neon genesis evangelion will reward you for each rewatch.
i just found this nugget of foreshadowing. end of evangelion opens with a nameless NERV officer standing guard, wearing a beret that bears a striking resemblance to misato katsuragi’s - since no other character has worn this hat it’s safe to say the semblance isn’t mere coincidence. a JSDFF soldier stabs the man in the back just minutes before misato is shot in the back. the man collapses in his own pool of blood before misato is fated for the same. both the man and other beret-wearing officers are then blown to shreds in a manner evocative of misato’s horrific and untimely death.
