History FanFic / DazedandConfused

* PeggySue: {{Deconstructed|Trope}} by being turned UpToEleven. While Shinji came back, [[spoiler: so did everyone else]]. As such, most of the conventions of the Peggy Sue fanfic are quickly or immediately broken. Shinji's plan, in typical Evangelion fashion, comes crashing down on top of him.

* Foreshadowing: Earlier in chapter 4, Shiro Tokita shows that Jet Alone can actually project an AT Field, which should be impossible since it's a man-made machine without a soul. Unless, someone decided to [[spoiler: spray Ireul onto it to give it that ability.]]

* Troll: [[spoiler: Lorenz Keel. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, really]].]]

** [[spoiler: Areal shows up, hijacks Rei like [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Zeruel]], [[MindRape mind rapes]] [[TropeNamer Asuka]] ''again'', then mind rapes everyone else, and is finally squashed like a bug by Asuka.

** [[spoiler: Ritsuko is implied to come from a timeline where more Lovecraftian abominations run amok, a la AeonNatumEngel/AeonEntelechyEvangelion or ChildrenOfAnElderGod.]]

* AxeCrazy: Asuka. [[What does she do to a younger version of herself while being [[MindRape Mind Raped]] by Arael? Strangle her to death.]]

* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler: Shinji kisses Rei, giving her enough willpower to kick Arael out of her body. It's also what keeps Arael from harming Shinji.]]

* CrazyAwesome: Many of the time travellers. [[spoiler: Rei takes down Ireul possessing the Jet Alone (with some help from Misato), Asuka kills and eats Gaghiel's S2 engine alone, and Hikari sneaks into Terminal Dogma in order to take DNA from Lilith. So she can make a new dog with it.]]

* [[spoiler: DemonicPossession: Arael possesses Rei this time around.]]

* ILoveNuclearPower: [[spoiler: Ireul possesses Jet Alone Prime.]]

* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler: Shinji kisses Rei, giving her enough will to kick Arael out of her body.]]

Not to be confused with [[Film/DazedAndConfused the Art Linklater movie about the last day of the 1975-6 school year]].

** [[spoiler: Rei's timeline was [[LighterAndSofter surprisingly tame]]. Gendo raised her as a semi-regular child, the Angel battles weren't too rough, and she enjoyed a love triangle with Asuka and Ahinji before winning Shinji's heart.]]
** [[spoiler: In comparison, Asuka's timeline was [[DarkerAndEdgier not]]. The Angel were shockingly worse and could only be defeated by Unit One's [[BerserkerRage beast mode]]. Once Shinji decided not to return from Unit One after Zeruel, things spiraled down from their. Rei used up all her clones trying to help, all of the other children died, Seele had to come out to help, and finally, Asuka failed and Third Impact was initiated on the Angel's terms.]]

"There was no hope." -The opening lines.

Shinji gets sent back in time. The catch is that everyone is acting different. Almost as though they were sent back in time as well...

What starts out as a standard "Shinji Ikari goes back in time to fix everything" fic quickly becomes something else entirely when Shinji realizes that everyone, friends, coworkers, [[OhCrap angels]] seems to have also come back in time to make their own changes and create their ideal future. Time travel just [[RealityEnsues got]] [[HilarityEnsues hard]]...

Needs wiki love.

!! Dazed and Confused contains examples of:

BadAss: Asuka, and how!
* To clarify, her battle against Gaghiel went like this: the Angel trains water drills, poisonous ink, high voltage electricity, decoy lighting and razor sharp teeth, all underwater, all against a girl who is supposedly inexperienced. Asuka destroys it [[spoiler: and eats it's S2 organ]], with ease and without her power umbilical.

PeggySue: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] by being [[UpToEleven turned up to eleven]]. While Shinji came back, [[spoiler: so did everyone else]]. As such, most of the conventions of the Peggy Sue fanfic are quickly or immediately broken. Shinji's plan, in typical Evangelion fashion, comes crashing down on top of him.

PeggySue: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] by being [[UpToEleven turned up to eleven]]. While Shinji came back, [[spoiler: so did everyone else]]. As such, most of the conventions of the Peggy Sue fanfic are quickly or immediately broken. Shinji's plan basically amounted to a BatmanGambit in it's simplest form: use his knowledge of the future actions of everyone else around him to save the world. In typical Evangelion fashion, it comes crashing down on top of him.
