This is a page for trivial but useful information about the Evangelion TV series, Rebuild of Evangelion, and, if necessary, other elements of the Evangelion franchise. It has been created upon user suggestion.

End of Evangelion credits

The credits for the video releases of Episodes 25' and 26' are different from those in the theatrical version of End of Evangelion. The End of Evangelion has Thanatos - If I Can't Be Yours (vocal version of Thanatos) between 25' and 26'. The text is orange in a twisting single-helix pattern scrolling upwards.

Video version of 25', otherwise, consists of credits only for "Air" part. It has a falling red "snow" background with text scrolling straight upwards. The background audio is of Thanatos (Short Version). And, finally, video version of 26' has a falling white "snow" background with text scrolling straight upwards. The background audio is of Jesu Bleibet Meine Fruende (strings version). It consists of credits solely for Magokoro wo Kimi ni.

Episode 20's continuity error

In a straightforward continuity error, Shinji's plugsuit is seen floating inside the Entry Plug, when Shinji remained in his school uniform in the previous episode. Ritsuko's line, "His mental self-image is pseudo-substantiating his plugsuit" is present neither in the screenplay nor the storyboard, meaning it was probably added in a later stage when the continuity error was noticed. The Netflix subtitle translation renders this non-literally as the more sensible sounding "His mental self-image is manifesting a facsimile of his plug suit". Thanks to Captain Crooks for bringing attention to this here

Misato's cross

Misato's cross appears with a different hole in NGE and EoE. While in NGE the cross had a side hole, in EoE the hole is frontal.

This article bears the unpleasant designation of "Stub." This is a Bad Thing. Provide a great service to NGE fan-geeks everywhere by making it awesomer!
