NGE Season 2
is a parody twitter account that posts synopses for a hypothetical second season of Neon Genesis Evangelion, generated by AI text prediction. As Evangelion is already famous for being a particularly Mind Screw work, plots in Season 2 are predictably Denser and Wackier.
- Added Alliterative Appeal: Episode 49: Angel Attacks Anything After An Ambush
- Back for the Finale: Shinji reappears piloting Unit-02 in episode 39, which is the last episode of the first “cour”.
- Brick Joke: In episode 32, Unit 9 reactivates on the moon and heads for NERV, but somehow gets lost and never makes it. In episode 42, Unit 9 crash lands on the planet, seemingly inactive and/or dead.
- Funny Background Event: In episode 37, Jet Alone is destroyed while attempting to fight an angel, both of which are not mentioned until the very last sentence.
- Gainax Ending: It’s Evangelion. Special mention goes to the end of episode 39; Gendo kidnaps Shinji (who looks like Asuka) and tries to turn him into the new Rei (who looks like Shinji). He is thwarted by Lilith, who eats him, then Pen Pen wakes up from this “dream” and demands more episodes from Shinji.
- Gender Bender: Rei turns into Shinji after he leaves the story, though retaining her own personality, and Shinji later reappears as Asuka, though apparently now with her personality.
- Non-Indicative Name: Episode 45, Shinji Has a Good Time. He is absent for the entire episode.
- Put on a Bus: Shinji escapes from NERV in episode 32 and leaves the city, eventually ending up in Rei’s apartment, where an unspecified angel is apparently living. Shinji and the angel start watching TV together and Shinji disappears from the narrative.
- Reality Is Out to Lunch: Most episodes in general, even for Evangelion. Honorable mentions include Shinji’s clothes leaving him (then coming back later in the episode, which enables him to save the day), Gendo waking up next to his wife Asuka, Shinji dying three times in one episode, Misato boring an angel to death via break dancing, Rei turning into Shinji and Shinji subsequently turning into Asuka, Rei piloting Unit-01 and defeating a berserk Unit 7 by using a dummy plug as a bongo drum, and Misato merging with Unit-01 and leaving the planet.
- Remember the New Guy?: While not "new" per say, episode 50 is the first one to mention Fuyutsuki.
- Running Gag: It turns out Shinji is a pilot.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Kaji starts piloting Unit-02 in episode 28, but quits shortly after an angel refuses to let him talk, packing up Unit-02 to take with him.
- Genre Shift: Episodes 51 and 52 take place during the last sequence of a Tournament Arc wherein the Evangelions appear to be used like monster pets.
- The Bus Came Back: In episode 39, Shinji suddenly reappears piloting Unit-02… and now looks and acts like Asuka.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: In episode 41, Asuka is dragging Kaworu towards NERV when they come across a giant Rei. They continue on without so much as acknowledging her.
