So what you're basically saying is a god like being can't take a hit from an energy blast?

  • We don't know how powerful this being is in terms of durability. People in fiction can bring people to life without being powerful in other aspects.

  • To answer your question about the Durability of an EVA unit, each is protected by what's known as an "AT Field." Even a weak AT Field, generated by a weaker Angel can survive multiple near-simultaneous Nuclear detonations at point-blank range. The AT Field of EVA-01 is multiple orders of magnitude stronger than that, and can, in theory, only be breached by either another AT Field, or by specific, uncommon weapons. Plus, the EVA, as a pseudo-living being is also capable of self-repair.

  • This still doesn't tell us if it could survive.

  • Assuming that even a weak AT Field can stop DOZENS of nukes with little visible effect to the being behind it, then EVA-01 could conceptually stop the equivalent of hundreds to thousand of Nukes with minimal effect to itself.

  • Even if in that's true, assuming each nuke has the power of the most powerful nuke in history (100 megatons). It's still nothing compared to the Death Star laser which fires with 53 quadrillion megatons of energy.

  • Where exactly are you pulling that number from?

  • Key question is how much of the force is from the actual blast, and how much comes from secondary reactions in the planet itself.

  • Um......planets are not combustible.

  • Theoretically, the planet itself isn't. However, certain materials could react to the blaster bolt, not to mention cataclysmic reactions to a massive energy blast going cleanly through it.

  • It's a laser, lasers don't cause random elements to become combustible.

  • Technically, it's a bolt of hyper-energized particles, more akin to a plasma shot than a laser.

  • No real difference in this case.

  • Theoretically, it's a huge difference. The nature of a Blaster sounds is that it rapidly disperses on impact with a surface. So whatever the Death Star is firing, it's causing subsequent reactions throughout the planet, thus the uniform detonation pattern.

  • There is no evidence that blasters cause things to become combustible.

  • I'm not saying that a standard blaster causes things to magically become combustible. What I'm saying is that the Death Star main cannon, which appears to be a significantly different type of weapon from "standard" blasters, appears to destroy planets from some form of internal reaction.

  • It looks to be a laser. It has never been hinted that it causes chain reactions. So we can't assume it does.

  • Proof he is that powerful? In the video he didn't do anything that impressive.

  • Okay lemme get started. In this video, this clip from the movie "The Rebuild of Evangelion 2.22" Shinji Ikari, Pilot of Eva Unit one . In this scene He, and the Eva are approaching god hood. Reason why is because Shinji wants Rei back. K. But since the Eva is becoming a God it is causing Second Impact. Second Impact is the end of the world, Destruction of Earth. Now what the scene doesn't show you is that The Eva, and Shinji are stopped. By a spear, The Lance of Longinus. And you're probably thinking "Oh well if some stupid lance stopped this god from destroying the world, then now there is no way it'll survive the Deat-" Relax. The thing about Longinus is it is meant to harm Angels/ Gods. It was literally the only thing to stop Eva unit one from destroying the world!

  • But this doesn't give us a way to measure their power. We can't just say because they are "becoming gods" that they are invincible. Zeus from Clash of the Titans is considered a god. But he is nowhere near powerful enough to survive the Death Star.
