There was speculation as to the identity of "Ichi".
Has it already been discounted that its actually Unit 01?
Has to be Unit 01. Clues:
1. The Evas are sapient.
2. Ichi has been Shinji's earliest pen-pal. Set-up with the connivance of Yui. Lost contact when he moved. Regained immediately with Yui's approval
when he returned.
My first thought that Ichi was either the first child (Rei) or possibly Asuka. Asuka was crossed out because the times when Ichi and Shinji were communicating
Asuka wasn't near a keyboard and the Ikari's wouldn't be allowing a possible threat to their son to be in contact with him. I wouldn't put it
past Yui to set-up a bond of friendship between Unit 01 and Shinji. Weird as that makes sound, it does make sense. Unit 01 lives vicariously thru Shinji. Unit
01 is a part of Shinji's life and does the world.

So, just read through all of this today at work.
And yeah. Crack. CreepyGenkiRei is CREEPY.
Worse, I was listening to some Sakura Taisen music on the way home, and in one of the more upbeat and peppy tunes (Kamona Asakusa), I kept imaginine ND!Rei in
Sakura's place...

Things that happened in chapter 17

-Rei learns that she can do nothing agaist Adam... his background music is too powerful for her.
-Then Adam utterly fails to steal Rei's internets.
-Misato channels Batman... thus proving that Adam has a deep seeded fear of making second impressions.
-Yui validates her degree in Red Magity.
-Shinji manages to get stuck in his own inventory.
...and Uri has a hard time finding the continue button for player 2... thus almost accomplishes something.

“Terrifying Rei is terrifying?”

He broke Rei in the chapter before.
Quote:No response from Unit 00. He narrows his eyes, mentally clicking the command to raise the orange Eva but finding only static and…what is that sound, he asks himself. Is that…crying?
Quote:He hears Rei crying over the intercom, saying she musn’t run away.
Pronounced "shy guy."
Rei fought like Batman versus mooks... they actually complained about it... invoking his name directly. Asuska is going to solve a crazy hard problem by
taking small bits of evidence and solving unsolvable things... like the detective. For me to have my Batman trifecta... I need for that to be Misato
channelling Batman's name intimidation... considering Adam panicked upon noticing her and hearing her intro speech... totally Batman. Also, telling the
Angel of Light the equivalent of 'I am vengeance. I am the night. I. Am. Batman!' amuses me to no end.

The thing is, Necratoid, is that the line was more directly a descendant of this one, from Babylon 5: Quote:"Who am I? I am Susan Ivanova, Commander. Daughter of Andre and Sophie Ivanov. I am the Right Hand of Vengeance and the boot that is going to kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart. I am Death Incarnate, and the last living thing that you are ever going to see. God sent me."

Ivanova is a Blues Brother?

Quote:“It’s Friday,” she says, “So that means it’s Classic Rock day.”
Music begins pouring through, a light, bouncy tune. Uriel perks his ear as he hears something grinding.

AAHAHAHAAAAAAAA
Yes, I'm playing ketchup, but this is still an awesome bit - also echoes my favorite bit ever from any of the Ghostbusters canon.
"No can brain today. Want cheezeburger."

First off, I said she CHANNELS Batman... not she was Batman. Sure, though its been long enough that I only kinda remember B5 (thus it is time to rewatch it
this year), I can tell when a name suddenly is mention that its a quote/reference. Thing is I don't like to state the most obvious thing. This comes, in
large part, from being in far too many classes that involved paying someone to read a script while we all stared at a wall and are told we are learning. The
second, third, or eighth most obvious answer causes people to actually have to participate actively. One of my favorite moments in schooling was the time I
half finished an answer then told some random in a hat to finish it. He was so confused and the teacher made him finish answering... the hat guy even tried to
talk his way out of answering it. The look on the guy's face was comedy gold.
I've already explained why I think the Batman thing is better than a generic paraphrased quote, particularly the 'night' vs. 'light' bit.
If the weapon Misato used was semi rapid fire she would have used a line from the princess bride. Repeatedly. I realize this may be a post blindness or
skimming issue, for you guys... but I actually do bother to think these things out enough to insert attention span traps.
On to new business. I'm really wondering if you asked an Angel was this divinity it was after actually involved, would they have a clue?

Ooookay.... is it just me, or was the use of "RAMP!" in this chapter a deliberate shout-out (if not expy of) the use of "SQUIRREL!" in the
Pixar movie "Up!"?
And "Detour!"
But thankfully not "Pedestrian!"
"COFFEE!", on the other hand.....
Ree? Uh.....
"They're... big?" Total breakage here. Although just what "Rei" was up to....
"Clever girl"... brrrrrr.
...wow, Ritz kicked ass. Or at least survived the ambush, which under the circumstances qualifies her for "Badass Normal" status.
"Are you all right?"
"I believe so. Confused, but I believe so." Okay, breakage AGAIN....
Turnips? Poor Ken....
"Group activity." And that entire conversation. I swear, this fic may threaten to challenge "Shinji and WH40K" for the Most Cracktastic
title....
"Drink your God Damned Beer." I really can't add anything to this. I really, really can't.
"One million helicopters and one dollar" has already been mentioned, but dangit, it's too darn awesome not to mention again!
The... other... demands. ...oy....
"I have a plan." Oh, so that's what the beer was for. And... am I the only one who finds
Planning!Misato both very arousing, and very frightening, at the same time?
Aaaand, Goldfinger riff. Of course.
"Hey, KOOL-AID!" I didn't even read the next part, I was laughing so hard.
Oh, YEAH.
Gendo Tunnel for the win! Although... was Kozou blaming him, or Yui?
And then the end... yow. Talk about mood whiplash. That... can't be good.
And of course, the entire Ichi scene, which almost got lost in the noise. That's going to crop back up again. And, um... why would the chibi-Rei have
claws?
Obviously to keep it from stealing pens.

chapter 20 just hit.
This is Good Fic. The language can be a bit awkward, but the characterization is tight and funny.
Also, I'm loving Broken!Kensuke a lot, he's silly.

Chapter 20 confirms a rather worrisome alliance on Tabris' part. While we saw Zeruel at the end of 18, the end of 19 suggested the intervention of Leilel, and 20 confirms that Tabris has Kei. Which puts those three Angels all alligned with SEELE for the time being.
This is doubleplusungood.
