Radioactive Waste

This is the home of things we'd rather forget. Not the same as Common Misconceptions, which are long standing and widespread falacies, but concepts that make one say, "What were we thinking?"

Akira

A fanon name for Dr. Katsuragi, coined by Reichu, and sometimes used as a shorthand identifier. Borrowed from Akira Ishida (Kaworu's seiyuu) due to speculation that Kaworu was cloned from Misato's father. That it is buried, in reverse order, in the string "Katsuragi-hakase" (= Dr. Katsuragi) is coincidental. For some reason, even though it's just a pet name, for a brief time certain people began using it in serious posts, rather than confining it in the fan-fic post where it first came up. This lead to much confusion among the uninitiated, who wondered who it was they were talking about. The practice thankfully petered out before long.

Serai

A fictional character concocted by Tbozfan at AnimeNation Forums whom he used to answer all controversial questions. Who's soul is in Eva-00?: Serai! Who shot Kaji?: Serai! Who caused the Episode 11 blackout?: Serai! I wish I could say that Tboz was just tired of the same questions over and over, but I'm afraid he was just being a pain. Once again, for some reason some people played along with this gag.
