The "Human Completion Project" is the main theme of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Mankind has reached its pinnacle of evolution. To save mankind from complete extinction, a process is initiated to evolve humans to a higher level , one without mortal bodies, being a perfect being. To achieve this, NERV, appointed a company named "Seele" to direct the "Human Completion Project Committee". The committees work is conducted secretly. Gendou's concept of Human Completion differs from what the comittee is thinking of, in a way that can change the world forever. Completion is the process of recovering lost things, thus the Human Completion Project is an attempt to recover what humans have lost and reunite humans' hearts to their original states.
The "Human Completion Project" to achieve their goal, using the "Fruit of Wisdom" possessed by humankind, it is necessary to artificially create the "Fruit of Life" from the "Tree of Life", which is owned by god and forbidden to humankind. Finally to complete the completion the "Third Impact" must be activated to destroy the material world. But in Gendou's mind the project is different.
NERV role in the Human Completion Project
Although NERV's purpose of existence seems to be only to destroy Angels. NERV real aim is the "Human Completion Project". Perhaps Gendou's vision of the "Human Completion Project" was the one accomplished at the end of the series. Basically what humans are missing is the presence of other humans, being this the cause of the gaping void in humans soul which is the source of their frustration, anxiety and loneliness. The only way to fill this void is with the presence of other humans. Humans are incomplete as individuals, othe humans are needed in order to define one's existence; without others, everything loses its definition and becomes formless. The completion is evident within the four main characters, Misato, Asuka, Rei and Shinji, as they exist in each other's mind and memories. Human Completion merged them all into a complete higher being. The series end with the completion of Shinji, who at the end accepts himself and becomes more confident. He's then congratulated by his friends who exist within his mind.
