Guides:Neon Genesis Evangelion (Episode 02) vs. Evangelion 1.0

← Back to Neon Genesis Evangelion vs. Evangelion 1.0.

The 1.0 part corresponding to episode 2 has a difference in the order of events compared to the anime. While the anime shows the fight against Sachiel retrospectively, as a flashback, the film follows the fight against Fourth Angel in the chronological order.

Events will be portrayed as per the original anime.

Face Plant!

In Rebuild, she falls onto her knees first. Huh.

Black Eye

Some new-looking stuff actually flashes on the screen during Sachiel's poundage, but we only have enough room for so much. (Plus these screens are so crappy, you should consider any deprivation an act of mercy.) Shinji's nut has been removed to give us a better view of Sachiel's handsome visage.

Rude Awakening

Tokyo-3

CG. Yay, w00t w00t.

"I'm Home"

Note some variety in the Rebuild counterpart. There's more advertising too. Doritos and all.

Pen Pen

MI-MI-MISATO-SAN!!!

A soul bath

In addition to the color of the water, Shinji's pose is a mirror image of Misato's. Also, there is a slight presence of Misato's nipples.

Bousou is Japanese for "Batshit Insane"

When the original battle was THAT cool, why change anything? All available cuts of the Eva-01/Sachiel battle correspond to ones in the original, although some have been completely redesigned. And, in over ten years, Sachiel couldn't come up with a more interesting way to piss Sho off than by breaking her arm and poking out her eye. Sheesh...

The original has more detail in the drawing. Also, the Rebuild sequence is wildly different: Rather than prying the jaw pieces apart and breaking a peg, Sho has to... Eh, better to see it in action yourself.

Original much more detailed here, as well. (Then, if we're being dealt a heavy hand of Cel Shading, this might be expected.) At least we get some eye-blinking action. And no more silly jointed mandible piece.

Okay, probably impossible to see anything in the shitty trailer caps, but you can pretend.

The blight of the shrunken pylons... Why? Why?

Taste the rainbow.

Sachi's eyes still go all sparkly before he does his crucifix of light thingy. His looks haven't changed in ten years!

Looks like it's red blood now for our Sachi. Appropriate enough, considering every other Angel known to have blood has it in red.

The original douga is represented here frame for frame. Stupidly enough, they let a blooper get through here: Day-Glo Eva-01 is supposed to have PAIRED stripes on her horn, not just one. WHOOPS. (Was it fixed in the final?)

Oooo... Core is spark-ly...

The rainbow symbolizes the homosexual inclinations that Sachiel had been hiding during his extremely short life. With his completely ineffective suicide explosion, he has been liberated... in more ways than one.

Or not.

Not included here is the first frame or two, showing that Sachiel bursts into a bloodbath a split second before KABOOM! Lovely.

Drastic differences, most evident in motion. Rebuild Eva-01 has more of a "possessed Eva-03"-type walk going on. Also note how she looks suspiciously like a man in a suit.
