[EVA] Eva Manga Stage 72

[Ebj]

>Here is the latest Sadamoto Eva manga stage.
>This one follows the Director's Cut version for the most part, but  with the 
>usual Sadamoto modifications.

Which is good.

>Doesn't look like there will be a new stage next month again.

Great, we've got...3 stages in half a year. Looks like Sadamoto isn't going to 
accelerate anytime soon.

>"M"

>========================================
>Stage 72: Saigo no Shisha
>           (The Final Messenger/The Last to Die)

Another double meaning?

At any rate, we now know a few things here, namely details about Kaworu's birth 
and some clues as to why it happened, and also that Sadamoto decided to go the DC 
way with the story.

>12th ANGEL  [Trans note: *12th* Angel? Big typo by Sadamoto :P]

Indeed, that should be 13, shouldn't it?
We've had Adam, Lilith(confirmed,IIRC), Sachiel, Shamshel, Ramiel, Gaghiel, 
Israfel, Sahaquiel, Bardiel, Zeruel, Arael, Armisael, and now Tabris, that makes 
13.

>Shinji: Why!? Why!? WHY!?
>Shinji: I'm sick of this sort of thing! WHY!! (strikes induction  handle with 
>fist)

About time he got angry at this rather than whiny. :)

>Kaworu: Eva and I are made of the same body - For both Eva and I were  born from 
>the same Adam. If I did not have a soul, we could join.

If *I* did not have a soul?! Now *that* is one interesting bit of clarification 
or variation from the tv series.

>Shinji: Then stop! I don't want to fight with you!

I don't see the causal link with Kaworu's sentence here...

>Kaworu: Why not? You don't like me. You don't think of me as a  friend, do you?

Great way to justify Shinji splorshing him now that it's not out of resentment 
for betrayal. :P

>Ending text: How will the battle end...!?

*rolls eyes* Don't we know? :PPP

Many thanks for the translation. The cover of the magazine was deceptive.
