1. Instrumentality: meaning and interpretations.

In short, Instrumentality is the name given to the artificially forced next step in human evolution; if that necessarily implies the extinction of humanity (Lilin) as we know it in any or every version is unclear. A Third Impact is not strictly necessary for Instrumentality to be achieved, even if it is almost inevitably caused by most versions. There are multiple interpretations and objectives depending on who are we talking about, the main ones being:

1.1. SEELE:

To SEELE, Instrumentality consists on casting an Anti-AT Field strong enough to open its members’ AT Fields, allowing them, as a whole, to fuse and become one with a godlike being*.
It is safe to assume what we saw on The End of Evangelion was no more than good enough for them or even an emergency measure, not what they actually intended to achieve; we cannot even trust them being fully aware of either what was happening or what they actually wanted.

1.2. Gendo & Fuyutsuki:

To Gendo Ikari and Kozo Fuyutsuki, Instrumentality consists of annexing Gendo to whatever they thought Yui’s plan was, again by opening at the very least Gendo’s AT Field and allowing him to join Yui inside of Evangelion Unit-01. For Gendo, it’s all about reuniting with Yui, whereas for Fuyutsuki it all comes down to achieving what he thought Yui ultimately wanted.
Once again, we have enough evidence to assume they weren’t fully aware of what Yui actually wanted or how they would achieve their goal, plus it is slightly implied Yui herself had nothing to do with the inception of their plan after all, even if they both (or at least Fuyutsuki) thought she had.

1.3. Shinji:

To Shinji Ikari, Instrumentality consists on casting an Anti-AT Field strong enough so every human being gets their AT Field opened for them to then fuse together as a single individual in the LCL sea, thus ending all pain caused by interacting with other people.
We can assume this is close enough to what SEELE wanted to achieve for them to ultimately accept it during the events of The End of Evangelion, even if it remains pretty clear Shinji’s take was far more democratized than SEELE’s.

1.4. Yui:

To Yui Ikari, Instrumentality consists on embedding herself inside a godlike being* then being sent to space as a way to somehow let the First Ancestral Race eventually know how far the Lilin had come.
This is by far the most important interpretation, as we can be quite sure she not only understood what she was going after, but in the end she actually achieved it, thus making this the one interpretation that eventually came true.

1.5. Additional - Adam’s offspring:

While not Instrumentality itself, Adam’s offspring (mistakenly referred to as Angels*) was after their own version of a next evolutionary step, that being recovering their rightful rule over the Earth, and with that, the extinction of the Lilin.
Once seen the events of The End of Evangelion, in addition to how Tabris (Kaworu Nagisa) reacts upon discovering what was actually held inside Dogma Terminal, it is safe to assume the Angels had been misled by either SEELE, NERV or both, as nothing would have happened had an Angel ever made contact with Lilith’s body; this is because of it being empty, its soul held in Rei Ayanami.

2. *Godlike Beings: what are they, why they matter.

A godlike being is defined by possessing both gifts of the First Ancestral Race at once, those being Adam’s Fruit of Life and Lilith’s Fruit of Knowledge, them being responsible for the two most basic survival abilities a living being could have:

2.1. Adam’s Fruit of Life:

This is the ability to adapt oneself to the world around. This is why the Angels (Adam’s offspring) are always showing in progressively more effective shapes, first trying to brute-force their way into Dogma Terminal, then trying more deceptive ways to access it, be that taking over the pilots’ minds or even posing as a pilot itself.

2.2. Lilith’s Fruit of Knowledge:

This is the ability to adapt the world around to oneself. This is why the Lilin (humans) can design and build tools to ease and improve their way of solving problems, one of them being the very construction of the Evangelion Units. It is seen as less natural and more destructive than the Fruit of Life, that way thematically adding to the overall invasive nature of Lilith and its offspring.
To fully become a god, immortality is also needed, thus there may not be any active Holy Lances (Spear of Longinus, Cassius, etc) that could render the subject inert. Even knowing they may not be immortal after all, it is easy to see the First Ancestral Race as gods themselves, as we don't quite know what happened to them, nor its scope and scale (or if it happened at all). We could also consider them extending their legacy through the Seeds of Life as a form of immortality.

3. *Angels: more than just Adam’s offspring.

An Angel is a living being meant to rule the planet it lives in. They can either be a Seed of Life (Adam, Lilith) or their offspring, not just Adam’s. This is why Misato Katsuragi refers to humanity as the 18th Angel (Adam plus its fifteen children, Lilith plus its one child). Angel can also be described as the artificial progeny of the First Ancestral Race, designed to extend their rule over the Universe.

4. Impacts: when the one thing never meant to happen, does.

An Impact can be understood as a potential god-creating event, that is, a contact between that who has the gift of life and that who has the gift of knowledge. Not every contact works, though, and the exact conditions for an Impact to happen have never been stated.
What is considered a contact remains unclear; Gendo embedding Adam’s embryo in his hand clearly doesn’t, but that could be explained by it being, just like Lilith's corpse, empty, its soul being held in Kaworu Nagisa (Tabris); while the pilots entering the Adam-based Evangelion Units via their Entry Plug doesn't either. These two cases seem to point out to the same requirement: an Adam-based body with an Adam-based soul plus a Lilith-based body with a Lilith-based soul are needed for an Impact to happen.
On the other hand, none of both experiments involving the embedding of a human soul inside of an Evangelion Unit, those being the one between Yui Ikari and the Lilith-based Unit-01, and the one between Kyoko Soryu and the Adam-based Unit-02 resulted in an Impact, thus showing that, even though officially referred to as “contact experiments”, they did not count either. Once again, these two cases seem to point to another requirement for an Impact to happen: at least one of the two parts involved mandatorily has to be an original Seed of Life, that being either Adam or Lilith.
To better understand the causes and true nature of Impacts, the three we know about will be now described (the ones exclusive to the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy, those being Near Third Impact, Rebuild Third Impact, Fourth Impact and Additional Impact, while treated, will be less relied on because of the seemingly less coherent mechanics involved and their apparent propensity to be more generous in their use of the term. Even then, we can still assume some if not most of the same rules apply):

4.1. First Impact - Circa 4B years BC:

The First Impact was caused by the Seed of Life Lilith mistakenly arriving on Earth inside the Black Moon (later repurposed as NERV's GeoFront). Its crash on Japan's surface, where Tokyo-3 now stands, reportedly caused the stray debris released during the event to coalesce and reorganize in what we now know as the Moon.
It is considered a potential god-creating event because of the rugged nature of Lilith's arrival that caused her to land on an already Adam-assigned planet, each of them having half the requirements for a god to be created. Foreseeing this could happen, the First Ancestral Race equipped every Seed of Life with a Holy Lance meant to rend its owner inert in case it landed on an already inhabited planet, so to avoid any conflict between Adam and Lilith, but Lilith's crash on Earth left her Spear of Longinus unusable, thus causing Adam's to turn against him instead.
This First Impact resulted in Lilith's natural progeny, the Lilin (humans), taking over the Earth instead of Adam's (the Angels).

4.2. Second Impact - September 13th, 2000 AD:

The Second Impact was reportedly caused by one of the attempts made at the Katsuragi Expedition to make contact between Adam and a human, plus it is thought this contact experiment was in fact the one involving Adam's soul embedding inside the Lilith-based vessel Kaworu Nagisa. This is because of Kaworu's birthdate being September 13th, 2000, among other evidence. This event also resulted in Adam's body becoming empty and returning to an embryo state.
Nonetheless, at first glance it seems like this shouldn't have resulted in an Impact; considering Kaworu was actually an empty vessel, no Lilith-based soul would have participated in the contact experiment, so there was no danger at all of it becoming a god-creating event. This can either be explained by assuming it was Adam's awakening upon removing its Spear of Longinus what really caused the Impact (though as pointed by Adam having an Evangelion retention armor in the Katsuragi Expedition flashbacks this seems quite unlikely), or by the blood interpretation*, which will be elaborated on later.
The Second Impact resulted in Adam's body being sent back to an embryo state, its soul ripped from it, and its Spear of Longinus used to put Lilith to sleep. Additionally, it caused a cataclysmic event responsible for killing billions of people in the following years, in what was publicly referred to as the crash of a huge meteorite on Antarctica’s surface.

4.3. Third Impact - January 1st, 2016 AD:

The Third Impact was caused by the two Seeds of Life sent by the First Ancestral Race, those being Adam and Lilith, becoming one in what could be described as a true god, and giving Shinji Ikari the choice to decide the fate of humanity. Not only is this the most revealing Impact in that we actually get to see how it unfolds before our eyes during the events of The End of Evangelion, but we could also refer to it as the true Impact that ultimately ended up creating a god, even if a volatile one due to Shinji’s ultimate choice.
First of all, it is necessary to clarify where each piece was located and how they came together to cause the Impact to happen, those being Lilith’s body, crucified in Dogma Terminal, Adam’s body, as an embryo embedded in Gendo’s hand, Lilith’s soul, inside the Yui-cloned human vessel Rei Ayanami III, and the usually forgotten Adam’s soul, floating on the LCL Primordial Soup, in Dogma Terminal. As for how can we be certain of Adam’s soul location, it is both visually and thematically stated that once Kaworu, house of Adam’s soul, got killed by Shinji inside Dogma Terminal, its “essence” fell into the LCL Primordial Soup, that way being available for the Adam-Lilith contact to happen. As for how is this possible, it will be explained by the blood interpretation. If SEELE, NERV or even Tabris (Kaworu) knew about this is uncertain, as we are not even sure if they knew the exact conditions under which an Impact takes place.
With that explanation out of the way, it is now time to order and piece together how everything came into place for the actual Impact to happen, the vital points being:

• First, Rei III steals Adam’s embryo from Gendo’s hand, placing it into her womb. Lilith’s soul and Adam’s body are now ready.
• Second, Rei III is swallowed by Lilith’s corpse. Lilith’s body, Lilith’s soul and Adam’s body are now ready.
• Third, Lilith’s corpse frees itself from the cross it was nailed to, falling into the LCL Primordial Soup where Adam’s soul was already floating. Lilith’s body, Lilith’s soul, Adam’s body and Adam’s soul are now ready.
• All pieces together, the resulting Rei-like amalgamation is now a god, and will proceed to offer Shinji a wish for the fate of humanity.

It is then hard to understand what the Mass Production Evangelion and Evangelion Unit-01 had to do with the play taking place, but it all makes sense when we consider it SEELE’s last naive attempt at initiating Instrumentality on their own terms. What is seen on screen during The End of Evangelion is the Sephirot, an inverted Tree of Life or Kabbalah formed by the Mass Production Evangelion putting their AT Fields in phase around the crucified Evangelion Unit-01. This process, while bizarre and terrifying at a cosmic level, does not seem to be able to open the Gates of Guf as SEELE intended until the Rei-like god is formed inside Dogma Terminal, so we cannot guarantee it would have worked to any degree.
The Third Impact resulted in all Lilin (human beings) abandoning their AT-cased forms and reuniting as a single living being inside the Gates of Guf, returning, as the song KOMM, SÜSSER TOD states, to the nothing they once came from. If this affects just those who were currently alive or every single human being in mankind’s history is unclear, although Rei’s apparition to both Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi during their final moments seems to suggest their souls got collected too, thus pointing to at least the recently deceased taking part in Instrumentality. Although this result was decided by Shinji Ikari once the Rei-like god gave the choice to him, it was his very decision what ultimately allowed any person capable of visualizing themselves as they truly are to return from Instrumentality. We can only confirm Shinji Ikari and Asuka Langley Soryu coming back, though it is implied anyone could have returned.

4.4. Additional - Near Third Impact - Circa 2018 AD:

Near Third Impact was caused by Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami fusing together inside the awakened and Zeruel’s core holder Evangelion Unit-01. This contact involves every agent required for a god to be created, them being Lilith’s body (Evangelion Unit-01 being a Lilith direct clone or substitute), Lilith’s soul (inside Rei Ayanami), Adam’s body (Zeruel) and Adam’s soul (Zeruel’s core eaten by Evangelion Unit-01). It is worth highlighting Rei’s soul is depicted as a crimson figure once she is plucked out of Zeruel’s body, this detail will be important upon explaining the blood interpretation. Near Third Impact was ultimately canceled by Kaworu Nagisa impaling Evangelion Unit-01 with the Spear of Cassius on board of Evangelion Mark.06.

4.5. Additional - Rebuild Third Impact - Circa 2018 AD:

Little is known about the Third Impact as depicted in the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy, aside from it being a calamitous event on par with the Second Impact, ending most human life on Earth. It seems to have been caused by an attempt made by Evangelion Mark.06 of fusing with Lilith’s corpse, while Near Third Impact seems to have been the ultimate trigger for it to happen. How far this attempt went is unclear, though it is known it resulted in some human souls being collected by the Gates of Guf inside the Evangelion-like red amalgamations known as Failures of Infinity, that wander the surface of Earth waiting for Instrumentality to be fully initiated. As part of the process, Evangelion Mark.06 placed itself inside Lilith’s corpse through the gap left by her decapitated head. It is known to have been stopped by Ryoji Kaji’s sacrifice, although how is left unknown.

4.6. Additional - Fourth Impact - Circa 2032 AD:

The Fourth Impact could be described as the continuation of the halted Third Impact, resumed 14 years after it started. It is initiated by Evangelion 13, Kaworu Nagisa and Shinji Ikari aboard, removing the two Spears of Longinus from the dormant being born at the Lilith-Evangelion Mark.06 fusion. Beheaded the Evangelion Mark.06, the unnamed Twelfth Angel is freed, then absorbed by Evangelion 13. It is important to note that Evangelion 13 seems to be to all effects an Evangelion Unit-01 substitute, by extension a Lilith substitute. Once the Impact has begun, the Gates of Guf reopened and the Golgotha Object coming from inside them to allow Instrumentality to happen, Kaworu impales the Evangelion 13 with both Spears of Longinus in an attempt to stop the Impact, though it is implied the Impact goes on until both pilots (Kaworu by dying and Shinji by getting ejected) leave the Evangelion 13 empty and uncommanded.
The Fourth Impact is resumed when the Black Moon is turned into spears, plunged into the epicenter of the Second Impact to reopen the Gates of Guf and let the Golgotha Object reach the Earth, thus initiating Instrumentality. As it is notable, the mechanics involved seem to be less clear and cohesive with each passing after-Impact, though the same idea of Lilith and Adam merging and a god being created is to an extent still respected. This could be explained by them being, as previously stated, after-Impacts, that meaning they are not Impacts themselves, but the continuation of the same Third Impact that was stopped and resumed multiple times during the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy. It is also worth noting there is not a concrete answer to where Adam’s original body is, nor if it was returned to an embryo state at all during the Second Impact, as it happened in Neon Genesis Evangelion; in fact, his role in the plot seems to have been substituted, at least to some extent, by Nebuchadnezzar’s Key.

4.7. Additional - Additional Impact - Circa 2032 AD:

The Additional Impact is the culmination of Gendo Ikari’s plan to take control over Instrumentality and reunite with his wife, Yui Ayanami. Gendo merges with the now reawakened Evangelion 13 and fights Shinji inside the Minus Space or Anti-Universe, beyond the Gates of Guf. There, the Evangelion Imaginary is revealed and used by Gendo as a catalyst to resume Instrumentality on his own terms, taking it back to Earth through the Gates of Guf as a Lilith substitute to hold the power of a god and recollect the souls of all humans. Misato Katsuragi’s sacrifice by impaling the AAA Wunder, holder of the man-made Spear of Gaius, into the Gates of Guf, allows Shinji to put an end to the Additional Impact and reverse the effects of every previous Impact in what is known as Neon Genesis, a rebuilding event of the world, now free of Evangelion.

5. *Blood Interpretation: an Evangelion Theory of Everything.

In Evangelion, living beings are made of flesh and blood, where flesh is body and blood its link with the soul. This is the main idea on which the blood interpretation, and by extension most of this analysis, stands, as it serves as a foundation for understanding the deeper mechanics and symbolism within the series.

5.1. LCL - The Blood of Lilith:

LCL is the translucent liquid that emanates from Lilith’s body in Dogma Terminal. It constitutes the Primordial Soup and is left by the Lilin (humans) as their souls are collected by the Gates of Guf. This is because LCL is a medium capable of carrying a Lilith-based soul, but it is devoid of one itself. It is assumed its amber color is the result of it being emptied of an actual soul, as the soul tints the liquid crimson.

5.2. Blood Types - Misconceptions about Color:

Adam’s progeny can be told apart from Lilith’s progeny by the color of their blood, thus why the color-coded Blood Types are used at NERV to define what is and isn’t an enemy.

• Blood Type Blue:

This is the color associated with Adam’s progeny (the Angels). They are not usually seen bleeding in the original Neon Genesis Evangelion, but the two times we actually get to see it happening the idea that blood is tinted by the soul gains strength, as the Third Angel Sachiel, host of an Adam-based soul, is seen bleeding a blue liquid when ripped apart, while the Evangelion Unit-02, devoid of an Adam-based soul, bleeds a dull toned purple fluid upon dying.

• Blood Type Orange:

This is the color associated with a being that is almost human, with the clearest example being Armisael’s Blood Type switching to Orange as it was trying to mimic the Evangelion pilots. This could point out to Lilin’s true Blood Type being some kind of red, supported by LCL being orange plus the idea that blood is tinted by the soul (Rei’s soul being depicted as a crimson figure after getting plucked out of Zeruel’s body points in this direction too), this being only loosely contradicted by the next Blood Type.

• Blood Type Red:

This is the color associated with a god, a being with both gifts of the First Ancestral Race at once. It is mentioned as the Evangelion Unit-01, Shinji Ikari aboard, is given the choice to decide the fate of humanity. This seems to contradict red being the true color of Lilin’s blood, but it most likely is either a mistake in nomenclature by the, remember, non-omniscient people at NERV or maybe a hint that Lilin are or could be more than just the complementary other half of Adam’s progeny.

5.3. Understanding Contacts:

Thinking of blood as the link between body and soul, or at the very least the physical manifestation of the soul in the tangible world, contacts can now be understood as the ultimate fusion of different Blood Types that manage to trespass the limitations imposed by the AT Fields. The success or failure of an Impact then hinges on the proper alignment and fusion of these Blood Types, explaining why certain conditions must be met for the event to occur.
The blood interpretation offers a cohesive understanding of Evangelion's metaphysical landscape, providing insight into the complex interactions between souls, bodies, and the overarching mechanics of Impacts. By recognizing blood as the carrier of the soul and flesh as its physical case, a general idea or “theory of everything” about the inner workings of the essential mechanics taking place at key moments of the plot can be established, while enhancing the current understanding of the profound symbolism and thematic depth of the series.

6. Additional - Evangelion’s true meaning: the Love Theory.

The following paragraphs mark a tonal shift from the more lore-centered analysis I’ve been doing up until now, focusing instead on the thematic and emotional core of Evangelion. While many viewers have half-jokingly suggested over the years that Evangelion is ultimately about love, my interpretation explores how this statement actually holds deeper truth than it seems at first glance. Each main character in the series can be seen as the representation of a different way of loving, and how Shinji’s relationship with them embodies the various ways a person can experience love:

6.1. Love towards a Father - Gendo Ikari:

Gendo embodies the complex and often painful love towards a father. Shinji’s relationship with Gendo is characterized by a longing for approval and connection, mixed with resentment and fear. Gendo's cold and distant nature highlights the struggle many people face in seeking validation from a paternal figure who ultimately is emotionally unavailable. This dynamic is marked by a deep-seated need for acceptance and the pain of rejection, not only on Shinji’s behalf but also Gendo’s. This relationship is eventually broken when Gendo uses the Dummy Plug to force Evangelion Unit-01 to murder Bardiel, Tōji Suzuhara still aboard.

6.2. Love towards a Mother - Misato Katsuragi:

Misato embodies the nurturing yet complicated love towards a mother. She provides Shinji with care and support, but her own flaws and the traumas from her past make her guidance imperfect. Misato's role in Shinji’s life should underscore the protective and caring aspects of maternal love, while it ultimately ends up becoming this polymorphic relationship where Misato never ends up being able to grant him affection the right way. This relationship is eventually broken when Misato crosses the line and makes slight but painful sexual advancements towards Shinji.

6.3. Love towards a Sibling - Rei Ayanami:

Rei embodies the blind yet difficult to understand love towards a sibling. It is characterized by the unique bond formed through shared experiences, the subtle rivalry to attain validation and acceptance from their parental figure, Gendo, and their unspoken mutual understanding even when the dynamics taking place seem rather confusing to both them and the external observer. It is worth noting that, as a clone to Shinji’s mother, Yui Ikari, Rei was also his biological sister, at least in a way. This relationship is eventually broken when Rei II, the one Shinji got to know, dies at the hands of Armisael.

6.4. Love towards a Romantic Partner - Asuka Langley Soryu:

Asuka embodies the intense and often tumultuous love towards a romantic partner. Her fiery personality and competitive nature contrast sharply with Shinji’s introversion, creating a dynamic filled with tension, attraction, and misunderstanding. Their relationship highlights the passionate and sometimes destructive aspects of romantic love, emphasizing their feelings of vulnerability, jealousy, and mutual dependence. This relationship is eventually broken when Shinji becomes unable to control his impulses upon Asuka’s comatose body. (I’d like to make a note here, as it’s not this event what triggers Asuka’s infamous “disgusting” quote, but the feeling of finally accepting Shinji by caressing his face).

6.5. Love towards a Friend - Kaworu Nagisa:

Kaworu symbolizes the pure and mutually affined love towards a friend. His acceptance and understanding of Shinji, being an outsider, provide a stark contrast to the complicated and ultimately set by the environment relationships Shinji has with others. Kaworu’s friendship offers Shinji a glimpse of genuine affection and acceptance, one that is not granted but earned, showcasing how important being loved by someone who is not ultimately meant to becomes once a person is at its lowest. This relationship is eventually broken when Shinji is forced to kill Kaworu, which he sees as a betrayal to the one person who did accept him as he is.
It is especially interesting to me that every single one of these relationships ends up broken by the time the grand finale takes place, that way emotionally sinking Shinji as the ultimate catalyst for Instrumentality to be initiated. It is only then when he ultimately learns the proper way to face social interactions by first loving himself, as shown in the original TV ending for Neon Genesis Evangelion, that he starts accepting not only what he is but the ones around him. This is the true meaning behind Evangelion.

7. Additional - Letting go: why the Rebuild mattered.

The Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy is Hideaki Anno's way of letting go of the franchise that defined most of his career. Through these films, Anno revisited and reinterpreted the original series, providing a sense of closure and evolution for both the characters and the narrative itself, just not by traditionally finishing their arcs but letting them finally turn the page and move on regardless of the wounds that were still open.
The Rebuild of Evangelion serves as a message to fans, encouraging them to move beyond their attachment to this series and these characters. Similarly, this analysis stands as my own way of letting go, acknowledging the impact Evangelion has had on me these last few months while finding closure through a deeper understanding of its themes and meanings. In the end, the process of analyzing and interpreting Evangelion has become a means of accepting its conclusion and, in a way, finally moving forward.

TB-3 is in great condition, I just bought it on impulse and have hardly used it at all. Software editor opens it up a ton. It’s tickin’ all the boxes
Hydrasynth is great shape, comes w/ some cool patches I paid for
MPC60 is in very clean. Took it completely apart and cleaned every piece a couple months ago. Also put in a new backlight, fader board replaced/lubed, replaced power inverter w/ silent s-series one, gave it max RAM and installed Vimana 3.15 OS chips (which add a lot of extra functionality). Little bit on the fence about trading this one tbh
M-08 mixer is mostly working. Channel 2 is noisy so I don’t use it. Sounds good if you push it really hard
WTTF: not sure tbh, this stuff just isn’t getting used much. I need a new set of monitors. Wouldn’t mind trying an Analog Rytm mki or A4 mki. Open to offers!

it's like 30,53% of the people are to lazy to press Y
