The cross (十字架, juujika) is one of the more abused religious references present in Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Some of the forms it takes, often in lieu with the crucifixion motif:
- Cross-shaped explosions (Sachiel, Zeruel, Eva-01, Eva-02)
- Dr. Katsuragi's / Misato's pendant (Greek cross)
- This object is effectively "crucified" at the end of the show
- Lilith's red cross (upon which Lilith was crucified)
- An actual crucifix on top of a church is seen when preparing for the last attempt to destroy the Angel Leliel, which might sacrifice Shinji in the process
- An actual crucifix is on top of the church next to the graveyard where Kyoko Langley Soryu is being buried in Episode 22.
- Eva-03 is carried on a cross-shaped red scaffolding
- Architecture/composition forms a cross behind Kaji where he is shot
- Architecture/composition forms a cross above the door Misato is heading for when she gets shot
- Shadow making it appear Gendo is carrying a cross when he speaks about evolving humanity to godhood.
- Cross-shaped depression where Eva-01 was "born" (where Lilith is also "crucified")
- "Double cross" configuration of Eva graveyard
- Cross-shaped configuration of Eva-01's four wings
- Eva-01 is "crucified" by the Eva Series
- Tree of Life is effectively cross-shaped
- Eva Series crucify themselves
- The souls of disembodied humans are "launched" into the air by green crosses of light
- Eva-01 departs for outer space holding herself in the "crucifix" position
Notes
- A "crucifix" refers to a cross symbol that has a figure of Jesus' crucified body on it. The basic shape that appears without a figure should properly speaking just be referred to as a "cross", not a "crucifix".
