I think there have probably been forum-stuffs on this before, but can we positively ascribe the XBOX HUEG explosion to something that should, by its very nature, just be busy annihilating A.T. Fields? Also, to make matters more confusing, I think Chronicle considers 3I to have officially started by that point -- which makes sense, I suppose, considering the juxtaposition of data on Maya's laptop -- but I should double-check. --Reichu 20:19, 31 July 2007 (EDT)
Dash or No?
Isn't it spelled "Anti-A.T Field" with a dash? --V 11:33, 31 July 2007 (EDT)
- This is unknown, to my knowledge; the only official rendition I have seen is アンチＡ.Ｔ.フィールド (ANCHI A.T. FI-RUDO). I thought the dash was awkward since "A.T. Field" is comprised of two elements -- thus, "Anti-A.T. Field" = "Field that is against A.T.". --Reichu 12:28, 31 July 2007 (EDT)

The reason I think we have to ascribe it to that is that we have nothing else to call it. Right before the explosion they mention the Anti A.T. Field and then the big boom that uncovers Lilith's Egg. Let's also not forget that even though Adam went boom herself, we're not sure how much damage she caused can be attributed to her explosion compared to the Anti A.T. Field she created.
It would seem to me that if A.T. Fields have the ability to exterminate life, then making things go "boom" is part of that. Whatever it was is essentially wiping out everything surrounding Tokyo-3.

It WAS starting, but then GNR interferes. It seems logical (to me), that Third Impact (the one that actually wipes out all existing souls) would not have happened if not for Shinji's destrudo initiating it. Eva Yojimbo
- I don't think this is the preferred format for responding on discussion pages. ^_^;; If you can try to edit it to put it under the proper heading, that would be uber-cool.
- I'd recommend "playing things safe" for the moment and trying to word things without ascribing one thing to another if it's not entirely straightforward. Know what I mean? As for Third Impact -- for what it's worth, Chronicle's glossary uses the image of the giant, eyeball-looking explosion in that particular entry (though maybe I should translate the caption for lulz). --Reichu 06:46, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

I don't have clue one what I'm doing so I couldn't if I wanted to. ;)

I guess this would be another candidate for a T&A page. It's often hard to differentiate personal theories from facts - especially if you've accepted them long enough, ya know. BTW, how are you guys getting the date/time and all that on here? Eva Yojimbo
