Someone pointed out a major plot hole in Garden of EVA, so I pulled out
the spackle and patched it up. :)
The plot hole in question is that I originally mentioned plane tickets
for the championships back in Book 0, but they used a train to get to
Osaka-2 in Book 1.
Here's the start to the revised scene for your reading pleasure.
-E- -V- -A-
Later, the gang ate lunch near the train station while they waited
for their train back to Tokyo-3. Misato was in another booth yelling at
Kaji for something that he did last night. Only Asuka knew what that
was, but she wasn't about to spill the details.
"What could that guy have done that made her so mad?" Kensuke
asked, watching Misato's breasts bounce with each shout.
"How would I know!!" Asuka blurted, then blushed and sunk into her
seat.
The others looked a bit oddly at her, but then went on with their
lunch conversation.
Asuka looked around when she heard a train whistle. "Damn... we
should have kept the plane tickets. I hate trains."
Hikari sighed. "Well, if SOMEONE wouldn't have lost half the
tickets-" She glared at Touji. "-then we wouldn't have had to exchange
the remaining tickets for cheaper train tickets."
"I'm sorry, okay? I don't know what happened to the tickets." Touji
absently glanced at his bag where his new night-vision binoculars were
stashed. By some sort of amazing coincident, they cost about the same as
three round trip airplane tickets would cost. Go figure.
"What are you looking at, Touji?" Hikari asked.
Touji changed the subject suddenly. "Damn, I hope Shinji is
alright."
"Me too. You know... I still wish we didn't have to give up the
championships." Kensuke looked longingly at the binder that he kept all
his Eva specs and game materials in. His gaze moved to a waitress who
was bending over nearby. His eyes silently shifted between his two
current passions: Eva and girls. He caught sight of Hikari's glare and
quickly looked at the hamburger on his plate to avoid getting aroused.
<Hmmm... the slit between the patties looks a little like...> He
absentmindedly prodded the patties with a knife.

"Unit 01, Angel at eleven o'clock."
"But it's only seven o'clock," Shinji quipped.
The computer-controlled voice didn't find Shinji's joke funny, so the
AI program inserted ten Angels around Shinji's Unit 01. It didn't take
long for his Eva to be reduced to a pile of scrap metal and flesh.
