1 | ''The Rebuild of Nobody Dies'' is a rewriting of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' fanfic ''Fanfic/NobodyDies'', written by Gregg Landsman. |
2 | |
3 | By and large, it starts off roughly the same--17 years after Second Impact, sixteen year old Shinji Ikari is called to NERV by his parents to ''shut up and get in the giant robot.'' Only, instead of a lime green monster rampaging around the city, the Angel attacking Tokyo-3 is Iblis. |

5 | Which Shinji kicks, in his giant robot, [[CurbStompBattle like a soccer ball]]. Things keep changing from there. |

9 | Updates stopped in 2014, though, and as with the original ''Nobody Dies'', this fic died when Gregg Landsman deleted his notes for both fics. |

11 | ---- |
12 | !!This fic contains examples of the following: |
13 | |
14 | * AlternateUniverse: Similar to how ''Rebuild of Evangelion'' was one to its original counterpart. |
15 | * ArcWords: '''I AM.''' This might be a reference to what Shinji said in the original ending for ''Evangelion'', since the first thing Iblis said is '''I AM I'''. |
16 | * ArousedByTheirVoice: Probably the fact he was woken up at 2 AM, but Shinji finds Asuka's voice to be this when she calls him. |
17 | * BadassBoast: The Angels are at it again, starting with Iblis. |
18 | -->'''I AM I\ |
19 | Through license of he who is named "I AM" I have come.\ |
20 | Though my feet must drag upon this Base Earth on this blessed quest, I have come.\ |
21 | I am the second of the messengers,\ |
22 | Tested against the might of those who profane the glory.\ |
23 | Your might shall be tested,\ |
24 | Measured,\ |
25 | And found wanting before us,\ |
26 | And you shall be washed away like debris against the stream.\ |
27 | I am the Sword of God,\ |
28 | Angel of Pride.\ |
29 | I am Iblis.\ |
30 | I have come.''' |
31 | * BerserkButton: ''Don't'' break Asuka's laptop. Or mistake Kei for Rei. Or threaten Shinji's life if Rei is even remotely present. If excessive force is available, ''it will be utilized.'' |
32 | * CassandraTruth: After a glitched MAGI warns that a sandwich, a dog, the planet Neptune, Maya, and Yui are all confirmed angels. Ritsuko is not in the mood for it declaring [[spoiler: Humanity as the 18th Angel]] |
33 | * CharacterCatchphrase: Shinji has one when distraught: "Oh what the fuck?!" And the majority of the cast? Anything referring to "giant robot", but usually "Shut up and get into the giant robot!" |
34 | * CuteClumsyGirl: Asuka in this one. She winds up torching dinner while talking to Shinji on the phone. |
35 | %%* DiegeticInterface: The plugsuits have this. Including a retina video display. |
36 | * DeadFic: The last update was 2014 and all notes for it were deleted. |
37 | * DeadpanSnarker: Shinji is this ''big time'' compared to his counterpart in the original fic. It also helps that he's the OnlySaneMan here. He apparently learned a lot of it from his aunt, and has this trait in common with his not-exactly-adopted-sister, Kei. |
38 | * DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: Shinji has a bad habit of voicing his inner monologue. [[FinaglesLaw Apparently, the chances of him speaking his thoughts aloud are directly proportional to how embarrassing it would be to reveal them to another person.]] Later, after mind-linking with Shinji in the Entry Plug, Hikari develops the same problem. |
39 | * DynamicEntry: Mari does this early on with Shinji. Except she's twelve, and she winds up standing on Shinji's chest. Rei also performs an Evangelion-sized one that is suitably epic. |
40 | * EldritchAbomination: All of the angels count, really, but special credit goes to Gaghiel: [[spoiler: a writhing mass of tentacles, eyeballs, harpoons, egg sacs for cherubim, and mountains of flesh and valleys of organs--so large that it blankets the sea floor for kilometers on end. As Misato put it, "Ah shit. It ''is'' the sea floor."]] |
41 | * ElectronicTelepathy: As stated below, Shinji, Kensuke, Touji, and Hikari have this when they're all connected to each other in Unit-01's entry plug. |
42 | * FinishingEachOthersSentences: Shinji, Kensuke, Touji, and Hikari all start doing this when they all get linked together in the Entry Plug. |
43 | * LampshadeHanging: Shinji in the third chapter asks a rather sensible question on why the [[HumongousMecha Evangelions]] would need the SquareCubeLaw in the first place. |
44 | * MythologyGag: Shinji saw a picture of Unit-01 [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5969134/1/NGE-Nobody-Dies-Ichi-s-Birthday-Party wearing a birthday hat]]. |
45 | * OnlySaneMan: In many cases, Shinji and Hikari. However, plenty of other characters have their moments as well. Rei, on the other hand... |
46 | * {{Rewrite}}: Of the original ''Nobody Dies'', due to the backlash on [[RetCon retconning]] the fourth season in the original fic and the author putting it in [[CreatorBreakdown hibernation]]. |
47 | * RunningGag: Several character say the term "giant robot" many, many times, almost to the point of OverlyLongGag. |
48 | ** A lot of characters make reference to Shinji's [[DeadpanSnarker passive-aggressive commentary.]] |
49 | ** [[BelligerentSexualTension "My god, it's 2012 all over again."]] |
50 | * SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Hikari and Shinji become an item after they are linked up in the Entry Plug. They break up later. |
51 | * ShoutOut: |
52 | ** The first chapter references the quote, almost-word-for-word from the first [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGMOMkACtn4 trailer]], in a conversation between Gendo, Fuyutsuki, and the others. |
53 | ** Chapter 2: [[WesternAnimation/MegasXLR Chicks dig giant robots]] |
54 | *** Also in Chapter 2, the opening runs a slightly modified version of the start of [[WebVideo/EvAbridged EvAbridged]]'s 2nd episode |
55 | ** Chapter 4 has one to Film/PacificRim on Synchronization. Even what Shinji went through the first time is vastly similar to the one in the film. |
56 | --->''Synchronization is two souls linking together through experiences, memories and thoughts to control the body of a weapon. The deeper the bond, the better you fight.'' |
57 | ** Iti Ayanami's quirky manner of speaking is unmistakably based on Mordin Solus, of the [[Franchise/MassEffect Mass Effect]] series, complete with short breathes before capping off her observations. |
58 | ** The MAGI system is revealed to not have the voice of Naoko Akagi, but, instead, has [[Videogame/Portal2 a meek British personality that isn't the smartest computer in the network]]. |
59 | ** Like the MythologyGag above, the image of Eva-01 wearing a birthday hat references [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5969134/1/NGE-Nobody-Dies-Ichi-s-Birthday-Party another fanfic]]. |
60 | ** During a power outage, Shinji jokingly asks Kei if she can see in the dark. Her answer is no, and [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 she can't make her eyes glow either.]] |
61 | * SlasherSmile: Shinji briefly saw an image of her mother pulling that off when they met Kyoko in the seventh chapter. Needless to say, it creeped him out. |
62 | * {{Squee}}: Rei tends to get very excited about piloting her Eva, and becomes even more so when whatever she's fighting does something cool, like becoming a Transformer. |
