The Rebuild of Evangelion brought an entirely new and expanded story to Hideki Anno’s masterpiece, and although the movie saga has never been met with the same universal acclaim, it definitely came with a considerable visual upgrade for more modern times. Rei and Asuka were among the few characters to get at least a couple touch-ups and slight redesigns, but nothing beats their classic Eva unit plugsuits.

For Danish cosplayers Rinaca and Su-rine that’s certainly the case as they teamed up for a photoshoot that captures the first and second children in their battle-ready outfits with impressive accuracy. Unlike most Evangelion cosplay tributes that usually feature spandex plugsuits, these two women went for full vinyl suits with some accessories that really make them look capable of achieving 100% synchronization to fight off any angels.
As if the work put into their costumes by Rinaca and Su-rine wasn’t enough, the duo really went the distance to add an entry plug-like cockpit to their photoshoot that perfectly compliments their pinpoint accurate plugsuits. Judging from the latest Rebuild of Evangelion trailer, Rei and Asuka will definitely be vital if the chosen children are to save the world again.
The Rebuild film series features all Evangelion characters sticking to their decades-old personalities, though Rei did get a costume redesign and eyepatch Asuka has certainly lived through a lot. Regardless of that, when the world is upon a fourth or fifth impact, there’s really no rest for the weary, and 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time promises a noticeable improvement from its predecessors.
