If you know nothing of Neon Genesis Evangelion, please don't stress yourself by reading.

Now NGE is a good anime but it somtimes can be quite confusing. To help others and myself better understand and get some neet information not set forward in the anime and also others opinion on what everything means I made thing thread.

1.Lance of Longinus
The 'Lance of Longinus' as seen in NGE, is a huge spear shaped like a double helix. It was used by Ayamani to destroy the 15th angel, Arael. It is also necessary for Seele's version of the Human Completion Project. This is definitely a reference to the Biblical character Saint Longinus

(Taken from Catholic Online Saints)

"St. Longinus is the centurion who pierced the side of Our Lord while He was hanging on the Cross. St. Longinus, who was nearly blind, was healed when some of the blood and water from Jesus fell into his eyes. It was then he exclaimed "Indeed, this was the Son of God!" [Mark 15:39]. St. Longinus then converted, Left the army, took instruction from the apostles and became a monk in Cappadocia. There he was arrested for his faith, his teeth forced out and tongue cut off. However, St. Longinus miraculously continued to speak clearly and managed to destroy several idols in the presence of the governor. The governor, who was made blind by the demons that came from the idols, had his sight restored when St. Longinus was being beheaded, because his blood came in contact with the governors' eyes. St. Longinus' relics are now in the church of St Augustine, in Rome. His Lance is contained in one of the four pillars over the altar in the Basilica of St Peter's in Rome."

If I'm not mistaken doesn't Rei kill Lithus (2nd Angle) with it too? The one on the cross is infact not Adam because Kaji took it from Germany. So this would mean that the producers thought the angles divine. Any one else get that from this?

How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?
I haven't watched NGE in awhile, but did they ever get the lance back? If I recall, they were unable to retrieve it from space...
