Long story short, I'm Hawkeye and I'm an Eva fan, have been for years. None of my other friends are fans, which is a pity, but other than that I have a real interest in the concepts and the multi-faceted approach to the narrative. Having said that, I'm keeping this page, like I do on all my wikis, for theories and observations that I can't put into the articles for lack of evidence or relevance. Everything after this part will be dedicated to such things. :D

Evangelion Synchronization Rate
This is a table (Sorta, I can't make tables here, but you get the idea) of the Sync rates for Evas and the seeming effects they have for the pilots and their Units. Admittedly I haven't watched the series in some time and until I refresh my memory, this is under construction.

0% - Presumably the Eva is completely unresponsive. There is no risk to the pilot.

<10% - Asuka's sync ratio against Armisael, the Eva is completely unresponsive, but otherwise considered active.

41.3% - Shinji's Sync rate in his first battle without plugsuit. Seemingly impressive without any help, but even so, he could barely keep 01 moving. At this point the pilot has a phantom association with damage to the Eva, they seemingly register pain without suffering any actual damage.

60% - Vice Commander Fuyutsuki ordered Shinji's sync rate cut to this during his battle with Bardiel. While Gendou belays this order, it is implied that without this Shinji's life would be in danger. This likely makes 60% the highest value within the safe range for a pilot before they start to suffer actual harm from their connection to the Eva.

400+% - Shinji's sync ratio when battling Zeruel. By this point the pilot's AT Field has merged with the Eva causing them to lose human form and be reduced to LCL. The Eva is self aware and seemingly self sustained at this point, operating under its own will and power. Judging by dialogue in the Rebuild Continuity, forced changes in the Evas nature such as Beast Mode and the Pseudo-Evolution of Unit-01 are abilities which risk loss of the pilot, implying a similarly high sync ratio.
