Rebuild 1.0 is, for the most part, a retelling of the first six episodes of the original series. However, many important points have been changed, as well as some minor changes as well.

This page had content at one point, but it was wiped out as the "first step" in a reorganization that has yet to happen. See History for possible material to re-appropriate.

Plot

• The appearance and identification of the Angel Lilith at the end of the first movie and just before the commencement of Operation Yashima (Corresponding to Episode 06 of the TV series), unlike the veil of secrecy kept in the original series where Lilith was never seen until Episode 15 and wrongly identified as Adam until Episode 24.
  • More notably, Gendo and Fuyutsuki speak about a "contract with Lilith", which did not exist in the old series. Lilith's existence may not be a mystery, but its role is hinted to take a different turn from its original series counterpart.

• Shinji does not see the Eva's actual, biological face at the end of the Sachiel battle. It is likely that Shinji does not comprehend the Eva's biological nature completely.

Angel

• Sachiel is virtually unchanged from its previous incarnation, and Shamshel, apart from small changes in detail, is basically the same.

• Ramiel benefits from a variety of transformations and "attack modes". The Angel's particle beam appears to be significantly more powerful than the one in the original series, being capable of destroying heavily fortified batteries or tearing down a mountainside in a momentary burst.

Character

• Misato's elevation in rank to Lieutenant Colonel comes along with vastly improved knowledge about Nerv's operations and secrets. Misato, who first saw Lilith in Episode 15 (And who had no clue about the Angel's existence before that point) is the one who shows Lilith to Shinji and explains the possibility of Third Impact and Nerv's intentions to avert it.

• Shinji seems willing to pilot Eva-01 for the sake of the injured Rei alone. In the original series, he gained added confidence from the fact that Eva-01 moved to protect him from falling ceiling lights (Which do not fall in Rebuild).
