"Evangelion 3.0" | – |
Evangelion: Final is the working title for the fourth and final film in the Rebuild of Evangelion movie series. It was believed to be released in Japan alongside the third film, Evangelion 3.0, at an unspecified date. The film was originally slated for a release in 2013 on the japanese website, but the date was removed. The name has been changed to what could be interpreted as either the symbol for "End" or "Repeat" in sheet music.[1].
Unlike the three previous movies, the title is rendered in Katakana as "Evangelion" in the same manner as the TV series. The previous three movies had Katakana that spelled "Wevangeliwon". Speculation by fans based on the Jo-Ha-Kyu structure of Japanese drama suggests that Final will incorporate the fourth and fifth acts of the Japanese drama cycle, depicting a long journey and coming to a quick conclusion[2]. Alternatively, the series may be following the Kishotenketsu[3] narrative pattern which concludes in the fourth arc. Whether or not the movie actually follows either pattern of Japanese drama remains to be seen.
Plot
Specific plot details are unknown at this time, but the final film has been promised to make up a "new, alternate ending" to the series[Source needed].
