, but it is extremely likely that Eva pilots aren't mere humans: at the end of 2.0 Shinji is capable of ripping the controls of his entry plug with bare hands; Mari grows fangs when he activates Beast Mode; in 3.0 Asuka has superhuman strenght; none of them aged past the age they had when first become Eva pilots (Curse of Eva).
The new configuration of Unit-08, named "ICC" (Improvised Combat Configuration), was implemented after the events at the end of Evangelion:3.0. Its arms were corroded beyond repair by contact with Awakened Eva-13 while extracting the Entry Plug containing Shinji.
The synch with Evangelion Units have permantely altered the pilots' body.
 
The ability to levitate, called "cable flight", is provided by a device mounted on Unit-08's waist powered by the AAA Wunder. Mari is not in control of her Eva's aerial movements, as it is controlled by [https://wiki.evageeks.org/Minor_Characters_(Rebuild)#Sumire_Nagara Sumire Nagara].
 
====Why are Ritsuko, Maya and the others wearing plug suits and helmets?====
 
Paris is described as "category 6 core-converted surface", and "oxygen density reads at -3". Ritsuko also notes that "the L-Barrier density is quite high". It is implied in numerous scenes of previous Evangelion movies that core material is a strong corrosive substance.
The plugsuits and helmets temporary protect the members of Wille from the effects of the corrosion.
 
The small DSRV (Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle) is presumably used as a shield from the hostile environment during the descent to Euro-NERV's 1st Sealing Pillar.
 
====What is a Sealing Pillar?====
 
Evangelion:2.0 quietly introduced [https://wiki.evageeks.org/Angel-Sealing_Hex_Glyphs Angel-Sealing Hex Glyphs], a technology capable of containing or/and repelling, at least partially, the Angels. In the same movie Angel-Sealing Hex Pillars were introduced.
 
The Sealing Pillar is capable of activating the Anti-L system, a system capable of nullifying the effects of the L-Barrier. The Pillar is also confirmed to be similar in nature to the Evangelion Units and difficult to control using human language. It is not known yet if the effect of the Anti-L system are permament or not.
 
If the Pillar in Paris is different from the Pillars seen before is currently unknown too.
 
====What is the L-Barrier?====
 
In the last scene on Evangelion:3.0 Asuka says: {{quote|The L Barrier density is too high here, so they won't be able to come for us.<br> We'll go someplace where the Lilin can pick us up.<br>}}
While currently not definitely confirmed, it is implied that the L-Barrier is generating the corroding material and the unbreathable air in the proximities of Tokyo-3 and Paris.
 
SPECULATION: the L stands for Lilin.
 
====How can Shinji, Asuka and Rei walk and breath without issues in the L-Barrier at the end of 3.0?====
 
In various scenes of Evangelion:2.0 and Evangelion:3.0 the pilots display physical features superior to the norm: Shinji is capable of ripping apart Unit-01's control panel using bare hands; Asuka is capable of breaking a thick glass with a punch; Asuka, Mari and Shinji are subject to physical changes when reaching high synch rates with their Eva Units; Asuka and Mari do not age (Curse of Eva).
More than once Ritsuko also mentions that the pilots may be subjected to contamination or they may lose their humanity. It appears that pilots are somewhat more than simple humans and have no repercussions from being in the L-Barrier.


While possibly unreleted, it is also worth nothing that the term LILIN+ was used in the preview at the end of 2.0.
While possibly unreleted, it is also worth nothing that the term LILIN+ was used in the preview at the end of 2.0.


SPECULATION: Eva pilots are partly Evangelion/Adams in nature.
====How is the Pillar activated?====
 
The Wille crew succesfully hacks the Pillar to activate the Anti-L system. The operation was already initiated and completed up to stage 4 out of 5 by unnamed "precessors", possibly Euro-NERV members.


FURTHER SPECULATION: Asuka may be partly Angel because of her eye.
====What are the new Eva Units?====


**What is going on with all the new Eva Units?**
There are three new enemy Evangelion types in the movie, all featuring Lilith's mask and the new NERV logo from Evangelion:3.0.


There are three new enemy Evangelion types in the movie, all sporting what in the Rebuild continuity is Lilith's mask and the new NERV logo.
* '''Eva 44A''' [read as "4 two A"]. It is composed of two different Eva Units fused together. It can fly and it is equipped with a Lance of Longinus. They do not display great strenght as their AT-Field is destroyed by Unit-08's cannons and they don't show any long distance attack.


Eva 44A [read as "4 two A"]. As the name imply, they are actually two different Eva fused together. It can fly and it is equipped with a Lance of Longinus. Their AT-Field seems pretty weak as it is destroyed by Mari's 635mm cannons and they don't seems to be able to attack from distance. Interestly, Ritsuko states that they formed a community and that they are now a new species.
Interestly, Ritsuko states that they formed a colony of their own and that they are now a new creature.


The next two types work together.
The next two Eva types work in tandem.


Eva 44B [read as "4 two B"]. Again, they are two different Eva units used to power a battery/capacitor. They don't have any weapon on their own and they lack any defense mechanism. Being fused to the battery from their upper torso they have the ability to march.
* '''Eva 44B''' [read as "4 two B"]. It is composed of two different Eva Units fused together. They don't display any ability of attacking or defending on their own. They support Eva 4444C with the energy required to fire its positron cannon.


Eva 4444C [read as "4 four C"]. Called "the Boss" by Midori, it consists of four Eva torsos holding a positronic cannon fused on a drill system used to attack and to walk. It is powered by the Eva 44B.
* '''Eva 4444C''' [read as "4 four C"], nicknamed "the Boss" by Midori. It is composed of four Eva Units holding and aiming a positron cannon. A series of long and flexible drills give him a medium-range attack and defense mechanism. The power to operate its positron cannon is supplied bu the Eva 44B.


The military use of 44B and 4444C is said to be prohibited by the Vatican Treaty, an international treaty introduced in 2.0 to limit the number of Eva Units a single nation can operate.

**Who is coordinating the enemy Eva?**
====Who is coordinating the enemy Eva?====
 
Fuyutsuki. It is presumably not a full scale attack as Ritsuko says that he's "testing them".
 
**What does Mari mean at the end with "preparing Unit-08 for overlapping"?**


Uknown.
Fuyutsuki. It is presumably not a full scale attack as Ritsuko says that he's merely testing them.


In the Ultraman mythology the term "Ultra Overlapping" is used to indicate the fusion of the 6 Ultra Brothers, so it is possible that the world has been choses as an homage and that Unit 08 will be fused with another Eva later in the movie.
====What does Mari mean at the end with "preparing Unit-08 for overlapping"?====


**Where are Shinji, Asuka and Rei?**
Currently unknown.


According to Mari Shinji has yet to be found, so it's extremely likely they still are near the ruins of Tokyo 3.
In the Ultraman mythology, a Japanese TV-series source of inspiration for Evangelion, the term "Ultra Overlapping" is used to indicate a fusion of the 6 Ultra Brothers. It is possible the word has been choses as an homage and Unit-08 will fuse with another Eva Unit later in the movie.

This is a compilation of frequently asked questions about the film Evangelion:3.0+1.0.


General Questions

Why is the movie called 3.0+1.0 and not 4.0?

What is the ( :|| ) at the end of the Japanese title?

In music ( :|| ) is the repit sign. It means "go back to the beginning and play again, then continue". It is left to interpretation however if the ( : ) are part of the musical sign or if it's a colon. If it is indeed a colon, the music symbol ( || ) simply means "end".

"EVANGELION:3.0+1.0 AVANT 1 (from beginning to 10:40) Version 0706" Questions

Where are Shinji, Asuka and Rei?

According to Mari, they are yet to be found.

How much time passed since the events of Evangelion:3.0 You Can (Not) Redo?

Considering the state of Unit-08 and the absence of Shinji, Asuka, Rei it is likely not much time passed. It is possible the movie could take place only a few hours after the events of Evangelion:3.0.

What is Wille doing in Paris?

Will is attempting to recover spare parts for Unit-08 and Unit-02 from Euro-NERV facilities.

Why is Unit-08 fitted with guns as arms? How can it fly?

The new configuration of Unit-08, named "ICC" (Improvised Combat Configuration), was implemented after the events at the end of Evangelion:3.0. Its arms were corroded beyond repair by contact with Awakened Eva-13 while extracting the Entry Plug containing Shinji.

The ability to levitate, called "cable flight", is provided by a device mounted on Unit-08's waist powered by the AAA Wunder. Mari is not in control of her Eva's aerial movements, as it is controlled by Sumire Nagara.

Why are Ritsuko, Maya and the others wearing plug suits and helmets?

Paris is described as "category 6 core-converted surface", and "oxygen density reads at -3". Ritsuko also notes that "the L-Barrier density is quite high". It is implied in numerous scenes of previous Evangelion movies that core material is a strong corrosive substance. The plugsuits and helmets temporary protect the members of Wille from the effects of the corrosion.

The small DSRV (Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle) is presumably used as a shield from the hostile environment during the descent to Euro-NERV's 1st Sealing Pillar.

What is a Sealing Pillar?

Evangelion:2.0 quietly introduced Angel-Sealing Hex Glyphs, a technology capable of containing or/and repelling, at least partially, the Angels. In the same movie Angel-Sealing Hex Pillars were introduced.

The Sealing Pillar is capable of activating the Anti-L system, a system capable of nullifying the effects of the L-Barrier. The Pillar is also confirmed to be similar in nature to the Evangelion Units and difficult to control using human language. It is not known yet if the effect of the Anti-L system are permament or not.

If the Pillar in Paris is different from the Pillars seen before is currently unknown too.

What is the L-Barrier?

In the last scene on Evangelion:3.0 Asuka says:

“ The L Barrier density is too high here, so they won't be able to come for us.
We'll go someplace where the Lilin can pick us up.
 „

While currently not definitely confirmed, it is implied that the L-Barrier is generating the corroding material and the unbreathable air in the proximities of Tokyo-3 and Paris.

SPECULATION: the L stands for Lilin.

How can Shinji, Asuka and Rei walk and breath without issues in the L-Barrier at the end of 3.0?

In various scenes of Evangelion:2.0 and Evangelion:3.0 the pilots display physical features superior to the norm: Shinji is capable of ripping apart Unit-01's control panel using bare hands; Asuka is capable of breaking a thick glass with a punch; Asuka, Mari and Shinji are subject to physical changes when reaching high synch rates with their Eva Units; Asuka and Mari do not age (Curse of Eva). More than once Ritsuko also mentions that the pilots may be subjected to contamination or they may lose their humanity. It appears that pilots are somewhat more than simple humans and have no repercussions from being in the L-Barrier.

While possibly unreleted, it is also worth nothing that the term LILIN+ was used in the preview at the end of 2.0.

How is the Pillar activated?

The Wille crew succesfully hacks the Pillar to activate the Anti-L system. The operation was already initiated and completed up to stage 4 out of 5 by unnamed "precessors", possibly Euro-NERV members.

What are the new Eva Units?

There are three new enemy Evangelion types in the movie, all featuring Lilith's mask and the new NERV logo from Evangelion:3.0.

  • Eva 44A [read as "4 two A"]. It is composed of two different Eva Units fused together. It can fly and it is equipped with a Lance of Longinus. They do not display great strenght as their AT-Field is destroyed by Unit-08's cannons and they don't show any long distance attack.

Interestly, Ritsuko states that they formed a colony of their own and that they are now a new creature.

The next two Eva types work in tandem.

  • Eva 44B [read as "4 two B"]. It is composed of two different Eva Units fused together. They don't display any ability of attacking or defending on their own. They support Eva 4444C with the energy required to fire its positron cannon.
  • Eva 4444C [read as "4 four C"], nicknamed "the Boss" by Midori. It is composed of four Eva Units holding and aiming a positron cannon. A series of long and flexible drills give him a medium-range attack and defense mechanism. The power to operate its positron cannon is supplied bu the Eva 44B.

The military use of 44B and 4444C is said to be prohibited by the Vatican Treaty, an international treaty introduced in 2.0 to limit the number of Eva Units a single nation can operate.

Who is coordinating the enemy Eva?

Fuyutsuki. It is presumably not a full scale attack as Ritsuko says that he's merely testing them.

What does Mari mean at the end with "preparing Unit-08 for overlapping"?

Currently unknown.

In the Ultraman mythology, a Japanese TV-series source of inspiration for Evangelion, the term "Ultra Overlapping" is used to indicate a fusion of the 6 Ultra Brothers. It is possible the word has been choses as an homage and Unit-08 will fuse with another Eva Unit later in the movie.
