The impacts of deaths in Evangelion was poorly executed. I never cared when a single character met their maker because it was never made clear if they actually died at all, between confusing shots and a strange continuity.

Early on, we see Rei die, but she's clearly not dead. Kaji is killed offscreen in messy circumstances, Rei dies again but is returned to us an episode later, which finally brings us to the most important death of all, that of Asuka Soryu Langley, greatest fighter of all time, prettiest girl, kind to a fault, viciously murdered in what should be an impactful scene and the viewer feels nothing because death doesn't mean death.

Asuka a best.If you felt nothing,then you're an emotionless piece of shit.
>>
>>153125979
The scene in which the Evaseries maim and devour Eva 02 was "Poorly executed"?

Also, it was really clear Kaji died. It's just that in full eva style, they had to make it a bit more mysterious than a simple "he ded".
>>
>>153125979
If you felt nothing at Asuka's howling MP Eva fight and death, then the problem is with you.
>>
>>153126259
yeah. If Rei could survive a whatever explosion, why can't best girl survive getting torn apart? They cried wolf a few too many times and made it less meaningful when someone died for real.

AND you're not even supposed to get hurt in an evangelion anyway, Shinji survived an explosion in episode one. They regularly had their limbs torn off.
>>
>>153126309
Rei didn't survive the explosion.
The Rei you see after that is the another clone, this is basic shit.

And for fuck's sake... it was CLEAR AS DAY that Asuka died. They show her screaming in pain when the Lance of Longinus pierces her head, how do you think she's gonna handle being literally eaten alive by a flock of hungry monsters?
If anything, Shinji's devastated scream after seeing the corpse of Eva 02 should have settled the matter.
>>
>>153126403
she might not have survived but she clearly lived. Toji got crushed and he was fine. The fact is, until a character specifically points out that someone is dead for good or it happens right on screen like with Misato, that's the only way you'd be certain, and it lessens the impact of the scene.

It's not how it works, she is dead, or better be dead, or even better not to exist in first place.
Pure innocaent creature whose meaning in this world lie in piloting and pleasuring gendoo.
In the whole series it's doesn't matter who will die next, matter how do theey live and suffer.
Death is a metaphor of escape from cruel world.
>>
I remember being 13 and someone giving me two CDs with anime music videos. Everything was fine until there was these scene with a flock of seagulls tearing apart a woman in armor. I'd already seen Alien and Terminator but this was something completely new to me. And I expected the CDs to be just a bunch of cute characters jumping around. How disgusting.
>>
Asuka's exudes a pure vibrancy that infects you, so charming and powerful only the heartless could avoid getting infected by her raw exuberant glory. She embodies the very pinnacle of femininity itself, with perfect aesthetics, a wild heart, but still tempered with a desire to be swept away by a strong lover.

The Reis are different people. The fact that she keeps coming is unsettling because of that.
Also Asuka's death was shocking as fuck.

It does, instrumentality is the death of humanity as we know it, and asuka only comes back at the end just to be strangled by Shinji

From Parano:

>Takekuma: Toji lost his leg. Why didn't he die there?

>Anno: I couldn't kill him.

>Takekuma: Of course.

>Anno: No, um, I made a certain promise, though I think now I should have broken it. At the very beginning, when [we] drew up the plan [for Eva], with the producer, from King Records, who told me, "I will approve the plan you submit, whatever it is, because I have faith in you. However, there will be two conditions. The first one is that you will remain with me for five years. You cannot, for example, do a film version with another [producer]. The additional condition is that you will not kill any children. The adults can die, but I don't want children dying." Because of that condition I couldn't kill [Toji].

He breaks it, and because of that the last two episodes become fucked up.

>the running out of cash thing isn't true - that's something that's become a popular theory more recently, which confuses me a bit because at the time, there was absolutely no debate over what happened to the final episodes. In fact, it was reported in Japanese newspapers at the time - it was quite a big news story, given Eva's huge popularity in its original terrestrial broadcasts.

>Anno and the rest of the Gainax team had been pushing production of the various episodes up closer and closer to the deadlines issued by their TV station, to the extent that they were actually biking episodes over to the broadcast centre on Beta tape only minutes before the broadcast time. This was tolerated, because Eva had some of the highest ratings of any show ever - until Episode 24.

>Episode 24 arrived at the station so late that it couldn't even be watched before being broadcast - it was slapped in a Beta drive and transmitted directly, without being reviewed by any staff at the station. Episode 24, you'll recall, is the Kaworu episode, which aside from the homosexual overtones (probably not actually an issue), ends with, er, a pop. Bear in mind that this was broadcast in a 6.30pm weekday slot on Japanese national television.

>The network went apeshit - it may have been in silhouette, and he may have been technically non-human, but you can't show a 14 year old popping his 14 year old friend's head off at 6.30pm on TV, even in Japan. Gainax, and Anno specifically, were accused of deliberately holding back the episode to prevent the network from seeing it before broadcast - and the network staff demanded to see the storyboards for the next two episodes. (Anno had previously made a promise with the TV station that he wouldn't kill any children in the show, which is why Touji didn't die and he went crazy with character deaths for EoE)

>I should have broken it
It would have been much more impactful if based Toji died. Much much more impactful. Sadamoto killed him in the manga, but I didn't like his execution of Shinji's comeback based on survivor's guilt. In the anime he makes his own decision to protect his friends despite his hatred for his own father, that shows character growth.
>>
>>153128190
And Shinji just ends up ignoring Touji (And Kensuke) after anyway and never brings it up again, so he seems like that arc didn't even matter in the end.

No, it mattered of course. Toji and Kensuke were the first people to truly support Shinji followed by Misato. They understood his decision to run away and didn't blame him for that. It showed to him that he's actually understood and that they care about him. That's why he shouts that he's a coward etc. In EoE we see Toji and Kensuke close to Shinji in that beautiful group photo. Shinji remembers his friends and wants to see them again. Shinji didn't make that decision out of nowhere. He was loved by people and they cared about him and in the last moment he understood the value of those people and those emotions. As for episode 24 they weren't in Tokyo-3 anymore, so Anno could write his little bishounen fanfiction with one particular homosexual angel.
>>
>>153129271
Then why does he completely ignore them after the incident with Toji? Makes no sense.

>that beautiful group photo
You mean the photo with those NERV workers that Shinji never once met?
>>
>>153129319
>why does he completely ignore them after the incident with Toji
because he's afraid to visit Toji in the hospital and is afraird of admitting his guilt?
>You mean the photo with those NERV workers that Shinji never once met?

lolwut
the script said the photo would most likely be taken before episode 15, the best times
>>
>>153129387
But he never brings up what happened with Toji ever again so it just feels like pointless filler.

I don't remember him ever meeting the NERV workers, but it's been a while.

I didn't even remember Toji's name until it was mentioned in this thread.

>>153129429
NERV workers literally sit there with Misato during each battle or test. Plus in episode 11 children instantly recognize Hyuga's voice.
As for what happened to Toji, there were several scenes with him and Kensuke waving goodbye to Shinji, but they were deleted.

True, true. I was actually surprised, having read the manga first, how much more prominent and important Asuka was in the series, and how closer her relation to Shinji is.

>>153130312
>Really? I'm shocked, most people hated it.
It felt more like Evangelion than the fanwank that was 2.0, so I consider it the best rebuild and legitimately found it enjoyable.

I think it was more powerful as it happened in the anime, where Toji didn't die but was crippled. He not only lost a leg (and I think an arm too?), but he lost his will to live. Shinji had to see how one of his few friends' life got destroyed by something that he did.

If Toji had died, at least Shinji would have remineded him as a friend, with his character intact. He didn't killed Toji's body, but he killed his soul.

Now, what I don't really want is a confirmation that Rebuild is really a sequel, because that actually destroys the original series' and EoE's positive messages and renders the whole story useless. That would be a completely disgusting thing even for the Master.

Mari -> Asuka
Kaworu -> Shinji

The Rei Ayanami they are thinking of is not real. The real Rei Ayanami gets married, and her belly..."

I wouldn't put it this way.
Toji never held hard feelings towards Shinji after losing his leg.
In the hospital, we see that he actually really wants to meet him, the problem is Shinji himself.
Shinji can't bring himself to look at Toji after crippling him. He never forgave himself for it. When he saw Toji in the crushed entry plug on 01's hand he felt like that was his own hand that maimed his closest friend.
Let's hope Toji came out of the LCL with his leg back and hugged Shinji.

Eva is a self-contained story, it doesn't really work as a franchise plot-wise

Depends. Those of us who watched week to week were massively affected by Rei's self destruction, and to this day, Asuka's death in EoE is still one of the most impactful scenes in the entire series.

Kaiji's death was impactful because of its amiguity, and because it happens without emotion and without some kind of badass going down and taking everyone with him ending.

He was driven to the edge of madness and desperation, then found himself standing in front of the naked body of the girl who he loved but had constantly pushed him away and backpedalled her own advances.

Only Shinji can know what he was thinking at that point, and while it was definitely pretty creepy I'd say it's whatever since he didn't even touch her and it helped him come to terms with himself

>>153139019
I also kinda like that pairing, since it makes sense from all the frustration and need to connect that was building up in the series, but most people in Japan prefer kawoshin since Anno wrote it like a romance out of bishonen prince light novel. If you talk to Japanese people who like it/ship it the thing is they don't like Asuka. They are even more into Rei, because both Rei and Kawoshin go well with usual Japanese xenophobic politeness. Asuka is literally a foreign object, a loud gaijin who changes series' tone. Japs traditionally dislike loud people and gaijins, especially such a hard person as Asuka. In a society of polite shut-ins the most preferred romance is a quiet fairy-tale with silver haired protagonists.
>>
>>153139430
Here's the thing. Kaworu is a shitty character. Evangelion is not a shitty story.

The pandering to ASuka and Kaworu fans have destroyed the characters and setting of Evangelion, we've come so far that the franchise is deliberately trying to ruin itself and it's characters to focus with pinpoint accuracy on otaku pandering.

All the otaku hatred has been let loose within Evangelion, and Rei is a prime target because she was the most popular and that made every eva otaku hate her out of envy.
>>
>>153139581
I understand your frustration, reifag, but the thing is, you should just forget about rebuild and manga, I don't like them either, even though Asuka is my favorite character, I don't think they did well with her portrayal in both. Rei was a good character in the original, so stick to it and forget about the snitfest that is rebuild. Sometimes it's okay to run away, so run away from it. It's shit

>>153140120
No, Kaworu and Shinji are completely different from Misato and Kaji, you seem to not understand the nature of Misato's view on him. Kaworu and Shinji were all about inspiration and learning to love yourself rather than romance in its traditional sense as we see it with Kaji and Misato, it's confirmed by Anno, whose inspiration was Kunihiko Ikuhara, a person who also supposedly taught Anno to love himself by being accepting and caring, it's more of a homage to Freud and Jung. As for parallels between characters, the parallel of men/women relationships are presented with Kaji/Misato, Shinji/Asuka. The difference is that Kaji is trying and partially able to understand Misato, but Shinji can't understand Asuka and is unable to satisfy her need for other. Kaji reinforces this with talk about differences between men and womem. Women are really important in Eva, in fact, as Anno, said more important than Kaworu and Shinji, which was kind of a homage to Anno's own experience with Ikuhara.

Everything you just said you learned from me telling you. You're half wrong:

Kaworu was explicitly designed to be a way for Shinji to experience what it's like to lose the one you love so he can understand Misato.

Kaji and Kaworu both act very similar for a reason, thus they must be taken away from their love interests abruptly as well.

Misato and Shinji are the most similar characters in the series. The show is mostly about the parallel between them, the two main characters. Everything from their relationships with their fathers to how they deal with people.

Misato and Shinji have to be strong and move on, but not forgetting the love they had for them.

From the very first draft they made it obvious:

>RITSUKO: –––Shinji, have you ever fallen in love?
>SHINJI: Not yet…
>RITSUKO: In Misato's heart, Kaji was a physically a part of her. Now that he's gone, it's finally hit her. But, some times those painful feelings become so overwhelming, it becomes unbearable. And on those nights, sometimes [we {general}] need to rely on the power of alcohol just a bit.
A special train pulls into the platform.
>SHINJI: Will I understand that sort of thing better once I've fallen in love?
>RITSUKO: When you understand it, it means you've become an adult. –––Alright. The Fifth Child is here.
The special train pulls out of the station.
A young boy wearing a cute, navy sailor suit remains on the platform. (Nagisa Kaworu)
Kaworu stands in the heat haze.
He sparkles against the light of the setting sun, his hair the color of honey.
Shinji is unconsciously bewitched by his divine beauty.
Shinji meets Kaworu's gaze. His heart pounds.


Read the drafts:
http://wiki.evageeks.org/Resources:Episode_24_Draft_1_(Translation)
http://wiki.evageeks.org/Resources:Episode_24_Draft_2_(Translation)

Shinji's first experience with love is with Kaworu. He doesn't fall in love with anyone else besides him.

Same with Misato and Kaji.

It is idealistic and shoujo-esque, because that's the type of romance Anno likes.

The thing is, such a concept was abandoned and rewritten completely, there's no implication that Shinji understands Misato.

>>153140969
Misato's words to Shinji at the lake are her projecting about Kaji.

You seriously didn't realize that?

They don't have to understand each other, the point is that they're very similar. They are the two main characters after all. It's about them and their story first and foremost.

The same major pivitol themes have been present since the very beginning, only enacted in different situations.

You're wrong and you misunderstood Eva.
From the very beginning this was Anno's vision for the show.

It was a show about Misato and Shinji; they are the parallel here. Kaji and Kaworu are just the love interest part of their parallel.

>Anno: This is roughly the world-view for Neon Genesis Evangelion. This is a world-view drenched in a vision of pessimism. A world-view where the story starts only after any traces of optimism have been removed.

>And in that world, a 14-year-old boy shrinks from human contact. And he tries to live in a closed world where his behavior dooms him, and he has abandoned the attempt to understand himself. A cowardly young man who feels that his father has abandoned him, and so he has convinced himself that he is a completely unnecessary person, so much so that he cannot even commit suicide.

>And there is a 29-year-old woman who lives life so lightly as to barely allow the possibility of a human touch. She protects herself by having surface level relationships, and running away.
Both are extremely afraid of being hurt. Both are unsuitable-lacking the positive attitude-for what people call heroes of an adventure. But in any case, they are the heroes of this story.
>>
So I just finished watching NGE and EoE last night so I'm probably going to check out rebuild soon.

Does Shinji and Kaworu actually become a thing or is that just something you people throw around? He still gets killed right?

>his SDAT plays the song fast, implying Shinji's heart is racing right now
>he decides to kiss her, his pupils are big, sparkly, reflecting Asuka's face

Yeah, right, and your case is valid for every men. I don't argue with the fact that true heterosexuals exist, but young perturbated teenagers such as Shinji getting lost in their sexuality and getting attracted by people of the same sex happen too

nope, you can't change your sexuality, that's set in stone. If you could change what you were attracted to, pedophiles wouldn't even exist.

Maybe you can't change your own sexuality, but you can be wrong about it. To go back to my previous example, it was frequent for gays to get married and have children because they repressed their own sexuality for social or cultural reasons.
And once again, Shinji is a stupid 14 years old virgin, he knows shit about himself and his sexuality

I think that the undertones and more subtle things in EVA are much more traumatizing for a kid or adult than any of the violent scenes. But of course, censorship is always retarded and can't into subtlety so they think kids are the same and will only get shocked by violence and boobs.

When I was a kid I remember not caring at all for violence unless it was extremely heavy and had context, like the Berserk ending. And the psychological issues and characters interactions in NGE stayed in my mind for much longer than Toji or Kaworu scenes, In fact, I barely remembered them when I rewatched it as an adult.

I do agree that sex is always memorable though, as I never forgot the scenes between Asuka and Shink, Rei and Shinji and Misato and Kaiji
>>
>>153144820

Although I'd say that's more due to the context of these scenes and also because of how real the characters felt to me than anything else.

As a child and teenager the most frightening part was helplesness in the face of pain. That's not something that's easy to present to the audience or incorporate into a movie. It's also one of the reasons why Anno is the Master.

>>153145312
>helplesness in the face of pain.
I'm not sure what you are referring, is that the Asuka scene in EoE? If yes, it's also one of the most powerful scenes in the series for me, but sadly I never watched EoE as a kid, I only had the chance to see it as an adult.

I would say that there are several scenes in EoE that are extremely shocking and can stay on your mind for a very, very long time. And honestly, many of them are even worse for an adult, as I think that once you actually understand what's happening, the implications of it and the whole context of the scenes, they become much heavier and memorable.
>>
>>153145647
>I'm not sure what you are referring, is that the Asuka scene in EoE?
Not only that, although I have to come out and admit I was thinking of her while writing the post.
Every time a character in Eva is faced with psychological pain or physical danger, they (and the viewer) are also presented with the inevitability of the situation. They are presented with pain that has to be endured, without the "luxury" of suicide.
>>
>>153125979
Living was suffering for poor Asuka. Only in the face of death did she learn to love herself. Some go their entire life without this insight. At least Asuka was able to be whole before she died.

How is anyone disrespecting characters or the canon? Shinji and Kaworu were doing undeniably romantic shit in episode 24. It's entirely possible that during the time Asuka was gone he fell out of love with her. When Kaworu showed up, Shinji was ready to move on.

I would like to offer, in contrast to >>153149615, a more psychoanalytic approach.
You never really fall out of love. It is possible to put these words together but they do not have any meaning. Instead, the people you love form you as a person and become part of your conscious experience, even long after they are gone or physically separated.

I'm afraid not even on EvaGeeks everyone agrees with that rubbish. I think someone called Shin-Seiki wrote it a long timee ago, and it is full of shipping nonsense.

"Are they a couple? Yes" . I stopped reading it after seeing that.

In fact, there were some users on that same site who tried to "correct" such an article with some kind of amendment: http://forum.evageeks.org/thread/17362/Rejection-vs-Understanding-Asuka-Shinji-theory/

And not only a 14-year-old boy, but a deeply damaged one.
Let's not forget EVA characters are not what we would call "healthy" people (neither the teenagers nor the adults).

How immature are you nerds? You realise it's possible for someone to be in love with more than one person, right? Shinji being gay for Kaworu doesn't mean he doesn't also want to jack off to Asuka, they're not mutually exclusive.
>>
>>153151236
That's true.
Still, using the word "Love" to describe Shinji's relationships with the rest is a grave mistake, I think. No matter if it's with Kaworu, Asuka, Rei or whoever, "Love" in Evangelion is out of the question.

And not understanding that point is the common mistake many shippers make, and thus, we have this kind of ship fight threads all the time, like a vicious cycle.

Since Kaworu is an empath and can in all probability read minds, he probably told them exactly what they wanted to hear and went on his merry way. They were probably left convinced how smart they were for controlling and subduing a creature with thousands of years of experience, and how everything will go as planned like always.

Shinji never loved Asuka to begin with.
Asuka didn't love him either.
To suggest such, you don't understand their characters.

That's why love is represented by Kaworu in his heart.

Hormonal lust is not love and never will be.
Shinji is bisexual.

The higher their synchronization, the closer they get to fusing with the EVA. Shinji merged with his completely when he got to 400%. Asuka was probably somewhere around there, so she and the EVA were one and the same.

>>153161191
He saw the goodness in Shinji's heart right away and "loved" him because he wasn't used to that kind of emotion. He has enough faith in Shinji to betray his masters and even his own nature for him. I think he had been watching Shinji since the start of the series and was able to see his true self more than any of the humans in a way. I don't agree with pairing the characters off as a gay couple, that's too simple.

Not a fujo or into gay shit, but I think it makes sense Shinji fell in love with Kaworu.

Not saying they should be together or anything, but it's just a fact that Shinji was gay for him.

A lot of philosophy works had such homosexual relationships in them too, there's something about women that just can't compare to the purity between two men. They taint it.

Just my opinion, no bully.
>>
>>153163057
>I think it makes sense Shinji fell in love with Kaworu.

I only see it as he was incredibly infatuated(I think thats the right word) with him. Like he was just suffering a lack of positive social interaction that when he finally gets some, it means a lot more to him than it would normally.

I guess you could argue teenagers aren't emotionally mature enough to love yet, but both Shinji and the staff call it love.

I don't think a lack of positive interaction invalidates what he felt, either. Especially considering he usually just holes himself away from everyone when he's in those situations like he did with Misato.

Romantic escapism, the whole episode is written like a court romance and wouldn't feel out of place if you put the whole thing on a Latin or Greek manor.

That's just it, a fantasy. The subconscious is rigged in a certain way and there's not many ways to truly alter or repress it, unless you can go back in time.

Wish I could have done that. I got into Eva during that period in the US when anime was really hard to come by (Toonami had only just started by that point), especially where I lived, and any time I saw an Eva VHS on sale, I would snatch it up, regardless of what episodes it had. Because of this, I ended up skipping from the zebra sphere angel episode, to episode 23/24, and ended up catching up on the in-between episodes later on.
>>
>>153166268
Misato said in episode 26 and Asuka in End of Evangelion, that a person who hates himself cannot come to love others. So, no.
>>
>>153166352
That proves it all the more, anon.

>Interviewer: But wouldn’t the name Nagisa Kaworu fit even a girl?
>Anno: But that’s a young man! There’s no feminine sense whatsoever, right? Because it’s Shinji and another Shinji. Since it’s an ideal of Shinji’s that’s appearing, it can’t be a girl.
>Interviewer: Ah, I see.

It's just Shinji coming to love himself. Or an ideal version of himself, rather.

That's why in EoE we see Kaworu's figure represents love in Shinji's heart.
>>
>>153166385
That was before Asuka saw his own mind and still saw that he hated himself. Shinji even says it in greater detail in Episode 26 intrumentality.

Before he says goodbye to Rei, Kaworu and Yui.. he yet again states he hates himself.
>>
>>153166460
But he is trying to take the steps to love himself. Those are his near last words in episode 26.

He couldn't have done that without being shown that he's worthy of love.

Even the lyrics in Komm Susser Todd: "I'll never love again...the ones you love mean more than anything"
And we all know that's about Shinji's point of view.
>>
So, has there been any word on 3.0+1.0 recently? I figure since Anno's done with Godzilla, and this year is EoE's 20th/1.0's 10th, they've got to be trying to get it done.

He was the monster of the week. You might have noticed, the angels kept getting smarter. First they went after dogma directly with weak fighter, then the fighters got stronger, then they finally invaded nerv and read their files and then they started going after the children, their real enemy. They started with Shinji, but he escaped, then they went down the list. Toji, Asuka, Rei, and back to Shinji with Kaworu, the final boss. Cause every other angel had failed, so they just said fuck it, send a kid to do battle with them and see how that goes. If you can't beat em, join em. And we all know how that went. A conscious angel wound up realizing it was pointless and just offing himself.

Fleshing out the angels as a species, their way of thinking/living through Kaworu without relying on the cliche route of humanizing them or giving them some tragic backstory.

Kaworu is presented through and through as an alien and not human, and it's interesting to peer into the mind of a being completely foreign to us. And especially on how said being would react and think of us.

He's not portrayed as a character we have to agree with, or even sympathize with. We can think any way we like about him, the point is he decided with his own free will to give his life so humanity could survive.

He judged and valued them on his own merits, and to consider Kaworu's viewpoint one has to recognize just how accomplished and amazing humanity actually is.

Even with all the crazy and evil shit we do, here's a character who is portrayed as the ideal man in both the literal (He's Adam) and figurative sense (Shinji's infatuation with him), and yet he STILL thinks humans deserve to live more than him. Simply because their will and desire to live is so strong. Stronger than his.

To be is to do.

If Shinji is worthy of love, Kaworu will love him.

If humanity is worthy of the future, Kaworu will give them the future.

And in just 10 minutes I had all these thoughts just by experiencing Kaworu's character.
I don't blame hundreds of Anime for making their own clone versions of him like they did with Rei.
He brought something to the table that wasn't really done yet in Anime.

I just can't think he's anything but fantastic, not after how much of an impression he left on me, but I respect your opinion if you don't agree.
There is a lot of flaws / to critique him on, too. So I don't blame you for not liking him.

And with all of that he literally has no character
He's just said to be an ideal person who can understand everyone and who suddenly thinks without any build up that humans must survive because they want to. He's not a character, he's an idea written specifically for MC. A character in Eva has reasons, Kaworu has no reasons for his behavior save for him discovering humanity's survival instinct and flaws, for some reason. He's a plot instrument, but no character.

Jesus Christ, just watch episode 24 again and pay attention this time.

>He's just said to be an ideal person who can understand everyone
He doesn't understand everyone, that's why he's so perplexed that humans want to survive so badly on his way down to Dogma.

He doesn't understand the basic human instinct of survival because he's a fucking angel.
His instinct and thought process are completely different that something so simple to us is like a puzzle to him.

>that humans must survive because they want to
It's the natural conclusion.

Kaworu doesn't particularly want to live or die. He says in the episode himself he doesn't care either way, it's the same thing to him.
So naturally, after seeing these humans who desire to live and connect with each other so badly, he thinks they deserve the future more than him. Simply because they want it.

>Kaworu has no reasons for his behavior
The fuck? There's reasons for every single thing he does. It makes complete sense an angel would act the way they do.

Your problem is you're expecting him to act like some human, you can't relate to an alien like him and naturally that frustrates you, but that's the whole point.

Most aliens and non-human characters in Anime are too god damned humanized it's just dumb, they act like humans so there's no point.

Kaworu actually acts like an alien or foreign being would and is supposed to. It's great.

And it's amazing considering he achieved it in just 10 minutes.

Pay attention to what he actually says next time instead of looking at the pretty colors.

And some people might make the mistake of thinking if Kaworu had more screentime for development he would be a better character, but it turns out no, they had it right the first time around, and if you give him more time it shows that he's just annoying.

I would rather call them "Shinji shippers", for their arguments are usually Shinji's ones.
They don't really care about Asuka or anything, but just want to see their autistic self-indert character together with her. Maybe just to please themselves.

Actually I would say they despise Asuka, since pairing her up with someone who did "that" to her in the hospital or who just sees her as a vulgar piece of meat, is really insane. It reminds me of those traditional Indian families who make their daughters marry their rapers. Really disgusting. Asuka doesn't deserve that.
