The angel strikes the core with its arm, sparks scatter and there are thuds!

It does so another time with its left hand!
UrsusArctos: As a tie in with Cut 062, the bone stump sticking out of Eva-01's left arm is a probable reference to Anno's father losing his left leg and having a stump of bone sticking out of it, and Anno's own statement about how he "can't love anything perfect" as a result. This changed in Rebuild 2.0, where Eva-01 loses its left arm but it appeared like a clean cut, which was a little odd. Of course, what happens to the lost arm in both is quite different too...
