Baitfriend go home.

Asuka is provably one of the most useless and arguably one of the most counterproductive protagonists of the last 30 years.

She never does anything for herself and constantly drags Shinji, Rei, and Misato down.

If you are an Asukafag you're either waifuing the Asuka from that ebin fanfic doujin all Asukafriends take as canon or are just in it for that tight plugsuit ass.

She's an awful, dishonest, weak character with a toxic personality and a shitty demeanor.

If you like her, it's purely for her looks and character design.

At least Rei would die for you. Asuka would kill you if it made mommy happy.

I'm not even a Reifag, either.

I think you're missing the point that they're fucking 14 years old getting braindamage from driving big ass robots to kill weird shit. Asuka had a realistic personality unlike Rei, this on top of the small chardev she had made her super uninteresting for me.

Its no lie Asuka was toxic for the rest of the protagonists but she was still super interesting and with love and growth to adulthood she could be a great lover herself.

If the story is Rei having 'no personality' and developing one, it is also Asuka's fake personality being destroyed. I don't know what it is with fans being attached to this idea of Asuka despite her degeneration onscreen. Her 'personality' is like glass --it shines brightly and is easily broken.

I don't like Asuka. I also don't hate her, or think she's ugly/not sexable, or a bad character, or unworthy of love or pity. I just don't get what the fans saying shit like above see.

The college degree thing is more of an informed trait. Thermal expansion is the only science she ever goes into, and I'm presuming the degree was to do with physics.

Fluent in English(?), German and Japanese...Sure, I do see your point. But the fact is, she's a terribad pilot and has no feats.

I may be a heretic for saying this but I liked her more in the Rebuilds, even if the last one was pretty meh. If she had that personality and feats to back it up in the original series, I'd sympathise with Asukafriends more.

Meh, just because the accent is off doesnt mean she can't speak English. FFS its her native language and on her debut episode she was using her EVA on german mode or something like that.

From what i read on the english dub they did a better job at giving her more german lines and improved her accent.

Because she's a really well presented and realistic character who perfectly fits NGE and improves it.

>The college degree thing is more of an informed trait. Thermal expansion is the only science she ever goes into, and I'm presuming the degree was to do with physics.

Excuses.

>she's a terribad pilot and has no feats.

This kind of argument is so fucking retarded.
Being an Eva pilot has nothing to do with skill and the fact that Asuka sucks so much proves it (she was trained and still sucks).
The pilots follow NERVs command, so how it's not like piloting is an independent effort.

Rei blows herself up or plays a supporting role.
Shinji is only useful because Unit 01 goes berserk all the time.
Asuka gets fucked up because the plot demands it.

This is why anime and manga will never have quality storytelling. Fags like you only appreciate characters for their moe factor and how likely they would be to kiss your fat, pasty, acne-ridden ass. You treat anime series solely as repositories for potential waifus to fap to.

What's your interpretation behind Rei "a women that never bleeds" quote?

I immediately linked it to menstruation since Shinji had related her to motherhood before.

Later in the series we see Asuka angsty because of her period and that rambling about why does she have to feel that pain when she doesnt even want kids.

In conclusion i think that there is a dualism here: Rei wants to be a mother but can't. Asuka doesnt wan't to but she still has to suffer like one.

And finally i think Gendo made Rei sterile so that he could literally have sex with her (as a replacement for Yui) without any problems.

Because Rei is the more interesting character between those you listed. She's actually got better development of them too, and contrary to popular Asuka fan belief, she's not a puppet.

Asuka is the only character you can legit call a puppet in NGE.
>>
90% of the posters here obviously didn't watch evangelion recently, and only remember the characters as the community describes them or they completely missed all the character development. In case of Rei Ayanami, she is not a emotionless doll, that people make her out to be. In her introduction episode, she shows that she has no social skills whatsoever, but she does show emotions. She is very competent, professional and quite philosophical. She doesn't talk much, but the few things she says have meaning. She wasn't supposed to be human, She is just a fake soul in a fake body. But that did not stop her from developing a personality and individuality trough her interactions with people other than Gendou. She has by far the most interesting character development throughout the show (rivaling Misato and Shinji).

,,No, I am me. I became myself by the instrumentality of the links and relationships between myself and others. I am formed by interaction of others. They create me as I create them. These relationships and interactions serve to shape the patterns of my heart and mind.''

,,Those are bonds?''

,,Yes. That is the name for what I share with those who have created the thing known as rei. That is what will continue to shape me.''

Even if you think Asuka is a bad character just because she was toxic and counterproductive (which makes no sense at all) you gotta admit she was a great addition to the plot.

She knows more about how the world works when compared to the other children, but she's not socially adept. This is why Rei can lecture both Shinji and Asuka on the overarching things that matter, but she can't respond well to a social situation.

Understanding is a strong suit of Rei, and it's why Rei is able to pick up on the moods of those around her.

All Asukafags are strikingly similar to that guy. He just takes it to extremes. He's been banned more times than I can count, yet still keeps coming back.

In all Asukafags you'll find the same sort of internalized denial towards the canon of the anime, concerning who the characters are. Mind you, if everyone was as bad as Asukafags, you'd have 500+post threads every day for the next 20 years about how shit Asuka is, because NGE really does have ammunition to fuel those kind of people forever.

>>139008034
Not to the plot, but to the story perhaps. The problem is that Asuka fans generally deny what sort of character Asuka actually is, because they're shallow waifu-fags. Even those who pretend to be rather high-brow and well-read on the character eventually hit a brick wall where they simply can't accept just how toxic Asuka is.

At that point, being "a great addition to story/plot" means nothing because arguably, other characters like Misato and Rei are far more important and well-made in that regard. So they realize they've been left with nothing and then butthurt commences.

This "all asukafags" thing is pissing me off, you're like those women who say all man are stupid.

Dont forget Asuka wanted to befriend Rei at start, but she couldn't. Since she couldn't do it before getting pride damaged she couldn't keep trying, and ultimately had a breakdown, she hated everyone but mainly herself.

Maybe the reason why i like Asuka so much is that i totally relate to her. (Yes, im also a little toxic sometimes, but not as much as the meme guy.)

Also Asuka had the most badass scene in the entire series (her fight in EoE).

That's what I meant with "right next to".

>What's so great about Reis development?
Because it's well-founded, believable and well-executed. It doesn't just concern her warming up, it also concerns her taking steps to understand herself, partly due to the experiences she has with other people in her life. It's nicely detailed and has her reach a conclusion by the end of the series. Not just any conclusion, but _the_ conclusion also reflected in Shinji by the end, only Rei came to that conclusion by herself, and realistically!

This sort of strong character arc is something that e.g Asuka simply doesn't have. When you speak of "emotional rollercoaster", you're just talking about how loud Asuka screams. That isn't character development. Despite wailing like a struck pig, Asuka remains static as a character for nearly the entire show, and even the end for that character is poor.

Doesn't have to be a Reifag. The eva-fanbase is huge enough for it to not necessarily be one.

I disagree, that fight HAD to happen because Shinji didnt want to pilot the eva and it showed that Asuka had an epifany about Unit-02 having part of her mother soul.

This epifany is also why Asuka could come back alive at the end of the movie.

>Best character development right next to Shinji.

Shinji, Rei and Misato have the best character development in the series.

Gendou, Ritsuko, Asuka, Fuyutsuki and to a lesser extent Kaiji, Naoko, Kaworu, Toji and Yui all have really good character development, even if some of their motives are revealed a bit late.

The kids from school, Seele guys, Asuka's mom, Maya, Makoto and Shigeru (Although they are an interesting freudian trio and a human counterpart to the Magi) have the least character development.

Not that guy, and while he's being rather coarse about it, he is more or less right. While the scene is cool (as is every single scene in EoE IMO), how it's started and justified is really, really poor.

For Asuka's character, it's more that she's treated like a puppet to the plot. The epiphany isn't as much an epiphany as a EVA02 freebie.

While epiphanies are self-created and is borne from your own mind, Asuka's moment here is definitely bestowed upon her by EVA02, and arguably the other main characters. Most notably Misato, who had the sense to care for Asuka and carry her into the EVA.

Asuka was a real character. She felt like an emotional teenage girl.

Rei is nothing more than a plot device. A clone, a doll; replaceable. Inhuman. Shameless.
Her clear lack of personality is perfect for man-children to project their own personality over.
The only people who act like Rei are catatonic Schizophrenics.

If you are unable to at least see the appeal of liking Asuka over Rei based on their personalities alone, then you likely are unable to associate with actual human beings that have an ego.

Reifag here. You are objectively wrong.

>Asuka is provably one of the most useless and arguably one of the most counterproductive protagonists of the last 30 years.

This is a dumb hyperbole. What makes her character interesting is her goal to be the best, when life literally goes out of its way to keep her from that, and how she copes with that concept of inferiority.

>She never does anything for herself and constantly drags Shinji, Rei, and Misato down.

False. If you remember when the episode when they fought the Angel that could split in half, Misato was going to have Rei and Shinji pair up. But rather than letting herself get tossed aside, she trained harder to better synchronize with him.

Otherwise, provide evidence.

>If you are an Asukafag you're either waifuing the Asuka from that ebin fanfic doujin all Asukafriends take as canon or are just in it for that tight plugsuit ass.

Red Herring. This has nothing to do with Asuka's character. You call out Asukafags for considering it canon yet you bring it into the discussion just for cheap shots.

>She's an awful, dishonest, weak character with a toxic personality and a shitty demeanor

You'll have to explain further

>If you like her, it's purely for her looks and character design.

I like Asuka for more reasons than that. Particularly her struggle to prove her worth, and her struggle with maturity.

>At least Rei would die for you.

If you paid attention to her character in EoE this wouldn't apply. Even talking about the original series, she would probably only die for Gendoh.

Otherwise, provide evidence she would die for you.

>Asuka would kill you if it made mommy happy.

No she wouldn't. While failing to gain the approval of her mother was a critical point in her life, to take that desire to the extent you portrayed is downright silly.

Otherwise, provide evidence she would.

I would like to discuss further if you did more to prove your points.

Rei was an actual character, with potential for growth.She was the obvious heroine of the story, and was Shinji's counterpart.
All Asuka was an exercise in emotional abuse. Anyone who identified or admired her is not well in the head, and their ramblings should be taken with a huge grain of salt.
>>
>>139009182
>Just like Asuka is.
The last bit of her character remains rather shallow and unfinished, so no.

>Like? How does NGE present that?
On multiple levels, first through interacting with others and drawing surprise -> formulating what to do. Classic example with Shinji is him showing kindness, Rei pondering about what it meant otherwise.

We've got monologues like in ep14, and we get straight to the point in ep 25, where Rei in literal terms explains how a person changes over time and through interaction.

>By herself you mean that it only happened because of Shinji?
By herself I mean that Rei is the one drawing the conclusions, not Shinji for Rei, or through any other external means.

>I'm talking about how she tries to be strong and has unrealistic expectations because she's traumatized and struggles meeting those expectations.
Said trauma and development is entirely undeveloped. Her life is for the most part a blank.

>If you seriously believe that you are fucking dumb.
Not a good argument, anon. I believe it because that's what the anime presents to you. Asuka as a character doesn't go through any notable character development, that is the reason why she fails and Rei does not.

Asuka wanting Shinji's dick wasn't based on romance. It was her version of coping with the stress of being an Eva pilot and her mom's death, coupled with teenager hormones. She wanted love from somebody and Shinji was in the best position to give it to her.
Unfortunately, Shinji wasn't willing to put out due to his own emotional needs and limitations.

Reifag or not, you're the one who's wrong here.

When that anon claims she's the most useless and the most counterproductive, you stating what makes her "interesting" doesn't counter what he said in any way whatsoever.

Then this:
>False. If you remember when the episode when they fought the Angel that could split in half, Misato was going to have Rei and Shinji pair up. But rather than letting herself get tossed aside, she trained harder to better synchronize with him.

Doesn't actually counter his claim, but is evidence of the opposite! Because she didn't manage to synchronize with Shinji on her own like the anon suggested, Misato had to bluff bringing in Rei instead (who could do the synchronization fine), and thus force Asuka to retreat in shame. Only after much convincing does she actually agree.

She did drag Shinji, Rei and Misato down here. They had to drag her up.

>Red Herring. This has nothing to do with Asuka's character. You call out Asukafags for considering it canon yet you bring it into the discussion just for cheap shots.
He's right in mentioning it, as it's true no matter how "cheap" it feels. It's Asuka fans who are cheap overvaluing literal h-doujins over the real Asuka.

>Otherwise, provide evidence she would.
She'd kill herself and do anything for her mother to not abandon her, her own words in a 22 flashback.

>Otherwise, provide evidence she would die for you.
I can only assume he is speaking of the characters as-if they were real and relating to a real person, with their current traits. It's a bit of rhetoric that when consider, checks out as right. Rei does choose to die for Shinji and the rest in ep 23, by her own choice.

Not that guy, but you're definitely wrong in all of this.

>Asuka was a real character. She felt like an emotional teenage girl.

Just like Rei is a real character by feeling like a downtrodden and abused teenage girl.

But unlike Asuka, Rei does have solid and progressive development throughout the show that doesn't solely hinge on a flashback, nor does Rei work entirely on sympathy from the viewer. She also has by far the best ending and conclusion to her character. Asuka doesn't really have a true conclusion to her character.

So while yes, some like pretty redhead noisemakers and others prefer short-haired quiet qts, when comparing the two as character or people, Rei comes out far better.

In the opening of NgE, there is a red split second image showing kaworu.

So I was watching death & rebirth and I noticed something weird and interesting. in the scene where Naoko was strangling Rei I, you can see the same red image of kaworu reflected upside down in Rei's eyes, and after that, the image makes a split second appearance. what was that all about? Was there some meaning behind it? Or was it just another troll Easter egg that Anno dropped in there, like the creepy backwards quote that the dummy plug says in the rebuild movie?

Not that guy but here's the million dollar question:
Why bitch that Rei would be willing to die then?

That said, Asuka doesn't have that sort of moral set or thinking. She just goes full frantic bitch and stops being rational, she's been willing to die in the magma, she's been willing to run pointlessly at Zeruel and die, and she's just curled up like a ball against Arael while exclaiming that she'd rather die than get into a better position. Which would mean everyone dies.

Rei doesn't need to be told, she'll do it herself.

What? Remember Asuka tried to befriend Rei and Shinji but couldnt do it? And how she got progressively more desesperate because she couldn't prove her worth? And how she fantasized about Kaji and got hurt because her Guardian had a healthy relationship with him while she got rejected over and over?

>She also has by far the best ending and conclusion to her character. Asuka doesn't really have a true conclusion to her character.
What? She was in deep depression because of all the twists in her life and after being mind raped by the angel, then she finds out her mom counsciousness is in the Eva and it was always protecting her, giving her strenght to beat a shitton of mass produced eva's, that by itself is an amazing ending but we still got a cherry on top: She became the Eva who would repopulate the human race with Shinji, Adam.

Also her response to getting strangled by Shinji was caressing his face, she loved him but refused to show it, specially without being able to show him her worthiness first and being praised. At the end of the series her heart was finally opened and thats why she says she finally understands the AT Field.

How so?
I could say the same thing about Rei.

>a person changes over time and through interaction.

Asuka doesn't have that simple linear development but there's actually conflict when she interacts with people. She doesn't really change much but she doesn't need to because she is well established and her interactions are interesting. It's exactly the same with Shinji.

>By herself I mean that Rei is the one drawing the conclusions

How is that impressive? Things happen to her, she changes and makes a decision, phenomenal.

>Said trauma and development is entirely undeveloped.

The trauma is made very clear, even throughout the series, mind rape and episode 25 and made perfect sense when considering her personality.
The development is in the same way undeveloped that Reis is undeveloped in EoE. It's short and subtle and only makes sense when considering what we learn in NGE.

>Her life is for the most part a blank.

Same goes for every other character.

>Asuka as a character doesn't go through any notable character development

Doesn't make her a bad or worse character.

And how she fantasized about Kaji and got hurt because her Guardian had a healthy relationship with him while she got rejected over and over?

Not character development. Asuka doesn't change herself. Her character remains static, it doesn't take in those events and change the character. Asuka at ep 8 would react the same, think the same, do the same.

>What? She was in deep depression because of all the twists in her life and after being mind raped by the angel, then she finds out her mom counsciousness is in the Eva and it was always protecting her, giving her strenght to beat a shitton of mass produced eva's, that by itself is an amazing ending but we still got a cherry on top:

Here's the problem. First you start of by trying to create sympathy for Asuka, a character who literally has it better than any other of the two child pilots. Not going to work, and it's not even an argument in the first place.

We're talking about her character, not how hard your sympathy-dick is for her.

>Also her response to getting strangled by Shinji was caressing his face, she loved him but refused to show it, specially without being able to show him her worthiness first and being praised. At the end of the series her heart was finally opened and thats why she says she finally understands the AT Field.
>She became the Eva who would repopulate the human race with Shinji, Adam.

So shipper fanwank is somehow a good ending? Notice how none of that is properly dealt with or developed in NGE. It's in your head.

As a fact, Asuka's ending is so shit that people have to fanwank something in.

>>
>>139010908
>How so?
>I could say the same thing about Rei.
You couldn't. I could because I backed that up.

>Asuka doesn't have that simple linear development
Actually, Asuka's development is 100% linear. One hundred percent, from start to finish.

Problem is that Asuka is an incomplete or failed character.

>How is that impressive? Things happen to her, she changes and makes a decision, phenomenal.
It is phenomenal. It means her character pushes it's own meaning, it's own life, it is something by itself. Not like Asuka, who is merely a foil, a plot device. This is what makes Rei feel like an alive character, while Asuka is merely a reactionary object. A real person thinks, feels and changes, something Rei does but Asuka doesn't.

>Same goes for every other character.
Not for every character, and it's only important for Asuka considering she is weighted entirely in her past. She lacks development "today" because of "yesterday". When the time inbetween is not detailed, we have a cheap-shot character.

>Doesn't make her a bad or worse character.

>Doesn't make her a bad or worse character either.
It makes Rei better.

>implying he was right
His interpretation or fanfiction concerning something that EoE didn't show or express, is not valid for Asuka's character. Just imagine what mountains you can add on top of Misato, Rei, Gendo etc... if you fanwank as much. Asuka still loses to the rest in terms of character.

It's not about whether or not he personally "liked" the ending, as people can very well like poor endings. As for Asuka's character, it was a shitty ending because it ended by more or less handwaving her entire buildup for a cheap shonen-esqeue powerup.

Then it turns out she's only the plot-device for Shinji to scream. WOOPS!
>>
>>139010959
She didnt say it like that, it was something like "anyone can come back if they believe in the selves in their heart".

The way i interpreted this was that while any human hipotetically had the power to come back, only Shinji and Asuka managed to do it because of how pilotting the evas and all those events in their life affected their psyches.

We dont see any other human so the ending is ambiguous, but this interpretation fits nicely with the christianity references.

It's only as pointless as you make it, you can have great discussions about characters provided you do it fairly. As for Asuka and Rei, I rarely get to discuss those two but it's different from discussing them online since there's just that many more asuka fan autists out there hiding.

While bringing up a scene in NGE is OK for someone not autistic, it's not for the regular Asuka fag autist.

If Reis decision in EoE isn't shallow, I don't know what is.
She chooses to betray Gendo and grant Shinji his wish because Gendo was using her and Shinji was nice to her. That's some complex shit.

>Actually, Asuka's development is 100% linear.

Not exactly, she does a 180 in EoE and isn't such a stiff character like Rei so it's not even a big problem.
Rei's development just goes into one direction and all her actions make that pretty obvious.
While other NGE characters are have very 3dimensional personalities and are affected by their surrounding, Rei isn't. I'm not saying that Rei has no personality here, Rei simply does not have the same amount of complexity to her character and in her interactions, since it's all build around her development. Making her development good but the overall character shallow. With Asuka, it's arguably the opposite, I realize that.

Holy shit this is hilarious. I wrote my response each phrase at a time and didn't read you whole reply.

It's really funny.
Rei feels anything like an alive character honestly. Maybe autistic people think so.
Just look at the way she lives, how she talks to people. Is that what people do?

>Asuka, who is merely a foil, a plot device

Anon do you know what a plot device is?
If anything, Rei is closer to a plot device because she literally exists to pilot 00 and make instrumentality happen in EoE.

Sure doesn't, not in the way I wrote here:

> Asuka doesn't change herself. Her character remains static, it doesn't take in those events and change the character.

Quote the entire thing next time. The problem with said scene is that it more or less makes her entire character development exist because of a plot device. EoE abandons Asuka and makes her a plot device.

>Subjective. Rei has it the worst though.
Entirely unsubjective, although yes, Rei has it the worst. Asuka being weak and poor to handle adversity doesn't mean she has it worse.

>Reminder that retarded fans have nothing to do with the quality of the show or Asukas character.
Reminder that Asuka's ending being incomplete and poor is the point here, not that the fans of Asuka are retarded.
>>
>>139011161
>A real person thinks, feels and changes, something Rei does but Asuka doesn't.

That's just plain wrong and you know it.
When Asuka asks Rei to be her friend Rei doesn't seem to think or feel anything of it, while Asuka clearly does.
Or when Asuka kisses Shinji, she's clearly thinking about him and sex and what not, like a normal teenager. I'm not saying she loves him, don't misunderstand.

>and it's only important for Asuka considering she is weighted entirely in her past.

Not true. You could say the same thing about Shinji or Rei. Without their pasts and background their actions would have less meaning.

>She lacks development "today" because of "yesterday".

That's the point. It shows how it affects her and what kind of person she is. That adds detail to her character.

>It makes her worse.
>It makes Rei better.

If Gendo beats Kaji in a fistfight, is he the better character?

You are basically saying that because Rei is "stronger" (which is bullshit because they are fundamentally different so comparing them that way is dumb) she's the better character?
>>
>>139012153
lol people give you facts that prove how asuka chardev is actually good and your replies are always "Actually no, she is just plot device because i say so, asuka ending was poor and that means her entire character was fail".

>>
>>139012001
>If Reis decision in EoE isn't shallow, I don't know what is.
Okay, then you don't know what is shallow. Makes sense why you're more or less wrong about everything then.

Rei's decision in EoE is based on the developments found in the series, which has been leading up to that. It's not simply a decision being made right there and then. Rei has, like a real person, been constantly evaluating her position and relationship, till she's making a "final" conclusion that changes everything. A great character, not a static puppet like Asuka.

>Not exactly, she does a 180 in EoE and isn't such a stiff character like Rei so it's not even a big problem.
Doing a 180, a 90 or a full 360 doesn't mean it's not linear. Linear development simply means it happens linearly, from A to Z, in order. Which is normal, and Rei's development is actually less linear in practice (but still considered linear). When Rei "loses" development through dying and memory loss, we've set a bit back in time, meaning we're no longer developing linearly.

That 180 of Asuka is undeveloped and shallow.

>While other NGE characters are have very 3dimensional personalities and are affected by their surrounding, Rei isn't. I'm not saying that Rei has no personality here, Rei simply does not have the same amount of complexity to her character and in her interactions
Sure she does, you're pretending they're not there. Rei is more affected by her surroundings than you realize, and you seem to mistake the amount of noise a character makes with how much it's affected. A typical anime otaku mistake, who needs exaggerated facial expressions to underestand character.

>Rei feels anything like an alive character honestly. Maybe autistic people think so.
Autistic people think Asuka is real.

Rei acts like an alive character, and yes, her extreme downer mood is part of that.

I'll admit, I could be wrong on some things, so let me clear stuff up.

>When that anon claims she's the most useless and the most counterproductive, you stating what makes her "interesting" doesn't counter what he said in any way whatsoever.

Just for comparison, think about every time someone hates Shinji because he's whiny and cries all the time. While these facts are true, they are a shallow way of looking at the character. While I do not think Asuka is counterproductive and useless, even if she was, such a claim is an equally shallow perspective. And to claim she is the most useless and counterproductive protagonist in the last 30 years? There are worse protagonists to the point I don't even know where to begin.

>Misato had to bluff bringing in Rei instead (who could do the synchronization fine), and thus force Asuka to retreat in shame. Only after much convincing does she actually agree.

But that doesn't make much sense. Then why not just use Rei and Shinji in the first place to attack the angel while it was still regenerating, rather than taking the risk of fighting the angel at max capacity on top of the possibility that maybe Asuka couldn't get ready in time?

>He's right in mentioning it, as it's true no matter how "cheap" it feels. It's Asuka fans who are cheap overvaluing literal h-doujins over the real Asuka.

I wouldn't lump in the fans that understand Asuka from the series canon with "fans" that take their understanding from noncanon material.

>She'd kill herself and do anything for her mother to not abandon her, her own words in a 22 flashback.

True, but assuming that the anon earlier was talking in the context of Asuka killing someone close like Shinji, much like how you mentioned Rei self-destructing for Shinji, I don't see the motive outside of killing someone other than herself.

>Rei does choose to die for Shinji and the rest in ep 23, by her own choice.

Then you remember the Rei that developped through the series was Rei 2, who died on episode 23.

The one who makes the decision in EoE is Rei 3 which didnt have the same experiences as Rei 2, thats why she tried to break Gendo glasses almost immediately after being brought to the world instead of valueing them like a symbol of her idol and saviour.
>>
>>139012474
I thought it was pretty interesting regarding stuff like Kaji's backstory but I really wish Asuka was given more focus.
>>
>>139012288
>That's just plain wrong and you know it.
It's correct and you know it.

If Asuka demands (not asks) to be "Rei's friend", that has nothing to say with what a real, live person does. Asuka doesn't reflect, she doesn't change or do anything based on that. Asuka is merely, Asuka.
A static. She is the same toxic person as before, without even the slightest hint at understanding or internal thought.
Her behavior stays the same.

>Not true. You could say the same thing about Shinji or Rei. Without their pasts and background their actions would have less meaning.
You couldn't, because Shinji's past and Rei's past do not define them entirely. Shinji and Rei are like explained earlier, characters that are more alive, more real because they live in the now. They're constantly changing, evaluating and living. Asuka is Asuka because of her "past", one event and that's that.

Asuka is a one-trick pony that's shallow as hell. Rei's past scarred her, but as you can see she's constantly moving on despite showing clear signs of carrying it with her. The same is true for Shinji.

This is part of the reason why Rei and Shinji are able to have such great character arcs, while Asuka remains a plot device.

>That's the point. It shows how it affects her and what kind of person she is. That adds detail to her character.
No it means she's a one-trick-pony. See above.

>If Gendo beats Kaji in a fistfight, is he the better character?
It makes Gendo a better fistfighter.

This isn't about who's stronger physically, or mentally, but the stronger character. So while Rei is superior to Asuka in strength, that's not the point. It's the fact that Rei's character is well rounded enough to actually have a conclusion that she's better. A real conclusion, not a fanwanked one.
>>
>>139012531
She actually does. In NGE, memories are contained in the soul, and Rei II and Rei III have the same soul. (Rei III's soul may be more complete than Rei II's but it's still Lilith's soul either way.)

>While these facts are true, they are a shallow way of looking at the character
No, because those facts aren't true. He does not cry all the time, and he does not whine all the time.

The facts are, concerning Asuka, is that she is the MOST counterproductive and the MOST useless of the characters. She is in fact, so useless and counterproductive that it is entirely fair and accurate to characterize her as such. I and anyone who knows Evangelion can show to dozens of scenes where her character is making things worse for everyone included.

>But that doesn't make much sense.
It makes sense because Misato literally says that was her plan. EVA00 is out of commission. You don't know Evangelion enough to comment. I don't even think you're a Reifag.

>I wouldn't lump in the fans that understand Asuka from the series canon with "fans" that take their understanding from noncanon material.
They are the fans. You're not lumping anyone in.

>True, but assuming that the anon earlier was talking in the context of Asuka killing someone close like Shinji, much like how you mentioned Rei self-destructing for Shinji, I don't see the motive outside of killing someone other than herself.
The motive is getting her mother's attention, which you agreed to. End story.

Just so you know, people do in fact do things like this, especially precocious teenagers who think they're doing introverted people a favor.
But in case you didn't notice, she does change her stance toward Rei after this. She gets a bit aggressive and starts referring to her as the commander's pet, but through some of the middle episodes the two do form a sort of semi-hostile, but functional relationship. Asuka even lets Rei choose where to eat after the Sahquiel battle. So there's certainly some sort of progression.

>You are telling me that Asuka says static and is the same all throughout but Rei isn't because... why?
Because we're discussing their characters, and their development.

Rei's decision to wreck Gendo was built up throughout the entire anime series. Lo and behold, Rei does what she pondered about doing.

Asuka's decision to fight was not built up in any way whatsoever. She had become broken, and was empowered by EVA02, by being given something by an external. Her mothers love was given to her from beyond the grave. There isn't much development her in her character, she is the exact same Asuka only now she's getting what she wants, meaning her mood changes.

She then dies, fittingly.

>They could leave out Asukas fight in EoE and nothing would change.
>It's not a plot device
The Lance of Longinus descends due to Shinji's reaction to Asuka's death. Merely a plot device, put in a fight she was never to win.

But for the record, it's part pandering (throwing up a big fight involving Asuka for the fans), and a plot device for the aforementioned reasons..

>She and Shinji are pretty much on the same level.
Shinji is far better. Name one time Shinji went into a coma and was chained to a hospital bed because he couldn't handle life. Never, that's when. Shinji > Asuka.

Real people say "no" to that as well. They also say "yes".
That a bitchy teenager might act like Asuka doesn't touch the point I'm making. It's not relevant.

Because the point is that a real live person has a mental process well as an external process. With Asuka, we get the same, static external process, her mental process is more or less non-existent while it's there for e.g Shinji, Misato and Rei.

A real person also changes, adapts and considers, something Asuka does not. She is a static foil, a plot device, not a real character. No matter how loud her voice actor screams.

>But in case you didn't notice, she does change her stance toward Rei after this
She really doesn't, she was always aggressive, this "convenient friendship demand" also being, like you suggested in your own post, aggressive.

No, her behavior varies.
Mid-series she's somewhat nice. She compliments Shinji when she learns that he plays Cello. I posted an image earlier where she compliments Rei for being poetic or something.
Later in the series, when her performance as a pilot gets worse and she has her period she is more aggressive and angry, take the elevator scene as an example.

>Shinji's past and Rei's past do not define them entirely.

Except they do. Shinji is the way he is because dady issues and Rei because she was raised by scientists in a dark room.

>Rei's past scarred her, but as you can see she's constantly moving on despite showing clear signs of carrying it with her. The same is true for Shinji.

Asukas past also scarred her, just in a different way.
At this point you are just saying that Rei is better because she handles the situation better.
Shinji is just as much of a piece of shit as Asuka after killing Kaworu.

>No it means she's a one-trick-pony. See above

Fuck off, it's well written, if you though about it for a moment instead of spouting words like one-trick-pony and plot device you would understand.

>It's the fact that Rei's character is well rounded enough to actually have a conclusion that she's better.

That wasn't the point.
You were saying that Rei is better because she has the potential to become a better person and learn, while Asuka just spirals down. Both are in character, as is Asukas final development in EoE and if you can't accept that you are just delusional.

You didn't prove it wrong. There's no proof in your post, no evidence or even argumentation as to the contrary. There's been numerous examples ITT as to how Asuka is counterproductive and useless.

She is in fact the only pilot to be replaced because she can't pilot.
She endangers NERV and herself pointlessly on numerous occasions, almost handing the victory to the Angels. When she's refusing to think tactically against Arael, charging Zeruel or stopping to show off whenever she slices an Angel (Israfel fight), she's being extremely counterproductive.

You didn't prove anything whatsoever. I did. You got butthurt.
>>
>>139010807
>Why bitch that Rei would be willing to die then?

I was bitching?


Asuka's Arael and Zeruel fights were her more desperate fights, since those were when she was at her lowest point, which can be seen in her poor decision making. But in magmadiver, she was in a better state of mind since it was still earlier in the series.

>>
90% of the posters here obviously didn't watch evangelion recently, and only remember the characters as the community describes them or they completely missed all the character development. In case of Rei Ayanami, she is not a emotionless doll, that people make her out to be. In her introduction episode, she shows that she has no social skills whatsoever, but she does show emotions. She is very competent, professional and quite philosophical. She doesn't talk much, but the few things she says have meaning. She wasn't supposed to be human, She is just a fake soul in a fake body. But that did not stop her from developing a personality and individuality trough her interactions with people other than Gendou. She has by far the most interesting character development throughout the show (rivaling Misato and Shinji).

,,No, I am me. I became myself by the instrumentality of the links and relationships between myself and others. I am formed by interaction of others. They create me as I create them. These relationships and interactions serve to shape the patterns of my heart and mind.''

,,Those are bonds?''

,,Yes. That is the name for what I share with those who have created the thing known as rei. That is what will continue to shape me.''

ok i will repeat myself and the hundreds anons who tried to penetrate your dense skull.

Being counterproductive doesnt make her a bad character, after all she is a edgy 14 y/o who wants to be the best and ends up doing biting more than she can chew.

She was actually useful in various moments of the show, for example the magma dive and the choreography.

And ofc fight scene in EoE, no one fought as well as she did there in the entire series.

>So she's a normal teenage girl?
Even normal teenage girls reflect, all humans do. Asuka doesn't.

>No, her behavior varies.
>examples
Which is all the same behavior for this character. Because she's angry in one moment or happy in another, doesn't show change. When you praise Shinji, you expect him to be happy, and when you scold him, you expect him to be sad. This is situational behavior that, not their behavior as a character.

You're thinking of something different.

>Except they do. Shinji is the way he is because dady issues and Rei because she was raised by scientists in a dark room.
They don't. Shinji had his opinions and changes in the meantime, as did Rei. Rei doesn't keep going back to that dark room, but Asuka keeps going back to her mother. This is what makes Rei the superior character, her character is based on more than a flashback. Rei, Misato and Shinji all live in the current as real characters, while Asuka is the same, mommy-abandoned bitch as she always was.

>Shinji is just as much of a piece of shit as Asuka after killing Kaworu.
Shinji is a hero for killing Kaworu, not a piece of shit.

>Fuck off, it's well written, if you though about it for a moment instead of spouting words like one-trick-pony and plot device you would understand.
It's not poorly written compared to some other anime or works, but she's still an inferior one-trick pony character. Anime is filled with those, Asuka is one with more screentime.

>That wasn't the point.
It was.
>You were saying that Rei is better because she has the potential to become a better person and learn, while Asuka just spirals down.
No, I wasn't. While Rei is a better person and has the potential to become better, it's not the reason. It's because Rei's character shows that process of becoming someone else, someone different. Not for Asuka. She was just herpa-changed through plot magic in EoE to fit the plot.

>being counterproductive doesnt make her a bad character, a
Shut the fuck up.

I was arguing that she was counterproductive. Nothing else. That she's a "Bad character" is a different argument. If you concede the fact that she is, we're done. Asuka is counterproductive and drags everyone else down.

>the EoE fight!
A pointless fight she LOST. Asuka actually made the entire team collapse near the end.

>>139013153
>So are you just going to ignore the actual development I referred to?
There was no actual development you referred to. The incident you refer to didn't happen, you misremembered it. When Misato is taking the kids out to eat, it's not Asukas privilege to chose who goes or who doesn't.

>You know, how Asuka is actually genuinely nice to Rei?
Never happens.

But you apparently have no problem ignoring the actual points I'm making.

>Because the point is that a real live person has a mental process well as an external process. With Asuka, we get the same, static external process, her mental process is more or less non-existent while it's there for e.g Shinji, Misato and Rei.
>A real person also changes, adapts and considers, something Asuka does not. She is a static foil, a plot device, not a real character. No matter how loud her voice actor screams.
>>
>>139012967
>Rei's decision to wreck Gendo was built up throughout the entire anime series.

Not really. That was only really started in episode 24 where she breaks his glasses and episode 25 where she talks about how she's being used and that it actually affects even though she thought it didn't.

Asukas issues with here mother were established around the same time. Earlier even, with the mind rape.

>Her mothers love was given to her from beyond the grave.

Her soul is in the Eva, she's not dead.

>she is the exact same Asuka only now she's getting what she wants

It's well established how impactful it this is, don't pretend it isn't. I mentioned it earlier.

>The Lance of Longinus descends due to Shinji's reaction to Asuka's death.

No it doesn't. Prove it.
Also, Seele mentions how 02 is getting in their way, the fight with the MP Evas was not part of their plan if I remember correctly.

>Rather than referring explicitly to Asuka's end, you refer to fanwank.

Where exactly did I do that?
I even criticized that other guy who did.

>That shows what a poor character Asuka is.

That's like saying, Reifags who call Asuka a tranny show that Rei is a poor character.

Don't connect the fanbase with a shows quality.
It's not the point of the argument and dumb on top of that.

Asuka doesn't do the whole "worthy sacrifice" thing. She just resigns to dying. Her death would mean nothing in the case of Magma Diver, and the other cases would doom all of humanity if the others didn't make up for her death wish.

When Rei plays with death, she's either charging with a bomb to show down the enemy's throat, or holding on to the enemy with the self-destruct button held in. Then Rei can also be clever here and use the fact that she can be literally revived as an excuse to do that, as a last ditch effort.

>Not for Asuka. She was just herpa-changed through plot magic in EoE to fit the plot.
Absolutely not. Regardless of what you think of how well executed you think Asuka's realization is, she's the same person before and after. She's still cocky, overconfident, and a huge showoff, all features that she shows in her early episodes. She's not a new person, she's just lost everything that was inhibiting her.

>>139013542
>Never happens.
The post Sahquiel scene I already mentioned and when she volunteers to tank the acid from Matarael. Also I would argue that there's really not much extensive inner analysis of any of the characters besides Shinji. But I would argue that the change in how she regards people is evidence of an inner change. Her stance toward Shinji changes as well, going from a being that does not need to be regarded, to a rival, to a point of blame. We don't need to actually see character thoughts to know that mental changes occur.

>>
>>139013589
>Not really
Yes really. Even since episode 6, where we get to know Rei's reasons for fighting, she flat out denies it's because of Gendo. Right there, episode six.
When Asuka says that she's Gendo's favorite, Rei is early on stage saying that's not the case. From thereon her development with the others leads to Toji in a mid-series episode to claim that she cares more for Shinji.
Moreover, take the scene where Shinji pops in to Rei's apartment, and does a cleaning. Rei thanks him, embarrased. Later that night, Rei goes through that event and realizes that she's never thanked anyone like that, not even Gendo.

So no, Asuka doesn't actually have jack shit in terms of character development here. You're right that there are moments in episode 24, but there were also moments in earlier episodes like 23, and the one after 24, 25. Where Rei starts crushing Gendo's glasses or claims he's keeping her from doing what she wants.

Way to not get NGE.

>Her soul is in the Eva, she's not dead.
From beyond the grave, through the EVA, same shit. She's being given the temporary "fix" here.

>It's well established how impactful it this is, don't pretend it isn't. I mentioned it earlier.
No one said it wasn't impactful, but it is as a matter of fact not borne of Asuka's character, it's external. It's the same character unchanged, getting something from someone else. Someone pulls her strings like a puppet.

>No it doesn't. Prove it.
It's mentioned in the EoE book, and it's also what you visually observe happens on screen, in that exact order.

>Where exactly did I do that?
Then we agree that even Asuka fans can't come up with a canon ending.

>That's like saying, Reifags who call Asuka a tranny show that Rei is a poor character.
No, it's not even close. You're running out of bullshit.

It's evidence that Asuka's ending is poor, so that the fans have to fanwank.
>>
>>139013863
Well, maybe even "I needed you". I just don't see the point of "I need you" appearing many times if it didn't have such significance.

Well, it's check mate then. Because my point is more or less that, Asuka's "character development" literally does not happen here. There is no real change in character, it's the same character, only now - it's herpa-changed through plot magic to fit the plot.

So there is no real development, no real resolution, only a temporary boost to the same character so it can die for some stuff with a lance to happen, and to please Asuka fans I guess. Then since the point is that it was poorly executed considering the quality of her character, then you bet all of this matters.

>>
>>139013797
>The post Sahquiel scene I already mentioned and when she volunteers to tank the acid from Matarael.

Oh wow. You don't even remember that one.

Asuka fucks up because she doesn't pay attention above, Rei calls out and she misses the queue and makes everyone fall down. Then, it's Rei who volunteers to tank the acid, which would have been fine since anyone could do it. None of the EVA's were required specifically to do any of these tasks, only Rei probably knew she should do the dangerous part because her body can literally take it.

But then, Asuka, wanting to be the hero, interrupst and demands that SHE tanks. If anything, Rei is being nice by letting Asuka have her way, as she's been trying to do the entire episode!

It's even like you forgot that this is the episode where Asuka straight out calls Rei a "bitch" for naturally taking the lead by example.

>Also I would argue that there's really not much extensive inner analysis of any of the characters besides Shinji.
I'd argue that's irrelevant.

>But I would argue that the change in how she regards people is evidence of an inner change.
I would argue that it's not, because her character doesn't change. It's her character, not what she learns that's up for consideration. Asuka doesn't change at all, she has the exact same bitch attitude right until the end.

Asuka has a vast range of behavior, it proves the point that she thinks, feels and changes. That's what I was trying to explain to you.

Your logic is really twisted here. Don't try to hard.

>Asuka keeps going back to her mother.
>her character is based on more than a flashback.

Asukas backstory doesn't get shown until the mind rape if I remember correctly.

Literally Shinji. Also insulting Asuka won't hide the fact that your arguments aren't very good.

>Shinji is a hero for killing Kaworu, not a piece of shit.

If you dumb faggot had a working memory you would know that I was talking about his mental state.
You were claiming that Shinji never got to a such low point as Asuka did.

>It's because Rei's character shows that process of becoming someone else, someone different.

Shallow, linear development doesn't make her a better character just because you can slap the work "Character-Development" on it.

If anything Rei is a one-trick-pony.
All she has going for her is her shallow development. That literally doesn't affect her or anything until she becomes a plot device in EoE.

>You were claiming that Shinji never got to a such low point as Asuka did.
But he didn't.
Shinji doesn't give two shits after killing angel boy.
>>
>>139014152
Nope, not in the same way at all, and yes, it is check mate.

Rei has by that point changed and come to understand, through her own experiences and reflection, what her relationships mean to her. So she's ready to do something about it, and has gradually been doing so over the course of the anime. She's asked herself, and others these questions.

Rei is not simply "Rei" at the end, Rei has done so many things like reconquering her lost legacy by opting to return to Lilith, to gain a new understanding of Shinji and her own emotions, and even to take a stance against the toxic relationship she has with Gendo.

Rei has changed. Asuka in having a happy reaction to seeing her dead mother, has not. Asuka dies anyway after that, so it doesn't matter.

The key difference is that _all_ of Rei's changes happened due to things that occured over the course of the series, bits and pieces she puts together to form a whole picture.

But you could literally remove ALL, and yes, I mean ALL of Asuka's characterization in NGE, from episode 1 to 26, and still have that EoE scene give the exact same impact. It doesn't use any of her previous characterization, as Asuka was always crying for mommy and at any time showing to her would result in that pseudo-development.

This, among so many other things, is why Rei in the original will always be a superior character to Asuka.

>I would argue that it's not, because her character doesn't change. It's her character, not what she learns that's up for consideration. Asuka doesn't change at all, she has the exact same bitch attitude right until the end.
So, anon, I'm just going to do you a favor here, and give you a specific exerpt of my post, explaining how exactly she changes. Not her personality, people's personalities tend not to change, but specifically how her opinion and inner thoughts toward Shinji change over the course of the series. Unless you can give me a specific reason as to why this isn't change, I'm going to assume that you're just trolling or seriously delusional. Here goes.

>Her stance toward Shinji changes as well, going from a being that does not need to be regarded, to a rival, to a point of blame.

Are you joking? You need to see Asuka breakdown and bond with her as a character before you can care about her scene in EoE.
>>
>>139014211
>That's simply not true and you know it.
All humans reflect, think and live. All. Otherwise, they wouldn't be humans. They would be characters, like Asuka. Humans aren't 2D, they're 3D. Asuka is 2D, even for 2D.

>Asuka has a vast range of behavior, it proves the point that she thinks, feels and changes. That's what I was trying to explain to you.
Having a vast range of behavior is entirely inconsequential to what we're discussing here. Only action and existing material can show the behavior I'm speaking of.

It's not that my logic is twisted, you just twist yourself trying to evade it.

>Asukas backstory doesn't get shown until the mind rape if I remember correctly.
Yes, exactly, which is supposed to validate her entire character. Hell, even early on she mentions in a cliche manner worthy of fanfiction to Misato. "You know of my dark past, right?".

>You were claiming that Shinji never got to a such low point as Asuka did.
He never did, he went low, but not low enough to literally undress himself naked in a bathtub and attempt to commit suicide in it, only to become entirely motionless and locked to a hospital bed.
Even though going through so much more than Asuka ever did. Shinji is strong compared to Asuka.

>Shallow, linear development doesn't make her a better character just because you can slap the work "Character-Development" on it.
>If anything Rei is a one-trick-pony.
>All she has going for her is her shallow development. That literally doesn't affect her or anything until she becomes a plot device in EoE.

So Rei is worse because she's got the character development Asuka doesn't? Gotcha. Yep, really.

The whole point is that Rei's development is better pulled off, more consistent, and better tied in with an actual ending. Like it or not, that makes a better character.

Because the way it is experienced or shown is entirely external, and in itself can't be attributed to a character change in Asuka.
Much in the way that if Asuka loved ice cream, and if you told her ice cream was made of poop and she believed you, her change towards ice cream wouldn't really mean a change in her character.

What we define as "character" is so much more fundamental than just putting on a different bitch attitude, which is what you're describing.
Asuka either dismisses, bitches about or blames Shinji based only on the situation, some times all at once. It's for the same fundamental reason, her character is unable to introspect. Until she is able to do that, she remains static, regardless if she's on her period or not.

Asuka's "development" there is so inconsequential to her character that anyone can't readily say what it actually did. We could for a fact ignore her entire character,just like I said, because the fact that she "misses mommy" is explained in EoE.

This isn't just about you being a waifufaggot for Asuka. This isn't about your heart bleeding for a spoiled redheaded brat you want to sexually abuse. This is about character, specifically Asuka's character and how EoE just didn't bother developing Asuka, but just gave her a powerup and some leeway for autists to write fanfiction.

For waifufags such as yourself, that might be great. But critically, this character development if you can even call it that, is melodramatic garbage.

>>139014535
Nice butthurt, autistic Asukafag.
>>
>>139014617
>Because the way it is experienced or shown is entirely external,
That's patently untrue though. A change in how she understands Shinji is, by definition, an internal change.
Unless you're talking about changes in external situations leading to internal changes. Because that applies to everyone in the entire world, and every character in Eva. People don't just change their entire outlook on life on a whim unless they experience some sort of life changing event.
>>
>>139014713
Nice projection. I keep to the facts, I recite the canon, you act butthurt with reaction images. I wonder what happened in your life that you're overdependent on your ginger waifu.

This isn't amateur hour, this is character analysis and understanding. If the fact that Asuka is bad in a multitude of ways hurts you, maybe it's time to grow up.
>>
>>139014793
>That's patently untrue though. A change in how she understands Shinji is, by definition, an internal change.
It's patently true, because Evangelion and other works of fiction has the power to show internal change directly, as well as the process of it. We have numerous such internal scenes in NGE, merely showing thoughts or some times through abstract representations of their mind. A wide range, in other words.

Then again, like pointed out, this change in attitude towards Shinji is not showing an internal change in Asuka's character. It's the same Asuka, still being a bitch, only now for a different situation.
>>
>>139014746
And Misato's character can be traced back to "why did Daddy save me." And Shinji's can be traced back to "why did Dad abandon me." And Gendo's can be traced back to "why did Yui leave me?" Are you starting to see a pattern yet?
>>
>>139013941
All those examples you made is part of her development or just clarifies the relationships.
It doesn't foreshadow the betrayal.

>Way to not get NGE.

I mentioned Rei crushing the glasses like an hour ago you dumb nigga.

>From beyond the grave, through the EVA, same shit.

It's not because we know souls are inside the Eva from scenes with Yui and Shinji. So it's not just some magic bullshit but a part of the story that was established early on.

>It's mentioned in the EoE book, and it's also what you visually observe happens on screen, in that exact order.

Rewatched the scene and it seems to me like tha Lance came back because Eva 01 awakened. Gendo says so and 01 clearly behaves differently, even before Shinji sees Asuka. Also which book?

>Then we agree that even Asuka fans can't come up with a canon ending.

Why are your arguments always so out of context?

>>
>>139014793
I think you messed up here, Asuka never understands Shinji. She never understands anyone, not even herself until instrumentality forces her to.

This lack of self-insight, this lack of internal character is one of the things that make Asuka into a poor character. This is by intention, for she is just a foil to other character, she's something that they can reflect on.
>>
>>139014906
Gendo isn't considered a well-developed character, are you starting to see a pattern here with Asuka?
Misato is more than just "why did daddy save me", it ranges from various relationships with men, a hatred for Angels and a need to know the truth. None of this kind of diversity found in Asuka.

Asuka might not be the worst character in the anime, but she's not the best or even close either. There's many good characters in NGE, but Asuka isn't that close to the top.
>>
>>139014887
>We have numerous such internal scenes in NGE, merely showing thoughts or some times through abstract representations of their mind.
Oh, you know, scenes that are triggered by shit like
>Being absorbed by an angel and nearly dying
>Being absorbed by Unit-01
>Being absorbed by GNR and experiencing Instrumentality
>Getting mind raped by an angel
>Getting regular raped by an angel
And so on and so forth. These are traumatic events that trigger character changes. If you're expecting Asuka to turn into a wholly different person, I'm sorry to disappoint but people's personalities don't really change unless they experience traumatic brain injury.

>>139014955
I'm referring to personal understanding, not actually understanding someone on a deep, emotional level.

>>139015001
And all of those character traits Misato has can be traced back to her father and being saved at the South Pole.
Besides that Asuka has similar traits such as her need to impress others and her attraction to Kaji that are related to her abandonment complex.
>>
>>139014920
>All those examples you made is part of her development or just clarifies the relationships.
It does both, and therefore, as I claimed, it's part of her development. Like you said. It's an ongoing development that is clarifying, changing and even interesting to the viewer.
So yes, it does foreshadow betrayal when her appraisal of Gendo keeps going down.

>I said her momy issues were established around that time, learn to fucking read.
I can read, and let me repeat:
Asuka doesn't actually have jack shit in terms of character development here.

>citation needed.
Really? The bit where Rei dies against Armisael, comes back, starts to break Gendo's glasses doesn't ring a bell?
>hrr i mentioned it
Good job forgetting it within the span of an hour then, retard. That's ep 23.

>It's not because we know souls are inside the Eva from scenes with Yui and Shinji. So it's not just some magic bullshit but a part of the story that was established early on.
It's magic bullshit from beyond the grave. Quite literally a ghost in the machine. It's not something internal to Asuka, it's some ghost coming to her and giving her gratification.... yay?
Bad character, dumb fans.

>Rewatched the scene and it seems to me like tha Lance came back because Eva 01 awakened.
Reacting to Asuka's death, as Shinji screams. Plot device to trigger that meltdown of Shinji.

>Why are your arguments always so out of context?
It's in context as we were discussing it just earlier. You're just now realizing that you can't worm your way out. Too bad.

>I'm referring to personal understanding, not actually understanding someone on a deep, emotional level.
You're referring to a base reaction.

The changes we refer to here in terms of "character development" are by nature understandings of a deep emotional level, of oneself, or of others. Asuka's got squat but being the same bitch she always was.

You may hate that it's the truth, but that's how it is. Learn to move on.

Yet none of them could be solved or even be pretended to be solved by showing Misato her father again.

Misato's issues are matter-of-factly independently evolved issues that came to be because of her development and her decisions. They aren't all "daddy saved me omg", unlike Asuka, Misato has come to meet love and lose love, she's been betrayed and more. She seeks the truth behind NERV.

There is more to Misato than there ever will be about Asuka considering the way the franchise is going.

You're at a really, really shallow level of understanding these characters which makes me wonder why I even bother humoring you. Asuka really is that shallow of a character, and your childish and sexaully repugnant love for this character doesn't change a single thing.

If you think 14 year old teenage girl reflect all their actions like adults do, you are wrong.

No it's not. I said that Asuka feels alive because of the way she interacts with other people and has different moods, like an actual human being.

>Yes, exactly, which is supposed to validate her entire character.

Except we learn her personality through interaction with her and understand what kind of person she is.
The backstory just extends on that and sets up EoE.

>but not low enough to literally undress himself naked in a bathtub and attempt to commit suicide in it

Yeah because jerking off to a comatose girl and sitting around doing nothing while armed enemies trying to kill him searches for him is way better.

You could argue about that, but that's not the point here.

No, she's a one-trick-pony and a plot device. She has nothing going for her than that shallow development.

It doesn't. Asukas character has a completly different point in Evangelion and you not liking it doesn't make it bad.

>If you think 14 year old teenage girl reflect all their actions
and here we are, moving of the goalposts. They do reflect, no one claimed that they were in general as capable as adults.

So yes, we conclude now, humans do reflect and act, and showcasing that in fiction only helps making that character feel more alive and real. Asuka fails the consciousness test.

>No it's not.
Yes it is, see above. You can showcase a man who is depressed all the time and never smiles, and he'll still feel more alive than a shallow bipolar character. Wide range of emotions doesn't create for "alive" characters. Only autists who require exaggerated facial expressions think that, and obviously, they're mistaken.

>Except we learn her personality through interaction with her and understand what kind of person she is.
>The backstory just extends on that and sets up EoE.
The backstory becomes the entire lynchpin of what's wrong with the character, and it is never properly addressed why Asuka can't move the fuck on, not even a single thought is dedicated to that. It's a shallow, one-trick pony copout. Just like "well fuck, let's just give her mommy back" is a copout in NGE.

No character, no development, just one idea:

"girl misses mommy, gets mommy back for a second".

It is. If I were to give both medical exams, I'd clear Shinji but worry about Asuka. There's nothing to joke about unconsciousness like that.

>She has nothing going for her than that shallow development.
Don't you see that you're completely losing the argument here? Asuka doesn't even have that development. If having a good character development, and an actual character is being "one-trick pony", then Asuka is a no-trick pony.

We are discussing precisely character here, and Rei's complete character is better than Asuka's incomplete and shallow character.

>Asukas character has a completly different point in Evangelion and you not liking it doesn't make it bad.
It has a different point. Rei is an actual character with her own agenda and motivation, development and final conclusion.
Asuka is a foil to Shinji, Rei and other characters, she's a plot device.

It's not about whether or not I like it, because believe it or not, I kind of do. A lot. I like Evangelion in general. But it's still a bad character compared to the rest.

Here's the problem. She always viewed him as a rival, right from the start. Nothing changes. Asuka views Rei, Shinji, every other pilot peer she meets as a rival. There is no development here.
She doesn't learn that they have to work together, because in the episode right after she refuses to cooperate again.
Then she does it again, and again, until finally she snaps in episode 22.

Her actions are well withing those of a 14 year old who had a terrible past like her.

Also, she actually does reflect when she has her period about how she hates everyone, but most of all herself.

>Wide range of emotions doesn't create for "alive" characters.

It does. If your character is passive as fuck and rarely changes his mood, he's not alive. That what Rei is.
Asuka is influenced by her surrounding and the way she expresses herself regarding that resemble that of an actual teenage girl. If you think real girls of that age don't say mean things, stuff they don't actually believe but say because they are dumb and change their mood easily, you are wrong. It's fucking puberty.
Rei is an alien character just because of the fact that she doesn't have a period. It's natural to be loud and yell like Asuka.

Nope, 14-year olds with pasts like her don't need to act like a bitch. There's plenty of fritzl-dungeon kids who are pretty nice, or other kids without parents that don't even think about it.
So it's all about the character development and character definition, which Asuka sorely lacks. Except for the fact that it drones on about her mommy and whatnot.

>Also, she actually does reflect when she has her period about how she hates everyone, but most of all herself.
This isn't reflection, it's a statement she shows every day since the beginning, from when she does't care that she dies and by how she treats others.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_self-reflection

>It does. If your character is passive as fuck and rarely changes his mood, he's not alive. That what Rei is.
So depressed people aren't alive then? It's too bad you're too dumb and can't see blatant contradictions like this.

>Asuka is influenced by her surrounding and the way she expresses herself regarding that resemble that of an actual teenage girl
or not. Depends on the girl, and if Asuka's character is undetailed.... well, here we go.

>Rei is an alien character just because of the fact that she doesn't have a period. It's natural to be loud and yell like Asuka.
or not. Some aren't loud, some are. In fiction it's about defining why, which is easy. Hell I could write a character in a few lines with the same background depth of Asuka. It doesn't become a good or truly great character before we actually reflect on the character, on why it can't be different and why it is what it is.

This isn't hatespeech. This is understanding. What you are doing is objecting to it, because the truth hurts you.

Did I mention that Rei looks like a toilet seat
>>
>>139016367
see >>139015971

You're going very far to deny that Asuka is a lackluster character compared to Rei. A character like Asuka which is static, unchanging and basically just a puppet is only interesting to shallow people more into the anime for cute girls than anything more cerebral.

Not that I'm going to criticize cute girls, but we're not talking about which character is more cute now.

So here we get this problem, as Rei has a solid character arc from start to finish, where Asuka doesn't. That does make Rei the better character. Why can't you simply accept that?

Let's put it another way.
Asuka "mirrors" a teenage girl. One type of teenage girl anyway.
But Rei mirrors herself, she's an actual character who doesn't simply ape, she changes and learns very visibly throughout the series. Not just by having her react differently at times, but by literally showing that she is seeking to change and actually asking herself a question, then answering it just to finally execute whatever decision she made.

Rei is a more full character, and she's got a mystery Asuka simply can't match.

>If having a good character development, and an actual character is being "one-trick pony", then Asuka is a no-trick pony.

Tell me about how detailed Reis character is, important, expain how it's implemented into the story and how the characters interact
Reis development is fine but nothing compared to Shinjis.
And Asuka has less development than Rei, but Asuka has more depth.

>It has a different point. Rei is an actual character with her own agenda and motivation, development and final conclusion.

Asuka is as well. Here I'll explain why, something you didn't for Rei. You just make empty claims.
It's really important for Asuka to be an Eva pilot because it's proof for her that she strong. She wants to be strong and independent because she's afraid of loosing people like she lost her mother.
Over the cause of NGE she doesn't succeed in being a good Eva pilot. Her Unit gets destroyed and her synchro ratio drops. She gets depressed and wishes to die. In EoE when she's at her lowest point and about to die she gets scarred and wishes to live, her mother talks to her and gives her confirmation that she's there for her. With the knowledge that her mother didn't abandon her but was protecting her all along she, gets over her fear, regains the will to live and gets up to fight.

>What I don't like are Asukafags who pretend their character is something it isn't.

I realize that she's a terrible person. But that's why I like her. What her character represents is honest and imperfect and I like that.

While you're completely right, I can afford to call people retards, idiots and even more since it's something they've been doing en masse since start. I have a lot to catch up on if I'm to fill my quota of namecalling here. If you were ever under the impression that this was a civil discussion, or that the party I'm debating has any intention of being civil, you were wrong.

I find it worse to have dishonest arguments like theirs, than to simply have the word "idiot" shoved somewhere in a post. Especially when it fits.

That's your defense mechanism speaking. I have considered your ideas, and I've only laid forth what can be said to be logical and canonical.
When faced with the reality that Asuka actually does suck when compared to the other two children in the show, and Misato, you spout that line of lies.

I intend to get closer to the actuality of NGE here, whilst your "peers", the Asuka fans, are busy spamming about toilets and spouting abuse. Don't pretend you're on any better side.

If you actually want to be better, then drop the defense mechanism. If the canon NGE shows that Asuka performs worse, she does worse, and causes all these problems - then perhaps Asuka really is as bad as I am saying.

I'm not trying to say that she's worse than she is. That's why I don't call her plight or emotional moments shallow, or that she isn't a fairly realistic character. But when we compare, we have to afford comparing and to see what makes a character great, and what flaws makes it not so great.

Asuka's flaws include being overtly weighted on her past, having no well-defined development and practically no conclusion to speak of. She is more of a foil and a plot device.

This is not hate speech. It's what Asuka is.

You are such a fool. They way you talk about characters as if there's some kind of objective way to measure their quality is so childish it's laughable.
Let me tell you something. There's no way to objectively measure anything. There will always be people involved in the process of doing anything and because of that there will always be bias. The fact that you don't already know this means you are either a child or both emotionally and mentally stunted as a person.

>Reis development is fine but nothing compared to Shinjis.
Okay, fine, at least you're rationalizing now. Maybe Rei does have fine development, but you have to mention that here might be someone better. I think myself that Shinji's development is more detailed, more grounded, and more genuinely roller-coaster-y than people give it credit for.

>And Asuka has less development than Rei, but Asuka has more depth.
>but Asuka has more depth.
Not in this world.

>Asuka is as well. Here I'll explain why, something you didn't for Rei. You just make empty claims.
Your explanation of Asuka's character doesn't meet the standards of "own agenda, motivation, development and final conclusion". It' lacking "development" and "final conclusion". There isn't any solution for Asuka except to be saved by others. By Shinji, by Rei, by Misato, by EVA02, that is how Asuka moves on in her life, and the character itself has no conclusion. The development isn't there, because by continually being saved she only makes noise and burdens others, never changing.

So no, Asuka is not like this at all. Her motivation and agenda is still limited to the one thing I mentioned, her mother-issue, which everything revolves around. This is the "excuse" for this character's existence as it is, and it is how it was attempted solved in EoE as well, not through developing Asuka but by introducing her mother trough a plot device.

Such a character can't match Shinji, Rei or Misato in terms of quality.

>I realize that she's a terrible person. But that's why I like her. What her character represents is honest and imperfect and I like that.
That's fine, too bad most pretend she isn't a horrid being. But included in "what isn't", is that she's a better character than she is.

This just isn't true, at least in regard to Shinji. Asuka was the one who actually made Shinji start growing out of his shell and become more assertive. Rei is about as interactive as a dead fish, so Shinji actually having someone he can talk to like a normal teenager + someone he can actually argue against, unlike the adults or non-confrontational Rei, helps him grow hugely as a character.

I mean, think of all the time you could have saved everyone by saying that at the start. Hell if you actually think what you just wrote meant anything, maybe you shouldn't have argued so insistently for your own opinion.

There is one thing you've objectively proved, and that is that even outspoken Asuka fans are in denial of the NGE character.

According to who? You?

Not the series, where Shinji grows inwards thanks to Asuka.

>Rei is about as interactive as a dead fish, so Shinji actually having someone he can talk to like a normal teenager
Shinji spoke with his classmates nearly every single day before Asuka even arrived. He had no issues arguing against (or with) either Toji or Kensuke. Or Rei for that matter.

Asuka makes Shinji worse, by destabilzing him and making him feel even more insecure about himself.

Practically, Asuka fucks up too many things for you to ignore. Right from the refusal to synch with Shinji, to the point where she nearly destroys NERV by not fighting properly against Arael, she's downright dangerous and drags everyone down.

>Harping on about how "objectively right" you are while insulting your opponents is not going to do anything for you or your opponents.
Oh it does. By stressing that these are facts not interpretations, their reactions to it proves their inability to remain rational and objective. Yes, being objective here is a virtue.

It's not the use of the word "objective" that makes me or my argument right, it's the citation and the referral that does. The objective fact.

Also, when you have Asuka fans downright denying the canonical events of the series, I'll reserve the right for an insult or two. That's only fitting.

You're still singing the song of the loser by the way. Discussions concerning the nature of objectivity has no place here at all, because in discussions like these if you disagree that something is as objective as someone claims, it's super-easy for you to show it's not by a citation or two.

> Shinji grows inwards thanks to Asuka

Are you retarded? In the double dancing episode as well as subsequent one we see Shinji grow from meekly accepting Asuka's critisicm to actually yelling back and arguing with her, I'm pretty sure Misato even points it out. It's one of the main reasons the double dance even works, because Shinji started to stand up for himself and started looking eye to eye with Asuka.

And yes, Shinji had the other two before Asuka came along, and they also helped him grow a lot, but they never challenged him like Asuka did, they were always accepting of him being the shy friend. Asuka pushed Shinji and eventually he learns to push back, he wouldn't have ever learned this without her, because she's the only one who can both hit and be hit back.

Toward the back end of the series, Asuka begins to lose control because of her shitty scores, and that's point where she starts to lose it and starts to negatively affect people, but that is part of her character arc and as it stands, Shinji would have lost a huge chunk of character development if she wasn't around.

You can hate Asuka all you like, all I'm saying is that she did have actual character development, as well as helping to develop others.

Have been doing so continuously through our discussion. Feel free to track back.

She is killed by the MP-EVA's and saved by the tang.

She gets to fight the MP-EVA's at all because her mother reaches out to her, saves her from her current state.

She gets to be in EVA-02 at all because Misato watched out for her and ordered the crew to put her inside it.

She gets to be in that bed and not dead because Rei sacrificed herself to save her, the second time in two episodes since the first was against Arael.

We could go all the way back to Magma Diver where Shinji saves Asuka.

See how Asuka fails to meet any conclusion or redemption of her own here? Her walking out of the tang was her being saved from death by instrumentality, a place everyone who wants to can leave. She was already saved by that point.

>So what? That's part of her character, I don't see the problem.
It means that this character does not have an actual conclusion besides being used as a foil.

Shinji had talked back before, to people bigger than him even. No growth.

That's true, because they challenged him even more. Downright smacking him in the face even.
Besides your point here is bust. Don't pretend NGE didn't exist before episode 7.

>You can hate Asuka all you like, all I'm saying is that she did have actual character development, as well as helping to develop others.
She helps other to develop or to be fleshed out at least. That's her function, she's a foil not an actual developing character herself. I don't hate Asuka though. You do for having erased six episodes of Evangelion just to pretend Asuka was the first teenager Shinji could talk to that wasn't Rei. Because for some reason, Rei doesn't count or something.

Rei and Asuka challenge him in completely different ways. Rei challenges Shinji to consider the consequences of his choices and how they effect the people around him. Asuka challenges Shinji to be more active in his life, to approach people more actively and confrontationally, rather than allowing others to dictate the agenda of his life.

HAH, never. No one is as big as of a puppet as Asuka, who has literally let NERV dictate her entire life and she never even questioned them once. Not even once. In fact when Shinji confronts Asuka about how NERV might be the baddies since they're fighting the Angels, AKA "the good guys", Asuka just flatly rejects it.

No, I'll put my trust in the scolding Misato, the straight to the point Rei, or the assertive and challenging Toji.

>>139018105

He's yelled at people, yes, but not really argued the way he does with Asuka, 99% of the time whenever he's yelling it was to say that he can't pilot the EVA or just generally that something is wrong. When he argues with Asuka it's over stupid unimportant shit, which is the point, their arguing builds his personal character, and it makes him more willing to stand up for himself as well as generally just being more open with what he thinks.

> Downright smacking him in the face even

Again, this was a good first step, I'm not saying these other characters didn't help Shinji grow, they did. I'm saying that Asuka brought him out even more, until that point Shinji wouldn't have gotten into an argument over something that annoyed him, he'd just let it slide, but during the double dance episode we see them argue about pretty much anything, even who gets to watch what on the TV. In general, Asuka made him way more willing to stand up for himself compared to the other two, who more or less just made him more willing to spend time with people and try to make friends. NGE existed before episode 7, but episode 7 itself was a drastic change in tone and signaled a lot more personality growth for Shinji directly because of Asuka's brashness rubbing off on him.

> She's a foil and not an actual developing character herself

What? We see her develop, not necessarily towards a positive end, but her character changes over time, and eventually she connects with her mother in her EVA though her not wanting to die, and it kind of completes her "need for independence" arc because she realizes her mother has been with her the whole time and that she never needed to fight alone in the first place, and it shows by how she fucking wrecks the mass production EVA's with the highest sync rate she's probably ever had ((until she gets taken down by the spear of longinus replica which completely shuts her EVA down))

Yeah sorry, all this translates to is "it's speshul with ass ka because i sez so", which we all know is just retarded shipper-ingitis.

That's not the reason I'm calling it stop here now though. It's because you've moved the goalposts to saying it's different with Asuka, from that there wasn't any challenge from others or even points of communication before Asuka.

>What? We see her develop, not necessarily towards a positive end, but her character changes over time
You didn't get Asuka. The fact that she doesn't change is what makes her break. She started out broken, couldn't change, and so she remained broken.
Her EoE moment is basically saying "yeah, we're not going to develop this character just give her some powerup and then kill her. Fans will fanwank the rest."

You could just remove all of her characterization up until that point, and given her the mother scene, and nothing would change. It's not character development, it's a plot device insertion so she can continue being a foil in instrumentality.

>She started out broken, couldn't change, and so she remained broken.
Anon, this is true of every character in the series except for Rei, and the only reason she could change is because she was broken in a literal sense.

> once when she complained that Shinji was saying "sorry" too often.

Actually it was pretty much the entirety of the double dancing episode.

> HAH, never
What? Seriously watch episode 9 again and tell me Shinji doesn't go through a huge amount of character development in just a few scenes.

> who has literally let NERV dictate her entire life

What the hell does NERV have to do with this? I was only arguing that Asuka helped Shinji's character develop in a way that no other character could have accomplished in the same way, not that Asuka was some perfect being who couldn't do wrong.

> I'll put my trust in the scolding Misato

The hedgehogs dillema episode already pointed out that, despite Mistato helping Shinji accept more responsibility in his life, she can't bring herself to get close enough to him to actually help him grow as a person, because she too is a little too damaged to be able to connect with him in the way that he needs to.

Also she's an adult, which makes the way they argue completely different than how he argues pointless shit with Asuka.

> Assertive and challenging Toji

He's not really that assertive, after the punch thing he pretty much never challenges Shinji the same way again, at least not to the level that Asuka does.

Good to see that you've got your argument down to it's core. But you should probably say "Asuka objectively a shit" so you can sort of pretend you have an argument.

> all this translates to is "it's speshul with ass ka because i sez so"

Seriously? What I mean when I said "not the way he argues with Asuka" is that they argue over small pointless shit that has doesn't have a huge effect on things, shit like who gets to use the bathroom first and getting into fights over who gets to watch what on TV, the point being that Asuka challenges him in his every day life, not just about EVA's or their mission. This causes a fundamental change in Shinji because he becomes able to stand up for himself even towards petty things.

> You've moved the goalposts

I said in my first comment that Asuka is someone he can talk to like a normal teenager + someone he can actually argue against.

Asuka was the best example of these two points, I never said Toji or Kensuke were useless, Kensuke talked to him kindly like a reasonably normal teen would, and Toji did jump start him on the way to actually standing up for himself, but Asuka is the biggest teacher within this frame, she was the one who lived with Shinji and for an entire week non-stop was fighting with him and slowly making him able to stand up for himself even over petty things, this was the biggest turning point for his character in that regard, it's obvious in episode 9 he's still basically a doormat before he and Asuka start training.

> given her the mother scene, and nothing would change

Not really, through all the time we see just how deeply rooted her inferiority complex is and how she constantly tries to overcome it by performing well only by failing, to the point where it basically ruins her, removing all that and just giving her the mother scene pulls away all the impact the realization that she was never alone and that accepting her mothers help and doing things together had on her. it wouldn't mean anything to the viewer to see that change if we hadn't seen all the hardships she had gone through up until that point, just trying find her meaning.

The middle line on the plugsuit is curved, meaning the buldge occurs in the middle where the groin would be, not on the sides where the hipbones would be.
