AT field you say? Now isn't that interesting. I didn't know that about it. (Actually makes Evangelion more thematically consistent if that's the case, but kind of ruins the surprise.)

I think the exact translation for AT Field is something like "holy area which cannot be intruded upon", which is where the term Zettai Ryoiki came from which is kind of hilarious to me.

I could try to explain what the AT Field is exactly, from my understanding, unless that would be a spoiler for you?
