CATDOLL: Fundraising for the official project "Lance of Longinus" for the 20th anniversary of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" has begun

As an important project for the 20th anniversary of "Neon Genesis Evangelion": piercing a Spear of Longinus into the moon to recreate the famous scene in the TV version where Unit 0 fights the 15th Angel Bird Angel. EVA officials will raise 100 million yen on the crowdfunding platform "READYFOR" to complete this feat. Donating 50,000 yen will allow you to have your name engraved on the "Spear of Longinus" (limited to 1,000 people). Do you think it's very grand to see this? But don't walk away, there's a surprise behind... For this reason, the official also released a preview video.

Official trailer for Spear of Longinus: The Moon:

This project is to reproduce the TV version of Unit 0 using the Spear of Longinus as a weapon to defeat the fifteenth master and apprentice Bird Angel, but at the same time the Spear of Longinus also remained in the lunar orbit. However, this "Spear of Longinus" is not a 1:1 reproduction of the one in the animation, but only a smaller version of the "Spear of Longinus" with a length of 24cm and a weight of about 30-40g. By the way, the official, aren't you really cheating money in disguise by doing this? ! !

The official partner of Neon Genesis Evangelion is the Japanese civilian lunar exploration team "HAKUTO". First, the official Neon Genesis Evangelion will launch a rocket from the United States to transport the "Lance of Longinus" into space. The "Lance of Longinus" will be stored in the unmanned lunar probe carried by the rocket. After that, a probe will land on the surface of the moon and shoot the "Lance of Longinus" inside. In this way, the "Lance of Longinus" will be considered to have pierced the moon.

The Spear of Longinus in Neon Genesis Evangelion: In the primitive times of the earth, the essence of heaven and earth gathered and grew the Tree of Life, which eventually gave birth to Adam and Lilith. These two are the highest forms of male and female in the world. After the forbidden fusion of the two, the "Egg of Lilith" was formed, also known as the "Black Moon". From it, 18 apostles were born. Among them, 17 obtained the Fruit of Life and had a complete body. Another one obtained the Fruit of Wisdom, but because there was not enough ATField. It was impossible to maintain a unified body, so it turned into a scattered body, that is, human beings. The Tree of Life disintegrated. The remaining roots turned into the Spear of Longinus.

The Spear of Longinus, later known as the "God-killing Spear", is the only weapon that can directly penetrate the ATField. In the later theatrical version, a replica of it appeared and became the first weapon of the EVA mass-produced machine, and Asuka's Unit 2 was also destroyed by the lance of the mass-produced machine. In the anime, Rei Ayanami used the Spear of Longinus to destroy the ATField of the Bird Angel, preventing it from attacking Asuka's mind.
