Guf (NTE)
Door of Guf Portals | |
In Evangelion 2.0 and 3.0, the Door of Guf (ガフの扉, Gafu no Tobira) appears in the form of a black void surrounded by multicolored rings.
The events at the end of Evangelion 2.0 resulted in Near Third Impact, wherein Shinji's attempt to save Rei from the 10th Angel caused Eva-01 to open the Door of Guf. The Door formed from Eva-01's halo and was surrounded by slowly rotating red and white rings. The portal was dissipated when Eva-01 was struck with the Spear of Cassius, but it is unknown if the Door was fully closed after this event.
In Evangelion 3.0, an awakened Eva-13 opens the Door of Guf during Fourth Impact. This Door is larger than the previous version and surrounded by multicoloured rotating rings. It is closed after Kaworu impales Eva-13 with two Spears of Longinus, both pilots are removed, and the unit finally disabled.
The GUFO
During Fourth Impact, an object is visible on the other side of the portal. It appears to be spherical, with large cross-like beams protruding out in the six cardinal directions. What this "Guf Unidenified Flying Object" could be is currently completely unknown. It has been speculated that this object represents the Chamber of Guf.[Source needed]
