	259	The two energies interfere with each other and then slip by each other. The balls and ray of energy draw a spiral on the screen. SE <<Zugogogoooo>>	Trajan: Of course, things never work like they expect them too. Mr. Tines: The one bit of the rework that Rebuild managed to not do as well as the original. Kendrix: This is the only part of the original battle scene that I missed in Rebuild: Ramiel's counterstrike. The thing about Ramiel is, he may appear mechanical in appearance and behaviour, but he is, in fact, not so different from a human. My best guess is that he's probably a 'cool, composed' individual acting according to a plan, ironically not much unlike Rei. Now, Rebuild's blood chilling screams and spikes are very effective at showing that he's alive, the retailation shot diverting Shinji's attack shows that he's not only alive, but hightly intelligent, as it implies that our dear Laser-y friend could tell that his AT-Field wouldn't be enough to withstand that beam, and that he could fire his weapon with sufficient precision to properly divert the positron beam. Also, the spirals were COOL. Well, the screaming is probably more obvious, and required our favourite Octahedron to be hit. Still. I miss the intertwining beams... Additional Commentary   ath: I remember that this scene actually surprised me when I was watching NGE for the first time and expecting one of those cliché Beam-o-War fights. They're actually consistent about the positrons being influenced by the gravitational and magnetic fields (including those generated by themselves), as they said a few minutes ago! Unfortunately we can't say the same for a lot of other technobabble in the show... thewayneiac: I know what you mean. Sort of the same surprise I felt when a first watched Captain Tylor and they actually showed the gravity from a nearby sun interfearing with the weapons' trajectory. Azathoth: On rewatch I can't help but think of the final battle in TTGL here.
