>>153351835
Gradual? I don't think he likes Asuka, but just as a friend. He doesn't see her that way. Maybe Asuka does however, but 14 years later people change.

as for originally, I'm surprised she didn't chase any boys in school instead of using and manipulating Shinji's attraction to her. Soryu was kinda cruel, she kinda deserve it.
>>
>>153352538
Good point. I think she knew how fucking oblivious Shinji was. He is an idiot after all :^)

Should have been more on Shinji's side, he was attracted to her, but didn't know what to think of it.

You haven't watched Evangelion.
>>
>>153356543
>Sounds like Asuka, doesn't sound like Rei.
But that's not really true at all. There's nothing mysterious about Asuka. She is a spoiled brat that's extremely predictable, so predictable that her character never develops over the course of the series. There isn't anything puzzling about Asuka either, she doesn't ask or with her character pose any difficult questions to the viewer. It's a character that's easy to understand because the series goes into depth explaining her character. She is presented as a spoiled brat with mommy issue, and the big reveal of the character IS that she is just that.

With Rei, you've got the mystery of just who she is beneath it all, something which is worked up towards the end of the series. Through Rei's character, we are asked various questions about ourselves, about who we are - and as we watch Rei trying to piece that together, perhaps if the viewer is attentive, so will he or she. Rei's character is based around asking questions and trying to understand herself. There is a deep enigma because unlike Asuka, Misato or even Shinji, we are presented with a truth: Rei isn't human, but something else - what exactly is never concretely answered. It is a mystery.

>Also blue doesn't have any suffering, maybe some conflict but not suffering.

Are you some sort of waifufaggot Asukafag? Rei spent most of her life suffering through a nightmare she thought she had no control over. She was raised in a lab, abused and threatened by death by those around her, and was forced to find meaning in this existence by herself. No parents, no safety, only a prison.

You go into such great detail of Rei yet you simplify Asuka to such a cheap standard.

She's not a spoiled brat either, she had parents that abandoned her and died in front of her. The fact you say this shows how much you hate Evangelion, especially when you insult one of its most important characters. When you cheapen Asuka like that, you also insult Shinji because he's exactly the same.

Asuka also feels more relatable and real, that's why Asukafags like her so much.
>>
>>153357425
It's not cheapening the characters at all, it's talking about who and what they really are. You're the one who hates Evangelion since you can't deal with it's depressing nature with it's lack of ideal and pure "heroines", so you try to invent a new Asuka that fits your fantasy.

The original Asuka did indeed have a trouble past, but she was still a spoiled brat, and acted like it, and her final scenes reveal it as the truth. She was pampered as the #1 pilot, got hammered by reality, and ends up comatose. In her confrontation with herself, powered by instrumentality through Rei, Asuka comes to accept that this pompous figure she had wanted to be, was not her true self. She was indeed, a spoiled brat.

Shinji is not the same in any way, and you only say it because you're a shipper - the real reason for why you like Asuka, as a jerk-off toy to pair with Shinji. Hideaki Anno nails you to a cross in EoE, showing you jerking off to Asuka as a lifeless sex doll - a figure with no real will.

That's the real Evangelion which you seek refuge from in your fantasies.

In your previous posts you called Asuka a plainly written bitch. That's simplying it, and now resorting to ad hominem rather than defending your arguments.

Like I said before, an attack on Asuka is an attack on Shinji. Both are actually manifestations of Anno when he was depressed and suicidal.

Difference be is that The princess (Kushana) revered her mother for saving her outright from the poisoned wine, and wishes to destroy her family to survive and rule Game of Thrones style.

Asuka however hates her mother for abandoning her; choosing a Doll over a real person after the Antarctica contact disaster.

Asuka Wants to be the best in-order to get recognition from other people, recongnition that her mother did not give to her but to the Doll.

Asuka hates it when other people pay more attention to Dolls over her. Like when Shinji pays any attention to Rei.

Asuka was not a Spoiled Brat, She worked hard for everything, school (finishing college before age 14) and what not, and eventually to become a Eva pilot. However when Toji became one from thin air, she was furious that he became what she thought she worked hard for. In the end Asuka's mind break was a culmination from her realizing that all the effort she worked hard for was all actually mute, her zero sync rating/no one looking her from mom educed childhood-trauma.

Asuka is not a spoiled Brat, she was entitled; believing that she earned it after all her hard work.
>>
>>153359989
>she was entitled
>believing that she earned it after all her hard work

I like that summary she *should* have been the most skilled pilot but got fucked up by emotional shit and Shinji's ability to shine ironically when not in control that really starts to fuck with her. She probably showed the most skillful showing of pilotry in End of Evangelion when Shen accepted her Mom and fought the MPEs. Until she ran out of time and they regenerated

Eva is full of "good" people doing not great things.

Also stop replying to that anon, he shits up many threads.

Rei functions as a opposite to Asuka heavily for a lot of the series. Hell Shinji's Eva is the mixture of their colors Blue and Red.

I think Rei is someone without contact and anything related to self worth. Not even negitive, just she exists. You can see this a lot in the early episodes where she seems ready to die. She's not a functioning person stated by Misato/Ritsuko and does not react when Shinji enters her room or touches her, which would have been Shinji's life had Misato not taken him in. This is an ultimate contrast to Asuka the fiery red will compared to the calming blue. She is one who will fight off death even in the face of it as she actually chants "I will not die" repeatedly before getting killed by MPE's. She's also very popular and desires attension to survive, while piloting for her praise and that why she did work so hard.

Eh I'm sure there was more to it that this in the older post, but this is the gist

After the show is over, we at least know who Rei Ayanami is. With Asuka nobody knows what she's mad at all the time, in Intrumentality she screams at him that he never understood her and because of this it hurt her.

I just wonder why it affected Asuka so much.
>>
>>153361299
>>153361458
*Rei is an odd character showing someone without people life would be like. Shinji grew dangerously close to this state before Kensuke/Toji befriended him in that target practice simulation.

I think Rei's growth is mostly done by the time Asuka arrives as she's quite boring, but that's because that is all she's known in life. She doesn't respect her life leading to the awful/barren/dark room, that she rationalizes with being a clone. That's why when does slap Shinji it's about his father of all things, because he risked his life to save Rei II, specifically her when she can be made 100 times over again. She's still is ready to die, but by helping Gendo, the reason her treasury of his glasses being the one thing important to her. She also experiences this though Shinji's rescue after Ramiel with her as a shield and Shinji telling her to be happy. Only then does kind of tries being a bit more of a person and accompanying the other children to activities, but does end up sacrificing herself for Shinji and everyone else

New shit:
Also Rei II death kinda set the rest of the show's cast into a shitshow of problems. Removing any school children for Shinji to talk to, the last shreds of self worth for Asuka in her failure, and Misato and Shinji getting a bit seperate in Misato's response of sex to comfort him, and Misato saying fuck it all to Nerv and forcing Ritsuko to expose all the Rei's. Also opened up Shinji to Kaworu's give away attension, something he has not seen like EVER. (Not a fan of his, but he shows Shinji's happiness slipping away)
>>
>>153361672
Asuka is a crpytic fuck, but if you pay really close attension that's her way of showing Shinji her love and affection waiting for him to give some response. When he's left confused as fuck by the things she does, and for very good reason.

Shinji is like her mother at points, in the way of paying attention to a doll than her.

She wants Shinji to look at her and understand her. (although that feels incorrect saying it now)

Asuka did not get embraced by shinji after she initiated the kiss, dancing over saying what she wanted, like a child would.

Where as Misato Got Kaji to kiss her after she confesses her feelings-a mature thing to do.(minus the Alcohol loosening things a bunch)

in lamex terms
Asuka (closed about herself) got nothing out of Shinji.
Misato (open about herself) got something out of Kaji.

I mean that we know that Rei accepts herself for who she is, an avatar of Lilith.

>That scene is a continuation of (pic related) both Misato and Asuka wanted the men to respond to their Need of anyone. and hold them

Yeah, Asuka and Shinji observe how adults behave in the privacy of their bedroom between Misato and Kaji. For Shinji its sickens him, but Asuka finds it interesting "I wonder If I be like that when I grow up?"

Asuka decides to try it out, but Misato not to do it. Hearts melting into one, an unpleasant truth. However she doesn't know how because she's a hedgehog.

Also notice in following episodes with Kaji, Shinji and Asuka in the living room, ignoring one another. Listen to the tv, :one who is a bad kisser never works out"

Asuka is like the definition of a dependent person. She needs to give and receive attention all the time. Even in the scenes where the two of them are not talking, she is always exchanging signals with him non-verbally.
Irl she'd probably be the kind of person to text her crush five times before she went to sleep.

>>153369079
Asuka's original line was "I'll never be killed by you, absolutely not!"

Shinji was trying to kill her.

It was changed to "How Disgusting" because this is how Miyamura felt she would react to some creepy ugly dude masturbating over her.

If you think this is her winning the Shinjibowl you're delusional.

Right? Why do Asuka shippers always post the ugliest fucking drawings?

In that picture Shinji and Asuka look creepy and dead inside. I'd get nightmares from that shit.

I guess they can't handle the canon so much they rely on doujins and fanfiction to delude themselves with. Must suck.

He had been alone on that beach for at least a week. He wants to make sure he's in reality and he's not just hallucinating, but also reliving his desire to kill her.

>And why does she caress his cheek ?
To mimic Yui who caressed his cheek just a minute ago. That there is a possibility for humans to be nice to each other and understand each other, however small it is.
The final scene is about the rawest of raw emotions, about humanity itself, and how even through all the pain, we are still able to be nice to each other for even a moment, which makes that all worth it.

To completely ignore that beautiful message and change it to shipping bullshit like "Asuka won the Shinjibowl" shows you know nothing about NGE and don't care about it. You just want a harem.

She didn't win it, and she never will. It's not about that and it never will be.
You didn't understand her character or the final message. It's about something much more deep than that.

Evangelion will never be your fanfics, it will never make your doujins canon. Get over it and die.

You have absolutely no respect for what Anno was trying to create, you're disgusting and should be ashamed of yourself.

>The kitchen scene is not the reality, of course, it's happening in the Instrumentality.
Now, when we think about it, it's Asuka accusing Shinji of not caring for her and not understanding her (it's actually a moment of revelation for Asuka, she directly tells him what her problem with him was), not trying to understand and thus hurting her badly. Shinji is hungry for love, I don't like this phrasing but it is what it is. In it, he's no different from us, we all want to be cared for and loved. But what Shinji doesn't try to do is to understand the others truly and see what they want and what their problems are. In that sense, Asuka hates him for it. She hates him for not trying to reach out to her throughout the series (in that sense, it's actually Shinji who hurts Asuka all the time, not the other way around as many people insist) and tells him about it directly. How Shinji sees others is can also be reinforced by mother-child parallel. A child can't usually differentiate it's mother from itself. A mother is a source of love for a child. Shinji is similiar in a sense that he doesn't try to see others like actual others. While it's also Asuka's problem. They both are at fault whenever the other is hurt. Asuka acts aggressive and Shinji acts passive. I talked about it here >>153214372
He strangles her when she rejects him for being such an asshole and does it because he's nothing else left. He's been exposed, Asuka's spoken the truth. In that sense, the scene is similar to that disgusting masturbation scene, where Shinji's left with nothing and is cast down to his lowest - the primal instinct of sex. Here he's left with nothing and refused once again and he once again is cast tp primal instinct - death drive. Eros and Thanatos are reinforced throughout EoE numerous times. The whole sexual imagery thing is a metaphor. As for the beach, let's think. In the next post.

Now about the beach scene. >>153252913
This is some strange theory. In a sense that you see Shinji as a good pupil of good ol' Schopenhauer who instantly analyses the situation from an existential point of view. Shinji's been on that beach for a week or two. It was somewhere in the script I believe, but it's reinforced (I sure love this word) by "graves" he made and by rust on Misato's pendant. Imagine yourself in that situation. Imagining and self-inserting is actually one of the best ways to understand Eva. You're told that you're coming back to reality. You come back, with a promise that everybody can do it too and then you spend two or so weeks wandering throughout this wasteland covered in tang and you lose all the hope anyone would come back (one of two planned endings insisted that no one could come back but Shinji still decides to live on himself, that's how strong he actually becomes). You make graves for them, the people you understood you loved and cared for. And then out of nowhere, the poor girl you've hurt so much is there, beside you. not only her, but the freaky floating Rei is gazing at you, like some oni. You start to ask yourself questions. What the hell? What is this? Am I actually in reality? Shinji's eyes at the moment depict shock. So he decides to "check" what the hell is this. But he's angry of course. He wanted them to come back, he was reassured by his own mother they will and then what? So he chokes her, because he's nothing else left ONCE AGAIN. Anger, frustration, uncertainty and all of that. I guess that's what it is, but of course I'm not sure.

Asuka vs Rei shipping has no sense to begin with except for stupid waifufags.

Rei is his mother's clone ffs. I read the manga first and was shocked by how much more prominent she is in the series.

That's not interpretation, Evageeks tries to erase Asuka's complex character and make it seem like her only purpose in life is to get Shinji's dick.

They make a mockery of her character and don't really care about her. They use her for self-insertion to delude themselves into thinking a girl like her would like them and be able to be saved by them.

It's all about them wanting female characters who only exist for their dick and to validate their existence. They don't want a character who has purpose outside of that.

That's why they can't stand Asuka's canon character, they want her to be shallow and just a member of a harem for the Shinjibowl.

But she doesn't win it, it's never about that, and it never confirms their shipping desires.

Anyone who would desire that and ships them together actually despises Eva and doesn't respect it. Like this anon: >>153369571

There is hatred there, on both sides. It's explicitly stated and shown in the show.
Not to say they can't be nice to each other in the future, which is what the ending shows. There is hope that people can come to understand each other.

Well, you can clearly call em newfags on this sort of things, because i rewatched everything after 6 years and decided to go deeper.
Still, guy on wiki have his points and statements that can be disscused like scenes in EoE when Shinji talks with Asuka. We cant decide if this is real Asuka, or just projection in Shinji mind

And i find final scene of EoE confusing and ahrd to read. Interviews says that first concept was about Asuka responding to actual event (being choked by Shinji) but Anno changed it to answer past event (masturbation). But why the hell someone waking up after being torn to pieces by MPE and dissolving into LCL durnign instrumentality chooses to first adress scene from the begening of the movie. Just Like whole EoE was just Asuka nightmare dream.

Another thing, why the fuck even try to choke her? We dont know if he want to confirm if she's real, want to actually kill her or just reverted to that scene inside his mind and choke her like she asked him to do so.

>>153369821
So in short
Final EOE scene
Asuka cut line from development replies to actual event when Shinji tries to choke her
Actual line (based on interview) refers to past event, when EoE starts and Shinji amsturbates to her
Question is: why she replies to this, ignoring that she was in coma, awakened in eva + her mom, being shred to pieces, turn to LCL and revert back to human shape after instrumentality. And i state that maybe she's thinking that whole awakening, fight and instrumentality was a pure nightmare dream

Now Shinji reaction in EoE
All alone after instrumentality
We dont know for how long he's standing here
Suddenly Asuka pops up. He tries to choke her. And why?
Durning instrumentality, Asuka projection in his head (or real Asuka, we dont know) in short asks him to kill her
So, he chokes her because he thinks instrumentality doesnt end and this is still happening? Or he's just now broken so hard so that he reverted to basic instincs again (masturbation, now trying to kill someone). or maybe jsut try to confirm that she's real and he doesnt went insane from all this lonelines
>>
>>153370041
>she only got a couple episodes
She participates to every angel fights after her arrival until she's defeated and gets suicidal. That's hardly a couple of episodes, m8

>In your previous posts you called Asuka a plainly written bitch. That's simplying it, and now resorting to ad hominem rather than defending your arguments.

It's not a simplification any more than describing Asuka as a "sad insecure girl" is a simplification. You don't simply like hearing that Asuka is a bitch.

>and now resorting to ad hominem rather than defending your arguments.
I did defend my conclusion from the start, you never defended what you said, you just attacked me. In retaliation, I properly dismantled your position. You defend yourself with nonsense like

>Like I said before, an attack on Asuka is an attack on Shinji. Both are actually manifestations of Anno when he was depressed and suicidal.

which is simply shipper talk. It's not an attack on Asuka, and it does not magically carry over to Shinij. This makes no sense, and it is the words of a shipper.

>>153359989
>WRONG see>>153359085 about the past.

He's wrong, just like you are. Asuka did not hate her mother, and the effect is the same. Kushana and Asuka were traumatized in the same way, they lose their mother using the exact same devices: loss of sanity, rejection, and then they choose a doll instead, thinking it is Asuka. The point is that Asuka does have a troubled past, and that this past is a ripoff from Kushanas.

This is undeniable.

>Asuka was not a Spoiled Brat, She worked hard for everything, school (finishing college before age 14) and what not

This is a lie. Asuka never worked hard for anything, the fact that she is an EVA-pilot was decided by her mother, not because Asuka worked hard. You are making up fantasy stories about what Asuka did off screen, rather than accepting what Asuka did on screen.

Yes, you are rejecting the canonical Asuka by projecting a fantasy ideal waifu on top of her. The Asuka as shown onscreen does not match well with a person who works hard, but arguably Misato, Shinji and Rei does.

Asuka was a spoiled brat because she was brainwashed into being one, it's that simple. She was told she was special, given the most advanced EVA's, and generally lived in a bubble of her own delusions. Contrast that with Rei, who is a person more in touch with reality and therefore doesn't break down whenever reality betrays her.

The facts are that the point of Asuka's character is that she was truly a spoiled brat who acted like a bitch, and that this was something she did to cover up her insecurities. She never worked hard or had talent, and she accepts that by the end. You don't because you're an Asukafag shipper.

They don't, though? People write college essays on analyzing her character since the 90s. Anno and others poured a lot of their own insecurities and feelings into these characters and it showed. You are the one dragging everything into shipping because you yourself are insecure about something.
>>
>>153370201
Indeed, that's what is really good with NGE. Characters are very realistic and convincing in their problems and interactions. I've yet to understand how Anno could pull this shit because it's really impressive.
But to come back to Asuka, she's fairly developped as well, she had a fucked up life, too, her mom killed herself after getting insane, preferring her doll to her own daughter. Her bitchy ways are mainly a shell she uses to protect herself from others, just like Shinji tends to flee to avoid suffering. They're both very similars, while being opposite in the way they face reality. That's why their interactions too are pretty interesting, and it's nice to see both characters progressing as the show goes on. For good (Shinji winning some confidence) and bad (Asuka completely breaking apart).

Dude Asuka is a genius who graduated in physics at 14. You can't say she's not talented. Also she was the one with the highest synchronization before Shinji rose up.

>After the show is over, we at least know who Rei Ayanami is. With Asuka nobody knows what she's mad at all the time, in Intrumentality she screams at him that he never understood her and because of this it hurt her.

That's not really true at all. Now that Rei's real identity is revealed to be Lilith, there is an enormous part of Rei that we no longer know. We know that Lilith existed, gave birth to mankind and eventually found her way into becoming Rei, and then is changed by that. Rei then moves on to be something more godlike, something that's actually beyond human comprehension. There are shifts in time, Rei is transcendent - we can no longer pinpoint exactly who, where or when Rei really is.

We only get to know the basics which conclude Rei's character arc, between her understanding herself, and her relationships with particularly Shinji and Gendo. These things had been concretely building up as we go. But then there's the rest.

Asuka is a much simpler and cheaper character to understand. She is static and doesn't offer any intellectual exercise for the viewer, and she has practically zero development. She is a cliched character (and a copy in fact) insofar that she is the classic individual who is defined entirely by her past trauma which she cannot move on from. This more or less seals the character as a non-mystery, we've already seen all there is to see. It's just an exercise of the inevitable and predictable from start to end.

We know why Asuka is, in short terms, a bitch - it is because she's insecure about herself. That was telegraphed since the very first scene, she attacks the children for having seen her panties, even if it wasn't their fault. The entire character basics in that one scene, although without the specifics which come later. It never changes from that point on.
>>
>>153370307
Yeah, but they didn't focus on Asuka enough for me to care.

I cared about Misato and Shinji because they developed them and always put them in the spotlight.

Asuka having a shitty past doesn't excuse how much of a cunt she was. I was happy and cheering when that angel rekt her.

You're desperate. Graduated in physics? Where did you get this from? Show me the citation!

Highest sync? Well obviously, she had no competition proper! We learn later that synch means nothing, and Rei who has the worst sync of all the three pilots ended up being the most reliable pilot anyway.

Thank you for demonstrating that people don't like the original Asuka, but only the one in their sex fantasies.

>>
Asuka fans who say "Shinji and Asuka are the same!" are simply shippers projecting their fanfics onto the characters. Shinji and Asuka are very different.

Shinji is not a slave to the Evangelion like Asuka is, in this respect he's more like Rei.
Shinji does not take his frustrations out on everyone else, and nor is he dependent on constant self-delusion. Whereas Asuka lives in a world where she's not the worst, Shinji considers himself very lowly. He's more like a mix of Rei and Misato at this, as Rei considers herself very objectively, and Misato also thinks poorly of herself. They don't lie to themselves, thinking that they are better than what they are. They aim a bit too low, actually.

Yet she can't do anything on her own, nor is given any critical task because Shinji is the superior pilot. Why ? Because he has a deeper link with the eva, and thus, the better pilot.

And you yourself state thats its hard to compare mindbroken childs with clone of deceased person, raised in complete closure from other people, shown in 3 instances (Rei I souls in eva 00, Rei II and Rei III after II selfdestruced to kill angel), made with single purpose to connect gendo with his wife + many other things

You want to compare pure humans to something thats human only in shape, because you said youself - its beyond comprehension
>>
>>153370528
>Are you for real ?
Obviously. Did you think sync is everything that matters? The series demonstrates that to pilot and show ones skill, you only need to be above a certain cutoff point. Never once in any battle did they fail because their sync ratios were not high enough, only when it went below the cutoff point and they couldn't pilot at all.

Sync ratio was a metric idiots like Asuka obsessed over because they thought they could "win" in it, while it meant nothing. Smarter people like Rei never cared, and Shinji only cared when he was praised for it.

>Yet she can't do anything on her own, nor is given any critical task because Shinji is the superior pilot. Why ? Because he has a deeper link with the eva, and thus, the better pilot.

What are you talking about? Rei is given critical tasks all the time. She holds up the giant shield in front of Shinji and tanks the entirety of the Angel's beam, she carries the Lance of Longinus down to Lilith and is the one to pull it out, she throws it into orbit, snipes at an Angel in outer space and hits, and she's the very core of NERV's black projects.

Asukafags are as pathetic as Asuka - do you really think a persons skill can be reduced to a two-digit number? Do you think that ablity to focus and stay cool in a combat situation doesn't matter? Do you think that being able to sync 2% more with your EVA makes you a better pilot? If that was the case, why wasn't ASuka the best pilot? Why did Asuka constantly fuck up while Rei aced nearly everything?

And, the only similiar woth them are
1. parents problem
2. inability to communicate with other
3. 14 years old child with all that comes from this (illogical decisions, emotional moves etc)
Asuka pilots Eva to show that she's the best and want everyone to know this
Shinji pilots eva because he's somehow forced to do this, he doesnt know why he even pilot it until later, when he states that maybe its because he want to be praised (mostly from gendo) for this

And there similiarity ends

Captain? She was never said to be captain in NGE at all. Yet another piece of proof that Asukafags hate the original Asuka and need to make up bullshit about her.

>Later in episode with swiming pool, its said that he went/graduated college/ Shinji even comented on this about why she has bad grades and she replies that she cant read japanesee after all

Put one and two together. Does this mean she graduated physics like you said? No.
Does this mean she is a captain like you said? No.
Doesn't it seem suspicious that her grades suck, and that she's supposedly smart? Yes.

Put one and two together. Asuka acts like a moron the entire series. She isn't smart.
>>
>>153370524
This, Shinji is the most like Misato.
Even his relationship with his father is the same, hence why Misato was projecting on him. She saw herself in him.

>>153370638
Because Asuka's complex was seeing some of herself in Shinji, and she despised that about her. Seeing the weakness in herself.

But Shinji is more like Misato and Rei than any other character. He even says he's like Rei, and even Kaworu in episode 24.

>>153370388

The quote you describe exists, but is said by Shinji. It does not mean that they are the same. In NGE, Shinji says he's the same as Rei in episode 25, for instance. Does that make them the same. Think broader, they're both lonely and human. That's as far s it goes.

Asuka fans like yourself rape Evangelion constantly, and are a scourge on the fanbase. Without you, things would be better.

>Anno explained that the TV version of Rei was overwhelmingly more attractive because she was a mystery, however, by the time that the series was complete, she was known to the fans. In light of that, the movies opted to work more with Asuka and the fans caught on.

Context is Anno rationalizing that Asuka is becoming more popular than Rei. Anno is here admitting that he's "working more with Asuka", in other words trying to make the character more popular. Because as we've seen from the spinoffs, the new Asuka is incompatibale with the old Asuka. So they aren't working "more" with Asuka, except in the area of making her more popular. Ironically by copying aspects from Rei and removing them from her.

In NGE and EoE, Rei is far more of an enigma than Asuka, and this is amazing considering Rei actually is a more progressively developed character.

The critical task in this case is in fact to defend. Without the defense, Shinji cannot fire. The firing process is also automated, all Shinji has to do is pull the trigger, aiming at a stationary target. Rei has to endure hellfire all the while.

If you were a commander, and let's be fair here, so drop your waifufaggotry: you'd realize that holding the line is even more important than firing. They have no problems with targeting the Angel and firing on it, they've done so the entire episode. That is not the critical component. The Angel always fires back in defense, and defense is where they always fail. Thus introducing Rei on defense will enable their plan to actually work.

>Yes, because she's Gendo's puppet and knows about Nerv's secrets.
Rei isn't Gendo's puppet, and she doesn't know all of NERV's secrets. Asuka is more Gendo's puppet than Rei is, ironically.

>Well she objectively was
no, she wasn't. She got her EVA trashed multiple times and screwed up nearly every single mission. Canon Asuka is not the neo-Shikinami Asuka .

And your interpretation is 'he said she graduated college, that means she's a genius and better character that one i like. And she cannot be genius because i dislike her"

And my opinions is: someone graduading college as a child have poarticular skill or predisposition to do this, because average person doesnt attend college

The point does not stand. We have established that you can arbitrarily make up things and lie about NGE. Let's see how you've presented untruths this time with your conclusion:

You do not know if Asuka actually graduated college, nor which college she has graduated. Without knowing these, you cannot ascertain that she is a genius. You only have yet again, your own fantasy fabricating a delusion.

Secondly, the idea that Asuka is a genius is quickly put down by the fact that she has poor grades, and acts like an idiot throughout the entire show. She does not possess the traits of a genius, such as curiousity and a wish to understand. Rei has those traits, and Shinji too, but not Asuka. She blatantly denies understanding new things as they pop up. She is a puppet of NERV, not a genius, it's a tragedy you deny by replacing it with a waifu.

In summary: the series contradicts the notion that Asuka is a genius, and you cannot determine whether or not someone is a genius for holding a college degree.

I hold three university degrees FYI. I do not consider myself a genius. If we're going to be realistic, Asuka's "college" was simply a degree in EVA-piloting.
>>
>>153371267
see >>153371283

You make up facts to support Asuka, because the series doesn't give you any facts that do support her. The truth is that these are damaged, screwed up children, not the waifu you believe it to be.

You don't think about things critically, if you did you'd realize that it requires a lot more than a bragging statement from a character who is prone ( in fact, desperately reliant on) exaggerating her own achievements. Even if Asuka does hold a college degree, we can't say anything unless we know what college degree it is.

You are at every turn pathologically redecorating Evangelion by adding flattering "facts" about Asuka to it, facts that were never in the story. Just listen to how bad it is:

You would rather conclude that Asuka is a genius because she graduated college, rather than conclude that she's not based on the fact that she conistently fails and acts like a moron throughout the entire series.

You prefer fantasy over reality - you did not get Evangelion.

I was with you until this. We do confirm that Asuka has bad grades in the show. It's said by Misato and Asuka admits to it. Moreover, it's not simply about the bad grades. You left out the fact that Asuka consistently refuses to learn throughout the show. Not consistent with being a genius, and constant obviously poor decision-making shows us that she lacks any form of discipline.

>But you're the one whoa ctualy do the same and accuse other of this aka ingoring facts and being triggered because someone shows you statement from the show you dislike

This is just butthurt incoherent rambling. Your sentence doesn't even add up. We already established that anons pretended she had a degree in physics, and that she was a captain in episode 9. They (you) are simply not capable of keeping your record straight, you do not actually know Asuka the character. You know Asuka the pandering waifu.

>For a expert watcher of NGE its strange that you ignore statement, translating from japaneese and in short "school is boring, i already know all this(things teached at school) and my bad grades comes from this that i cant read questions in katakana and i only go to school to learn how to actualy read this"

First of all
rewatch ep9, then 10 and 11
Fact about character:
1. Graduated College. We dont know her grades and spec like philospohy, math, languages etc
2. Comes to japan as a choosen pilot by Marduk Institute 9Aka by Gendo own choosing)
3. Her public goal is to pilot eva and be best in it
4. She have bad grades like Shinji. Stated by Misato
5. Later he shows Shnji that she can do his 'homework" wit ease
6. Questioned about why she have bad grades when she do the thing easily
7. She replies, that he cant read in japaneese, she's interested in piloting eva only and she doesn't care about school
option: maybe she's not interested in learning things twice, when only block here is the language. But this isn't stated anywhere

And cut it off with this shipfaging. For me having affection to 14 old fictional girl is a symptom of pedophilia

What about growing up and aknowleding that its possible to discuss about actual character, and not about which character is better tah other?

Thats why i called this thread shit when reifags and asukafags come in. Because you cant stand disscusion about character without constantly comparing it to another. the fun part is that i never in thsi thread even stated that some character is better than others, when most of you calls another one idiot because he likes X more than Y

Could be true. Asuka at this stage actually could be lying since she's unreliable when it comes to describing herself. But accepting that it's true still means we don't know if that makes her a genius or not. Her grades or spec could be womens studies, or even EVA piloting.

>2 / 3 / 4 / 6

Yes.

>6/7
No. It's said that she can't read the katakana, something she should be able to do at her age, especially if she has a college degree or is genius. This shows that Asuka is if anything, normal intellectually or at least on the same page as Shinji.

The point is, concluding that Asuka is a "genius" is little more than unfettered waifufaggotry. It deeply contradicts what actually happened in the show, which was Asuka acting like a dunce. We have undeniable evidence that Asuka fans ITT make up things about Asuka and then defend it. This is a problem.

Precisely. She has no degree in physics, she has no rank of captain, and these are just of the many lies Asuka fans tell themselves (and others) to avoid the fact that Asuka in NGE is worse than the rest of the characters. Asuka is the ultimate waifu character precisely because of the denial and ecsapism it promotes in it's fans.

It goes further - earlier we've got Asuka fans claiming that Shinji is the same as Asuka - even though that is patently not true for everyone who watched NGE. This shit just never ends. The constant rape of a good story with great characters has to end. Why is it almost always Asuka fans?
>>
>>153372033
Im avoiding whole genius thing mostly because of this. And my opinion on topic is that after she got college in germany, she thinks she dont need to re-learn same thing again but in another language. And as a 14 years old child she acts stupidly(or jsut too proud, which in thsi case means stupid) and takes bad grades instead of voicing teachers that problem doesnt leis in ehr knowledge, but in fact that she cannot read the question thus answer properly to it.
>>
>>153372165
>And my opinion on topic is that after she got college in germany, she thinks she dont need to re-learn same thing again but in another language.

While not unreasonable, it is still fanwank. Again, if we want to not be fanwankers, we have to question why Asuka, a supposed genius and a 14 year old who knows japanese does not know simple childrens kanji. Moreover, how unlikely is it for the teachers to give Asuka questions she does not understand?

Taking into account the fact that Asuka is a pathological liar when it comes to who she is, and the enitre point of her characters resolution in NGE was in fact to admit that she wasn't this "genius", it's safe to consider the fact that Asuka is simply a dumb, insecure puppet girl. Exactly like how she's portrayed in her past and future.

The thing is, Evangelion as a franchise and fanbase is a warzone.

It all comes down to the cataclysmic event that was the conclusion of the original series. The characters were presented, flawed as they were, and things were good. Rei was the most popular, and was praised by critics as a more original character versus the more "standard" of other characters. Needless to say, Rei made an impact.

>You know, he uses very typical characters in >>Evangelion<< such as Shinji, Asuka, Misato, Rei is very exceptional, no doubt.
>The characters are described as happy and communicative; typical Sci-Fi anime such as Asuka. Rei is of course very exceptional.

Some people could not just deal with this. They looked at Rei's popularity, and were envious. Surely Asuka, Misato or Kaworu deserved a bigger spotlight? It's deeply entrenched into the otaku psyche to act like this. It's why rankings and bitterness about them exist, and Anno is no exception:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvLfQSoVhrM

He wrote this, and on numerous occasions commented on character popularity as a negative or positive depending on whether or not he likes the character.

Anno's reataliation and revenge was to modify future Evangelion, it's spinoffs, and would-be sequels into promoting Asuka and harshly demoting Rei. This only gets worse as time goes on, and eventually we end up with a brainwashed fanbase who overhypes Asuka and looks down on Rei.

As you can see from >>153372162
the new "canon" of Rebuild where yes, Asuka is actually said to be a captain and has finished college as a larger part of the character background, is now projected unto the old. The Asuka fans and other fans cannot help themselves. It's a cartoon and source of enjoyment, and people are going to do just that even if it means unconsciously getting a lot of things wrong.

Anno has abused this fact, and used it to promote his own otaku interest in the characters. This is a zombie franchise.

By teacher question i mean ones on the test. As far as i know you cant get grades in jap school by verbaly answering questions
So, she gets a test, she cant read it because language barrier. Instead of voicing this, she chooses to remain sillent, ignore bad grades and well, act stupid and childlish like 14 years old child. And that somehow fit "pathological liar" theme, because she (maybe ) tells Shinjit he truth behind grades, but chooses to say no word about this to Misato/teachers. She refuses to learn language, thus being able to understand something "other". She lies and refuses to understand things, from simple grades to communicating with people

Well, its all childlish after all with "wee, i ignore everything because i only want to be best eva pilot" when inside she want someone to understand her, while she does everything to be considered inlikeable retard

The point is also that the situation is unlikely. Would the teachers provide Asuka with questions in Japanese if she doesn't understand it? It's under NERV control, they know everything there is to know about her.

...and yes, you're absolutely right. But is that behavior you describe possible to unify with that of a "genius" or a "smart" person? It very clearly is not. Asuka is a 100% brainwashed puppet, which is the actual point the series is pushing through.

Attraction doesn't connote love.

Are you kidding ? 2.0 was a shitfest where everyone's character was butchered, Asuka first. She was a generic tsundere with the complete lack of impact she had in NGE while Rei had much more importance in the plot and as a character. The final scene is even Shinji trying to save her and provoking third impact.

Why did Reifags get so butthurt when 3.0 came out do you think ? And Asuka is barely in 3.0 to begin with, so don't start this shit. Rebuils is a mess with no winner so far

I scrolled on wiki some 'genius" personas. people being ultra-good on single topic, but bad at many another thing - from math, alnguages to communication and simple task as making coffee
Now i think she's not a "genius", but a person that everyone encountered in school - dumb in relations, unable to use aquired knowledge, but with ability to search and learn thing just to get the good grades. Like "he says A works with B" because she memorized from book that statement. ist enought to answer te question on test, but he cant explain how this work

Yes. This is why it is important to understand WHY it is a zombie franchise and a warzone, and it's important to treat it as such. People taking the Rebuilds series are essentially the combatants.

>>153372749
You're kidding obviously. No one disagrees that the characters were changed in 2.0, and in part 1.0 for that matter, but the thing people disagree about is HOW they were changed. You may write this:

>She was a generic tsundere with the complete lack of impact she had in NGE while Rei had much more importance in the plot and as a character. The final scene is even Shinji trying to save her and provoking third impact.

but how is this any different from how Asuka and Rei were in NGE during the first twelve episodes or so? Asuka never had much importance in the plot or the story, she was a foil to Shinji who had no chance to affect anything. Rei was always a cornerstone of the plot and something we would always return to when it came to moving the story onwards in some way. Rei is also a foil to Shinji and even Asuka, just as they become foils to them. This is what complex character interaction looks like.

What did change with 2.0 as far as Asuka is concerned, is that Asuka was stripped of all flaws and becomes more "ideal". This however does not mean she can't be a good character by the end of the story. 3.0 ends that possibility however, which is why many are angry.

With Rei, we went from a character that was growing and very much possible to develop further, into a complete dismissal, abandonment and destruction of the character, on a very, very base level.

Asuka has less screentime, this is because Rebuild spends more time on attacking Rei than it does on promoting Asuka. That's how it always works.

Yeah, but if we consider that definition, that of a genius who is great at one thing, but bad at the rest - what exactly is Asuka good at? Is it math, physics, english, japanese? We simply don't know. We can't tell if Asuka is a genius or not. We can't tell what she's good at.

The truth is, and this is shown further in the Rebuilds which strongly aims to idolize Asuka: it's just a moe trait. It's a facetious, superficial and vague statement about a character that's flattering and invites escapism in filling out the holes with whatever you want it to be. There is nothing concrete about Asuka finishing college, there is nothing concrete about her being a ranked officer of an army, it's simply injection points for otaku imagination.

It's shallow, and people who cannot see that are equally shallow.

>>
>>153373012
What? I read this everywhere. It's just the truth.

>>153373055
Rather, why do you agree with the facts, but disagree with the obvious conclusion? Yes Rei does indeed die not just once, but twice in the original series, but the difference from Rei in NGE and Rebuilds is that the original Rei is one consistent character. Even when Rei dies in episode 23, she comes back minutes later and continues to develop.

In Rebuild Rei dies halfway into the series while still lacking major character points that actually make Rei's death mean something. In NGE, Rei died in episode 23, that's at the very end of the series! Rei's death was pushed forward so they could remove the character from the story.

What's more, they bring in Rei Q, who isn't Rei. But Rei III fills the same "plot role" of being a Rei that Shinji cannot communicate with properly, and therefore with Rei Q, Rebuild has sabotaged and made impossible the development of Rei II's character. There is no room for it in Rebuild.

To say that Rei isn't a victim of Rebuild would be a lie. It's as true as everything else we've agreed on.

Asuka isn't stated to be a genius - this is the erronous wish-fulfillment delusion some Asuka fans spread. The show does not in any way support that she is a genius. Even if we just conisder EVA-piloting, the true genius is Shinji.

It all goes to show that ASuka fans are incapable of processing the real, objective facts of Evangelion. Even if Rei does things better than Asuka, such as in the twister episode, or Asuka makes obvious miscalculations like with Zeruel, they dismiss it and still pretend she's a genius. Evenif the story shows that hey, there are people that are far better than Asuka.

Asuka was made to be an idol-like character. The point of Evangelion is to subvert this archetype, and show you how shallow it is, and show you that Asuka is nothing more than a broken doll. It is contrasted with Rei whose appearance and demeanor does indeed remind one of that of a doll, but as the series shows, Rei had an iron integrity and an indomitable will that could not be broken.

Stop it with this meme. No one wants a waifu war, but Evangelion itself has become waifu war. Do you think Reifags, Asukafags, Kaworufags and so on are actually HAPPY with having to attack each other constantly, or be attacked? I know I'm not.

But I also know that I have no choice as long as I want to exist somewhere in the Evangelion fandom. Without critical voices from all sides, Evangelion as a community will atrophy even more than it has already done. The waifu war should have ended twenty years ago, but it never did because Anno kept breathing into it's flames.

Rei's great just as a Spock kind of scifi character, with her ego strong as fuck, but it's been externalized into her idea of Gendo. Where her struggle is to take her ego back into herself and build something with it. But her development is sparse throughout much of the middle of the series. It acts as a backbone for the rest of the show before Rei literally becomes a god of self actualization.

Asuka is the story of building your ego and person on a castle of sand, and needing it to get knocked down so you can just start building it back together.

Shinji builds pyramids in the sand in between smashing them and hiding his head in said sand.

All these characters are fantastically written and singing them down to emotionless doll, pussy, and histrionic bitch is just waifufag retardation.
>>
>>153378600
Except "histrionic bitch" is quite literally an accurate description of Asuka.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histrionic_personality_disorder

>a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive attention-seeking emotions, usually beginning in early adulthood, including inappropriately seductive behavior and an excessive need for approval. Histrionic people are lively, dramatic, vivacious, enthusiastic, and flirtatious.
>They may exhibit sexually provocative behavior, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and can be easily influenced by others. Associated features include egocentrism, self-indulgence, continuous longing for appreciation, and persistent manipulative behavior to achieve their own needs.

Whereas "emotionless doll" doesn't match Rei because she has emotions, and is not a doll. "Pussy" doesn't match Shinji either because he is at the end of the day, risking life and limb with little training. Shinji was only ever sane to point out that he wasn't well equipped for the task.

>>153379091
No. Evangelion fans often hate Anno.
Evangelion waifufags are fans, and they hate Anno the most. Anno said he's afraid of Asuka fans if he did certain things with her in the movie.

Those who aren't fans criticize Eva, which Anno himself doesn't mind because he criticizes it all the time. He's done interviews with Mangaka who criticized him on Eva and he enjoyed their remarks and often agreed with them.
>>
>>153369149
She's calling herself disgusting. She just committed her first act of altruism in the whole series and it feels unnatural.

The only way the ship works is if they have hatesex then spend the next 14 years growing up. THEN maybe it'd work once they're adults.
>>
>>153379368
If they hate Anno, how are they fans of Anno? That's what I meant. For Neon Genesis Evangelion fans, Asuka fans, etc... then I agree.

But "Eva fans" are fans of EVA, that is, also the current Evangelion and how it has evolved. "Eva" is a moving target. You can be a fan of Rei and NGE, but hate Eva and Anno. That much is true.

We're on the same page, except with Anno. Do you really think he could stand true criticism concerning how he's taken the franchise? Do you seriously think Anno criticizes how he's been making Evangelion into a brainless waifu franchise? I don't think so, I don't see any evidence for that at all.

>>
>>153379528

I believe in a recent interview he even admitted to making Rebuild mostly for money, so I don't know.

In all honestly, he seems to be embarrassed by Eva and not very emotionally attached to it.

He didn't admit as much, and the thing is that admitting that he just "does it for the money" is actually a more preferable, and nicer sounding version of what it is the actual truth.

He is remaking Evangelion in order to affect popularity between characters, something far more pathetic than just wanting more dosh.

In the first stage, waifufags care. Hideaki Anno is such a waifufag, insofar he has a strong bias against Rei but heavily supports Asuka and Kaworu. This obsession of Anno has results, it first and foremost creates worse works. Asuka and Kaworu fandom is directly responsible for Rebuild and the poor quality in spinoffs. There is no desire to honestly portray a story, only to pander and ruin other parts of Evangelion.

This ends up affecting everyone because now Evangelion is shallow and poorly written, and here we are.

Be afraid of the dog that doesn't bark.
>>
>>153380482
>>153379368
He says he's afraid of Asuka fans, because he's an Asuka fan himself. He is unable to treat Asuka fairly and must mistreat Rei. This creates monsters like
>>153380423
>>153380307
who are dependent on pandering and then spread their hate to the fanbase.

It's the tragedy of Asuka repeated all over again. They need to be broken down, just like Asuka was.
>>
>>153380482
If he was afraid of Reifags he wouldn't have done the Rei Q thing or ever said anything bad about her. But he did it without hesitation.

However he's too afraid to age up Asuka and received a bunch of backlash just for her death in EoE, he's afraid of them and so he complies with them.

The Reifags didn't do anything to him even after he shit all over Rei. They're pussies.

Hmm, I get really really sad when I hear people complain about characters or shitting on each other for something like red vs blue war.
I never understood that. As far as I know, all the characters are manifestations of the Master's psyche. Now to understand that we actually need to kind of understand Anno himself. What was the point of Eva? What's the point of any piece of art for that matter? Now the point is to communicate. The artwork, or, in our case, the animated series, is a way for Anno to express himself. Something which is hard for him to do verbally. If you watch his interviews or read his wife's manga, or read/watch Aoi Honō you'll see that the Master is actually a very talented person, but he's pretty weird, a bit "autistic". He doesn't say shit about Eva not because he's angry or hates his fans (I despise this meme), it's because he wants you to understand him through that, not in the other way around. And if you manage to do that, he'd be happy. Now, the characters of Evangelion have a very special place in my heart. Since the moment I watched it, they became something like a guide to me and my close friends. A guide to understand people, our own nature. And it's very painful and bizarre for me to see people waifuing and shipping and fighting for the characters that are supposed to help you understand yourself through themselves. Like, what's the point? But all that is uninteresting bullshit anyway. What's the real discussion? Do we have any new questions?

But he didn't do anything to them, anon. The characters I love exist only in my head and they are manifestations of his psyche from 1996 TV series. No one can take them from me. If they were real people and he mutilated them on screen, that'd be something different of course, but they're not.
>>
>>153380628
So from the start. Somehow i and many others anon rewatched NGE, rebuild , EoE and somehow some days ago a ncie thread appeared. Its my first time when i actually try and want to understand series better, so 20 years of fan theories, disscusions wars etc are complete alien to me

So i've taken occasions and started to voice my questions, using various sites (and some anons enlightened me about my errors). tried to confront some arguments, look up if i actually skipped something or didnt paid much attention.

I found confronting facts and interpretation very fun. It provides logic anwers to question unanswered by Anno int he show or in interview.

And its hard to disscuss characters like Rei and Asuka, when most anons feel endangered by pure facts or arguments i use to try and validate something and instead of answer and/or counter-argument all what i can get is 'lol stupid rei/asukafag you cant comprehend the depth of rei/asuka". The truth is i like both characters and in my view its stupid to disscuss 'who's better" because this show isn't about which girl will get the Shinji
>>
>>153380399
Not him, but its more that you all claim objectivity and claim the victim card while acting like every other faggot in these threads has been active in fanbase politics for years.

Really, alot of people like Asuka because struggling with pride and ego is relatable, so we find it objectionable when you guys project your stereotype of shipperfags onto the rest of us.

I find the Aspects of her story involving how she comes to know that she's full of shit to be the highlight of the show, because I've gone through them and I know they're necessary.

As for replacing the old Asuka with a new one, I have to thoroughly disagree. Wanting a happy ending after EoE isn't the same as replacing the character.

I don't watch a Rei scene and shit on her for not talking back to Gendo sooner. I don't understand this need to shit on a character where half of her appeal is sympathy for the fact that she's gonna have to get destroyed to learn her lessons.

>>153380809
He never did anything to the originals, he hasn't George Lucas'd them. They're still there.

I don't care that Evageeks faggots are pushing bad fanfiction, or that he's pushing this or that in rebuild, when there's obviously no reason to give a shit about the new versions of the character.

Oh, I understand you, it's pretty hard to get unbiased conversation on a subject as emotionally touching as Eva. Truth is, no one is better, because they're not real, they are there to give us understanding of ourselves. And I, of course, find it disgusting when people start trying to prove which character is "objectively" better, that's the most retarded thing you can do about Eva. I like all the characters equally too and I'm completely devoid of any preferences on shipping or any other shit for that matter. So, what were the actual questions you were interested in?

I don't WANT to be part of waifu identity politics.

But apparently because I don't outright condemn what is supposed to be a tragic character and jump on your side, the I'm automatically part of the group that wants to destroy Rei.

I differentiate between Reifag's who like the character, and the stereotypical Gendos who are into her for her shyness.

I don't see this distinction coming from the other end too often. I see Reifag's shitting on Asuka instead of promoting Rei, all the while complaining about Asukafags doing the inverse. Everybody's doing the same shit but it's all okay for you.

These threads would be so much better off if things stuck to:
>Avoid Rebuilds
>Advocate and explain why you like or relate to ______

Instead of fighting over who got fucked more.

Apparently, that is the case. Anno has turned Evangelion into a zero sum game. Unlike the original, where everybody "wins", now only one may win. Because regardless of how 3.0+1.0 ends, someone is going to gloat and be happy about it.

Your problem specifically, is refusing to acknowledge that over the past twenty years, Rei has been fucked over more than any other character. Simply because you don't want to take a stance, because it either betrays your beliefs and desires, or because you're afraid. Whichever it is, you're doing a net evil by lying to yourself and others. There is no fight over who got shafted more. There are only Asuka fans who deny it for waifu identity politics.

As standard - ending of EoE and just by lurking threads it remain mostly unexplained

I saw interview with script for 2 endings - one where Shinji spend weeks alone, creating graves for people he knew (without Rei grave). Second is actual ending

I simply cant read scene with choking and "disgusting" line. Like i cant adress or interpret it, what does it means.

If as "disgusting" he comments about Shinji masturbation (based on interview where Anno asks one of director how could he feel himself about seeying someone masturbating in front of you). But how could she knew? If its real, that would mean that Asuka in instrumentality was real Asuka, not just projection in Shinji head.
So, she makes reminder of the EoE first scene. But how could she ignore the rest, like discovering her mother souls in eva02, fighting and being massacred by MPE and turned to LCL only to get back to original form, knowing that world only caused her pain and in return she caused pain to everyone around her (except characters like Hikari). Why Asuka, not Misato who constantly reminds Shinji about how he must advance and stop running away from problems?

And now Shinji. Whole choke thing. my first impression was that he just answered Asuka from instrumentality vision by, actualy, trying to kill her. But it was crashed after her hand moving on his face. he start crying. he could also tried to just confirm by that if she's real. But why choke isntead of, maybe, hearing her heartbeat or something? Nothing but jsut primal instinct to kill propably only one person who decided to come back to world.
>>
>>153382046
>Maybe the point is that he's actually not an autist and doesn't give a fuck about what Anno does with his intellectual property? And he simply wants to understand Eva

Here's the problem with that, if he wants to understand Eva, he can't leave out this part:

>Anno's evil master plans?

>>153382068
Which is a problem: That is a fabricated concern from Asuka fans. After 2.0, the ones concerned about shipping were still the Asuka fans - not the Rei fans. Perhaps the best example of that is >>153373059

which is a compilation image produced by, and made by Asuka fans to showcase how Rei fans love shipping. We agree so far, right? But look closer. Those people are, contrary to what a shipper would do, condemning the fact that Shinji and Rei are getting together (in their PoV), calling Sadamoto a hack, and actually being sad over the lack of Shinji x Asuka. Look at the archive for the context, and it gets worse, where the same people are actually praising Re-Take! A doujin which Rei fans hate!

So even when Asuka fans went out of their way to find proof of Reifan shipper interest, all they found were themselves. How ugly isn't that? Not that there aren't Rei shippers, but so what? The problem is that Asuka fans have since before 2009 been treated magnanimously with spinoffs, so that they believe shipping is their domain and their domain only. Despite the existence of Kaworu fans, or other fans.

This toxicity has been her all along. Rei is the most popular, but she does not have the most shipping attention. But Asuka and Kaworu fans do, and felt threatened perhaps for the first t time.

All of this is Anno's work.

Oh, God, why that
Okay, now, I once talked about why would Shinji start choking her, because
>Shinji spend weeks alone, creating graves for people he knew (without Rei grave)
This actually happens in the resulting ending, you can see those graves with Misato's pendant on one of them. So, he made graves, and he completely abandoned any hope. That's why he was angry. Combine that with bizarre and surreal state of the World and Rei's appearance and you'll start asking yourself if you're in the real World too.
About the whole meaning of this scene. Now, as we discussed it earlier, they are two individuals that are struggling to understand each other. I won't repeat it, because I'm lazy. This scene was symbolic. Sure, it also moved ahead character development in its final manifestation somehow, but still, things like why didn't she remember this or that are not important, because I'm pretty sure she remembers them and her comment is directed at Shinji for what he's done to her directly. This includes completely ignoring her as a person in Instrumentality (I'm absolutely sure it was the real her, since she says exactly what she'd say and we also see Misato's memories of her and Kaji's sex rally, which we wouldn't see she wasn't there), masturbating, choking etc. Reasons are obvious, I don't know why people keep asking them. What that whole scene means. It's a final solution to those two characters. The whole Evangelion story is a story of children who are struggling to grow up. In what sense? Evangelion itself is a metaphoric "womb", a mother (metaphoric and actual, for that matter), based on Freud's terminology. We remember characters referencing the feeling in the entry plug as comforting, also Asuka makes a reference to mother's womb. When children leave Evangelion, their mother, the comforting place, the womb, they are ready to face the real word and accept people as actual individuals. This is what pretty much what happens in the final scene (cont.)

(cont.) Now when kids leave their mothers (hence Shinji saying "Goodbye, mother" in EoE and the lines "Goodbye, mother" in EoTV), they are ready to find their own personal value, ready to love themselves and thus are able to understand others at some degree and love them. Why weren't they able to do that before? Because people, kids, like Shinji and Asuka, who were devoid of any motherly love during childhood, tend to seek that love throughout their lives. These people can't perceive others as individuals, but want to be needed and loved by them. Much like a child can't distinguish its mother from itself, Shinji and Asuka failed to recognize each other as people who may have feelings and are struggling as much. That scene brings some kind of solution and positive message. It's not necessary to explain why Asuka caresses his cheek. What's important is what did she try to say through it. Now let's remember what Kaworu and Rei (or rather Adam and Lilith) said to Shinji before his departure to the reality. They are "hope" that people will understand each other one day, and we are "love" that people will understand one day too. The theme of hope was reinforced in Evangelion numerous times, one of the most important being the 7th episode. So, we may assume that Asuka's caress symbolizes her understanding of Shinji and gives us true hope that those two can finally understand each other after all the shit they've been through. And maybe they can even learn to love each other one day. This is supposed to give a viewer some hope that if Shinji and Asuka, the most dramatic characters, managed to overcome themselves, grow up, leave their "mothers", the Evas, behind, accept the pain of the real word and understand each other at some extent, then maybe you, the viewer, can do that too. But you also must remember that this existence will be painful.

(cont.) this also can be seen through the lens of Sartre's and Camus' existential views on understanding other people. Sartre insisted that you no one can understand you except for yourself. So here we have the need to learn to love yourself, because no one will ever understand you fully, only you can help yourself at the moment of misery. What they also theorized is that the existence itself is meaningless, but people must fill that meaninglessness with constant attempt to understand each other. So, we need to find the meaning in meaningless attempt to understand each other. Hence why we have the theme of the Lilin, the last Angel, and its struggle of existence, since it exists as numerous individuals and those individuals feel incomplete and feel the need to be connected to each other to fill the void inside. I actually fail to see that part of Eva at full extent, but still. The theme of growing up and acknowledging both the fact that you need to love yourself and that the meaning itself is in human interaction can also be reinforced by the fact that Instrumentality was inspired by "Childhood's End", the novel by Arthur C. Clarke. The name itself already suggests the connection. Another story by Clarke was made into the famous film "2001: The Space Odyssey", which also inspired Evangelion, both visually (Instrumentality, Seele's "monolith" avatars) and thematically.

Abnormal valuing of normalfag opinions suggests the tenets of one's own tastes being dependent on said normalfaggotry and associated worldviews.

That and I'm getting really tired of seeing you repeatedly bring up entry level philosophers in what I assume is an attempt to create worthwhile discussion. I suppose I can't really blame you, since most in this thread are tremendous newfags including yourself. But it's almost like you race home after Psych 101 or some bullshit and post on /a/ then screencap it to put on mom's fridge. But saying existentialist philosophers had relevance to Eva is like positing that Eva had Schopenhauerian influence or that it took widely from Jugian and Freudian psychology.

>>
The "new" Asuka is an attempt to copy Rei's aesthetic. Anno is indirectly admitting that Rei is best girl.

Evangelion can only be fixed by applying the same destructive force onto Asuka, Kaworu and Mari as has been applied to Rei Ayanami and Shinji.

Until that happens, Evangelion will be pandering trash that only inspires shitposting.

I was proving a faggot wrong. ARK, by his own admission, had 11 or 12k a while back. Again this was over a year ago. Furthermore, ARK is a guro-saving failed normalfag shitfuck who I'd take great pleasure into making a bloodstain.

There's a reason hwy literally anyone who has broswed for more than a year despises his passive aggressive shit self. It's like you take a chunk of reddit and vola.

You've gotta admit, the reason we get shit threads is because of waifu pandering. If Rebuild had been actually good stories that treated it's characters and message as seriously as NGE did, we'd never be here today. We'd be busy talking about how good it was, not how bad it was.

Remember that it's denial and bullshit like >>153386714
>>153386762

spreads that is the source of all agony.

Except you often completely derail discussions solely focused on NGE to talk about your Rei victim complex.

You're cancer, even ARK called you out on it.

Can we stop mentioning ARK? I would really rather not summon him. This thread is bad enough as is,

HAHAHAHAHAHA, you don't seriously belive that ? Even when we speak of NGE all those faggots see the light and invade the house to shit everywhere. Rebuilds could have been the movies of the centuries and it wouldn't have changed that

You know that's not true at all. Back in 2004 -> 2009~10 we still had great EVA threads. We could have long maxed out threads about simple themes and everyone would go a long with it. I'm sorry you only know strife, waifu war and conflict. What's bad is that you want to continue it.

I don't want it to continue in the least bit, but I fear that's the truth we have to deal with.

That's none of your business, faggot. Furthermore "extreme" is a highly subjective and nebulous term that could hardly be considered an objective measure of one's love.

You actually want waifu war and conflict, then. Ending waifu wars is as simple as taking the bull by it's horns: stating out loud that Anno is reshaping Evangelion to benefit waifufags, it being Kaworu and Asukafags.

Why are Reifags so cancer, you guys?

I found the true way to restore these threads, as soon as you see the victim complexing Reifag, reply with: Fuck off Reifag, or alternatively, Nothing wrong with Rei Q

And then it will fuck off and we can continue to discuss. Spread this message to every Eva thread from now on.
