Who is your favorite Evangelion character?

Rei and Kaworu because I have albinism

>>157358598
>Yui
>Kinda nice
Sorry what?

Rei, I really like her room. I have the same bloodstains on my pillow.

Ritsuko's a year older, but after that I think there's just Naoko.

>>157358598
Dr Pantyhose

Rei, because she develops positively as a character and is really thoughtprovoking with her existential dilemma. I cant resist the innate maturity and responsibility she shows in the story.

>>157358598
Maya is cute.
Too pure for this show.

>>157358598
Gendo is unironically the coolest character, because he has a goal and a plan and will do whatever it takes to achieve it. That takes something extra. He also looked cool despite his clothes which would have looked stupid on anyone else.

>>157358598
Kaji, Maya, and Misato are the only decent characters, at least in the manga
if I had to pick one of them, I definitely go with Kaji since he's one my favorite anime archetypes

Misato and Kaji are amazing. Misato because she has a really complex personality and character growth arc. Kaji because he's hilarious with his melons.

Misato, but it's probably because I've started relating to her the most since I've gotten a job

didn't they make her and ritsuko lesbians in the rebuilds or have I exposed to hearsay and am retarded?

Shinji is my favorite character. I love his development. The way he matures is truly beautiful, and he has such a strong will even though he has absolutely zero reasons to. I relate to him so much. His little bitch side that is.

>>157366456

Reality is at the end of your dream.

I have always related to Shinji, and I have always seen Shinji's flaws and his mistakes as a means for me to improve myself.
A lot of people Im friends with hate Shinji and call him a pussy but I always understood him well and I think he is very realistic and an accurate representantion of your average teen (altough his life is much more dramatic).

I love Kaworu and Kaiji too, as for the girls, Misato is the best with Rei being the cutest.

>>157369630
>>157370003
Artbook by Sadamoto, are you banned on google?
inb4: spoonfeeding

>>157370599
The thing i've quite recently realized with Shinji is that he is not weak, he never is, he always has plenty strength to resolve the situation, it's just that until the last second he doesn't try his hardest, and for that i somewhat resent him though i can totally sympathize with the character.

Kaji because he was CIA

>>157371292
Why would he water a plant before getting killed?

Misato and Asuka. I can relate to them the most and they are cute.

>>157371197
Indeed, he is quite strong to be honest.
He may "refuse" to pilot the Eva once in a while and get a bit depressive but the truth is, he ends up doing what he has to and he always pushes onwards.
In ep 4, Shinji even realizes how he was an idiot and apologizes to Toji and Kensuke even if he wasnt completely wrong.
Shinji DOES understand and take the guil that he has to carry, Shinji IS able to better himself slowly and stick to fighting the Angels even if he does it because otherwise he would have nothing and because he wants people's attention and to feel that he is needed.

All these flaws are extremely human, and Im sure some people who shit talk Shinji dont realize the situation he was in.

He just doesnt want to be alone, and I can forgive him for wanting to end it all, even if it was a bit drastic, I think it was necessary, even though he tried to strangle Asuka as soon as he broke free of the Instrumentality.

>>157371384
He was doing what he loved, thats the basic gist.

>>157371497
But was he in charge, or were there bigger guys around?

>>157371639
Ah, I get it, gimme a sec.
...
Gendo was the boss, but Kaiji wasnt allowed to bring any friends so thats why he is usually seen alone.

Qworu is funier to bully.
Karl is for flustering and confusing.

>>157358598
Kaworu, I think it's interesting that they don't make him the run of the mill alien boy who wants to be more human (like his manga version), humans fascinate him but there's some aspects of them he'll never understand.
And second Ritsuko, cool scientist lady.

>>157373250
Rei is just completely amazing in the original, she's an excellent anchor for multiple characters in the story. One interesting bit is to see how Rei handles contradictions in the beginning versus the end, a lot of Rei's growth comes from honest attempts at understanding others and herself, even if it hurts her. Rei is extremely important to the story because she practices many of it's principal messages since the beginning. That's why Rei is the one who "guides" people through their own therapy session.

>>157373322
Karl didn't give two shits about being human, either. He experienced someone else's feelings and just wanted more of that.

>>157373447
Don't know about all that senpai. Maybe I just didn't see that all the first time? Don't know. I had no problem seeing everyone else's arcs. I guess I just don't feel the same way about her at the moment. I certainly don't dislike her, but she wasn't extremely noticeable on the first run through like other characters. Something about the versions of her dying and losing their memories kinda takes away some of the impact.

>>157373552
Karl is a retarded sociopath. Kaworu fans don't understand Evangelion very well.

>>157373552
Wanting to experience human emotions is wanting to be more human.

>>157373552
Karl wanted to understand humans and he was just a like little kid that was curious how humans work. And about the feelings, what does that matter how he got them? If he feels it, it's his feelings.

>>157373628
Fuck off and kill yourself, Karl is best boy and deserves the love that bitch Shaun couldn't give him.

My favorite character is Touji, for no other reason than the fact that he was a real bro the whole time. He might have been kind of a dick at the start but he became a real friend to Shinji.

She's the least complex of the 4 main characters.

You mean Rebuild? Hikari and Toji were practically cut from 2.0, the last scene either appears in is Toji shielding Hikari from falling rubble (Asuka is given Toji's role as the test pilot so he never loses his leg)

>>157375455

Do they even give them a proper introduction? Do they even have their character arcs?

Mana Kirishima because she did nothing wrong.

Not waifu fag, but asuka. She suffered a fucking lot. More screen time suffering than anyone else. She is fucking shattered and i love to pick appart her different breakdowns and try to pinpoint the motives.

Shinji shitty side was kept from the audience for far too long. Rei didnt have much screen time because the reasons of her existential crisis is spoiler heavy.

>>157375118
*Most

Least complex would be Misato.

>>157375803
Tokyo-3 itself is more active and detailed, redesigned Angels look pretty good, computer screens have more on them. Half the Angels are gone, original Angels suck, character establishing scenes are gone, seiyuu returning to the same characters can still crush out nuance. Like Gendo in particular, Tachiki reads all his lines like he's lying to The Committee, that weird jocular tone he had with everybody else isn't in there.

>>157376178

Asuka did not suffer the most, not even close. She had the most comfortable time of the children. Didn't see Asuka get burned to death, dissolved into tang or stuck alone for hours on an end inside an otherdimensional monster.

>>157376370
No but she did get torn apart by 6 or so other EVA units while in berserk mode and than speared with the same amount of Lance of Longinus.

>>157372248
This. Shinji is, unconciously or not, quite manipulative. He is desperate for praise and approval, and yet is afraid to make any decision by himself, he is utterly afraid of rejection. He dont want to make mental effort to help his friends. He wants whats good about relationships, but dont want the bad that comes along.
Thats why the ending is beautiful, he overcomes that and accept the suffering that comes with loving

Rei sacrificed herself, stood directly under Ramiel's laser and Shinji boiled alive, dissolved into tang and was inside Eva while it was on autopilot and killed his only friend.

kaji, i would suck his cock.

>>157376370
We arent shown that getting tanged is painful at any moment. Besides she and shinji were in instrumentality, shinji in the sea od LCL and not solid.
Both of them got tanged off screen.
Exploding gotta suck but is probably less painful than getting thorn appart.
Not that it matters, eva is about mental suffering. Which we see asuka crashing hard.

>>157377214
she deserves it thought,

>>157377214
not to mention she probably felt everything while being in berserk mode in her EVA

>>157377126

>>157377214
>>157376467

I'm thinking of the one where Shinji is left inside Leliel to suffer in a deteriorating entry plug, thinking he'll suffocate alone and lonely for days.

>Exploding gotta suck but is probably less painful than getting thorn appart.
It was the EVA that was being torn apart, not Asuka herself, damage may transfer but not completly. Let's not forget that Rei's EVA is being physically corrupted at this stage, transferring the pain to Rei - not only that, it's Rei herself who physically is burned to death.

No one seriously thinks Asuka suffered the most, when she was easily the most well-treated and privileged of the children. Full set of parents, compared to nothing for Shinji and Rei. Where Asuka grew up believing she could be something, that never happened for Rei who had it beaten into her that she was worthless and replaceable. Shinji didn't have it as bad as Rei, but he was still abandoned by his father and set off with another person anyway.

You're not wrong.
But Asuka's deal is that she doesn't want people to think she's worthless and replacable too.
Which is why she can't stand that Shinji gets all the things she craves and still throws bitch fits about it.

Also having an angel with a live chorus shine its headlights into your head to make you relive your entire childhood again is pretty fucked up.
It's probably one of the cruelest things I've seen in a long time to be honest.

I'm not gonna sit and argue the minimal points of who suffered more and why that makes them either a better or worse character specifically because I don't care. I like them all and I think each of their arcs are interesting enough in their own ways. I just happen to understand Asuka's more. All it really is at the end of the day.

>>157377251
Never said anything against it. Thats why i like her character. She crashed hard, but not in a dramatic way, but a "you reap what you sow" way.

>Also having an angel with a live chorus shine its headlights into your head to make you relive your entire childhood again is pretty fucked up.

uh, no

It was just the truth. It's not cruel to tell people who need to hear the truth, the truth.

>I'm not gonna sit and argue the minimal points of who suffered more and why that makes them either a better or worse character specifically because I don't care.
The points are not minimal, the characters are made to suffer, some more than others, coincidentally Asuka is put through the least suffering. Even if you think otherwise, we can debate it rationally, and I will claim that our mutual conclusion should be that Asuka didn't suffer as much as the other two in her life.

The difference is that Asuka is a spoiled brat who is narratively the equivalent of an escapist otaku. She denies reality in favor of fantasy. Where Shinji and Rei go through worse things, they deal with it differently because they are stronger. They are the "cinderella" to Asuka's "evil stepsister". Like the evil stepsister, Asuka is also pecked to death by birds.

You most be really dumb if you honestly believe half of the shit you said, or really sad if you convinced yourself about it.
Asuka had a crazy suicidal mother and a a father that abandoned both for some nurse pussy.

Also we are never shown rei being "hammered" she is replaceable. If anything gendo does like her in his terrible father ways. Her existential crisis came from the circunstances she went through, not indocrination. She literaly died and woke up another day, with screwed up memories and personality, probably without understanding how or why. This gotta shake the head of anyone in the same position. Her fears and doubts are personal.

>>157377973
You're obviously just a butthurt Asukafag though. Remember the scene where Rei is literally choked to death while being told she's replaceable? Where she lives in a dark, damp basement underground surrounded with lab equipment and concrete? Don't you at all remember that Rei keeps repeating that she's replaceable, and don't you think there's a reason for that?

Rei's fears and doubts are personal, but you'd be a damned idiot if you don't think NERV personnel didn't do their part in imprinting her with those thoughts. The thing is, that Rei here demonstrates taking a bit of sad and disturbing self-exposing information and actually spins it around to something productive. Rei isn't exactly sad she's replaceable, she uses it to her own advantage. Of course it's taken a toll on her will to live, however.

>>157371197

It's very strongly implied that he and his father are very much alike, and Shinji could've easily become him. Yui calls him out on this during Instrumentality: "Did you try to understand others?" He's so concerned with his problems and his needs that he completely ignores a desperate Asuka doing everything she can to earn his love and affection.

Let's be fair: it's not like she's sending a clear message. Combine that with your average fourteen year old boy's capacity to pick up on "she's totally in to you (which she wasn't, or else there wouldn't have been a communication issue)", and you have a massive amount of space for the messages to not get across.

>>157379337

I'm not saying she was prefect, but the coffee scene illustrates their relationship perfectly: they're both grieving and he's screaming for her to help him. He did the same thing when she was in the hospital, which is how he rolled her over to begin with.

Shinji offered all the empathy in the world to Rei and almost none to Asuka.

She did kinda cut him off emotionally and physically at several points. And was a massive bitch for a good while. So sue him if he doesn't want to put up with her shit sometimes. Still, if either had properly reached out at any point, maybe things would not have gotten so fucked between them.

>>157379417
She USUALLY isnt sending him a clear message. Sure.
But then theres the kiss scene. He didnt need to "get" anything at that moment. All he needed to to is to show affection, follow his fucking instinct, and yet he didnt.
Because in the end of the day, he he was the one not trying to understand the others and blaming them for not loving him above anything else.

>>157379826
>shinji, lets do it because I'm bored!!!
>or are you afraid to kiss on the day your mother died?
Why the fuck is he obligated to show affection to her.

>>157379826
Funny that you bring up the kiss scene, but if you got coerced into that, after an emotionally draining day, and then she keeps you from breathing, what would you do? Not saying that it was the best choices, but did you really expect things to go different? They're a couple of depressed, insecure kids who in the end can't decide if they want to fuck or strangle each other.

That did happen by the way, right? That wasn't just in one of his dream things?

>>157379624
It's because Rei is a naturally sympathetic character whereas on the surface, Asuka is tough and confident. He doesn't Asuka wants and needs him. Also Rei subconsciously reminds him of his mother.

>>157379704
Huh. I guess I'm wrong. Are we sure it's not Yui using the forms of the women in his life? She did that a few times throughout the series.

I don't have the videos in front of me at the moment, so that's a serious question.

>>157379725
Again, I'm not defending Asuka, I'm just pointing out where Shinji failed. She wasn't clear at all and I understand why he misunderstood, but the fact remains that he didn't even try.

If Shinji did this to Asuka people would be railing him for being Elliott Rodger incarnate feeling entitled to sex and love, but for some reason when women act desperate it's ALWAYS the job of the male to pick up on those signals and reciprocate, lest he be "dense" or "too full of himself". Right.

>>157388346
It wasn't after Unit 01 fought it, it was after it regenerated from the N2 Mine, and it's just cause the first one was damage so it grew a second face beneath it,

>SoL comedy that emphasizes on the fanservice
Ohh no.. anon no.. I don't want to hear about this. I will get very upset.
I wish to stop this discussion. I honestly can't into EVA fanservice. I think I like it too much for that

>>157388366
Not a straight adaptation of that, either, though. There are still Evas and Angels in the game, you can still get to Third Impact.

Shut up and enjoy your fun.

I honestly don't know.

If anyone interested in the SIRP manga, i can get you a mega link. The torrent of that manga took me 2 days because of no one seeding it.

>>157388619
I am not sure if it got translated, and if it did, was a fan translation.

>>157388847
That's because Leliel was an abnormal angel, it's AT Field pointed inward and it's body was only 3 nanometers thick, and that probably wouldn't have worked anyways they were just completely out of options.

>>157388991
Under the AT fields they are rather quite weak. They eyes one died with normal artillery fire. 998 n2s would kill it if they hit the body.

On the other hand, the at field was keeping it compressed. Who knows what would have happened without it. Maybe it would spread everywhere and eat everyone?

>>157389218
It depends on the Angel, Rei pierced through Zeruel's AT Field with the N2 mine before detonating it and it did no damage to it. The goal of that operation was to negate the AT Field so they could drop the 990 N2 mines inside the other dimension that Shinji was in and destroy the entire dimension along with the Angel.

It isn't the worst. It might have more going on than Rei's game. It's the source of some funny images you've likely seen but you have to put up with this art.

>>157390061
>In that she had Lilith's soul. Her physical body was made from Yui's DNA.
Rei has Lilith's soul as well, but that has nothing to do with genetics. Rei's physical body is half Yui half Angel. Rei may look like Yui, but there are some differences, like the blue hair, red eyes, pale complexion and angel abilities like levitation, generating AT-fields and so on. Only in Khara's works is Rei actually a clone. Keep Rebuild separate from NGE.

>>157390061
>Uh huh.
Yep, it's fanwank all right. There's no thought from Yui, nor intent to "test" Shinji. What's the motif here for her to do so anyway?

>>157390061
>>157389905
>>157390158

I never actually though about that, i always though the red eyes and weird hair color was a cloning side effect, but karowu had the same things and we never had any confirmation he was a clone.
Plus if you want to start reaching, shinji eyes went red when he was "ascending" in Rebuild.

Can rei actually have angel dna?

>>157390152
who is that girl on shinji?

>>157390208
DNA doesn't work that way. Neither Rei or Kaworu were mentioned to be clones in NGE, and Rebuild canon doesn't matter for Rebuild. It's a different story.

>Can rei actually have angel dna?
There's no way for her to show these differences or have these abilities without. Sadamoto explains she's 50% Yui and 50% Angel.

>>157390158
>>157389905

Not him, but i dont think Yui was testing him. If anything, i think maybe she was giving him a chance to give up and rest after all he been through. Maybe she thought that only rei and asuka (and both souls in 01) would *probably* be enough to trigger instrumentality anyway.

>>157390265
Sadamoto isn't a reliable source. He's said a lot of retarded and wrong bullshit about Eva in the past.

>>157390224
Game exclusive girl, mana. I never played it, but i think she is a normal classmate who loves him and serves as a more "normal" romantic interest for the game.

>>157390282
Every single move she made in the series was to ensure Instrumentality happened on her own terms. She needed Shinji to reject it and let everyone live as opposed to SEELE or Gendo's plan to fuck everyone over.

>>157390325
Well Sadamoto said Rei has Yui's DNA; i.e. a clone

>Sadamoto: I think, if you take Asuka as being, for Shinji, a symbol of the longed-for opposite sex, Rei is "maternal." For one, it seems like she has the genetic material of Shinji's mother. For myself, if I am asked who between Asuka and Rei I like more, it is probably because somewhere in Rei there is something motherly, and when Shinji looks disheartened she "scolds" him ever so softly. Rei asks Shinji, "Are you running away again?" Quite often she says harsh things that really get down to the point. It would be ideal if a friend of his would say it, but for some reason that doesn't happen. That [action of Rei's] is because a mother will absolutely not abandon her child. I think that, for Shinji, Rei is that sort of motherly existence.

>>157390265
>DNA doesn't work that way
And people dont juice up when they lose the borders of one self. EVA biology is very odd and somewhat spiritual.

Also, rei is shown clearly as a clone, there is a whole tank of her on the basement. They just never bothered to say of who, assuming the viewer has 2 or more working brain cells and could guess who she was cloned from.

Rei, because she is well reflected and tesponsible but also adorable. Plus shes the goddamned crypt keeper, so watch out.

>>157390326
but the series doesn't need any more romantic interests.
does she have any crippling personal issues?
does she want to kill herself? Surely she has something appealing about her

>>157390325
He is the story's character designer and obe of the writers. He is more reliable than Anno who is even more shaky with his interviews.

>>157390352
>Every single move she made in the series was to ensure Instrumentality happened on her own terms
I agree with you, but she certainly had to make the plan along the way as it went. Not everything was under her control.
I think, or at least believe she thought that she *probably* could do it with shinji inside the eva instead of piloting.

Shinji because he is the only decent female in the entire show.

>>157390499
No, she's boring and plain

>>157390158
>Rei has Lilith's soul as well, but that has nothing to do with genetics. Rei's physical body is half Yui half Angel. Rei may look like Yui, but there are some differences, like the blue hair, red eyes, pale complexion and angel abilities like levitation, generating AT-fields and so on.
That's a good point. I want to say they said she was a clone in the commentaries and interviews, but I can't find anything on it. Maybe I'm just having a stroke.

>>157390325
Thats not an argument though. You cant just say he's wrong. The story backs Sadamoto up on this one too.

>>157390359
You also have your mothers DNA. Does not make you a clone. Unless there is an explicit use of the word in NGE it is best to go woth occams Razor and accept what the story tells us.

>>157390609
>in NGE it is best to go woth occams Razor and accept what the story tells us.
Ehhhhh

>>157390609
Just because I have my mothers DNA doesn't make me some "maternal" existence that Sadamoto states her as.
Rei is supposed to be a clear link to Yui. If not an exact clone, then pretty fucking close.

>>157390420
People can juice up when stimulated. Not as elegantly as i NGE perhaps, but biomass can be broken down through maby methods including acid or some other solvent.

Rei may be a clone, but she isnt one of Yui. Itd be impossible and if one of the authors explains she is at most 50%, there is no reason to believe otherwise if you have two braincells or more.

Did they fug?

>>157390573
They never did. Only with khara works which is a bew canon. Its common knowledge that they adapted the source material from Gainax to disfavour Rei in the canon.

>>157390680
A link? Obviously, but a clone? That is fanwank.

>>157390741
They're closer than sex could ever bring them.

>>157390265
>Sadamoto explains she's 50% Yui and 50% Angel.
Source?

>>157390673
The story tells us that Rei has superhuman ability and non-human features. She has features expressed by both Angels and Humans, which makes it clear that she cannot be either in full. Occams Razor dictates we should assume the least complicated option, which means Rei is not a clone of Yui. Otherwise we would have to explain why Rei does not exhibit the characteristics of a human like Yui and the rest does.

>>157390680
It means you were made from your mothers DNA though, which is the point. The interview does not mean what you think it does.

>>157390842
Schizo parano I think.

In the good version of her own game, sure. She's a fucking spy. A child soldier from a secret project of the JSSDF's to make their own mecha for a war they're predicting in a few years, sent to approach Shinji and get information about Nerv and Evas. Maybe she fell in love, maybe she used Shinji to escape the military.

>>157390916
He's implying Rei having Yui's dna makes her maternal
So there's a clear difference here.

>>157390715
>>157390789
I know thats a gross simplification, but you dont need to be 50-50 to have differences differences. I mean, all humans are like, 99.9% similar to each other on a dna scale.
Rei has strong link to yui, which was certainly the "base" and some angel magic spliced here and there.

If you dont like the word clone as it implies 100% exact match, sure you have your point, but saying only 50% is silly.

>>157390265
>>157390916
I just realized we're having the monophysite controversy again. Bravo Anno. Someone summon the Pope.

>>157390955
Please post a direct link, or I cannot take your claim that Sadamoto said that as truth.

>>157390741
I have a weid headcanon for this scene. They are pretty much "ethereal" that scene, and they cant actually interact with each other, even in that position.
As shinji talks about rejecting instrumentality, he actually touches rei hand in the very end, which can only be possible thanks to the AT fields making them individual beings, which goes along with all the rest of the ending.

>>157374553
There was a tripfag I haven't seen in years who always had a status on how many of Jake's Snakes they'd removed. Up to now I didn't know who Jake was or why he had Snakes let alone why they needed to go.

>>157390976
It ws Sadamoto who said that, and its the basis for human reproduction as well. The thing is, Rei was never referred to as a clone of Yui in the series, so why should we? Ultimately it is just spreading a lie.

>>157391061
I think this is the most reasonable interpretation actually, but between all of the sexual imagery, plus all of the Freudian influence and parallels between Oedipus I wouldn't put it past Anno for them to have actually fucked

>>157391114
Because Lilith's biology isn't the same as ours? It's not like they replaced nutmeg with cinnamon here.

Adam. The EVAs are also largely made from Adam. If you rewatch the series pay attention to the amount of times Rei and Adam are namedropped in scenes.
