1	''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5999251/1/The_bReprint_b_and_Repackaging_of_Evangelion The Reprint and Repackaging of Evangelion]]'' is a parody/humor fanfiction written by Marik Kurakashi and hosted on Fanfiction.net.
2
3	The story is yet another AlternateUniverse retelling of the series, featuring a fast-talking and smart-mouthed Shinji that is called upon by Gendo to pilot Evangelion Unit-01. What happens when he's ordered to actually pilot, however, deviates from the norm in a big way and [[AffectionateParody sets the tone for the rest of the story]].
4
5	As of April 2021, the fic is completed.

7	----
8	!!This fanfic contains examples of:
9
10	* AffectionateParody: No time is wasted in the story to make fun of anything and everything, even itself.
11	%%* AlasPoorVillain: In-universe with [[spoiler: Iruel and Leliel. Yes, both of them]].
12	%%* AllWomenAreLustful: You know things are out of control when Asuka has a more restrained libido than Rei for pete's sake.
13	* TheAtoner: Gendo grew a conscience after Yui's death in this fic, and he feels genuinely bad about sending Shinji away.
14	%%* AuthorAppeal: Rather obvious with the not-so-subtext in the fic.
15	%%* BigGood: This seems to be Gendo and Fuyutski's role in this story.
16	* TheCameo:
17	** Leeron and Leite from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' work for NERV's weapons division.
18	** Simon's an intern, Yoko works for the JSSDF, Kamina's got a city job, and ''Anime/GunBuster'''s Kazumi is taking care of Noriko.
19	** Creator/GamesWorkshop exists as an island
20	** Chapter 16 brings us a cameo from Mana Kirishima from ''Girlfriend of Steel'' and [[Manga/ShinjiIkariRaisingProject The back up bridge crew.]]
21	** ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'': Gendo created Panty and Stocking, and is apparently on speaking terms with Garterbelt.
22	* CerebusSyndrome: The story hasn't gotten ''darker'', and the humour is still present, but with some of the most recent Angels - namely, Iruel and Leliel - being depicted in an more AntiVillain light, the Angels are being treated less as joke villains and more sympathetically. Averted with [[LargeHam Bardiel]], however. [[KnightOfCerebus Zeruel]] is amping it up even ''more'' since he's being established as the first Angel who is a credible, ''genuine'' threat. Hoo, boy ...
23	* ChainsawGood: The double bladed chainsaw sword used by Rei in 12
24	%%* DeadpanSnarker: Shinji
25	%%* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The Narrator - during the SEELE scene in Chapter 17 - and Bardiel.
26	* EyeScream: [[spoiler: Zeruel takes a prog knife right in the ol' eye ball.]]
27	* AGodAmI: Rei snaps and proclaims "I am the closest thing to God these humans will ever know." after Shinji blows her off. She calms down.
28	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Attemped by Lilith with her gifts to Gendo. Specifically, she was trying to get him to read the Dead Sea Scrolls and go nuts, where upon he'd murder everyone at NERV before himself. Averted though, through yet to be revealed means.
29	* TheHeart: Asuka's role is to be the one who understands and empathizes with the opponents even more than the other two.
30	* HeroicBSOD: The pilots have one after [[spoiler: the confrontation with Leliel.]]
31	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Leliel has Shinji destroy her so that the Children won't end up in a different world from their own]]
32	* HumanoidAbomination: Mari Illustrious Makinami is a scientific experiment of Gendo's, specifically housing the soul of an Eva in a human body.
33	%%* HurricaneOfEuphemisms: Maya colorfully shoots down Aoba in 15
34	* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every chapter title is a song lyric
35	%%* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Leliel.
36	* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Many of the Angels are so pathetic that it's hard not to feel a little sorry for them when they inevitably get their asses handed to them by the pilots. [[spoiler: Iruel and Leliel's deaths are definitely sad]].
37	%%** However, this has been subverted with [[spoiler: Zeruel, so far.]]
38	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Shinji's still a hero, but ''man oh man'' is he touchy. Still better than [[EmoTeen canon]].
39	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: [[spoiler: Zeruel]]
40	%%* KnightOfCerebus: Zeruel.
41	%%* LargeHam: Bardiel
42	%%* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Bardiel, again.
43	%%* LemonyNarrator: The descriptive prose gets off track at times.
44	* LoveConfession: After Rei [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy removes herself from romantic contention]], Shinji admits to Asuka that he likes her, always liked her more, and was just holding out in hopes of getting a threesome. That this [[RelationshipUpgrade actually works]] instead of causing his instant death shows what kind of story this is.
45	%%* NoodleIncident: "November 13th, freshman year."
46	%%* Power Trio: The Eva Pilots.
47	%%* RousingSpeech: Delivered by Gendo in chapter 7
48	%%* ShipTease: The story chooses to tease both Shinji/Asuka and Shinji/Rei.
49	* ShoutOut: Lots and lots of shouts
50	** AT-fields are ''[[Manga/TheLuciferAndBiscuitHammer Domain Control]]''
51	** Shinji and Asuka defeat an Angel with ''Manga/{{Kinnikuman}}'''s Cross Bomber.
52	** Shinji and Asuka, along with Kensuke, Hikari, Touji, and Rei, watch a [[Manga/Change123 Kamen Raider movie]]
53	** [[Series/DoctorWho Iruel and Asuka are afraid]].
54	** There was a double feature movie based on the ''Literature/HorusHeresy'' and ''Literature/GauntsGhosts''.
55	** NERV are [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} the best at what they do]].
56	** Shinji is in despair! This romantic comedy bit [[Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei has left him in despair!]]
57	%%* SingleStrokeBattle: The finals showdown with Ramiel is this.
58	%%* TheTease: Asuka towards Shinji
59	* ThisIsADrill: Shinji uses a giant arm drill against Sandalphon.
60	* {{Tsundere}}: Rei has a few elements of this. Justified in Chapter 5, where Gendo reveals that Shinji probably awoke Yui's teenaged personality. Since Rei suggesting a fate more violent for Ramiel then Shinji's suggestion of spamming [[WeaponOfMassDestruction N2 mines]] was the proof he needed, this is probably not a good thing.
61	%%* TheUnfought: [[spoiler: Bardiel.]]
62	* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: [[spoiler: After meeting and talking to Leliel, the pilots start to question whether the other Angels were actually decent individuals who they could have befriended. Also done with Iruel, but to a somewhat lesser extent]].
63	%%* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Shinji and Asuka using wrestling moves to beat Israfel.
