Ascension/Shout Out

Taking up the example laid down by Nobody Dies, Ascension doesn't shy away from Shout Outs either.

 * As a result of Second Impact, there is a time dilation field around the US.
 * The Angels all have the designation A-1.

 * Kaworu quotes part of the introductory narration to Rei.


 * "How many of those friggin' knives you've got?!" "As many as I need."
 * Shephard is a direct Expy of O'Neill. Similarly, Rei has shades of Teal'c in her.


 * Kaworu's personality has Kamina-esque flareups.
 * He already showed signs of it when facing Sachiel but during the battle against Shamshel, he directly quotes Kamina's introductory spiel and catchphrase with added Precision F Strikes for emphasis, complete with Theme Music Power-Up.

 * And in the second season trailer, he quotes Simon's catchphrase against Sahaquiel.


 * In the battle with Israfel,.


 * Gaghiel spits thermal shock bombs.
