Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance: Makinami Mari Illustrious 05

Makinami Mari Illustrious’ designation amongst the Children has yet to be revealed, though she is once referred as “Problem Child”. In the preview of the 3rd Rebuild movie, Mari is seen taking off her glasses while in confinement. She is also shown having a private conversation with an unknown character.

She’s a strange character if you ask me, but undoubtedly very cute. Besides, Sakamoto Maaya is her seiyuu, so how can you not love her? Thanks again to Daniel for sending this in!

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance: Makinami Mari Illustrious and Ayanami Rei

At the apparent death of Soryu Asuka Langley, Ikari Shiji left NERV as he disapproved of his father’s actions. It was then that the Tenth Angel attacked, forcing Mari to hijack Unit-02 in an attempt to beat the Angel. However, even after she initiated the berserker mode, she was no match for it. Ayanami Rei then piloted Unit-00, but even with both of them working together, the Angel still remained unscathed.

And I won’t reveal any more than that! If you’d like to know what happened next, you’d best watch the movie yourself… Thanks again to Jamie for sending this!

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance: Makinami Mari Illustrious 03

The beginning of the movie immediately reveals Makinami Mari Illustrious to be a pilot of the Provisional Evangelion Unit-05. She was sent to destroy the resuscitated skeleton of the Third Angel in its attack on NERV’s arctic Bethany Base. Mari was able to successfully defeat the Angel by self-destructing her unit,and ejecting at the last minute to avoid her own death.

I guess Evangelion’s 4-part theatrical remake really made an impact on the con goers this year. Thanks again for the contribution, Quince!

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance: Makinami Mari Illustrious 02

The Provisional Evangelion Unit-05 which Mari pilots drastically differs from previous incarnations of the Eva Unit. It has four mechanical ”legs” that end in wheels and a lack of hands which is replaced with a jousting lance and “claw”. This unique design requires Mari to wear a helmet-like contraption in order to pilot Unit-05. Her plugsuit is also equipped with several attachments that connect to tubing that apparently help her in moving her unit.

So pretty! I really like her choice of setting for this photograph. Thanks to Quince for sending this!
