Is there really a chance that they survived post-third impact? The problem is not knowing if all earth is like the background behind them, they are on ground zero area where the impact made a big explosion and the geofront exploded on space. Thought it seems that all Earth is in red just like the Rebuild movies.
We also have no idea if others humans came back, Asuka was killed but she came back, Misato was absorbed but seems to have died because Shinji made a grave. Is this because only Shinji and Asuka chosed to come back? Or maybe only them wanted to come back on this area of the planet? It mean that even the NERV staff and old ass Fuyutsuki chosed the fucking safe space.
Gendo wasn't even absorbed, he probably died on the black moon inside NERV base, on space.
There is a possibility that humans came back on the area where they were absorbed. So Shinji came back rejected on the water by Eva 01 all along and Asuka was inside Eva 02, she could have been teleported by the power of her mommy inside the Eva or the Eva corpse just fall from the geofront and crashed on the sea around the area.
All people inside NERV base died in space.

Maybe I am confusing it with someone's headcanon, but I heard that some scripts of the movie mentioned that only Tokio-3 looked like that due to being Point Zero of the Third Impact and that the rest of the world was fine-ish.
As for the humans, Yui made it explicit that after Shinji left, it was up to any human to leave or stay... so it depends on how is your faith in humanity (or at least the one in EVA) that decides what happened next.
It may look bleak, but don't forget that Shinji is literally the only person on Earth who already has experience with coming back from tanging. And his first time took him 32 days.
Hunter Morris
It was different. shinji was completely fucked at that time, maybe a couple thousand humans kept being lcl considering the state of their world.
Luis Robinson
Don't care doesn't matter stop being a plotfag
Daniel Bell
Eva’s nihilism disgusts me. It’s one thing to critique common delusions rife in 80s Mecha, but another entirely to imply that everything was always gonna fucked, and Shinji could never possibly do anything to change it. I can’t respect Eva for it’s repulsive fatalism.
>stop caring about the plot What did he mean by this?
Nathaniel Wright
The show itself decided that the plot was unnecessary.
Austin Ortiz
It’s the truth. What can 1 kid do against a hidden cabal that controls the world and have future telling scrolls.
Ryan James
I believe Asuka did not die in the first place, her EVA just got torn apart which probably hurt like hell and fucked her up even more. I'd assume that people who died before instrumentality stay dead. And who knows if they lived or not but I feel like they must have since the whole point of the show was choosing between escapism and harsh reality.
Andrew Flores
you're a salty misatofag aren't you. come clean.
Luke Sanders
Does Shinji even know about Seele to oppose them?
Isaac Sanders
>Tposing before it was cool
Caleb Fisher
If you’re preaching nihilism, what’s the point of doing anything? What’s the point of talking about Eva? What’s the point of watching a show where every event is fatally unavoidable?
Nihilism serves no purpose to anybody and admits as much by the very definition of the word. Why would you circlejerk about a show that says “pfft nothing matters, kid? Just to feel superior to people who actually care about things? Fuck Eva and fuck Evaniggers.
The series isn’t saying nothing matters. If it did, it would end with Shinji simply embracing instrumentality. But he doesn’t because he feels life is worth living.
Wyatt Ortiz
you need to rewatch the show if you think eva is preaching anything close to Nihilism
Austin Young
Exactly. I can't fathom that a person can finish EVA and say that the message is "nothing matters".
Leo Myers
EVA isn't nihilism. It's existentialism to it's core, it's the most fucking direct show on the planet aside from maybe Berserk.
Michael Adams
It's an interesting thing to think about though
Chase Morgan
It's still a point relevant to ask questions about. They just shown us two characters staying alone on an apocalyptic area.
Another point is: did people who came back remember instrumentality? Was this like a dream for them? Are they aware it's Shinji behind all that?
Ryan Ortiz
Those questions are not within the purview of the anime. I can see wondering if people will come back afterwards as important to the themes of the story due to being an extension of shinjis personal crisis, but those smaller questions like the ramifications of what actually happened or how society will rebuilt are unnecessary. Suffice to say if they wake up, people will get back to their lives eventually.
Leo Nelson
Yes but they still left us with two characters on a destroyed area with one crying and the other one saying she's disgusted. It does not feel really concluded, they just experienced a traumatic transcendance.
Angel Diaz
You might get an explanation in 3.0+1.0 if it really turns out that nge+eoe and rebuild are connected.
Ryder Watson
Even if they are connected, it can't be a direct sequel. Rebuild has a fairly established history that's different from NGEs, and the changes go way, way back.
Easton Adams
>All people inside NERV base died in space. We literally saw them get tanged
Juan Ward
I mean, IF they really are connected then it's likely the loops/cycles were triggered by shinji(?) sometime after eoe, and whatever happened to the world, shinji, asuka and the rest of humanity (if they came back, that is) in that timeline might be explained in 3.0+1.0. I agree rebuild can't be a direct sequel btw.
Austin Turner
Artistic licence. Just trust the text that its feasible, there's not meant to be some hidden twist
Robert Gray
Because realising nothing matters sets you free.
Ethan Gomez
will you fight, or perish like a dog?
Cameron Howard
>it can't be a direct sequel But it's confirmed Shinji is just remaking the world over and over. And Kaworu is the only one who remembers for some reason.
