Ōwakudani Geothermal Scene
In *Neon Genesis Evangelion*, the volcanic belt surrounding Tokyo-3 displays frequent geothermal activity. This location is filled with a strong sulfur smell, with white steam erupting from rugged black rocks and cracked ground. In the distance, a large volcanic crater can be seen, its rim emitting hot vapor, blending into the background as Evangelion units sortie.

- 该场景的原型是箱根大涌谷，一个活跃的火山地热区，以黑鸡蛋（硫磺熏黑的鸡蛋）闻名。
- 在新世纪福音战士中，箱根地区的火山带被设定为第二新东京市的地质基础，也是NERV总部选址的原因之一。
