Neon Genesis Evangelion Trivia Quiz

Answer: False

During his first battle, Shinji is seriously attacked by Sachiel until Unit-01 wakes up, counter-attacks Sachiel and it auto-destructs in a final attempt to destroy the EVA. In Episode 16, Leliel "eats" Unit-01 and after being in the Sea of Dirac, the EVA goes berserk and kills the angel with its progressive knife. Finally, Zeruel is brutally killed by berserk Unit-01, which gets the angel's S2 engine after devouring it.

The case of Bardiel differs from the others because the EVA was controlled by Rei's Dummy Plug (independent attacking system).

Answer: Asuka likes Shinji

One of the most important scenes of 'Neon Genesis Evangelion', Asuka's mind-rape reveals a lot of important stuff about Asuka's feelings and the causes of her "tough-girl" nature: Her mother's suicide, Kaji's constant rejection and Shinji's indifference.

It's shown that she's actually attracted to the Third Child and in several occasions she tried to get his attention by using her "gifts", but she never got a response from the young boy. Finally in 'End of Evangelion', she shows Shinji by caressing his cheek that she really cared about him.

Answer: 'Seele'

Seele means 'Soul/Spirit' in german. Therefore, Brain and Nerves (mental elements) need to be in a stable balance with the spirit and soul (emotional/existential elements) in order to synchronize with the Evangelions. The connection between the three is indirectly shown in the series as the SEELE organization supported both GEHIRN and NERV agencies. Also notice that the three names are always showed in 'CAPITALS'.

Answer: Four

Misato drinks a total of four different brands of beer in 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'. In Episode 5, Misato drinks two brands at the same time: "Yebisu" and "Yebisu Premium", both cans the same. Then, in Episode 7, she changes to "Yebichu" (similar can with some kind of drawing/logo in the center) and finally, in Episode 10, she drinks "BOA" (grey can with red letters that read 'Kuroshio Bussan'). After Ryoji Kaji's death, Misato switches to UCC canned coffee, also featured in 'Rebuild of Evangelion 1.01: You Are (Not) Alone'.

Answer: Kouzou Fuyutsuki

Deputy Commander Kouzou Fuyutsuki met Yui Ikari when he was teaching physics at the Kyoto University. He always "felt" something for Yui, as he admits in the series that when he found out that she was getting married he took an even deeper dislike for her future husband (and second mentor), Gendo Rokubungi (later Ikari).

After Second Impact, he started working with Ikari at NERV, serving as the vicedirector and advisor of Gendo. Also, in 'End of Evangelion' it's shown that Rei/Lilith takes the form of Yui when initiating Fuyutsuki's Instrumentality, which implies that Kouzou was in love with her.

Answer: He wanted to move his sister to NERV's medical facilities

Personally, I think Touji Suzuhara is one of the funniest characters in the series. He is the stereotypical sport jock who usually wears black/white stripped jogging clothes. He likes sports (mostly basketball) and it seems that he has a little crush on the class-rep, Hikari Horaki.

In Episode 17, he accesses to pilot the EVA Unit-03 on the condition that his injured sister be moved to NERV's private hospital (medical facilities...). Finally, after the tragic events caused by the fight vs. Bardiel, he loses his left leg and then moves from Tokio-3 joining Kensuke and the rest of the children from their classroom.

Answer: Angelic Days

"Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days" (aka "The Iron Maiden 2nd") is one of various stories being inspired by the alternative universe stated in the Episode 26 of 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'. In this 'parallel universe', Evangelions and everything related to them doesn't exist. Shinji and Asuka are childhood friends and share a love/hate relationship on which the main story is centered.

This romantic comedy is also an adaptation of the PlayStation 2 game, "Girlfriend of Steel 2", were Shinji gets the chance to choose his real love: Asuka or Rei.

Answer: Reprise of Evangelion

"Reprise of Evangelion" was vaguely based on its predecessor and the information featured in the poster made it even more incredible: The director's name (Shigerou Aoba, a First Lieutenant and computer technician from NERV), the illogical existence of Rei (who died in 'End of Evangelion') and the fact that the original name was "Ai wa sadame, sadame wa shi" ("Love is destiny, destiny is death"), which is the name of an online novel. Gainax confirmed that the project didn't exist and soon after, they started working in 'Rebuild of Evangelion', a remake of the TV series, divided in four parts (1.0, launched in September 2007 and 2.0 announced for December 2008/January 2009).

Answer: True

Indeed, there are several graphic mistakes in 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'. For example, in Episode 8 ("Asuka Strikes!"), it is shown that Asuka wears her iconic yellow dress and then, when she undresses and puts her plug suit, the yellow dress has now an additional white bra, which she never used back then. Also, notice that Ritsuko Akagi's earrings are actually "pasted" in her ears and that in Episode 9, when the MAGIs are analysing Israfel's ADN data, we see that the screen reads: "Patttern confirmed".

It's all about being perfectionist.

Answer: Yuko Miyamura

Yuko Miyamura (Asuka's seiyuu) got so involved with her character that she even had the chance, and pleasure, of writing this interesting conversation between Asuka and her stepmother, in german language. The conversation includes an interesting message for Shinji (and the fans), were Asuka says that he's a "good boy" and that she's very "popular" with him.

It seems that Asuka still had hopes with little Ikari after all. Too bad... maybe after Third Impact?
