Tainted Cube Discussion: Neon Genesis Evangelion

Last time on NGE, Shinji winds up moving in with five rather attractive women: Misato, Rei and three bodyguards. The fourth Angel initiated its attack, and that's about where we left off.

So where can we go from here?

I think it might be a good idea to at least do up to the fifth angel (the big blue diamond with the death laser) for this particular chapter, and have Shinji be much more flirtatious with his new housemates. He should also be making friends with Toji and Kensuke, maybe even setting them up with girlfriends.

I also think this is probably a good time to really do something with the "we're hunting for the cube" subplot I set up, though at the moment I am unclear what that could be.

So, any thoughts about this one?

  1. Perhaps the MAGI have some sort of breakthrough interpreting the energy? And all they get is the contents of Kyon's Wish, which doesn't help anyone in the slightest.

    What would should Kyon desire be anyway to mix up the NGE world?

  2. Kyon's Wish would seem to grant Shinji empathetic powers, so he'd be able to know if someone was truly attracted to him. Given the way the cube works chances are that Shinji will be bombarded by the lust and pleasure he inspires in women, and may even be able to project it out again, causing a feedback loop that often results in orgies.

    For the hunting for the cube subplot. Have the MAGI determine that sexual related events are related to the cube, and have security personnel search of signs of increased sexual activity. The leader of this black ops team could be a member of the Britania royal family sense Kyon had visions of them and we already have crossover girls in this NGE.

    Shinji's wish could be "Why can't we ever find some attractive angels with wings and wearing only loose robes like in those bible inspired paintings?"

  3. Actually, I was going with a slightly different idea. Play off the idea that Kyon wants to be liked for who he is.

    In addition to this: When the effect hits, he's sharing the plug with a certain pair of idiots, and they accidentally take a hit of the effect.

    I do like the idea about the hunting for the cube subplot though. Definitely need to integrate that.
