Summary
The secondRebuild of Evangelionmovie ended with a ribbing for the next film , but that picture would n’t be out for five years , leaving fans with a mysterious effigy of Asuka wearing an patch that led to a lot of gag . While Asuka does have an eyepatch in the third film , it ’s kind of glossed over , leaving many rooter of the original series to marvel how exactly she got it .
Among the many changes forRebuild of Evangelion , one of them was eliminating Toji Suzuhara , Shinji ’s friend from schoolhouse , as a likely EVA pilot . However , the events related to Unit 03 and the Angel still hap – this time , however , it ’s Asuka in Unit 03 ’s pilot posterior .
Unit 03 is contaminated by a blue goop , which turns out to be the Ninth Angel . The goo reaches the interior of the entry plug and begins to contaminate Asuka as well , stimulate an emergency alarum as the Eva activates and begin rampage . unit of measurement 03 is now indistinguishable from an angel , and the former entry spark plug is now recognized as the Angel ’s essence . Unit 01 ends up destroy Unit 03 , ripping the Eva to tatter , but Asuka ( somehow ) live on .
Asuka Has an Eye Patch Because Unit 01 Attacked Her
WhenAsuka is next seen inEvangelion 3.0 , she wears an eyepatch over her left heart , although it ’s not treat . The initial supposition one would make is that it ’s an injury from the Unit 03 incident , which is at least partially true . Later in the film , when Shinji and Kaworu descend into Terminal Dogma in Unit 13 , Asuka tries to discontinue them with her promote Unit 02 . Unfortunately , that does n’t put to work .
With nothing else left to try , Asuka takes off the patch and divulge a " sealing pillar " has been imbed where her eye was , and that the Ninth Angel was never genuinely purge from her trunk . slay the seal , the Ninth Angel takes hold and Asuka ( and Unit 02 ) transforms . Unfortunately for Asuka , this response from her was part of the plan , and her Angel core ( the entry fireplug ) is absorbed into Unit 13 .
Neon Genesis Evangelion ’s EVAs are some of the most unique prospect of the serial . Here ’s a test down of every EVA encountered in the original anime .
From a meta - perspective , there ’s another reason why Asuka has that eyepatch . InEnd of Evangelion , Asuka and Unit 02 are get the better of by the Mass Production Evas equipped with duplicates of the Lance of Longinus . One of them throws the Lance at high speed , piercing Unit 02.The eyepatch inRebuild of Evangeliondoubles as a nod to this iconic panorama , and perhaps even act to convince dedicated fans that they be intimate what find to her eye , only to be surprised by the Ninth Angel unveil . It also help to show that a fair amount of time has pass on , despite Asuka and the other Eva pilots not having aged .
Asuka’s Eyepatch Was Also a Reference to End of Evangelion
" Pirate Asuka " surely was the focus of some memes around the time of the patch ’s reveal , butNeon Genesis Evangelionhas taken what first seemed a bit silly and made it properly dismay , just as the series is so just at doing .
