was there ever a conflict this iconic? I mean, 20 years have

Actually, everybody is sure.
You're just expecting consensus.
and that's plain silly.

The award goes to Misato.

Moot and Hiro both confirmed Red was the best.

it's Shinji

They both suck. They have some redeeming qualities that you might admire or relate to (e.g. Rei's stoic sense of duty, Asuka's disingenuous but uncompromisingly high self-esteem), but neither of them are someone you'd want to be around/with.

Everyone knows what Asuka really is.

Both girls are irredeemably broken and live in a world on the verge of armageddon. You won't be able to save them, from themselves or from Third Impact.

So why pick either of them?

Rei is best.
I get my red-color-scheme-tsundere fix from Tohsaka

>>143142594
Such an obvious Asuka knockoff it's not even funny. Type Moon is cancer.

>>143142151
They're both best... at being SHIT.

Silly anon, that's because pic related was obviously the best girl

>>143142699
Tohsaka is superior Asuka though.

Only patricians can comprehend the BEST GIRL

>>143142151
The one who's an actual person, no matter how fucked up, as opposed to an Alien with a skeleton of a personality

>>143142526
What are you talking about? Asuka was alive after the third impact

Hikari is best.

Kaworu this thread isn't for you

Iconic and with a annoying fanbase is not the same thing

How much screen time did Rei even get in the original series? Anno himself didn't care for Rei.

>>143145190
yet the show revolves around her

>>143145353
and Shinji

>>143145353
and Misato

>>143145353
and Pen²

>>143145514
Mostly Shinji. The ancillary sci-fi conspiracy story revolves around Gendo and his plan revolves around Rei, then Rei jacks that and revolves that around Shinji also.

We know Rei is the superior one. The conflict persists largely due to otaku butthuft from Asuka fans.
