Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance
A visceral mecha-opera where high-octane spectacle collides with fragile adolescent hearts. Vibrant rays of hope pierce through a crimson apocalypse, painting a cinematic portrait of a boy choosing connection over a world of safe isolation.

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Track 27 on the SDAT

A meta-reference to the fact that the original TV series had 26 episodes. Track 27 signifies that the story is now going beyond the original ending.

The Four Crosses of Light

During the flashback to the Second Impact, four white crosses are seen, referencing the four 'Adams' that exist in the Rebuild continuity, as opposed to the single Adam in the original series.

Red Ocean Water

The red ocean is an visual callback to The End of Evangelion, suggesting that the Rebuild world may be a literal sequel or a world reborn from the previous apocalypse.
