Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 13

新世紀エヴァンゲリオン [Shin Seiki Evangelion] #13

by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, John Werry (Translator)

Books based on the landmark animated series that redefined the mecha genre.

Japan's most controversial anime series is over...but not the manga version of Neon Genesis Evangelion ! Series co-creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's personal interpretation of the Evangelion characters and story is sure to intrigue new and old fans alike. In 2015, the "Angels" have returned, and Shinji Ikari, a fourteen year-old child of the new Earth, is forced by his father Gendo--commander of the secret organization NERV--to pilot the monstrous biomechanical weapon called "Evangelion" to match the Angels' fearsome power...

The world hangs in the balance as Asuka fights to survive an onslaught of Evas determined to destroy her. Shinji rushes to help, but he may be too late. Deep inside the NERV command center, Dr. Ikari is about to set in motion the last act of the Instrumentality Project. Everything has gone according to Ikari's plans so far, but even he cannot foresee the role Shinji will play in determining the future!

Have I told you how crazy this series is? I think I lost all my nerves to feel anything about the next volume (final.) Also, Ri's transformation is freaky, and Eva's transformation in Rei's form is seriously disgusting. But I'm just glad Ritsuko gets the revenge for herself. But I think, Commander Ikari's death isn't official yet? It has to be gory. I need more blood (for that man's death.)

First Misato..now Reiko... *sigh*
I am not sure what is happening or is it a good thing or not. It is heading to the big conclusion, unfortunately with more confusion. Just leave poor kids alone! They have had enough!

Pēc oficiālās versijas pirms 15 gadiem, īsi pēc tūkstošgades mijas, Zemi ne tikai skar, bet tajā ietriecas ne pārāk liels meteorīts, bet ar gana lielu ātrumu, lai tā postošais spēks un pēcāk sekojošās kataklizmas laupītu dzīvību vairākiem miljardiem cilvēku. Bet draudi Zemei un tās iemītniekiem ar to vien nebeidzas, pēcāk uzrodas ironiskā kārtā par Enģeļiem sauktas dīvainas tehnoloģijas un bioloģijas kombinācijas būtnes. Vienīgais glābiņš šķiet rasts faktā, ka šie Eņģeļi, lai kādi būtu to mērķi, neizmanto situāciju, lai tos realizētu.

[CountZeroOr · Rating 5 out of 5]

Man, Shinji & Asuka can't catch a break. This time Asuka gets saved from death (a death that got played in the movie a lot like a rape) at the hands of the Mass Production Evas by Shinji, and Shinji gets his one triumphant moment where he manages to save someone, only for the trigger to get pulled on Third Impact anyway.

Also, poor Maya. She finds what is potentially a great job, with a boss she greatly admires in Ritsuko, to the point of falling for her, only to discover that Ritsuko is morally compromised, the giant robots she's helping to maintain are horrific monsters (leading to at least two occasions where she tosses her cookies), and Lilith sends her almost-but-not-quite-incorporeal-enough hand through Maya, which I have no doubt would have been a horrific sensation.

I've got to say, though, Ritsuko getting the last laugh by shooting Gendo through the throat was quite satisfying. If the characters who have died aren't going to get to join the Great Link in Third Impact, then I'd consider Gendo's death to be justice. Though again, if the characters who died don't get to join the Great Link, then I'd say that Misato & Kaji deserved far better - even if they don't get to come back out afterwards, then I'd say that they at least earned eternity together - but that's my inner romantic talking.

This is the penultimate volume of this series and what a fast, page-turning whirlwind of a read. Entirely dramatic and unpredictable events and no one comes out of this unharmed! Frankly, we lose some major characters, but that comes as no shock as it's been happening all along in this series. No one is safe! I haven't watched the anime so I have no comparisons to make. But I'm utterly fascinated with where this story is going to end. Rei is probably my most favourite manga character ever and I can't wait for the final volume to come out. This volume though is all action right from the beginning. It's not heavy on text and actually has many wordless (except FX) scenes as battle is at an optimum here. Great cliff-hanger ending. Vol. 14 was published in Japan this year, Jun. 2013, but so far there is no release date for the English edition. I'm hoping we don't have to wait too long!

2015,Oct.16: Re-read - I'm just now finally getting to Vol. 14 so I've come back for a re-read. Man! This is just so good! The art is breathtaking! And I'm just left feeling so overwhelmed! What does it all mean and how will it end?

despite being one of the heaviest volumes in the series so far, it's also the most brief. I appreciate the author's ability to juxtapose scenes of intense, visceral action and brutality with poignant moments of childhood and everyday life as flashbacks. it creates a more emotional reading experience. Rei sabotaging Gendo's plans is one of my favorite scenes of all time, the way a soulless body gains emotion through human experience is the epitome of sci-fi (not that I've read much).

Se nota que es el penúltimo volumen ya que por fin esta a punto de suceder el tercer impacto.

{2nd readthrough}

The Story: All's been previously revealed: machinations, prophecies, etc. and all's been previously confirmed. Now, all of that word-of-mouth is finally SHOWN and expanded upon through context. Gendo (containing Adam) tries to fuse, against all caution, with Rei (Lilith) - a selfish as ever tactic to be with Yui. (pg. 83)

Leave it to Evangelion's operations crew to specifically keep introducing new big brain terminology, both scientific and biblical, straight on through the penultimate book. TIL a high-points worth Scrabble word from Aoba: "Malebolge." It's a reference to the eighth layer of hell in Inferno, and it served as layers or barriers for the tunnel en route to Terminal Dogma? (pg. 106) Makoto gave me the less harmful "E-layer", the layer of the ionosphere able to reflect medium-frequency radio waves. (pg. 149) I'm making an Eva dictionary next time, dammit.

Quote appreciation!

1) With the purification of the red earth representing eternity we first bring the GeoFront to its original form. - Kiel, pg. 107; Again, Seele wants to boost an unnatural evolution, Gendo will abuse any resource to be with Yui, but Shinji will hopefully set everyone free from either fate.

2) Through the destruction of the ego of the pilot of Eva Unit-01 we will complement the people. The time of thrice atonement is now. - Kiel, pgs. 137-138; What on God's green psychobabble is this? Obviously, the pompous zealot thinks he knows what's best for humankind, but is atonement a substitute for impact here?

3) The fruit of knowledge possessed by humankind, and the fruit of life possessed by the Angels... Eva Unit-01 has both and now returns to the embryo of life-The Tree of Life. - Fuyutsuki, 140-142; the Eva has been transformed into a god by the power of science and everlasting life.

4) Now the cicadas sing all year, but before you were born we had other seasons. - Yui, pg. 161; Not only is this a great soundbite on how the world changed post-Impact(s), but the ミ-ン (mi-n) sounds make much more sense now.

Art appreciation! The amount of ugly cries in stage 84 is saddening. The funhouse anatomy feels like a rush job, and it left me disappointed, especially since I love Asuka, and it's the closing chapter on her chronicled fights within her Eva. Panel 15-2 looks like a joke, frankly. Shinji isn't even safe from this wild, unhinged jaw virus. See: pg. 55-1. But it's not all gloom and doom. This cover is one of my favorites. Our three main pilots, looking snappy for a photo-finish finale. And do I spy a Dragon Quest slime on 165-5?

1) As the series has progressed, and Sadamoto's style changed, I'd fallen out of love with how he draws humans. It's not bad, but I just love his earlier style. The new stuff might be a bit more "mature" looking, and it certainly suits the content, but it's not my favorite. Conversely, the as one style declines, the Eva units, masterful looking in all their technical glory, have been drawing my eyes more and more. The design of the new series of Eva's give me aquatic life / shark vibes. Just look at 29-3. There's (thankfully) many great shots of Unit-01 and Unit-02 together, like 34-3, 38-4, and the spread on pg. 49. In the background of that last example, the exposed shell of the GeoFront actually looks like the Moon. Plus the Eva series descending on our heroes looks badass. And finally, we have the 2-page spread on pgs. 58-59. Glorious.

2) Haunting stigmata visuals. (pgs. 86-87)

3) Page 135. Some Junji Ito shit right there. Love to see it.

Moment appreciation!

1) (A) Rei denying Gendo of his prize, (abusing all of his power) to be with Yui, in search of her own, to be with Shinji. In reuniting with Lilith, the creature now becomes complete. (Stage 87.) (B) ...And then Ritsuko pops Commander Ikari a little later. One-two. K.O. *Nelson laugh* (pgs. 119-122)

2) Unit-01 is transforming into a god, and Lilith, reuniting with him as an amiable Rei, touches Shinji's consciousness. "I am your heart and your wishes. What do you wish for?" (pg. 148)

3) Shinji's returning memories. He A.T. field's his classmates. He daydreams. I, too, know what the insides of those walls look like. Luckily, those walls are painted with clouds. And, among other artistic renovation, Sadamoto's clouds have gotten exponentially better. (pg. 168-170)

The Extras: Now, oddly, the printing dates and credits are in the back of the book. Mine is actually a second printing, from April '14! Must have been the first one I got at Zeus with Barry, not even a year of dating under our belts. The first printing is listed as Nov '12. And at the time, I think I was living with Ash in my old apartment in Crooked Stick! Like Sadamoto's aging from 40 to 50 within a matter of volumes, how time flies. God, I remember the struggle to exercise patience for these stages, checking scanlation sites day in and out. I was caught up though, so, I must not have felt the need to read the official licensed translation in a hurry. Plus, poor. Also, the Evangelion 3-in-1s started releasing that same month, so I think I was debating on retiring my old set for the new, larger format with the art gallery. I'm glad I didn't "upgrade" just for aesthetics. I only have the final 2-in-1, which is glorious, but I'm not sure if the previous omnibuses would have recycled the old editorials. Speaking of editorials, there are none! My guess is that there was no room for it on account of there being an extra chapter(s) this volume? There are usually 6 or 7 per book, but 9 in this one. Still, some have been only a single page's worth of content. Almost feels like something's missing. Though, I'll accommodate room for more official Stages.

Formatting, oh boy. We have some issues. Note that the 13th volume in Japan splices Asuka from the cover and applies her to the spine. Volume 2 used a different piece of art for the cover than the Japanese original, one without major (pun intended) player Misato, which meant she didn't show up on the shelf until volume twelve. Gendo replaced Yui on volume 8, which only looks weird, even though Gendo is much more prominent, because it's his younger, more unrecognizable self. Whereas Yui looks pretty much the same throughout our knowledge of her. I wouldn't have switched anything, and I don't know why they did so for the American audience. Half of the spines would have featured guys and gals equally. (Say what you want about Kaworu, but the same could be applied to Rei. Alien gaijin mofos.)

Lately, there's been a lot more text / speech bubbles going into the folds. I really have to wedge a book apart to read in the crevices. Can't be healthy for the life of it. (See some examples on pgs. 75-1, 85-1, 91-1, etc.)

Why are Calling, parts one and two, listed both as stage 84, yet Face-to-Face, parts one and two, are stages 89 and 90? It's literally a difference of a few pages between both segmented chapters. In the omnibus, these 4 split stages are collapsed into two.

The glossary explanation is suuuper short, and even though they don't need precise examples to illustrate their point on reading direction, they could have just as easily matched example SFX along with it. Given that it's so succinct it seems very rushed, considering there's only two pages' worth. And looking for examples they could have used instead of the seemingly random ones, I noticed the sounds are off by two pages! Wtf, Viz. Starting with at least sound 113-2, the numbers in the glossary are all ahead by two pages. So, 113-2 is actually 111-2.

One positive in this area: it does look like there was some unintentionally cool formatting, on pgs. 174-175, to preserve the speech balloons and artwork. I'm not normally about sideways text, but it works here and respects the original layouts.

There're no character bios? No editorials, a wonky-ass glossary. New table of contents layout. New copywrite page positions (with credits, printer's key, etc). And what's this? I'm noticing a lack of Carl Gustav Horn?! *gasp* Kinda sucks.

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun. And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: - Revelation 12:1, KJV (Thanks, Biblehub.com.)

Number one: this volume was absolute shit in comparison to its predecessors. I genuinely can not understand why there are so many good reviews. Nevertheless, the overall series is amazing so at its worse, 3 stars.

[Ryan T · Rating 5 out of 5]

A truly amazing manga.

This is the manga adaptation of the highly controversial anime series of the same name.
While I know many people that don't really the series,personally it's a personal favorite.The manga further solidified my love for the series and to be honest I actually like the manga better than the anime.

The story stays true for the most part to the source material while adding some of it's own personal touches of it's own to the plate.The pacing was done well and the manga never felt like it dragged out or rushed anything,except for maybe the battle scenes.The ending of the manga is where it truly shines,the mangas' narration of the events of End of Evangelion were brilliantly done giving Shinji the development that he needed to become the hero to save everyone and giving resolve to a series that never had a decent epilogue.

The characters stay pretty much the same,Asuka is still the hot-headed Tsundere,Rei is still stoic but is portrayed as more human than in the original and Shinji is still angsty but develops past that stage in the end.

The art is excellent.Yoshiyuki Sadamoto is a brilliant artist and his drawings are clear,consistent(for the most part) and portray emotions very well.The character designs and the Angel designs are faithful to the original.

What can I say? I love this manga.It's in my top 5 manga of all time coming short to Berserk.Sadamoto's interpretation of Eva is brilliant and I personally feel it outshines it predecessor if only by a little.

Whether you hate Eva or you love it,it's impact is questionable.I would highly recommend this manga to anyone.If you don't like it,fair enough it's your opinion.

Evangelion 13
Que? Cómo apareció Shinji peleando, si en el libro anterior termino llorando y gritando MAMA mientras veía su EVA enterrado?, que acaso me falto un tomo?, Aparte las peleas algo confusas porque su EVA también es blanco. Lo del papa de Genki y Rei, y el Adan esta todo raro, si te quedas de que ocurre? Y luego los evas regeneran, y la lanza regresa, y Rei se hace gigante, esto si ya paso de raro, aunque eso también es interesante.

[Dani Wladdimiro · Rating 5 out of 5]

Llegando al final de esta historia, empiezan haber grandes diferencias entre el anime y el manga, donde personalmente me decanto más por el manga, respecto al desenlace, y el misticismo en el anime. Uno de los grandes problemas (que a la vez generó una gran cantidad de teorías y comunidades de Evangelion) fue la falta de entendimiento de algunos personajes, tanto en sus motivaciones con lo que realmente querían hacer. Esto se puede apreciar tanto en el capítulo 25 y 26 que suceden en paralelo con la película The End of Evangelion, donde el mismo autor, Hideaki Anno, ha dicho en más de alguna vez que los autores quienes deben dar la interpretación de los hechos, más que el autor mismo. Eso es muy interesante, porque justamente la gran comunidad que se ha generado en torno a Evangelion, fue en base a la teorización y comprensión de su mitología, pero no quita que el manga me gusta como maneja esto de otra forma, preocupándose de darle un cierre más lógico a los personajes, dejando de lado un poco la trama principal.
Es así como tenemos a Asuka, donde tanto en el anime como el manga debe pelear contra los EVA series, los cuales son piloteados con el Dummy System (basados en Kaworu), y si bien ella está dando lo mejor de sí, pero no es suficiente. En la película no lo es, termina siendo una situación trágica, con una muerte horrible, chocante, dándose a entender que todo es desesperanza, pero eso es lo que traba de decir Hideaki, porque Yoshiyuki cambia ese enfoque, y trata de darnos un fanservice bien realizado, porque todas y todos queríamos ver como Asuka es salvada por Shinji, y vaya que es emocionante. En ese sentido, está muy bien estructurado el manga, porque el anterior volumen, habiendo visto el anime, sabes lo que va ocurrir, y cada capítulo es un suspenso, porque vienen varios eventos potentes, pero que acá cambian. Porque en el momento que uno sabe que Asuka debería morir, llega el protagonista, llega él, esta ahí el tercer niño para quedar como un héroe, con una emoción que no puede ocultar Asuka, y con la frase de él diciéndole: “Fue la promesa que le hice a Misato”. Y bueno, justamente eso es lo que queríamos, la evolución del personaje, donde ese beso tuviera sentido, donde la mano del Eva protegiendo a su hijo tenga frutos, donde Shinji ha despertado. Es un gusto personal, pero esos planos de ambos son tremendos, cada vez que vuelvo a leer esa parte me llena de emoción.
Mientras tanto, en paralelo tenemos el inicio del Proyecto de Complementación Humana, donde Adam debe entrar en contacto con Rei, que tiene el alma de Lilith, pero antes que ocurra eso, se resuelve un pequeño misterio entre Gendo y Ritsuko: “las palabras de Gendo antes que él le dispare”. No quiero criticar al anime, entiendo que hizo eso porque trata de generar un rompecabeza y el espectador debe empezar poco a poco a poner las piezas hasta encontrar la imagen completa, pero acá me gusta como lo realiza: “Te amaba”, eso dijo, sin titubeos, y ya está. Y bueno, ya lo había comentado anteriormente, pero antes que Ritsuko reciba el disparo, trato de destruir todo el Geofront, lo cual no pudo, porque su madre la traiciona, prefiere al hombre que a su hija. Entonces cerramos la historia de estos dos, que parte con la madre de Ritsuko, llena de amor y odio, porque luego que Rei rechaza a Gendo y se queda con el embrión de Adam, la doctora se encarga de dispararle a Gendo.
Veremos como Shinji enfrenta a Rei, siendo la persona encargada de llevar la complementación humana, debido que Rei decide que sea Shinji quien haga el contacto con ella y nadie más.

[Michael Sorbello · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a review of the entire series!

After the disastrous results of a cataclysmic event known as the Second Impact, an alien species known only as Angels terrorizes the last remnants of humanity. Young children are raised in military schools and trained to combat these godlike entities by piloting giant biomechanical mechas into battle. The story revolves around the personal struggles of the members of NERV, the shady organization responsible for the creation of these mechas; most notably the cold and calculated leader Gendo Ikari and his chronically depressed son Shinji.

The surface level story of Evangelion is deceptively simple. It appears to be a straightforward apocalypse story about the last survivors of humanity fighting back against an alien race that nearly drove them to extinction, but there’s a lot of depth in the background of the plot. There’s more to the Angels than meets the eye. NERV has a disturbing number of skeletons in its closet. And the few survivors in charge of fighting against the aliens have an abundance of mental scars in desperate need of being healed lest they destroy themselves before the Angels can get to them.

I love the subtle depth of the characters. Shinji appears to be a cold and distant boy with odd tendencies that are almost sociopathic in nature, but he turns out to be an extremely sensitive and anxiety-ridden teen who suffers from a lack of parental guidance and affection. He’s not always likable, but he’s uncomfortably relatable. Asuka appears to be a bratty and spunky girl with all the confidence in the world, but she suffers from a self-destructive inferiority complex caused by past tragedies that causes her to act out in front of adults to make herself appear more mature than she really is while struggling with emotional breakdowns in her private time.

Every character has a facade they put on in front of their peers, only for it to be revealed that they’re hiding a brutal amount of unhealed trauma and emotional baggage that usually causes more damage than the main threat of the story. In fact, the main story is just a part of the background. What makes Evangelion a masterpiece in my eyes is how horrifyingly human the characters are, how painful their struggles are and how disastrous their bad choices end up being.

A very bleak, depressing and terrifying series that tackles nihilistic philosophy and twisted religious allegories in abundance, but there are faint glimmers of hope and lessons to be learned from the catastrophic mistakes made by the mentally and emotionally broken cast.

I enjoyed reading this much more as an adult than I did as a teen!

[Siew Hok Rui Ray · Rating 5 out of 5]

This masterpiece has taken a special spot in my heart. After watching the anime, I thought how about read the novel. So I did it. Since it was soo good that it left an impact on me. I decided to go on and research about Evangelion. This leads me to discover the depressing things author Hideaki Anno had to go through. He mentioned in an interview that Evangelion is a way of expression Hideaki Anno was using to burn down his feelings of depression. I wouldn't say that Shinji Ikari is my favorite protagonist, but I can't help it but feel relatable to him. During this novel as well as the anime it almost feels like I am Shinji, I felt like I was betrayed. My feelings were betrayed. Shinji will always be the most unique protagonist I will ever see, because the protagonist is not the ideal version of himself, as if Evangelion is telling me that Shinji is the person you would never want to be. This is my review of Evangelion as a whole.

[Damián Lima · Rating 5 out of 5]

Con algunas pocas variaciones y episodios alternativos, es prácticamente una copia fiel ilustrada de la parte central de la película The end of Evangelion. Sigue la lucha contra los Evas producidos en masa, solamente que aquí no destrozan a Asuka, sino que Shinji se mete a tiempo en la batalla y la salva de la muerte. Justo entonces, la Lanza de Longinus regresa de su órbita alrededor de la Luna, se une al Eva 01 y comienza la transformación, a la vez que Rei traiciona a Gendo y se funde con Lilith, dando comienzo a lo que parecería ser el Tercer Impacto. Aparece todo lo que ya hemos visto: los estigmas, los Evas resonando, el Árbol de la Vida, la Luna Negra y la Rei gigante que atraviesa a todo el mundo y diluye los cuerpos de las personas, liberando y fusionando sus almas. Hacia el final, el último Stage del volumen, presenciamos un recuerdo íntimo de Shinji sobre su madre, una parte que solo podemos disfrutar en el manga.

¡Penúltimo tomo! Este tomo es muy atrapante y sumado a que hay pocos diálogos, creo que lo debo haber leído en 15 minutos. Mientras Shinji se decide a hacer algo o no, Seele continúa con su ataque a Nerv. Asuka se enfrenta a los Evas de producción en masa y la situación se pone cada vez peor (fin del mundo incluído). Sadamoto conservó las partes de The End of Evangelion que me gustaban y cambio algunas de las que no, asi que me quedo bastante contento.

Zum ersten Mal gelesen!
Boah. Es wird richtig weird.
Teilweise ist das gut, Teilweise weiß ich nicht, wer jetzt eigentlich noch was genau will und warum.
Confusion.
Vorallem Ikari. Seine Story scheint zu einem Ende gelangt zu sein, aber.... welches denn genau?
Ist er einfach nur ein Verrückter der eine Gottgleiche Macht anstrebt?
Warum hat sich eine intelligente Frau wie Yui mit ihm abgegeben? Leuchtet mir immer noch nicht ein.

The good:
-The psychology aspects of this plot gets enhanced.
-Great battle scenes.
-What the hell is happening?
-The summer of memories is an amazing and emotional chapter. One of my favourites in the whole saga.

The bad:
-Everything is very confusing. and I know there won't be any more answers.
