- 貞本版係貞本個人作出修改(大改), 漫畫係貞本個人觀點。
論據1: 漫畫 vol.2, 現在所思考的事, 最尾一頁。
論據2: MILANO MANGA FESTIVAL: REPORTAGE DEI SADAMOTO DAYS
"As for the Evangelion manga , Sadamoto claims to have made it entirely by himself, without consulting with anyone, so any differences with the anime were all decided solely by him; this in contrast to the anime where all decisions were made as a group, all sitting in the same room and arguing."
"A question about the Evangelion manga, were you completely free on the script or were you consulting director Anno?
Sadamoto: There isn’t any script. When you make anime there are the storyboards, right? We were just sharing them, so I’m on the same level as a fan. I just wrote it on my own, looking at the storyboards. So I didn’t consult anyone, and of course no one from the TV series’ staff intervened in my manga."
- 貞本情況同山下一樣, 如果山下本小說叫官方同人小說, 咁漫畫版理應同樣講法。
論據1: 根據MILANO MANGA FESTIVAL: REPORTAGE DEI SADAMOTO DAYS
"In the realization of the characters of Evangelion , Anno left Sadamoto with a lot of freedom, giving him little information, such as the blood type."

點解貞本版漫畫唯同真希波劇情對於ROE劇情無足夠既參考價值:
- 貞本打算係重用人物
根據MILANO MANGA FESTIVAL: REPORTAGE DEI SADAMOTO DAYS
"As for Mari, a character present in the Rebuild , they wanted to attract a new type of fan, as well as create an additional character that could be "broken" (in this case the translator was not sure of the word used); Sadamoto also said that he really likes Mari's character, and plans to reuse it in the future."
- 貞本主動否認真希波係漫畫同ROE故事有關係。
根據THE CURRENT STATUS OF GAINAX – INTERVIEW: HIROYUKI YAMAGA & YOSHIYUKI SADAMOTO (SEPTEMBER, 2016)
"Next question is about Evangelion Rebuilds, do you know about the symbol of the last movie (repeat sign in music)?
Sadamoto: Just to start, I’d like to clarify my position on the Rebuilds. I’ve only done the main character designs so… (laugh)"
"So, in the last page of the manga there is Mari, one of the Rebuild’s characters…
Sadamoto: Oh, that’s not in the storyline, it’s just an extra chapter for the manga volume. It’s even apart from the movies, like fanservice. Just something you mustn’t think too hard about. (laugh) It’s just something that went through my mind, I thought it would be funny if it were like that."
好似綾波咁
