EVA town commemoration event: 7-meter-long exquisite cast iron Spear of Longinus unveiled

As part of the "Neon Genesis Evangelion" Japanese town parade commemorative activities, a restored version of the work's representative weapon, the Spear of Longinus, was unveiled a few days ago. It is more than 7 meters long and is made of high-grade cast iron technology, with extremely outstanding details.

The Spear of Longinus is a spear that pierced Jesus Christ. According to the Bible, when Jesus was crucified, a centurion pierced his side with a spear. The centurion was called Longinus. When Jesus' blood dripped into Longinus' eyes, Longinus was instantly moved. He gave up his original identity and became a monk, and had the ability to perform miracles. Later, he was posthumously recognized as a saint and called "Saint Longinus".

This Spear of Longinus stands in a park in Ube City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It is over 7 meters high and is made of high-precision cast iron. The overall details are completely restored to the original setting, becoming a new local tourist landmark.
