General Questions
- Fourteen years went by since Eva 2.0? Seriously?
Yes.
- Did the events of the preview from 2.0 happen during the timeskip?
Certain events fit into what is seen in 3.0. For example, "Eva-06 descends to Dogma" is something that must have occurred, as Mark.06 is located in Central Dogma as of 3.0. The impoundment of Nerv's staff by the UN is development that fits what's seen in 3.0, but can be neither confirmed nor denied. Alternatively, "The quickening Eva-08 and its pilot(s)" appears to be a victim of the developmental process, and the ideas contained in that cut seem to be redistributed between Eva-13, Mark.06, and Eva-08.
- What is the Curse of Eva?
Asuka only provides the vague "Curse of Eva" as the reason why she looks the same after fourteen years. No further elaboration is provided. Whatever this "curse" is, Mari appears to also be affected, as she, similarly, looks the same as she did in 2.0.
Speculation: Eva pilots might be uniquely exposed to a phenomenon that causes their physical aging to stop. An early speculation held that LCL exposure was somehow responsible.[Source needed] A more detailed hypothesis proposes that the suspension of aging is caused by synchronization with an Eva at a high plug depth.[Source needed] Asuka achieved this when the 9th Angel took over Eva-03, and Mari, as well, when she activated Eva-02's Beast Mode. If this hypothesis is correct, then Shinji will also be affected by the "curse", due to reaching the Great Beyond Depth in the battle against the 10th Angel.
Character Questions
- What happened to Rei?
Misato claims that Rei no longer exists, and Ritsuko likewise says that Eva-01 had been thoroughly checked, with only Shinji and the SDAT turning up from within. However, according to Fuyutsuki's later infodump, the Rei from the previous two films is "preserved" inside Eva-01 along with Yui.
The Rei featured in this film is a different clone, whose full designation is "Tentative Name: Rei Ayanami".[Source needed]
- Where's Kaji? Is he alive or dead?
- What about [insert character name here]? Are they alive or dead?
- Did Kaworu mislead or manipulate Shinji in any way?
- How did Shinji cut off Kaworu's controls?
- What's the deal with Seele? Who/what are they?
- What are Gendo's goals?
- What happens to Mari?
- Why does Asuka use the word "Lilin" at the end?
Setting Questions
- What's that big moon that Kaworu shows Shinji?
The Moon.[Source needed]

The Black Moon.[Source needed]
- What's the deal with the pyramid on the pole?
- What's with the tooth canyon? Or the giant iris?
Impact Questions
- Is there a difference between "Near Third Impact" and "Third Impact"?
- Which Impact happens during the final sequence of the movie?
Fourth.
Eva/Angel Questions
- Where the heck is Eva-01 in this movie?
- What are the things that attack Eva-02 in space? Some kind of Angel?
Nope. They're Evangelion Mark.04.
- What is the Wunder? An Eva? An Angel? What?
- What does the phrase "Adams' Vessel" mean?
- What's the connection between Mark.09 and the Wunder?
- What happened to the 11th Angel?
The 11th Angel is never mentioned. However, because Mari calls the 12th Angel the "last Angel", it is implied that the 11th was previously dealt with.
Speculation: AAA Wunder has been surmised to be the 11th Angel, with Mark.09 being its disembodied core. However, this theory does not take the above-mentioned implication into account.
- What is the 12th Angel?
Will be addressed in its article.
