YMMV / Neon Genesis Evangelion 2

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Chairman Keel Lorenz of SEELE is an elitist psychopath with a god complex. Having triggered the Second Impact and killed off most of humanity for his plans to become a deity, Keel now funds NERV to defeat the monstrous Angels, while subtly making moves to advance the scenario in which he and his cohorts in SEELE's council may transcend via the Human Instrumentality Project. If he discovers Gendō Ikari's plan to betray him, Keel manipulates the Japanese military into assaulting NERV headquarters and slaughtering the staff nearly to the last. When another Evangelion pilot fights back, Keel attempts to have his violent, mindless Mass Production Evangelion units painfully tear them apart. Seeking to initiate Third Impact using Evangelion Unit-01, Keel cares nothing when his plot causes all of humanity to suffer nightmarish visions as they are remade powerlessly into Primordial Soup under him. His scheme meaning a state of permanence for all that lives under him, Keel's designs cruelly twist the benevolent intent of humanity's alien ancestors' original plan. Lacking the ambiguous desire to evolve humanity of his original incarnation, Keel's dialogue makes it clear he is a vicious megalomaniac willing to inflict endless suffering to take ultimate power.
  • Memetic Molester: While the scenario in which Fuyutsuki coerces Shinji into dressing up as his mother, Yui, and demanding that he calls him "Fuyutsuki-sensei" while taking pictures of him, is overtly intended as a comedic omake of sorts, but it still has made the Eva fandom see Fuyutsuki, his crush on Yui, and how he views Shinji and Rei, in a bit more disturbing and creepy light.
