Neon Genesis Evangelion Chapter 95.5 (Last Stage) Discussion

This is the chapter discussion thread I was sent to after finishing the Eden of Summer chapter with Yui and some character named Mari Makinami. I liked getting insight into why Yui fell for Gendo but otherwise, I got none of that. Guessing it might have something to do with the Rebuild films but I haven't seen any of them.

Indeed, it's a bonus chapter depicting Sadamoto's take on Mari, a character created by Anno for the Shin Eva movies. He wrote that without discussing with Anno, relying only on his assumptions because of Mari's behaviour and manner of speaking toward certain characters along the fact she seemed to know certain things It's totally disconnected from the manga but is interesting once you watched the second Shin movie.

@Optigisa Yes, it is.

Now THAT is an ending. That very well may be one of my favorite last chapters of all time. Beautifully done. So i'm guessing the world was reset with memories of the previous events being erased. The whole geography of the world must have been reset pre-2nd impact too. Kind of weird, if you think about that part too much. Apparently everyone thinks the MP Evas have always been there, as those "relics". Shinji seems to retain some of it, since he remembered Asuka. But what a great end to the series. I still wonder if Misato, Toji, Kaji, or any other character that was killed came back in this universe. But in the it doesn't matter too much. Shinji is the main character, and we see his life is now normal and he's on the path to a bright future. This ending was much more satisfying that anything related to Eva i've seen so far, and i'm sure the Rebuild movies aren't going to be able to match it. It's been quite a ride, and i'm sad to see it end, but i'm glad it ended really well.

Really really nice ending! with this last chapter I can say I loved the entire manga, it was doubtful but I'm glad I decided to read it, I has been very enjoyable

That ending this is by far the best possible version of NGE... unless Rebulid 4.0 manages to top this... Ooh my excitement for Final is off the charts

this wasn't nearly as emotionally compelling as the anime for obvious reasons but I really liked how the story was more cleaned up and thought out compared to it. The ending was a big let down for me personally but still a great adaptation of everything else

So is this the girl who is added in the rebuild movies? Meh. Nice manga though.

I've renamed the thread title because what people here read was not the actual chapter 95, but the chapter "Last Stage". Please use this thread for discussion about this "Last Stage" chapter and move all discussion about chapter 95 to a new thread.



I've also removed all posts that were asking where to read this other chapter and posts that were giving links as this is not allowed (see the Manga Series Chapter Discussion Rules and Site & Forum Guidelines).



Not allowed?! Then how the hell am I supposed to find it? Because nowhere seems to have chapter 95... they all go 94, 94.2, 96.



Can I at least ask for someone who's read it to message me a link?



+1

goddaamit. if it isnt anno raping our minds with this series its the mangaka and internet with all these chatper 95s out there fffuuuuu





just read one on a spanish forum titled "thank you, goodbye". basically shinji has a talk with his mother and the last page says in spanish "finally, the climax" then a text box on the corner reads "continued in july" LOLWUT.
