Soluzar: Pointless comment, but… I do love this shot! No matter how many times they recycled it.
Reichu: It's pretty much a visual icon by this point, isn't it? ^_^
Hexon.Arq: To whom is he still trying to appear ominous?
Reichu: The audience, of course! Or, you could say Gendo is the kind of guy who doesn't even need to try.
BTW, I would normally translate the word ningen as "humanity" (as a matter of principle), but, if Gendo spoke English, he just seems like the sort of guy who would say "mankind" instead. Don't you think?
