The couple that arguably should have been, had the circumstances been different.
>>2854076
I loved this part.
>>2854074
Asuka and Toji should've been end game since they had better chemistry together and Toji had an actual spine against her shit while the others were pussy whipped.
>>2854195
This
She even has sex with Toji in an EoE deleted scene
>>2854195
>>2854196
I think you missed the point with that live action scene, it means she only becomes another Misato without Shinji. Seeking shallow sexual relationships with other men. She needs Shinji to truly heal, and he needs her.
>>2854202
While I agree with what you said about Touji, I cannot possibly agree with Shinji and Asuka needing each other.
I think Asuka was clear enough about this: Shinji "doesn't need her", he just needs someone who can understand and love him sincerely. On the other hand, Asuka needs a man who can provide her with the protection, validation and support she had been looking for. Someone like Kaji, but attainable to her (and obviously not double her age). Shinji is just not what she needs, and it is very clear near the end of NGE.
On a side note, I also think Shinji doesn't deserve Asuka's affection, after what he did to her during the descent ar of the series, and especially during EoE and their toxic interactions (especially that of the hospital, but also the strangulations). Those just make Shinji lose any right to claim Asuka as a romantic partner, and if you want to believe otherwise, it means you just think using Shinji's POV, while you just don't care about Asuka's feeling at all. It would be humilliating to her.
To sum up, they need stable people to be with. And as far as I see it, they are so utterly broken children that thinking they can heal someone else is pretty naïve. They must first heal themselves before even trying to heal anyone else. They'll be happy in the future, that's for sure. But together? I doubt it.
>>2854243
Sorry for double-post.
I just wanted to add that, while I don't really care if people ship these two and want to make a thread like this to share their favourite (and in my opinion nonsensical) romance, I can't stand those commentaries in which people naïvely say "Asuka needs Shinji to be happy".
That's just humilliating and insulting to her, considering everything that happens in Evangelion. Asuka needs someone, yes, but Shinji proves to not be that special someone.
>>2854243
Then you clearly didn't understand the ending, THEY NEED EACH OTHER, hence "I NEED YOU"
I feel like you are the same anon (probably a rabid feminist kaworu poster?) who feel the needs to post in every fucking thread that even mentions Asuka and Shinji, its quite frankly idiotic and silly.
>>2854245
>Shinji proves to not be that special someone.
Shinji is about as damaged as her, stop self inserting and see that she's in pretty bad shape mentally. Her live action sequence shows that in a world without Shinji, she's worse off.
>>2854247
A feminist Kaworu poster? That's not me then.
And no, "I Need You" is not about them especifically, but it's a general statement. Maybe it's you who didn't understand the ending, or just sees it wearing shipping goggles.
Please, look at Asuka's face during that scene, and remember her last sentence.
Is that love? Does that scene show they need each other? Well, if you believe so, good for you.
I'm not into ships. I simply appreciate Asuka and hate to see people paring her up with someone who hurt her so much and even masturbated in front of her comatose body. It's really disgusting, to be honest.
(Oh, and that image you posted is from Re-Take. I'm talking about the canonical relationship of those two and not about fanfic delusions)
>>2854248
That was a world with Touji, whose quality as a manis really low (poor Hikari), so it's liklely that Asuka would end up like Misato if paried with someone likethat guy.
But the world is not only about Asuka and Shinji. They're not star-crossed lovers, but poison to each other unless they mature enough.
And no, I'm afraid I'm not the one self-inserting. However, maybe extreme AsuShin shippers really do that.
>>2854255

watching these autistic kaworufags screech in this thread is honestly therapeutic.
Keep crying, knowing your retarded gay-ship is never going to happen.

I'm laughing my ass off, kek. This delusion, you really don't understand eva do you? And I believe your lying, because we keep running into each other. Whether it be in Eva thread on /a/ or here, you just can't fucking help yourself.
I'm not even going to respond because I've done so many times ot this (probably) the same poster who can't help their fucking autism. Instead I'm going to post images. Here is your (you)
>>2854259
Believe me or not, I must say I'm pretty homphobic. So, no, I'm not that kaworufag you're talking about.
Honestly, having been on EvaGeeks (which is the largest AsuShin site out there) for a long time, I have to say at least they had stronger and more brilliant arguments supporting that pairing. But yours is really pathetic, really. Maybe you should learn from people like Bagheera (a true A/S shipper, by the way), who are way more realistic in their interpretations of EVA relationships and don't believe in lovey-dovey fantasies like you.
>>2854261
Never been on evageeks, nor have I ever been on any of those sites you mentioned. Your postins look like that fem-anon that claimed Shinji was misogynist, are you that same poster? I'm curious.
>>2854261

FUCKING KEK

How do you do fellow red pilled goyim?
>>2854269
whats so funny about this is the context.
this route is only really possible to get to if you played to be with asuka the whole game iirc.
this frame only happens because rei wants to make asuka jealous.
you end up with asuka.

>crackship
Have you never watched the show, or is this bait?
AsukaxAsuka because she is the /bestgirl/ and the only one who could ever hope to be up to her standards.
>>2854697
Its probably bait, notice the irony that they think Toji and Asuka should have gotten together. A crackship.
Would a crackship have subtitles like image name related? Or play words from the tv in the soaps that Asuka watches that have meaning? Its hilarious how desperate these shitposters are. I can tell from their posts that they are fem-anons. All the male Asukafags pretty much agree with me.
Is nobody going to mention pic related?
Like, so we really want Asuka with this creep?

Not going to talk about that time shinji masturbated over asukas unconscious body I see, and how that makes him maybe a little I don't know... fucking unfit for boyfriending or is it okay as long as she never finds out
>>2854742
You have your own thread kaworufag, and you might want to read the rules on /c/ before posting.
>>2854742
Considering all the instrumentality bullshit, she'd have known that happened, yet she came back, didn't kill him, and actually stuck around.
These pictures are so cute! Thank you all
>>2855039
Pretty much this, and if official Gainax artwork are anything to go back, they travel the ruins together. I think they took the first step, forgiveness. The rest is really your own imagination.

>>2855607
Asuka was the only one he reached at the beggining of instrumentality and told her he wanted to be with her forever and probably more because she started yelling at him that he cant love others
>>2855607
Based on the context, I believe she is referring to Shikinami.
>>2855715
Not to mention these images show up when Komm Susser Todd plays.

Not an argument.
>>2855752
>Not to mention these images show up when Komm Susser Todd plays.
I didn't remember such a sentence, so I looked it up, and voilà: that's not Asuka saying it.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169858/quotes
>>2855715
Rather than "the only one" I would say "the last one". Remember what Asuka replies, feeling insulted for being treated as a mere side dish: "Anyone will do. You don’t care who it is! So now you come running to me”.
Shinji said tit too late and too low. And, honestly, asfter having seen the hospital scene, I'm skeptical about his sincerity saying that. It looks to me as if he just needs anyone, and he desperately tries to fool Asuka with lies. Just like Gendou and Ritsuko.
>>2856022
>I didn't remember such a sentence, so I looked it up, and voilà: that's not Asuka saying it
I never said she said it, Shinji states this in his conversation to Lilith when he decides to genocide the Earth. Of course, an image of Asuka shows up with the words, but its quick.
>>2856024
Sorry then. But the way you said it look as if it was actually Asuka saying it.
In any case, I don't think it has anything to do with Asuka appearing that quickly. I mean, Shinji's feelings for anyone were never clear, so there's now way Asuka or any other of the characters could have "betrayed" them. That's just Shinji blaiming others for his own flaws.
>>2855752
>I believe she is referring to Shikinami.
You could be right. But considering Miyamura and Grant (as well as Sadamoto) are well known for not liking A/S ship, it could also be taken as their opinion for both Soryu and Shikinami.
>>2856029
>not liking A/S ship
I'm going to need a source on that. There was a rumor that Miyamura read Re-Take btw.
>Sadamoto
Wrong, Sadomoto purposely designed Asuka and Shinji's character on Nadia and Jean. Now I know you're bullshitting. Especially considering that Anno directed Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water.
If the main character designer for Evangelion felt uncomfortable, he wouldn't have designed their relationship in such a romantic way in NGE.
>>2856042
>There was a rumor that Miyamura read Re-Take btw.
An unfounded rumor on Evageeks.
How could you even think she would have read it when she obviously does not like it considering this interview?
>Sadomoto purposely designed Asuka and Shinji's character on Nadia and Jean
Nope, he said he'd thought they would have a Nadia Jean dynamic in the pre-production of the show.
He obviously doesn't care for it if he got rid of their "shipping" scenes from the Anime and put Asuka only in love with Kaji until the very end of the Manga.
Both Miyamura and Sadamoto are staff for Eva, with close contact to Anno, if Asushin is such an OTP and so obvious according to you, why do both these staff members reject it?
Why did Anno get rid of their scenes for Rebuild?
He must not think it's as important as you make it out to be if he got rid of it for the Remake.
No one thinks it's romantic except you crazy shippers.
>>2856288
The entire movie was about their relationship, silly : ^)

Stop making up bullshit
