Evangelion Replacements for Dr. Akagi
- Thread starter GoatMan
- Start date
One thing I'd like to point out that unlike replacing Gendo, for whom any Magnificent Bastard would do; Ritsuko Akagi is deeply involved in building the Evangelions, its weapons, figuring out the Angel's AT-field dickery, and checking up on Rei. This means whoever replaces her better be a damn good geneticist and biomechanical wizard, for if the job is foisted off to someone else... then there's really little point in replacing Dr. Akagi. Might as well just make up a new post for NERV.
Strangely, for this situation I feel an expy of Orochimaru would actually work best. Angels and Evangelions are functionally immortal, after all.

Dr. Light is perfect, then. Aside from his work in the robotics department, do remember that in the Megaman world, even humans have half a ton of biomechanical implants all over them.
This is especially evident in the X and Zero series, where there isn't a single human who's fully human - even so-called pure humans are heavily mechanized. And in Zero, there's little difference left between humans and Repliroids. And if you go by Mega Man Legends, there aren't any humans left. Repliroids have become so advanced they even bleed, reproduce and die as if they were humans.
Even in the basic Megaman series, it's implied that humans are in the process of becoming more mechanical due to implants...

I think Gendo might decide to keep Rei to himself, were he to hire Dr. Light, or hell, anybody.
And Ritsuko wasn't really involved in the building of the Evas. I don't remember the timeline too well, but I remember that Yui died long before Naoko Akagi, and Unit 01 was already fully built at the time.

Wallace (From Wallace and Gromit).
The guy made a rocket in his basement so he could spend a three-day weekend on the moon - and it worked! He made a motorcycle sidecar into a functioning airplane. I'm sure he could do something with EVA grade technology.
Of course, Gromit, who is by far the most intelligent member of the cast of those stories, would end up sniffing out what is really going on in NERV.

You know what? I have no Idea where this would go, and that makes it all the more awesome. It's the sort of deep 'wow,I cant see how far this tunnel goes' feeling.
I can almost see him offering cheese and crackers to the staff of NERV. And I wonder how complex the rube goldberg of a system for launching an Eva would be.
