The Code 999 sequence is full of weird allusions positioning Asuka and Eva-02 as Lilith figures. First the sealing pillar is ejected from Asuka's eye in imitation of Eva-01 bursting from Lilith's, and Asuka leans sharply backward like Lilith did. (1/5)

Eva-13 begins bound to a red crucifix in a chamber full of amber-colored LCL. Then, with the three cuts of it rising, the sense of deja vu really starts working overtime. In what sense is Eva-13 comparable to EoE's Lilith...? #evangelion #visualparallels
I'm not sure how serious I am with this one, but it's kind of funny, if nothing else. #evangelion #visualparallels
Asuka latching onto Eva-01's "coffin" (Q) vs. giant Rei emerging from her own AATF (EoE0.
With both of these having an upside-down orientation and an "Earth seen from space" backdrop, it lands on the side of "intentional" for me. Getting actual meaning out of the comparison is a whole other thing, though...

The movement of the 3DCG model for Eva-02 is of course nowhere near as dynamic as the hand(-drawn) animation for Lilith, but do note the similar pose, and how the tip of Eva-02's ring finger cheekily "touches" Maya's head.

First up -- Eva-02 "is" Lilith! (See follow-up post if you don't believe me.) Interesting contrast here is that GNR ascended from below, whereas Eva-02 is being lowered down. The orientation of the hands reflects this difference in directionality.

The image is a composite of "The Fool" tarot card and the movie poster for "Yes Man," highlighting their structural similarities. The background of the image is predominantly light blue at the top, transitioning to green and brown toward the bottom, mimicking the natural setting often depicted in tarot cards. At the very bottom of the frame, a rectangular section outlined in red reads "THE FOOL" in bold, capitalized letters, followed by a period. Above this, the artwork begins to blend the imagery of the tarot card and the movie poster. The central figure is Jim Carrey from the "Yes Man" poster, arms outstretched in a joyful, carefree pose, superimposed onto the landscape of The Fool card. He is wearing a tan jacket, a blue patterned shirt, and dark shorts. Above and behind Jim Carrey, the title "YES MAN" is displayed in large, sans-serif, light-blue letters. To the left, a stylized sun with a smiling face radiates light. Faintly visible below the figure and in the lower-third of the image is a line of text that reads, "ONE WORD CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING", a tagline from the movie. Below that is the date "12.19.08". The landscape beneath his feet is a whimsical illustration featuring rolling hills, small trees, and what appears to be a small dog or animal figure, characteristic of the traditional Fool card. The overall impression is a side-by-side comparison, or rather a layering, to emphasize the thematic link between embracing spontaneity (as in "Yes Man") and the concept of embarking on a new, uncertain journey (as symbolized by The Fool in tarot). The color palette is bright and cheerful, with blues, greens, and yellows dominating the scene, creating a lighthearted and optimistic mood. The framing of the shot keeps the emphasis squarely on the fusion of these two artist
