IF you took JLPT1 over the last weekend, then you might have heard something very familiar during the listening examination.
As Kinny Riddle shares, the final question managed to tickle many otakus who were taking the exam:
Man 1: Captain, our second line of defences have been penetrated! The monster is heading straight for the Central Command Centre.
Man 2: At this rate, we won’t even last 30 minutes.
Captain: Which Model Fighters can be deployed right now?
Man 1: Just Unit 00.
Captain: Looks like we have no choice but to deplot Unit 04 as well.
Man 2: Testing for Unit 04 is still not completed yet. Besides, we don’t have anyone capable of piloting it.
Captain: Unit 00 won’t be able to stop that thing. So I will personally pilot Unit 04.
Man 1: You’re going yourself!? But Captain, you won’t be able to withstand Unit 04′s acceleration with that injury!
Woman: I will go!
Captain: Asuka!
Asuka: I will be able to control Unit 04. So please, let me go!
Captain: But you’re still a trainee. Now’s not the time for kids to show off their skills.
Asuka: Now’s not the time to argue about this! (Runs off)
Captain: Hey, Asuka! Wait!
Computer announcer: Unit 04 is now ready for launch.
Captain: Asuka, we’re counting on you.
Please choose the right answer:
1. The Captain deployed on Unit 00.
2. The Captain deployed on Unit 04.
3. The woman (Asuka) deployed on Unit 00.
4. The woman deployed on Unit 04.
This has gotta be the most bizarre exam question I’ve ever heard. If I was in the exam hall, I would be so distracted that I would end up missing the question.
hahaha. this can’t be good for the non “weeboo” groups. anime dialogue used in the JLPT? funny.
Yeah, it was funny as hell. Half the people in my room were giggling and even the proctors (3 OL types) were laughing.
OMFG? YOUR KIDDING ME?!
Btw, Alafista-san took JLPT1?! ^^;
Nah … JLPT 1 is way too high level for me ^^
It’s just more proof that EVA is everywhere!!!
omg…. is this from the original anime series? sry i havent watch the anime series yet. that gonna be awesome if my test have something like this XD
No, it’s not an actual scene from EVA, as for starters the voice cast is different. But whoever wrote the test scene was a major EVA otaku.
They should use random anime quotes in the JLPT LV 1 XD (everytime)
