help The End of Evangelion FAQ

Where does The End of Evangelion fit after Neon Genesis Evangelion episodes 25 and 26?

The End of Evangelion was released in 1997 as a theatrical ending to Neon Genesis Evangelion. It revisits the same endpoint as episodes 25 and 26, but shows the external collapse of NERV, SEELE's plan, and Third Impact in a more literal way.

Do I need to watch Death and Rebirth before The End of Evangelion?

Death and Rebirth came out in 1997 before The End of Evangelion, but it is mostly a recap plus an early version of new ending material. For most viewers, the core path is the 26-episode TV series followed by The End of Evangelion.

Why is Asuka's fight against the Mass Production Evangelions so important?

The fight gives Asuka a final major action sequence after her psychological collapse in the TV series. It also shows the Eva Series units sent by SEELE, which become central to the Human Instrumentality sequence.

Is The End of Evangelion connected to the Rebuild of Evangelion films?

It is part of the original Gainax continuity created by Hideaki Anno, not the later Rebuild film series. The Rebuild series began with Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone in 2007 and eventually reached a different conclusion.
