Neon Genesis Evangelion never actually had all five Children serving together, but the they do fit a Five-Man Band. According to Asuka on their Radio Drama (included on the album Neon Genesis Evangelion Addition), "Shin Sentai Evangelion" would go like this: | |
---|---|
The Hero | Asuka (what with her wearing red) |
The Lancer | Kaworu (because of his black plugsuit) |
The Big Guy | Toji (references his Kansai accent) |
The Smart Guy | Shinji (called antisocial) |
The Chick | Rei (says that her suit color is as blank as her brain) |
Sixth Ranger | Mari |
In Asuka's little Mind perhaps...
The children might be forming an actual Five Man Band in Rebuild,tough, expecially since the Trailer for Q/3.0 announced a "meeting of the children whose fates have been predetermined" Based on their personalities, I'd rather tend towards the following group layout, tough:
The Hero | Shinji (He's the protagonist after all - and keep in mind that this is [[Took a Level in Badass Rebuild Shinji |
The Lancer | Asuka (Think of more emotionally healthy but still snarky Eyepatch!Asuka who has given up on her romantic feelings for him but more openly accepts him as a friend |
The Big Guy | Mari (Because she is just that Badass) |
The Smart Guy/The Sixth Ranger/Sixth Ranger Traitor | Kaworu. (He's well informed/likes philosophy, is the last one to join the group and then there's his... origin) |
The Chick | Rei (Again, think of her Rebuild incarnation.) |
The Mentor | Misato |
Alternatively, the bridge crew at NERV: | |
---|---|
The Hero | Gendo (in his own mind) |
The Lancer | Fuyutsuki (Gendo's foil, subtle rival) |
The Big Guy | Aoba (a bit of a jock) |
The Smart Guy | Hyuga (glasses? check. Otaku? check) |
The Chick | Ibuki (a girl, the more stable one) |
Plus: | |
---|---|
The Heart | Misato |
The Medic | Ritsuko |
The Sixth Ranger | Kaji |

The Chick | Nami (Team Mom version), sometimes Usopp |

Sixth Ranger | Robin (initially) |
Brook is more of a general sort of comedy relief so far. Though considering he is a LOT older than everyone else he may become a Mentor. Probably Trickster Mentor,
