Unit 02 destroys an Angel while underwater (an environment the EVA is not designed to handle), launches itself into the air via the resulting explosion, does a perfect three-point landing onto an nearby aircraft carrier. Subverted in Asuka's debut episode in Neon Genesis Evangelion.

ARMOR POSER DEBUT HOW TO
note Not as bad as it sounds, and a common way of teaching people how to land without hurting themselves: Feet hit the ground first, then immediately transfer the force of the landing to other parts of your body by falling over in a controlled fashion, letting your hips take the hit instead of your weaker ankles and knees. Also not to be confused with the skydiving three-point landing, where you land on your feet and then fall on your ass. It has become especially popular in superhero movies (as noted in the page quote), owing to the fact that it's a pretty simple bit of special effects trickery that both demonstrates that someone is a badass and lets the filmmakers easily cover up the Stunt Double, especially in the version where the character is looking down upon landing before looking up at the camera (often with a cut in between).Ī play on "three-point landing", an aircraft landing in which both the main gear (the wheels further back on tricycle gear aircraft like airliners) and the tail/nosewheel touch down on the runway at the same time, which is not a good thing for tricycle-gear planes due to the nosewheel not being designed to take that sort of stress note the main gear are meant to take the initial shock before the nose is brought down, though its usually not a big deal for taildraggers (and is actually preferred for some of them) note and naval aircraft meant to land on an aircraft carrier are specifically designed to land like this, as there's not enough space on a carrier deck to allow for a gentle rear-wheels-first landing. Very common in manga, anime, and video games, but can also be seen in movies - especially those with visual styles inspired by them.
