Gendo Ikari and [[Professor Hasegawa]] both represent humanity's last line of defense against a worldwide peril. They are brilliant, driven to a point that one could question their sanity, they know that there's a threat to Earth's future, and they know how to avoid it. Also, they both lose their wives and are driven by that loss to work harder on their research/experiments, perhaps to the exclusion of commonly-accepted morals. | Gendo Ikari and [[Professor Hasegawa]] both represent humanity's last line of defense against a worldwide peril.

These similarities could seem like a coincidence, but both Brent Pease | These similarities could seem like a coincidence, but both Brent Pease{{ref|[http://oni.bungie.org/special/part1/brent.html Bungie.org, "Interview with Brent Pease"].}} and Hardy LeBel{{ref|[http://oni.bungie.org/special/part3/hardy.html Bungie.org, "Interview with Hardy LeBel"].}} stated that Evangelion was one of their favorite anime. In fact, Hardy considered it to be the best anime ever made, and explicitly stated that Evangelion was an influence.{{ref|[http://carnage.bungie.org/oniforum/oni.forum.pl?read=4618 Oni Central Forum, "Re: The Analytical reasons behind Oni's influences"].}}{{ref|[https://web.archive.org/web/20041209033107/http://www.apple.com/games/articles/2001/02/oni/ Apple.com, "Conquering Demons: Bungie on Oni"].}} Beyond the plot similarities, we can't say how similar Hasegawa is to Gendo because Hasegawa's character is not elaborated on in Oni. Is Hasegawa a cold man like Gendo, is he driven by grief, or is he warmer and more likeable? Oni gives us almost nothing to go on, but it's difficult not to picture him as at least somewhat like Gendo Ikari, considering the connection the characters have. | ||
