>real love
I'm not sure if kids their age know what real love is. This is my issue with most romcoms, you see couples get together and the manga ends there, but is there any assurance that they stay together? Tons of couples break up for various reasons IRL.

Hell, the ShinjixKaworu thing from the movies could be Shinji being bicurious. For all we know he'll be back to lusting after Asuka in 1.0+3.0.

Their relationship is awfully complicated, but he felt strong feeling for her, and he was enraged when she died. After he "killed" Asuka, this showed up.
>>
>>156697821
He never felt anything for Asuka in Rebuild, but she was in love with him in 2.22.
>>
>>156696554
The Death and Rebirth booklet sums up his relationships with others:
The Fatal Disease

A cowardly soul. A heart full of want. A desire to be loved.
Ikari Shinji.
The day he headed for the land of destiny was coincidentally the day of the first Angel attack in 15 years.
His father’s order. The adults’ expectations. An injured girl.
“I mustn’t run away.”
He repeats like a spell and pilots the Eva.
Sortie. Berserk. Battle. Defense. Strategy. Defeat. Ambush. Crushing. Retreat. Berserk. Destruction.
He has several meetings of chance as he continued to battle the Angels.
Ayanami Rei — Bandages. Mysteries. Indifference. An object of interest. Mother.
Soryu Asuka Langley — Girl. Perplexing. Formidable. Indecipherable. Sex.
Katsuragi Misato — Adult. Superior. Meddlesome. Soldier. Family.
Ikari Gendo — Harsh. Commander. Hatred. Anger. Father. Father. Father…
Many words and looks were directed at him.
But, he closed himself away in the deep, dark depths of his heart, and simply hid himself.
Just staring timidly from the shadows…
But, the words “I love you” cleared away the darkness in his heart.
Nagisa Kaworu. The Fifth Child. A kind boy.
The first person he opened his heart to.
But, Kaworu turned out to be an Angel. The enemy of man. Something not human.
Betrayal. Despair. Regret. Anger.
He gets in Unit 01 and wrings out those complicated emotions as he kills Kaworu.
The first person to tell him “I love you.”
The first being he opened his heart to.
With his own hands…
>>
>>156696710
Rei x anyone would be incest since she's Lilith and she can't have children anyway so it's the best option for Shinji.

>I'm not sure if kids their age know what real love is.
They pointedly do not. Asuka is illustrated as having very childish and unrealistic expectations of romance, she says feelings aren't real if they aren't absolutely pure and Shinji believes her because it's another chance to call himself terrible.

Some how he managed to get the time to loop, wouldn't put it past him. I'd off myself too if I was alone forever with that crazy bitch.
>>
>>156698949
She is somewhat right, though. Although she had unrealistic ideals, shinji himself avoid any real relationship as hard as he can, for several reasons, such as being afraid of getting hurt, of having to improve himself and of having to take responsibility instead of running away.
I always seen him and gendo like "no strings attached" personalities, ready to abandon everything with little to no regret. Funny how similar they are.

Christ, Shinji and Asuka's dynamic is the most dramatic and realistic human relationship I've seen in anime. Makes me feel like Eva is some biopic which is kind of true
>>
>>156703051
It isnt exactly realistic for several reasons. The biggest one, not many people is as mentally broken as those 2.
But if you mean that its a well done dynamic between 2 broken people, i agree.

Its never well explained, but manu episodes hint at nerv having a lot of spies, traitors, and shady people, to the point entire segments are in war. I dont doubt they wanted her to die as the last angel was identified and following seeles plan. One less eva pilot.
>>
>>156704111
Hikari is the most well grounded character and noticed right away how asuka is dependent of the approval and affirmation of the others. When its implied rei could easily take her place during the dance battle, she almost has a break down, and hikari immediately sends shinji to fix it.

Hikari wouldn't have her sense of identity attached completely and absolutely to Evangelion and thus would be less manipulable by old men

I still don't get what they wanted so many Evangelions for. Unless Seele was planning to keep the instrumentality project for themselves and use the extra Evas to rule the world, 4 or 5 were enough.

The last time I felt real love was when I was 15 years old.

I'm 32 now, and have had at least 4 relationships since then.

I never felt that kind of love ever again. Now it's more of a "I have grown to tolerate you" feeling with sex in between, so long as their presence isn't negative.

Adulting sucks.

>4chan is the true form of instrumentality
I would say im surprised, but that would be a lie.
>>
>>156734113
The way i understood Instrumentality is you are dipped into an existence where you feel no pain but feel no true joy either
It's like the perfect anti-depressant, you simply 'exist'. You can only entertain idle fantasies like Shinji did in eps 25 and 26

Is that what 4chan is? A place where you're never truly happy but it keeps you from killing yourself at the same time?
Might explain why no one ever leaves
>>
>>156734272
That's not how it works. You give up all individuality to become part of a greater whole. It's ego death, and you personally gain nothing from it.
>>
>>156734304
Wait if your ego is completely gone how does an ego muster the will to blink itself back into existence and come back out of instrumentality?

They're trapped in a Catch-22
No wonder no one came back except shinji and whoever Rei decided to throw onto the beach...
>>
>>156734413
Because Instrumentality was aborted before it reached its final stage. People are just in the goo now, not a part of everyone else. They're freeform souls in other words.

So no, people can still return just fine. Just because you didn't see everyone return doesn't mean they can't come back after the end of the movie. Whether you think they do or not is a measure of your own outlook.
>>
>>156734272
I feel that instrumentality from EoE and TV are pretty different.
The tv ending painted it as a positive thing, you still get to be yourself, although connect to other people mentally. You talk to the others, you can imagine a fantasy together, etc.
In EoE you kinda stop existing. The only thing left is a your subconcious in the sea of lcl. We only get to see shinji on it because he is in an special spot, he was the host of all instruementality.
Asuka does get to know about him jerking off, so i guess a small part of your mind still there, but not active enough to make itself known.
>>
>>156734477
The TV end does not show Instrumentality, it shows Shinji's thought process in deciding whether to abort it or not. Instrumentality is shown as a bad thing in both.
>>
>>156734527
Watching it after eoe, yeah, it feels like shinjis realization of the importance of one self, but i strongly believe it need to be seen as its own ending, on a vaccum, without eoe.

As far as anno knew, that was the ending, he wouldnt do EoE, and he always wanted to end the series on a positive, self improvement note.
So he created the tv endings. It drops a lot of plot points, but overall deliver a the message he wanted.
If it was all shinjis realizations we wouldnt have episode 25, where he isnt the focus, but rather misato and asuka facing their problems
>>
>>156718927
who ?
>>
>>156734806
Rejecting Instrumentality in both endings is still positive, and there's plenty to indicate Shinji rejecting Instrumentality in the TV end alone - the screen cracking as he has his revelation and the importance he places on the self being the most important.

The first half of Episode 25 details other character's thoughts before Instrumentality, but then Instrumentality begins in the second half, and from there on the focus is on Shinji.
>>
>>156734906
what happens after the instrumentality is aborted, do they just die because the world is all tang now ?
>>
>>156735089
They can either sit around as floating thoughts in the tang or form themselves from the tang like Yui said.
>>
>>156734906
I guess its really open to interpretation, and we wont convince each other, but my personal view of the TV ending is:
Instrumentality happened, people are stuck together and they start to help each other with their problems. In the end, it isnt that bad to be together. Thats episode 25
Shinji however, clouded by his self hate rejects it and manage to closes himself. Episode 26 is his friends talking to him and showing to him that opening up isnt bad.
His acceptance speech and cracking means he breaking from his self hate and accepting other people and the TV version of instrumentality.
His friends congratulates him on joining them in "paradise"
>>
>>156735089
Shinji was able to "untang" himself during the middle of the series after killing that paper arm angel. Asuka was able to "untang" herself after dying and getting tanged in EoE.
People will eventually return. How many and how long will it take is up to your own interpretation
>>
>>156735225
You have a fundamentally flawed view of Instrumentality. Instrumentality is the complete removal of all barriers and the merging of all souls. This means not only that you get to view all of the beliefs of every other person, but that every other person see all of yours. You all mix together until there is no distinguishable other at all, becoming a single being formed by the consensus of all of humanity's beliefs. The self cannot exist in this manner, as the self is reliant on others. "You" as a singular entity dies to give rise to a god. Thus, there is no paradise, no dream world or god powers for you to wield. You're little more than one cell.

All of the dialogue in the TV end placing so much importance on individuality goes completely against the very concept of Instrumentality, and accepting Instrumentality would destroy any message being conveyed by the ending.

Also, it is explicitly stated half way through episode 25 when Instrumentality starts, so you're just plain wrong.

Yeah, the ultimate lifeform was cancelled. Tang is just the miscarriage.

Depending on if you think authorial intent matters, the ending was changed and Asuka was added because the first version was too unambiguously bleak and accidentally suggested it was just impossible for anyone to ever return.
>>
>>156735416
>Instrumentality is the complete removal of all barriers and the merging of all souls. This means not only that you get to view all of the beliefs of every other person, but that every other person see all of yours.
I agree completely.Most of what we see on EoE add to that. But it isnt what we see during the TV ending on a vacuum. I believe the TV was something anno had to rush, scrapping most ideas and plot points of the series, and yet the result was pretty good, although completely different from the original that is EoE.

And when we are stated instrumentality started, the first thing we get is misato criticizing instrumentality and ritz defending it as something good. Then we get 2 "cases" of girls facing their problems, misato and asuka, in a sequence mostly unrelated to shinji.
>>
>>156735867
>although completely different from the original that is EoE.
But it's not. We get the same message that EoE delivers. You would only think otherwise if you're operating under an incorrect understanding of how things work.

>Then we get 2 "cases" of girls facing their problems, misato and asuka, in a sequence mostly unrelated to shinji.
Shinji says at the start of those sections that he must "deep within the Misato/Asuka that exists within my mind." He isn't exploring them, but his view of them. This is based off the concept of the Looking Glass Self.
>>
>>156736051
A message can be delivered in 2 different ways. That is my point. If TV instrumentality is completely different from EoE's, both can have the "no more self hate, accept your individuality and then accept other in your life" message of the series. That was what anno wanted to deliver. He just did it on different way when he had different budget and time.

>Shinji: This is the me within your mind.
>>>>>Misato: At the same time, it's my mind within you, isn't it?
>Shinji: In ordert for me to find me, I have to feel many kinda people.
>I have to gaze inside of me.
>I have to gaze the Misato-san within me.

See the one with multiple ">".
Its not only the misato within shinji, but the shinji within misato. Its a 2 way street, because they are merged.

I dont know. I dont like much their relationship on the rebuilds. And i am a shameless shipper that ships asuka with shinji
I always believed they could at least try a relationship after EoE, even if dysfunctional, i think they could learn a lot from each other.
I think its more probable to asuka die in the last rebuild and shinji loses it and trigger a full blown impact.

Details are still shady, but i think Rebuild is a sequel, where the world is shaped by shinjis subconcious desires without he knowing.
>>

No she's taken Misato's role as his guardian.

Most the characters in the show were broken by their shit childhoods but I don't really even have that excuse. Or a particularly concrete excuse at all. I guess I'm just not "adept at being alive", you know how it is.

Which character in Eva had the worst life and deeper problems?
I honestly think its asuka.
>>
>>156696326
IS THIS THE ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS
>>
>>156745755
Are you serious? Rei had a far worse life. She doesn't even have a family. She's led to believe she's replacable and that her life doesn't matter. And she's not even able to escape her life because she can't just stop being Lilith. She's a lab rat who died three whole times while Asuka got to live. And Asuka's problems were all solveable by therapy while Rei's is not.
>>
>>156745987
>And Asuka's problems were all solveable by therapy while Rei's is not
She seens pretty happy by the end of EoE, after she understood what she is and whats her true role on the world.
>>
>>156745987
Was Rei ever shown a mother's love or any kind of love? Rei is pretty flat. She's just really perceptive.
Asuka was tragic was because she was bright and cheerful before.
>>
>>156745987
It seems she didn't mind being lab rat

Ah well. Even if she's not human she's clearly a person with her own desires and wants

In another world where Shinji nutted up and prevented the apocalypse sooner, even if she has to reconcile with Lilith, i doubt humanity would want to kill the literal All-Mother

At least i would hope... you're right, poor thing really doesn't have a chance otherwise
>>
>>156746288
Of course she did
Literally her whole motivation for helping Gendo was so she could finally get away from him and die
>>
>>156746288
Then why did she tell Gendo "I'm not your doll"? Rei didn't want to live that kind of life, it was only when she was shown kindness by another person (Shinji) that she realized it. She's actually very much depressed and suicidal, the trouble is she has a hard time figuring out her emotions because she gets mind wiped over and over and is chronologically a child.

As Asuka said, he sees her as an "ozaku" i.e "side dish" but can also be translated as "masturbation aid." He cares for her like a comrade but there's also lust which is typical since they're two horny teenagers in a close vicinity, that's the extent of the feelings, and he comes running to her because Misato is a scary pedo and Rei a scary clone.
