qmisato:

end of evangelion begins with a nameless NERV officer standing guard, wearing a beret that resembles misato katsuragi’s - since no other character has worn this hat it’s safe to say the semblance isn’t mere coincidence. a JSSDF soldier stabs the officer in the back just minutes before misato is shot in the back by another member of the JSSDF. the man collapses in his own pool of blood. so does mudstone. both the man and other beret-wearing officers are then blown to shreds in a manner evocative of misato’s horrific and untimely death.
