No AT field
LT. RedSand Not just masturbating, but masturbating to completion.
Just a puppet, hanging by-- oh wait
Until you get to the angel that can infect computer systems. That angel would take over the Jet Alone and use it against mankind.
No “human” element.
No Poop
i like the fact, that it costs less to build a walking power plant than to power an eva
just imagine, a walking potential nuke is more cost efficiant than an eva
Is the Eva a weapon to surpass Metal Gear?
In terms of budget? Probably not
Kurokochi An reactor is not a nuke
It never have enough fuel to get into a nuclear explosion
But it can cause contamination of an area by a nuclear meltdown.
the more you know
lol
Probably because an Eva is pretty much like having a (gigantic) child and taking care of it, because you know, it has gadgets and has biological functions that take lots of money to keep up with.
Next up: In Defense of Pen Pen
there is no defense, pen pen useless
@@mustang2262 bruh
Penpen>god
Pen Pen doesn’t need a defence, how could you possibly dislike him? He literally doesn’t do anything, so he can’t do anything wrong.
Pen Pen is world building also, because the seas are ruined people are keep near extinct animals as pets. There ya go "In defense of Pen Pen" :)
How could people not like Magmadiver? I mean come on...

Jet is the show's best villain from a meta point of view because he had the potential to replace the EVA units entirely and ruin the show. No suffering pilots, probably no 3th impact. Just dead angels and happily ever after. All the drama that I liked this show for would just vaporize.
"Just dead angels"
No AT Field and nuking the Angels only stalls them.
Yeah, but Ristuko seemed genuinely worried when she heard about them developing an AT field for Jet, that was a prime 'ohshit' face, so apparently that's something you can build without any angel whatsits.
"3th"
The last few angels appear in less than a year from this episode, and I don't see Jet Alone being able to do anything against any of them, other than being trashed by them. MAYBE if the next angel came after a decade or something they could turn this Proof of Concept into an actual effective weapon.
Still not able to become a god though.
its debatable whether Jet Alone could even produce such a thing in the first place. it's of course entirely possible, otherwise Ritsuko wouldn't shit bricks at the mention of it, but as Kaworu explains, AT Fields are something all "living beings" possess. the AT field is only visible for angels and Eva's because there's are physically strong enough, due in part to the fact that there's an angel in there, as well as another human likely in the form of primordial soup. how would Jet Alone produce an AT field from something that cant possibly possess one since it isn't alive? without just turning it into a bootleg Eva at least, and throwing a soul in there.
I always found this episode very important because NERV sabotaging Jet Alone is the first time it's really implied that they have an agenda that isn't about just protecting humans from the Angels. Before Human Work you can view NERV as an organization willing to do absolutely anything to protect humanity. After Human Work it's obvious they are in it for themselves.
I have only seen 8 episodes so far but watched it yesterday and it's been my favourite so far
Shinji does (not) approve
PK Rockinit Evangelion 4.20
Is that a fucking gigguk reference!?
SHINJI does (not) want to pilot the god damned eva
I am (not) laughing
I bet jet alone could beat Shinji's Eva in a walking competition.
Capsy Dash so would anyone that saw episode one
@@StarkSpider24 what?
Technically speaking, the whole episode is just Shogoki losing a walking competition
My guy jet alone loosing a walk competition against itself. Wildest shit i've ever seen
Jet Alone is one of the better episodes preceisely because of the world building. It's not something I noticed on my first viewing, but if you go back to the episode after finishing the show, you can appreciate all the hints it was giving to the big payoffs later in the series.
Jet Alone has good world building like how Nerv's budget is destroying nations
Evas are stupidely costly to mantain
Ulforce Megamon But the only way for humanity to bypass angel’s AT Field
@@ulforcemegamon3094 yeah i heard operating it could bankrupt a country
@@theod4660 is that really the only way, or is the only way NERV and SEELE wants it to be in order to initiate third impact, idk maybe an artificial AT field could indeed be created with enough time and resources, but looking how they went their way to ruin the reputation of jet alone it would really be surprising if they shut down similar researches just so that they could keep their monopoly in angel fighting weaponry
@@theod4660 Positron Gun , you know the one used earlier in the series? the one that used a ton of electricity , gee i wonder if a robot with a nuclear reactor and such a weapon would work ? no wonder NERV sabotaged them
Great vid. I agree with you but man, I think you skipped one of the most downright foundational revelations of the episode. Misato is treated as an utterly disposable asset by NERV and her "best friend" Ritsuko.
They keep Misato in the dark; Ritsuko lets her charge into a nuclear reactor on the verge of meltdown in the heart of a rampaging robot and Misato nearly dies in the process. That's pretty cold of Ritsuko and NERV in general. If I recall correctly Ritsuko doesn't even seem particularly conflicted about it.
It really casts the rest of Ritsuko and Misato's relationship in a different light. All the characters in Evangelion are broken in various ways, but Ritsuko may be the most chilling.
That is why Ritsuko deserves every single slap that Misato gives her later on. The relationship between the two changes from being warm to distrustful once Misato realizes that Ritsuko has lied to her about everything.
Really makes her fate at "The End of Evangelion" satisfying
Ritsuko is bound to loneliness and sacrificing others by her own choice, as Gendo. She's quite the opposite of Rei, but the two of them feel manipulated and empty nonetheless. Akagi is a great character, strong, dark, and emotionally more mature, about distance between beings and such philosophical matters.
She's ready to end humanity for the sake of one thing : truth on the form of true love. Her last word is : "liar". She's cold, and morally corrupt, but her goal is all but human. Decency of heart.
I'd like to be more subtle to you guys, but english is not my forte.
Whatever
misato and ritsuko weren't really the healthiest friend relationship knowing how they both distrust and despise each other near the end of the show, goes to show that some friends you think you know don't reveal their true color until you do
Ritsuko is a terrible character anyway lol
Well, I can't really see why people wouldn't enjoy this episode. It is after all the first episode to truly reveal the influence and shady side of NERV. After re-watching Eva for the seventh time now, I believe, I'll say that thinking about the episode still manages to give quite the chilling impression, if that says anything.
50MT Revolutionary agreed
Yeah I felt it was kind of a "filler" episode when I watched it back in the day. But it really does set up how cold-hearted Ritsuko and NERV are. Everybody is disposable, even Misato.
And then in later episodes Ritsuko goes back to being Misato's friend.
I think it's interesting because it brings in the aspect of "Is anyone else making giant robot(like) figures?" and the answer ends up being a fully mechanical one was indeed tried- and NERV intervened to make sure it wouldn't happen again. Plus more secretive motives and operations even the people working for them have been ensnared in...
@@johnbewty Also, if you're a Misato fan, it's probably one of the most important episodes for building her character.
There are no “bad” episodes in Evangelion. Even magmadiver is decent.
Aaron Landry now that is an enlightened opinion
Episode 25, Episode 26
Lord Dash Donald Dappington I love the last two episodes
I think while 26 gets a free pass, 25 is the worst. Anno basically admitted that 25' (first half of EoE) was the original plan and that what we got was cobbled together using recycled footage and it shows. It's really more of the same as 26 and it actually detracts from 26's impact. I know I pretty much switched off during 26 once I realized it would be much the same as the previous episode. I think folks would be far more accepting of EoTV if it were just 20 minutes and not nearly 50 minutes of random imagery.
14 takes close second for being almost equally pointless.
When I first watched Evangelion, I actually stopped watching partway through episode 25. Anyway, so after a few weeks I managed to drag my way through the last 2 episodes, but couldn't come to a conclusion as to what I would score it out of 10, so I made a spreadsheet and graph in excel, rating each episode out of 10. Like HyperToxBox says, I actually scored episode 26 twice as high as 25, it was that much better. (episode 25 got a 1/10 whereas 26 got a 2/10) If you're wondering, the whole series averaged out to a 6.58, which I rounded to a 7/10. This actually fit my overall opinion of the series, and the vague idea of a score I had before undertaking the project. Oh and Jet Alone got a 6/10. If anyone actually cares for some reason, I can post my scores for all of the episodes so you can insult my shit taste.
Rebuild 3.0 + 1.0 will be about the inner struggle of Jet Alone and his inability to relate to the Eva’s. That will be my theory until the film is officially released.
Have u seen the trailer that dropped for 3.0
@@dangerouslypink2394 He was right Jet Alone was the main focal point of the new trailer
this comment aged like fine -wine- milk
@@mirobg1252 the best wine milk ever
@@b-moviepaul2116 i re-edited the comment, check again
Wow I was just thinking about this ep.
A relatively minor bit of the episode that you and most people missed is that this episode is the first one that really tells the viewer that Misato isn't a party to the deeper conspiracies inside nerve when she doesn't know that the robot going out of control was intentional sabotage.
What, someone didn't let the violent drinker in on the high-stakes heist?
Fun fact: jet alone is actually a reference to jet jaguar from the Godzilla series, having a similar color scheme and a mind of its own.
Update: no, not the tristar animated series.
IT'S GODZILLA
Evangelion pays homage to Japanese kaiju-related franchises such as Ultraman and Godzilla, apparently, so the name of Jet Alone was probably given because of that
Jet Jaguar was created by a kid in a contest to have their own character in a movie, the kid submitted a character he called "Red Alone"
Toho made "some changes (the entire character was changed)" to turn him into Jet Jaguar
So Jet Alone is a combination of both of those names
@@_Rndom it looks like Godzilla, but due to international copyright laws, it is not.
You forget to mention that one of the most important things in this episode is how Ritsuko betrays Misato by letting her go inside the JA beforehand.
Yeah! And then she just goes back to being Misato's "friend" in future episodes. Really shows how cold Ritsuko can be.
She knew nothing would happen to her
@@johnbewty Well, in all fairness, Jet Alone was never going to blow up; it was rigged to make it look like it was going to. It is messed up that Ritsuko used Misato, but her life wasn't in any real danger.
@@Wiccanwolf08 misato almost fell from the top of JA. I suppose that is a life threatening issue
She was Exposed to Radiation, how isn't that dangerous as hell?
*EVAS ARE JUST TITANS WITH BATTLE ARMOR*
*TITANS ARE JUST EVAS WITHOUT BATTLE ARMOR*
You must be new to the world of anime....
EVA was the prophet to foreshadow AOT long before it became a thing!
Got it backward Titans are just Angels without armor.
Don't forget the mechanicals enjancements.
I marathoned this show when I was 12 and I never even remembered Jet Alone until the second viewing. So when I think of my least favourite episode, it doesn't even register on that list
lol same here
I dont ever recal seeimg that mech
I felt the same way the first time through the series. On the second viewing, I realized this episode is kind of incredible because we learn that Ritsuko keeps Misato in the dark about the hacking operation and seemingly has no problems letting Misato die. It really makes you think differently about their whole relationship for the rest of the series.
Pretty much this, I remembered Jet alone out of blue one day and it's just that scene of it been pushed back when it's doing that goofy side arm flop and I actually thought it's some random brain fart... till it become clear to me some time later that it actually happened in the show. Still didn't remember it's name till I searched it.
Its was also the first time where misato had a truly concrete evidence about NERV's shenanigans, it's a shame that episode is rather lack luster.
I never rember seeing this guy its the mendela effect
I always thought the Jet Alone episode was odd, given how Gendo was willing to put Eva 01 to work for other non-Angel related things. He even congratulates Misato and Shinji at the end of the episode. For once Evas aren't being used to tear giant alien beings limb from limb, destroy 14 year olds' egos and trigger apocalypses.
Well, as Misato noted while inside Jet Alone (and is confirmed by Gendo at the end of the episode), Jet Alone going out of control was a work of sabotage on behalf of NERV. Gendo wanted to flex some muscle and prevent funding from being diverted from NERV. He congratulated Misato and Shinji in order to keep up the ruse.
He played ja like a damn fiddle
I think the meme is called "Shinji holding a mug"
Yup
I thought it was called the "disappointed shinji" meme
I honestly think that the main reason people hate this episode is because the Jet Alone looks so shitty
morgana but the way it walks is so good. It has a perfect running form
truegamerking This is the peak of robot performance. You may not like how it looks, but this is how it is
In more ways than one! Jet Jaguar's originally proposed name was "Red Alone".
I'm surprised that this episode is just liked, it's actually the first episode of the show I ever saw. And it's one of my favorites.
jet alone looks cool fuck you
I liked this episode because there's something about Jet Alone that I found almost scary. The already mysterious and sinister atmosphere of the show combined with the very retro and inhuman design of Jet Alone was unnerving to me. I could tell by the fact that it was aimed at the control center that it would walk into it. Evangelion does a really good job of making powerful things like the Evas and Angels truly feel massive and powerful. The fact that it was so massive, so inhuman, and completely out of control made it one of the only parts of the show that made me a little uncomfortable. I doubt it was intentional but it's something I felt. At least until Unit 01 came to stop it and it got kinda comical.
We need to see what Shinji's life was like before Asuka crashed into it, episode 7 does that well. I actually like the action arc because we see what happy/confident shinji would be like.
I love that Shinji's arc is to be an unconfident person who gets confidence and a place in the world, then has it robbed from him and falls below where he started, it's an unusual arc.
It's the first hint that Nerv is not that good an organisation too :p
Did... did you watch the ending?
He doesn’t have it robbed from him he just gets depressed and fucks shit up as a response.
@@violetsparkles5453 I mean he DOES realize that the reason people talk to him is because of the Eva (thanks a Lot Kensuke), and the fact that the One Time he showed some confidence he got trapped in a nightmare dimension
FINALLY someone acknowledges the EVAs are cyborgs, god bless you kind sir
Frankly, Jet Alone should have gotten a TON of resources allocated to it, at the very least as a backup to the Evas. Even a giant, nuclear-powered mecha would still have been MASSIVELY cheaper to produce and operate than an Eva, and even if, say, you only managed to give it a rudimentary AT field, you could just swamp an Angel with numbers until one got through. The Evas are a Tiger II to Jet Alone's Sherman; massively complex, finicky and expensive, but very powerful, vs cheap, reliable, and good enough to get the job done.
I would have liked to see a Jet Alone unit go up against an Angel at least once.
You could also have a group of Jet Alone's help Eva's by distracting/immobilizing or even tanking hits for the Eva to just finish the fight
Yeah , i mean there are many instances where with the help of 2 or 3 jet alone evas could have done more damage and kill angels faster
I don’t understand why everyone dislikes this episode it’s honestly one of my favorites I like being out side of Tokyo 3 and focusing on ritsuko and misato
I appreciate EP7
It's not my favorite, but I really like the episode.
How Misato is constantly blockaded by Ritsuko in her attempt to stop Jet Alone, and you only realise why at the end.
The whole thing was sabatoge by Gendo.
Misato wasn't in on the plan, but Ritsuko was.
You know where she belongs in the chain of command.
It's pretty neat.
“worst” is the wrong therm, “least great” would have been more appropriate
And even that is not true.
Least great is the blackout episode ''oh an angel is attacking and the power went out'' ''The pilots are here and they shot the angel'' ''Lets never bring up how NERV was completely sabotaged ever again''
FLY ME TO THE MOON
8:18 Shinji didn't fail, he's just testing the face armor.
Fun Fact: Jet Alone is a reference to Jet Jaguar from Godzilla vs. Megalon - its design is directly inspired by the robotic hero, down to the doofy grin, and his name, "Jet Alone," is a combination of JJ's name in the movie, and the original name the character was created with, "Red Alone."
Anno is a diehard tokusatsu/kaiju fan, and Eva itself is just as much a send-up of live action Japanese movies as it is of mecha anime.
Misato is the best
Pen pen best girl
I always thought it was pretty obvious that Jet Alone was meant to be an analogy for more traditional giant robots/mecha shows and it's failure at the end represents the passing of the torch to Eva as the new mecha for the modern times. At least, that's how I saw it.
Bobby Jenkins Hmmm that kinda makes sense. Never looked at it that way.
What failure are talking about/I hear this all the time from Eva fans but I'd bet you'd probably seen little if any Mecha shows outside of evangelion.
As for what it actually is, it's a reference like many things in Eva are, to past franchises. In this instance jet alone is a call back to jet Jaguar from Godzilla.
Antony Shannon Jet Alone’s failure at the end of the episode is what I meant and I do watch other mecha shows outside of Evangelion and while obviously not every mecha show became Eva, it still made an impact on the genre and you can still see Jet Alone as a tribute to more traditional mecha.
Jet Alone failure was caused for Nerv's sabotage. XD
Agreed! The fact that it would have worked if not for Nerv, just makes the commentary that much more interesting 💛
This was the episode that gave us the pissed off Shinji meme. Honestly, this episode is actually one of my favorites in NGE
Actually the AT-Field requires sentience according to the last angel, he said it's the thing that blocks everyone out of your mind so no JetAlone cannot get an AT-Field
well, maybe the jet alone guy fought it's a weapon that can be created. we did not know ourselves up to the very end.
Until you add a human brain to control it. Like the nerve main frame
Jet Alone could probably be equipped with something that 'stops' AT Fields from being effective. I imagine it'd be possible for someone in the world of Evangelion to come up with something akin to a 'if it doesn't adhere to the Standard Model of physics, then this will render it useless' type device.
Jet alone was one of the most specifically memorable episodes in my book because it showed the power and limits of a robot weapon in this universe.
As someone who just finished the series- thank you for helping me have even a bit of understanding of wtf an eva is
You're most welcome.
I recently re-watched the series, I found impressive the details they hid in plain sight. For example, at the begining, in that shot of jet alone's black and orange console, if you pause it, it shows the computer memory of JA and it's partitions, then you can even see that they copied one of the Maggies into a partition, that's how Nerv sabotaged JA, they put a copy of a state-of-the-arc artificial intelligence virus in it
I felt this episode showcased more how petty some of the characters were and how hamstrung people like Misato, Ritsuko and company were in open debate. I'm sure if Ritsuko had been given permission, she would've torn the Jet Alone project manager a third butthole for his arrogance.
In fact, I almost feel like she only looked so confident in her initial questions because she was sure they were in the dark on various details. Upon realizing she didn't know how much had been leaked, she felt that she needed to keep quiet.
Basically, she was looking for a response that she could troll the crap out of, realized she couldn't without revealing critical secrets and it soured her mood; hence why she and Misato were so grumpy (even if only Misato showed her displeasure).
Though to be fair the managers arrogance was warranted considering without NERVs sabotage of jet jaguar it would have worked and could have been a valuable asset in humanities defense
weirdly enough jet alone was one of my favorite episodes in the series when I first watched the series. I even went in completely blind
you forgot one of the best motivational quotes, a call for action "Determined efforts are better than waiting for a miracle! - Misato"
Episode 7 serves a meta-structural role. It's to establish a baseline showing Shinji falling into a normal routine with Misato before the "disruption" in the form of Asuka (and Kaji) arrives. If the episode is banal, it at least had a purpose in being so.
Jet Alone episode gets a pass for me because of Ritsuko rocking that blue outfit.
Ritsuko rocks like hell.
this episode gave us the happiest shinji has ever been and the maddest shinji has ever been...
me: Look is jet jagua- wait... no it's jet alone
8:55 Oh man, I also want to hold a cup of Shinji holding a cup of Shinji holding another cup of Shinji holding a cup!
I always like this episode, because it was such a change of pace from the weekly format up to this point, and carried on thereafter
"Nerv will donwhatever it takes to achieve all its goals"
You know, *sips tea*, this hits differently when you've seen the series and know the end.
WHAAT Magma Diver is one of my favorites. I love the last scene, with Asuka asking Misato about her scar and Misato telling Asuka to forget the past.
I definitely appreciate this episode more after this. One of the nice things this episode does as well is really add to Ritsuko's characterization. Like you said, it shows NERV's place in the geopolitical landscape. It also shows Ritsuko's place within NERV and starts to show how integral she is to the functioning of everything they do.
One thing i really like about Jet Alone is just how starkly it draws the line between Those Who Know What's Really Going On (Gendo, Ritsuko) and Those Being Kept In The Dark (Misato, Shinji). This dichotomy defines a lot of the goings on at Nerv for the rest of the series and this is the first time it's really spelled out
I love the 8-bit music in your videos. I didn't realise I needed that until now.
Great video. I've only actually watched through all of Eva once but sometimes I go back and revisit some of it, and episode 7 was one of the ones that I glossed over and considered one of the more boring episodes but this definitely gave me a deeper appreciation for it.
keep up the videos my friend
I will try my best!
you are the only channel on youtube who give this anime the respect it deserves with high quality content , what you are doing is amazing you have been able to gather people and create an eva society from people all around the world . just wanted to say that and ask for more consistency with eva news and the new movie coming up thanks and have a great day my friend..
Thanks, there was an obvious lack of regular Evangelion video content, and I thought it would be a great way of sharing my passion for it. Sorry, I meant to keep up to date on news, I am trying to get caught up to the present. Should only take a couple more months. I want very much to keep an unbroken record of Eva developments.
You are such an asset to the fan community for this series. Please keep doing what you are doing!
Thanks for this episode, I really liked Jet Alone! I also really like the Magi episode, that's actually one of my favorites.
I always set this episode aside to show after End of Eva when I introduce people to the series. it's a good lighthearted comedown from EoE
Thought this was going to be about defending "Jet Alone" itself.. Instead I got blindsided by the fact that Eva's poop.
Seriously, I had to take 3 whole seconds before reacting with a loud "WHAT!?"
I’ve watched this video around 7 times now and it keeps reappearing in my recommendations. I once left it on loop for an hour without even noticing it was on loop.
Great video! I’ll have to rewatch ep 7 not just for the world-building details you mentioned, but to see the shinji mug meme in action.
Wasn’t aware this episode needed a lawyer but ok.
You have the right to remain Shinji. Anything you whine about or masturbate to can and will be used against you in a court of anime.
youfreakinnerd nice
Thx for the subtitles
You are most welcome. Is your native language something other English, or are you hearing impaired? I hope that's not rude to ask, I manually subtitle/caption my videos to help with those who might be fans in other parts of the world, but accessibility is also important to me.
Eva Monkey You wasn't rude at all , my native languange is portuguese. I like ur content about NGE and ur hard work helps me to inprove my reading and listening ..
Eva Monkey I wanted to thank you too for the manual subtitles, I have hard time hearing proper words, so they help a lot! Thank you!
I've seen the show 3 times now, I forgot Jet Alone existed until the last video you put out. I guess on the next rewatch I'll have to pay more attention to it
Nicely done, thank you for this.

assuming the cage fluid is not dilute LCL, the pink color reminds me of cell culture's animal/human cell media. assuming this is a 10% fbs DMEM, I did some quick calculations. guess how many tens of millions of cow feti would be used each filling session...
lol, that was random... imagine how expensive it is, especially when you have to add EGF or something like that everytime anew
Since the entire planet’s major bodies of water were turned into this substance tho I’d bet that that is what the Eva cages are full of, albeit maybe with some cow thrown in for good measure XD
probably, but color just looks like Phenol Red, may be a security thing with the show's instant Bakelite too color-wise
I very much doubt that they would have the technology to build bio-organic gods, without having learned how to synthesize LCL in the process, lol
they just use the pool of lcl made from the other bio-organic gods in their basement. but lcl is orange, this pink stuff seems like part of the repair process or safety/cooling when working with the evas.
how do you just keep making great videos? its like what ever you touch turns to gold
My college tuition hard at work. Thanks mom and dad!
I always liked this episode.
Plus it's one of the best episode to show what kind of person Misato is.
Never thought this episode was bad. Just as you said, It provides much needed context. Always felt that the series would benefit from at last one more "outer NT boundaries" episode.
When I re watched that episode I was talking a Information Security course. When Shiro Tokita's urgent authorization request crashes with the wall of bureaucracy and procedures I laughed hard because I've been in that situation more than once, albeit with no robot.
I always loved jet alone, the point about the helicopters was very Interesting though. It's the sort of detail you can miss so easily but that adds depth.
Nice video! I’ve always wondered about the hate for this episode... It is one of my top 25!
Dude great analysis!
I like how evangelion deals with the realistic reaction of a teen having to pilot a mechanical killing machine like drafting a child soldier
This video earned you a sub. All hail the Eva geekery
Noice!
I sincerely liked it. Showing how humans themselves were trying to match the Angels, and how Nerve was sabotaging them.
Do more of these episode break downs! Great stuff.
I love jet alone. He’s such a cute floppy boi.
Magma diver tho, pains me.
Ahem, you all fail to see the budding relationship of Shinji and Asuka in magma diver, and how the penis relates to the phallus in Lacanian psychoanalysis, and how Asuka shows off to Shinji, because Shinji is the possesser of the phallus, or the desire, that she wants, figuratively filling the holes in one another. This episode shows that their puts it plain as day Asuka's attraction to Shinji, and that their relationship could have ended up very differently if they were able to get through to one another, if Shinji was willing to open up in these middle episodes.
Or something like that, lmao, thermal expansion
Thermal expansion? Ick. I always thought it was all about gelatinous fluids and the contraction of ring muscles. Humans are gross.
love how you talk so calmly
OMG WELCOME BACK, I have missed ur videos so.
Jet alone was the best thing in Eva, fite me.

LMAOOO IT'S HEERO
I just got into NGE a month ago. I only had to wait a month for 3.0+1.0 lol while some of you have waited over 20 years lol. I guess I got it coming with the Elder Scrolls 6. Such a long wait as well..
The final two episodes of Evangelion are perfect and one of the greatest TV endings ever made and you can't change my mind.
Very interesting. I recently watched Evangelion for the first time, and "A Human Work" was one of the episodes that I liked the most. I found the insight into Nerv's place in the world very cool, especially since the one thing I was dying for with Evangelion was more worldbuilding.
>In defense of jet alone
_Doesn't talk about it until past halfway_
diddy_dante it’s called context dumbass.
Jet Alone doesn’t require a mentally unstable pilot to function and doesn’t have a super vulnerable cable that renders it useless if it breaks.
A Human Work is a fine episode and this is a fine episode as well.
I forgot I subscribed. Just goes to show how expertly crafted the lore was in Eva.
Welcome back!
You need to rename this. You spend, at most, 30 seconds 'defending' Jet Alone. A better title would be "things in this episode that you may have missed." Another possibility would be, "plot review by this point."
Pointing out the good you missed in an episode is still defending it
@@thesaucyprophesy2939 title implies that the focus of the video is jet alone, but it is barely talked about. It could be called click bait thy name is jet alone 😋
Nobody:
Eva Monkey: IN DEFENSE OF JET ALONE.
Jokes aside, in the world of EVA Jet Alone project should have gotten way more funding.
it also revealed that NERV isn't humanity protecting agency.
Okay you've convinced me, good episode
Excellent points all around.
I love this episode of eva. It does so many thing I like. The most important to me is how we see some of the happenings outside of Tokyo-3.
I love your channel and pls do your best to be one of the best UA-camr is ever
I'm trying! And you do your best as well, smash that thumbs up button, drop a comment, share with friends, all that jazz. It's my goal to cover a wide range of Eva and Eva-related things! The more support I get, the harder I'll work!
You are most welcome.
Great analysis!
Weird I always liked ep 10 there's so much plot going on there
