* VillainousBreakdown and VillainDecay: These go hand-in-hand for [[spoiler:Natlateth]] at the end of the motion picture.

* AdaptationDistillation
* AIIsACrapshoot: SHODAN, Durandal

* CharacterDevelopment: Croft getting a dose of this around the Leliel fight kicks off the series [[GrowingTheBeard growing its beard]].

* CloningBlues
* CouncilOfAngels: Straight from TabletopGame/InNomine.
* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:San Ayanami]]
* DeusExNukina

* DoomedHometown: Worcester-3
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Ritsuko, though DJ manages to stop her.]]
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Subverted; believed to be the goal of the Angels, but is actually the goal of NERV/SEELE.

* GreenRocks: Elerium.
* TheGreys: [[spoiler:They are revealed to actually be minor demons.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: The {{Artificial Human}}s are revealed to be these; also, [[spoiler:Shinji]].

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: GENDO friggin' IKARI, after he was revealed to have spent the entire series up to that point, and over a decade before, under [[strike:Ethereal]] demonic mind control.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Kaori Yamashita, near the end of ''Apotheosis Now''.]]

* ParodySue: Claimed for DJ
** ParodyRetcon: What most people suspect the above is

* RecapEpisode: Episode 3:0, ''The Big Show''. The narration by the ''Series/SportsCenter'' hosts turns this into a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: SEELE has this for about half the civilized world.
* YouShallNotPass: DJ does this at the end of the regular series.

* {{Hatedom}}: A popular target of ire and criticism from fans of the original source - often aggressively so.

It is often the target of mockery for its UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny nature and for DJ Croft being a MartyStu; however, fans claim it [[GrowingTheBeard Grows The Beard]] later, becoming better the more it diverges from the original source. However, it is very different in tone -- and content -- from canon ''Evangelion.''

* CharacterDevelopment: Croft getting a dose of this around the Leliel fight boots him out of MartyStu status and kicks off the series [[GrowingTheBeard growing its beard]].

** This phobia really should have reared its ugly head when he gets trapped in an elevator with Misato. For that matter, it should have reared its ugly head any time the latch closed on his Evangelion cockpit before the system started up. This is the mother of all retcons.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Mentioned in 1:9 that Great Britain decided to go this route after Second Impact, after the example of "poor old Elizabeth". (Even ''Ireland'' signed on to the idea, God alone knows why!)
** Nothing like half the human race dying to make one re-asses one's living arrangments. Besides maybe they figured that this time around the British would be nice(r) about things or at the very least, that that was a risk worth taking when the alternative is anarchy and starvation.
*** [[SarcasmMode Because nations have had a history of uniting with others after devastating catastrophes like the Black Plague.]]

->''"But what the hell d'you need -me- for?" [DJ Croft] asked, running a hand over his thick black thatch of hair. "I mean, granted, I -am- [[SarcasmMode the world's most handsome and sophisticated fourteen-year-old boy]], but what good is that to NERV?"''

** Despite accusations that DJ Croft and Jon Ellison are "disguised avatars", WordOfGod says no. But that never stopped anyone.

* {{Hatedom}}: With a rather large member count, much to the exasperation of the fic's legitimate fans.

It is often the target of mockery for its UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny nature and for DJ Croft being a MartyStu; however, it [[GrowingTheBeard Grows The Beard]] later, oddly becoming better the more it diverges from the original source. However, it is very different in tone -- and content -- from canon ''Evangelion.''

* ''IronMan''

* ''TheJudge''

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: GENDO friggin' GENDO, after he was revealed to have spent the entire series up to that point, and over a decade before, under [[strike:Ethereal]] demonic mind control.]]

''[[http://www.eyrie-productions.com/NXE/ Neon Exodus Evangelion]]'' is a ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' FanFic by the good people at Creator/EyrieProductionsUnlimited. It is an AlternateContinuity fic where Shinji, the Third Child, ran away after watching Eva-00's disastrous synchronization test, so they bring in the Fifth Child, the son of [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]] and [[Series/TheXFiles Fox Mulder]], Derek Joshua "DJ" Croft.

While not a ScriptFic, ''NXE'' is structured to simulate the episodic format of a TV series; it is broken down into three "seasons" of nine "episodes" each: ''The Gathering Storm'', ''Balance of Terror'', and ''Revelations in Real Time''. The third season ends on a [[{{cliffhanger}} cliffhanging]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Crowning Sequence of Awesome]], which left the story unresolved for several years of real time until EPU released a final installment called ''Neon Exodus Evangelion The Motion Picture: Apotheosis Now.'' This novel-length story caps the entire series with a suitably epic-level conclusion that fulfills all the potential exhibited by the previous 27 chapters. Starting in the third season it also includes the infamous [[{{Omake}} Bonus Theater]] segments, which showcase short humorous pieces, bizarre SpinOff ideas and lighter, often FourthWall-breaking, views "behind the scenes" of the production.

* TheyMightBeGiants: In addition to Gryphon and Truss's out-of-story observation that Shigeru and Aoba look like the guys in the band, there is a moment in 2:2 when Rei quotes a line from "Birdhouse in Your Soul".

* ''VideoGame/{{Half-Life}}''

* {{Area 51}}: Given a throwaway mention as an {{X-COM}} base they are forced to abandon

** As of 2016, it has appeared in the form of a ''Film/PacificRim'' slash ''Film/RebuildOfEvangelion'' form, especially if the first chapter title [[note]]"This Is (not) a Test"[[/note]] is anything to go by.

* AcePilot: Well, it ''is'' [[VideoGame/{{XCOM}}:Big Sky and Firebrand]], after all
