There has been a theory going on for years now that the rebuild films are actually a sequel to the original evangelion series and that everything we have seen is just another loop that was reset after end of evangelion and i am one that has been a supporter for this theory.

The Title for this fourth film is 3.0 + 1.0 doesn't anyone think this might be another clue? hinting of another attempt to reset to back in the beginning, these coincidence are just a little to much not to mean something.

Ain't such a bad clue, tbh. After all, I'm sure they aren't stupid enough not to know the number "4" instead of just a numerical sequence of "3, and then 1 after that."

It could just be because the number 4 is considered unlucky in Japan.

It's honestly pretty funny to see overthinkers like you mind boggled by things that will not happen.

Not necessarily true. Sometimes apartments don’t have a fourth floor, room, button number, etc. 4 means death (although 9 means suffering but they are okay with that).

my second language is japanese i know. but the superstition of the number 4 is not leading people to skip things like this in product marketing you brainlet


I mean, you don’t have an answer to why it’s not used so it might be the case you brainlet. Come up with a better idea as to why if you want.

Tbh the english title is really not what you should be interested in. The japanese title is interesting since it doesn't follow the pattern of the first three and uses some interesting stuff. Heck even the name of the series is written with different characters than it was in previous movies. And then there is also the repeat symbol from music notation

I pretty sure that even in the end of 3.0 + 1.0 we still won't know and can interpret to anyway too. That's the only way every theorist will be satisify

even in japanese title it can be
: + ll = ending (like the :Q in third movie)
or
:ll = repeat
ambiguity is the ture clue of this title

Yeah and It's still the 4th movie no matter what they name it so it surely isn't the reason behind it

also NGE had the episode 4, not 3+1

I am pretty sure they gave the episodes names, not numbers.
Why do people find it so hard to believe that 4 is considered a really unlucky number?

Personally I assumed the title was because it was supposed to be released together with 3.0 or as a part of 3.0 but I am not quite sure.
