Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure - Other Similarities

Other Similarities

Several elements in Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure (1999) are very similar to Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995):

• The main character changes the world in the last episode to merge two conflicting worlds and to make them both more to his own liking.
• The end result of merging of both worlds in Dual! is extremely similar to a "hypothetical" outcome displayed to the main character of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
• The rifle guns that the Sanada-style robots use look and act like the rifles of Evangelion.
• The Sanada-style robots can be compared to Evangelion robots, with similar shoulders, hand-to-hand combat styles, and one male pilot with two female pilots on the team.
• The color scheme of the robot of the confident and somewhat hot-headed female pilot in Dual! is very similar to the color of the robot of the female pilot Asuka Langly Soryu in Evangelion.
• The color scheme of the robot of the reserved female pilot in Dual! is very similar to the color of the robot of the reserved female pilot, Rei Ayanami, in Evangelion.
• The Rara-style robots start out as nonhumanoid in the first battles and change their type each battle in size and power, similar to the Angels.
• The main character has a mysterious female friend that is usually quite reserved, until she meets the protagonist, which amazes everyone else. And they both have non-human origins.
• The main character has a female teacher that dotes on him.

Because of these elements, Dual is considered a parody of Evangelion.
