undead unluck episode 4 zero starting life in another world
[71] According to Anno, "as the symbols are mixed together, for the first time something like an interrelationship or a meaning emerges". [72] According to Patrick Drazen, numerous allusions to the Kojiki and the Nihongi have a prominent role in Evangelion, along with the Shinto vision of the primordial cosmos and the mythical lances of the Shinto deities Izanagi and Izanami. [73] Elements of the Judeo-Christian tradition also feature prominently throughout the series, including references to Adam, Lilith, Eve, the Lance of Longinus,[74] the Dead Sea Scrolls,[75] the Kabbalistic concept of Adam Kadmon, and the Tree of Life. [73] The merging of all human souls into one through the Human Instrumentality Project at the end of the series has been compared to the Kabbalistic concept of tikkun olam. [76] The Evangelions have been likened to the golem of Jewish folklore,[46] and their visual design resembles the traditional depictions of oni, Japanese demons or ogres. [77] Neon Genesis Evangelion has been interpreted as a deeply personal expression of Hideaki Anno's own emotional struggles with depression. [46] During the production of the series, he became interested in mental illness and psychology. [52] According to him, Rei is a schizophrenic character[78] and a representation of Shinji's unconscious,[72] while Shinji has an Oedipus complex[79][80][81] and is characterized by a libido-destrudo conflict. [82] Similarly, Ritsuko has an Electra complex, in which she loves Gendo, a sort of substitute for her father figure. [83] Anno himself stated that he identifies with Shinji in both a conscious and unconscious manner,[84] while Rei is Anno's "deepest part" and Kaworu his Jungian shadow. [85] Shinji's entering into Unit-01 has been interpreted as a Freudian "return to the womb", and his struggle to be free of the Eva as his "rite of passage" into manhood.
