NGE episode 8, 'Asuka strikes!' aired on Nov. 22 1995. The world has known Asuka for 30 years.
>>283946775>The world has known Asuka for 30 years.And everything has gone to shit. Tsuncunts get the rope.
>>283946818Fucking based.
Does that mean asuka is old now
it's a shame she got ripped apart by robot angels
>>283946861She was 14 in 2015 so she is 24 now.
>>283946775And I've been jerking it to her for nearly as long!
>>283946775Mai waif
>>283946861don't google what her english VA looks like today
>>283946775And just like her, you faggots still haven't shut the fuck up.
>>283946861Eva teens are Zoomers
>>283946775Anime peaked here
>>283946818>>283946998kek the cult of (insecure) Reitards is here and seething
>>283947786Rei has no fans i refuse to believe anyone actually likes rei
>>283947786For some reason the biggest shit stirrers happen to be Reifags, whereas Asukafags just stick to their lane.
>>283946775Eva sure had 7 great episodes.
>>283946959I'm guessing old lady?Are you talking about Tiffany or the new dub girl?
Time wasn't meant to hold this lasting longing.
>>283946775>The world has known Asuka for 30 years.Best girl 30 years and running.
>>283948140They can't come to terms with the fact they made the wrong choice
>>283950131Is it the wrong choice? Tell me why Asuka is the right one. And I mean the character itself not how much she's advertised or how many people like her. What makes Asuka (the character) better than Rei?
>>283946775ungrateful arrogant unpleasant bitch
>>283950437Pretty much sums up the whole character.
Asuka #1
>>283950362At this point if you have to ask you’ll never know.
>>283950515Sure, because you're in denial. And looking past the veil of Asuka's superficial ''strength'' would destroy your false perspective of her. You'd rather live in denial than face the truth.
>>283950676Okay, you've seriously have been bitching about Asuka for like three days now. You ever thought about not posting in threads you don't like instead of repeating shit like >>283950437 >>283950131 to yourself
ASUKA>>>>>Rei>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...>>>>>....>>mari
>>283950774probably.
So anyway:Asuka #1Reischizo still seethingAll is right with the world
>>283946775>>283946818In a week and a half the world will have known Sayaka for 53 years.
>>283946924>>283947047Why weren't they using facebook and twitch and shit in the anime if it was supposedly 2015
>>283950437 scarred exploited lonely darling
I Will (Not) Watch the Rebuilds.
>>283951331
>>283951154People who cared about that shite died in second impact>>283951331Unbelievably based
>>283951331it's bad
>>283946775Reminder that Anno started to hate her.This was rebuild original ending in 2015.

>>283946818
>>283952037>Anno said she was her favorite character >retard schizo who won't shut the fuck up still says dumb shit and brings uo "Asuka treatment" keeps crying
The main reason why I stopped posting in Eva threads is because I'm fuckimg tried of the constent Asuka thread spam and the schizo retards crying about her. It sure doesn't help that these threads aren't are just one single retard reposting the same shit
>>283952416Asuka is one of the primary characters, retard. If you hate her how do you even like the show to begin with?
>>283951589Yeah I'm calling bullshit, no one played sega in 2015
>>283952634I didn't say anything about Hating her you fucking retard. I said the retard who keeps making these same shitty threads and the annoying ass schizo like >>283952441 who keeps replying to himself ruin Eva threads
>>283946775Why do you guys makes this same dickriding thread everyday ?
>>283952813It is 100% one person who keeps making these threads every thread. and if you point out it's one single person i.e this retard >>283952634 you get called a Reifag and here him bitch about "not liking Asuka" when the issue is every Eva thread he makes is either a Asushin thread or a fucking Asuka thread
>>283952675Saturn launched and it was huge in Japan.
Misato > Rei >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dogshit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> asuka
>>283951390Shinji should've stabbed this violent walking turd bitch right after that attack
>>283953248misato is a WHOREand I'm glad she got shot and blown up.
I will never understand why schizos get this fucking made at a cartoon >>283953256
They're so lame
>>283952675After the second impact, the high-tech resources that would've been used to produce Dreamcasts were repurposed for the Evas, so society had to get by with Saturns
>>283946775I'm rewatching the show one episode per week on saturdays as a way to celebrate the 30th anniversary and I've been having a blast.The week between each episode makes me think about what I've seen and anticipate what's to come way more, despite me having seen the show like 8 times already.Episodes 5 and 6 are phenomenal, that first 6 episode arc works so incredibly well as a closed story, it was a smart move to compile that for the first rebuild movie.
>>283953295it's still the depiction of a nude female attacking a male character just because he accidentally saw her naked,like it was his fault. Realistically the male character would've all the right to fucking hit her back or worse you twit
>>283953536Lmao you sound brown
>>283953607but he's not an asuka worshipper?
>>283953669>t.brown tard from peru
>>283953696oh yeah, you're seething.
>>283953732>>283953705>>283953669I want to point out how not only I wasn't the one he was prelying to yet he still is seething about Asuka nad has been since the last Asuka thread
>>283952416Think 4chin is bad? Outside you get copers like >>>/m/23635034So pick your cancer, really.
>>283946818Tsunderes always win
Asuka is the only good thing this fatass faggot hack piece of shit has ever created.
>>283955863Me!Me!Me!
>>283956137He didn't created it though
>>283946775Huh, aired on my aunt's 54th birthday.
Asuka
>>283946775And been the worse for it
>>283952883What's wrong with making an asuka thread? She's the best character in evangelion
>>283950362Anno answered this like 29.5 years ago
>>283952813>>283952883>Why are you making threads about an anime character on the anime board?Re(i)tards
>>283957604Every character is integral to understanding Evengelion. Except for Kensuke. You can write him off the show completely give his comic relief to other characters and it affects nothing in the narrative.I really like thinking about Evangelion from Ritsukos' perspective. It's like a slow motion train wreck.
Thread theme:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqdyvgxwGnU
>>283957920Okay, well I like the other characters too. I never said otherwise.
>>283950515>>283950362>>283957885You have to see the obvious Angel/Devil imagery used to separate Rei and Asuka to get why Asuka was always endgame.Rei is meant to look like a cherub, in other words a heavenly being whos' sole job it is to serve god, and so be permanently separated from man, except to serve as messenger. Rei holds this role for Gendo, who is meant to embody a type of father/god archetype. Thus, Rei will always have an element of being unapproachable This breaks down in the third impact, but that is after Gendo is gone.Asuka, meanwhile, is meant to look like an imp. In other words, a constant, bedeviling presence of temptation and antagonism. She never even speaks to Gendo through the whole show, but is at her sons' literal door for most of the series she is an ever present attachment to Shinji.So you have a detached Rei and an attached Asuka...Where's the question?
>>283958101Thirty!
Asuka wants my fat old ojisan cock
>>283957920There's also the bridge buddies, but Makoto makes himself relevant after Kaji dies in a horribly cast idea to make him the worlds most pick me secret agent. Also Maya is a solid sapphic and likes Ritsuko, which doesn't go anywhere story wise but does help to explain why she becomes so morally malleable after the midpoint of the show, it's all because she wants that sweet, sweet senpai pussy. Aoba is just kind of there holding a guitar and freaking out at Rei clones. They do fulfill a kind of Greek Chorus/Exposition role in EoE, all while shooting at JSDF soldiers, so that's something.
'People' really watch evangelion and don't conclude that asuka is the best...First of all, rei is shinji's mom. That's incest and that's wrong. Secondly, kaworu is a man. That's gay, and that's wrong. thirdly, asuka is a real human being and a real hero. There's nothing else to say!
>>283946924>She was 14 in 2015wait, i'm the same age as the eva pilots? feels weird
>>283958271Rei doesn't menstruate and can't get pregnant because she's half angel. Shinji could fuck her all he wanted and not have a mutant baby. No problem there. Kaworu would have been fine for Shinji because they were supportive of one another. Get out of your god is watching so pray the gay away bullshit and join the modern world. Asuka is not a hero. She's a jobber. But she is still best girl with best guitar.
>>283958631>Asuka>Not a heroWhat a nihilistic, desperate, anti-human take. Never repeat this.
Asuka is not a hero.
The world became better 30 years ago.
>>283952362In NGE. When he hit Rebuild, he igonred her character. Tsurumaki said he had to write for her because she had no character arc.And in 2015, in the proto rebuild, she was going to get absorbed by Gendo and assimilated before Kaworu kills that shit.
>>283952362Nevertheless Asuka isn't even Anno's sole creation. Her seiyuu and Sadamoto were extremely important to make her what she is as well.
>>283959400Anno got tired of his old toys, so he made it all about the new one (Mari).It's beyond absurd what he did to Asuka and Rei. Either of them made a lot more sense taking Mari's place. And it's not because I hate Mari or I'm obsessed with waifuwars, it's just because it doesn't make sense within the story at all. Mari barely knew Shinji. She had no reason to sacrifice anything for him, at all. In fact, if anything, she had a lot more reasons to do something like that for Asuka, whom she'd been close to many years. Anno is a great animator, a very good director if you only take into account the emotional impact of some moments and forget the plot completely, but an awful, inconsistent writer. Or at least that's the case for Evangelion; in fact I believe Gunbuster is better written.
>>283959579>Anno got tired of his old toys, so he made it all about the new one (Mari).Then why does she only have 10 minutes of total screentime, 5 of which are just her talking about how her boobs are big
>>283946775Amerimutts be like>bbbbut Asuka is not really 30+ years old today!

What are Rei and Asuka's measurements? I'm sure someone's figured it out before.
>>283957920>KensukeHe's there to show the civilian perspective and be a stand-in for the audience.

>>283959145Correct she's /Our/ Heroine.
After rewatching Evangelion and End of Eva, I realised (at least this time) that I actually prefer the anime ending to the film. End of Eva answers more questions about the plot, and it's visually impressive, but the whole point of the series is the message about forgiveness, self-acceptance and opening up your heart to let others in, even if it's painful, and I think the last two episodes do a much better job of exploring those ideas in a more poignant and in-depth way, and doing it through character studies of it's main cast really ties the whole series (which is a character drama more than anything else) together in the end. I love both, and I'm glad we have both, but I was more impressed by the overall quality of the original series this time around. I would even argue that the directing of most episodes is better than the film's too.If anything though, I think Asuka's character was the one left without the right kind of conclusion in the series, and her manic episode and final fight in End of Eva was a good way for her to go out. She was doomed either way, but she got to go down swinging instead of wallowing like Shinji, so good for her I guess.I still don't know how I feel about the hospital scene, but Misato kissing Shinji was unequivocally based.
>>283964227>SpoilerI prefer the manga version of the hospital scene.
>>283964250I haven't read it but I've heard good things about it, so I will do at some point. I've always tended to avoid manga adaptations of anime, even anime that I like, for no real reason honestly. Maybe because the usual order of adapting is reversed, I subconsciously presume it will be worse somehow?
>>283964250>>283964343Well shit, I just looked it up and the manga came out just before the anime. I had no idea. I feel stupid.
>>283964343>>283964381The manga has some big differences at several points as well, Sadamoto pretty much got the original scripts for the anime as it was about to be made and adapted that, ignoring any of the re-writes that happen
>>283964653Sounds interesting, I'll definitely have to read it then.
>>283964719Shame you missed the daily of every Eva manga that has a translation
I wonder what the fanciest panties Asuka owns are
>>283964733I miss just about every good daily storytime thread because I am the most indecisive person in the world and I never notice them or join in early enough and I can never be motivated to catch up on the threads I've missed :'(
>>283959400>When he hit Rebuild, he igonred her characterHe ignored all character because when Rebuild hit he took a step back and let his team do most of the writing. >TsurumakiAlso worte all Mari's scenes because Anno was mostly focused on all the mocap shit and the parts that used real footage. It's the reason why the farm part had so much work in it because Anno only gave a fuck about making it look good. Hell, the only reason why Rei gets focused during that was because Tsurumaki pushed for to get more screen time to make up for 3.0.>absorbed by GendoThat the same shit that happens in the last movie. This shit has nothing do do with "Anno hates Asuka" and more about how the movie was poorly managed. The last move took like 12 years to make and they actually had to rush development of the last 40 mins because they fucked around too much.
>>283946775I thought, for a franchise that got overseas attention, there would be some 20yo old fanartsBut then again, to keep files that long is a cost
>>283962459I remember reading Sadamoto talking about it, something like he had to make Asuka look tall but not reall tall so he had to add hip
>>283964227eoe just has a weak screenplay that doesn't balance its tones, elements or big scenes well. the tv ending is both better written on its own and avoids a lot of those issues by cutting everything else away.
>>283964547more! any art of Crapsuka suffering violence is a big yes for me
>>283964799You could always read over the archive of them, there's some good discussion about other Eva content out their (like the Reiquarium Tamagotchi)

>>283971428No she just watches me sleep
>>283952362The part of Asuka Anno liked was her seiyuu who he was simping for. When it dawned on him he wasn't getting anywhere with her, the treatment of Asuka's character immediately became dismissive (you can also tell the string of episodes where Anno was totally fascinated with Miyamura and the show pretty much turning into sol/comedy/monster of week). Then you have EoE where he's expressing blatant contempt for her character and rebuild where it finally turned into total indifference.
>>283962360Shinjis' disaffected and fearful response to being thrown into a chosen one narrative is more than sufficient to serve as an audience surrogate.
>>283973985No, Kensuke is the guy who's super hyped about mecha and shit, only to find out that this isn't that kind of story.
>>283974009Exactly why you can remove him with no narrative repercussions. Trust me, I know for a fact that you can tell all of Evangelion without needing Kensuke.
>>283974036I suppose you're right, but the episode with him where he casually mentions how fucked up his life is and how he sees what Shinji goes through helps contextualize things. So not necessary, but it definitely adds things.
>>283973977Why do you keep typing up paragraphs of bullshit headcanon when Anno literally said after the last movie came out that Asuka, Misato and Risuko are his favorite characters. There is no fucking hidden "ANNO HATES ASUKA" shit you're just really fucking stupid
>>283974074It's not nothing, but it's more interesting if you give the elements of his role to the other plot-relevant characters.
>>283973977Holy shit, you're fucking retarf

>>283973977I don't really think that's how episode production works, lol. They don't just change things in a straightforward order based on directors mood. Episodes are produced concurrently , in multiple studies, and usually not in any linear way at all..
Asuka simply can't understand the deep bond Shinji and Rei share
Here's to 30 more years
>>283946775Asuka's feet
>>283979491a single scene changed the way the fans view the character entirely
>>283950978Who was in the wrong here?
>>283971238No I don't buy this. In both instances Shinji rejects instrumentality and chooses to live as a flawed human being, but he comes to slightly different conclusions in each. Or rather, the same conclusion, in two different emotional states. NGE has Shinji accept himself for who he is, including his flaws, and realise that he can only love others and be loved by others if he can learn to love himself, and so he rejects suicidality and chooses life. EoE has Shinji sink even lower than his lowest point in NGE, and he acts out far more destructive scenarios in his head during instrumentality. He cannot forgive himself for what he's done (especially not to Asuka) but he can destroy the old self and build a new one (hence Death & Rebirth) and as such he is left alone with Asuka at the end of the world so that she can judge him (and chooses to forgive him). If 25 & 26 are meant to simply exist within the instrumentality scenes in EoE, then they don't quite fit the mood of the film and they certainly don't account for the events that take place in the first half of EoE. They are two alternate endings, with one being idealistic and optimistic, and one more bitter and realistic ending, but both positive in their own way. On reflection, I probably prefer 25 & 26 because it has the message that I want and need to hear, while EoE is an unconfortable truth that stings. You are right in that they are basically reinforcing the same idea, but they certainly don't give the same feeling, and that intended feeling is very important in determining how exactly your audience will engage with your work, and reflect upon it and themselves, and so the two endings have different intentions.
>>283979491>>283979560Cute
>>283979800I had a friend who headcanon'd that the beach scene was actually part of Asuka's instrumentality, her choosing to forgive and comfort someone who's hurt (and is continuing to hurt her) rather than lashing out is the equivalent of Shinji realizing he needs to accept himself.I never agreed with him, but it's an interesting perspective on all of it.
I just wanted an actual beach episode with Rei, Asuka, Misato, and Ritsuko...

>>283980354You can open a rei thread and post her there. This is a 30yo celebration thread. It's like posting madoka in a dragonball thread
The 1990s are culturally split right down the middle with no protracted transition.1995 has stuff like Rayman, Yoshi's Island, How Bizarre by OMC, GoldenEye, Toy Story, Jumanji, Se7en, Pocahontas, Balto, Windows 95, and 12 Monkeys that's already like early 2000s culturewhereas1994 has ancient stuff like Clerks, Angels in the Outfield, PageMaster, Junior, Surviving the Game, The Santa Clause, The Mask, and Baby's Day Out.The 1990s are culturally split in half at exactly their midpoint; 1995-2002 was the cultural era.2003 is the exact time everything became pure suckage.
>>283979696Shinji for not doing that
Wow, it's getting real fuckin' desperate
>>283980453I'm not even a Reifag but the constant Asuka thread spam is fucking annoying. There is no celebration just you being a faggot.
>>283979991I think she embraces Shinji because she's just been through the whole instrumentality thing, and seen that what Shinji wants is not to destroy the world and other people but to be loved, and so she strokes his face (like his mother just did 5 minutes ago during instrumentality) and Shinji immediately crumbles. The "disgusting" line could mean a load of different things but my first thought was of her being repulsed by both of their actions and the ugly feelings they had deep inside that the entire collective consciousness of the world has just been made aware of (human beings are pathetic and ugly, basically). I definitely don't think Asuka would or should come to the conclusion that she needs to simply accept people that hurt her, but her and Shinji hurting eachother was a consequence of their inability to be honest with themselves and with eachother, so instead of pushing him away she embraces him. Please don't ask me why I think Shinji started choking Asuka, I'm still not sure.
>>283980504>2003 is the exact time everything became pure suckage.Funny how it's true for more than one medium>Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day #1(July, 2003)This marked the decline of DC from a peak under Kahn towards the decades of pain.

>>283983199Shit was amazing on the big screen, man.
>>283983199Because the climactic resolution is based on Deus Ex Machina.
>>283979800I didn't read all that but I'm right and it's not a discussionThey literally made the anime ending because they ran out of moneys and couldn't make the full version, which was EoE, so they settled for the internal part of it, which was thematically more important than the spectacle of the movie. The outcome is exactly the same, you just don't get to see the full picture in the show. There are even flashes of what's happening on the outside in the show, like the shot of Misato dying after being shot and molesting shinji's mouth with her hag tongue
>EoElife is hard but you gotta try>rebuildan old hag turned teen again will literally fall from the sky on top of you and fix your life, you don't have to do anything
It’s funny to think that a day over 30 years ago audiences had an answer to the question “who is that other shadow girl who”s only in one shot of the intro?” And then she took over the series and started the most intense and one of the longest running best girl arguments in history.
>>283980077Would Rei like swimming in the ocean?
>>283983730>they ran out of moneysI thought this was untrue?>so they settled for the internal part of it, which was thematically more important than the spectacle of the movieSurely in the redrafting of the ending for TV, they omitted some of the darker elements that would appear in the movie and instead aimed for an unambiguously positive message than the one they intended to tell with the EoE ending? "Congratulations" and "Disgusting" are two very different ways for the series to end.>There are even flashes of what's happening on the outside in the show, like the shot of Misato dying after being shot and molesting shinji's mouth with her hag tongueYou are absolutely right about those shots of Misato shot dead. I can't for the life of me remember Misato kissing Denji in the anime however. Did it only flash on screen for a moment or have I memoryholed an important scene?I watched the film again just two days ago, btw
>>283982639Are you stupid? Do you just do whatever someone tells you? Ignore them.
>>283979560>>283979491

>>283950131>They can't come to terms with the fact they made the wrong choiceYou like Asuka at a distance, if you had to date her you'd either end up killing her or yourself or both within 3 months.

He gives extra details in some of the Eva magazines, home video releases and designed the packaging of said releases. Not sure when he originally joined the Eva team, but he was around prior to Death & Rebirth and EoE.>Surely in the redrafting of the ending for TV, they omitted some of the darker elements that would appear in the movie and instead aimed for an unambiguously positive message than the one they intended to tell with the EoE ending?The Red Cross Book will explain it better than I can:>The voice of the fans grew stronger and stronger as they demanded the proper ending of the drama, the explanation of the mysteries or just a new story. With a view to meeting these demands, it was decided to remake the EP.25 & 26.>The movie ep.25 "Air" is based on the script already in place during TV production originally intended for TV Ep.25. Because of various problems during production, this script was not used and the TV Ep.25 "The Ending World" was done in a same way as TV Ep.26 in which the drama was developed within an internal mind universe. Because of this, it could be said that this ep.25 is a return to the original intended story. In contrast, the movie ep.26, when compared with TV Ep.26, contains much more content on the story and plot, thus deepening the theme brought out in TV.Read the rest here:https://wiki.evageeks.org/Red_Cross_BookIn other words episode 26 of the tv series was ready for production before episode 25. And yeah I get it's an Evageeks link, they aren't very reliable and I hate those faggots too, but as far as I'm aware this translation is accurate apart from the ESL mistakes.

>>283983730>>283971238>Theyre the same endingTotal opposites actually (made even more obvious with Rebuild).TV: Shinji agrees with the idea of self acceptance, this marks the first step toward happiness, it's just a positive message, the conclusion is up in the air. Anno himself has yet to figure a path to happiness, but he wants to believe it's withint reach.EoE: Shinji fails to accept himself despite accepting the world is shit. He rejects Asuka and wallows in self pity. Anno who was threatened with death threats by fans because of the original ending has concluded that there's no path to happiness in sight, he has failed, EoE is born from despair and ends with it.RoE: Shinji finally accepts himself and takes responsiobility for his action, he reaches adulthood and goes to to live his own life away from eva and ths suffering it brings. Anno finally got back on his feet and chose to face his demons, he rejects the failure EoE was, so he's now going back to a positive ending before moving away from the franchise.

>>283991464how are you niggas 20+ years in these threads and still don't know that the VA that rejected Anno was Jean's VA from Nadia? btw Asuka's VA and Anno had always a very rocky relationship, especially in EoE, where he kept pushing her to the point where she wanted to kys because he felt she was unable to deliver the lines the way he intended them to sound

Rei is good at swimming, would take her to the beach. Might become an existential experience for her though.Asuka can be eaten by a shark.
>>283997357>Rebuild starts by showing EoE imageryYes, the purpose is to hint that the current narrative is taking place after the events of EoE.>where humanity was able to survive and reorganize in the face of imminent doom, they even built a whore aquarium to preserve marine life After EoE there is hopeWrong perspective, Anno doesn't care humanity as a whole, Shinji is the subject and the linchpin of the eva universe, even if humanity returns in some way, it is bound to crumble again as its fate is ine the hand of Shinji who himself is going through a cycle of failures at breaking free.>Then picrel happens and is shown as the ACTUAL calamity where billions perished permanently and the world became inhabitableSee? Back to square one.>After NTE the only option is to wipe the slate clean because the world is a lost causeThe only option to break free is to eliminate the eva from existence.
I find the lack of ritsuko in this thread very disturbing. let's fix that.
>>283997813>Anno doesn't care humanity as a wholeYou say this about the same movie that added way more scenes about the daily life of tokyo-3, it's citizens and it's workings than the original series ever cared to showIn the original show tokyo-3 was a ghost town, in the rebuilds (which are ALLEGEDLY set after EoE) it's a bustling city where people live and prosperYou're clearly interpreting the entire series from the narrow scope of a pre-established perception that you're unwilling to revise even after being presented with content that contradicts itRebuild is about moving on from loss, not about "correcting" End of Evangelion, which itself was about how in life there is an opportunity to find happiness if you persevere through the pain, Anno himself has said as much
>>283997597
>>283997178>Denial and escapismThe rebuild ending is basically the same as Shinji's SoL fantasy. The one they congratulated him for choosing reality over it.The rebuild ending had no congratulations because he chose a nice cozy fantasy.
It genuinely surprises me that there are people that don't take the EoE ending as "even if you regress, even if things are bad, all you can do is accept yourself and keep moving forward because that's the only path to things getting better".It's more or less said word for word by Shinji himself just before leaving instrumentality behind.
>>283998302Who needs shit like navigating complex relationships and feelings when you can just send those away and run away with the manic pixie genki girl you barely know and who wanted to fuck your mother?
>>283998333It's just our resident retard, don't mind him
>>283960116But no matter how back you go, you'll always be one year younger than eva
I don't fuck with the rebuilds because their message is very nihilistic. Rebooting the universe and erasing everyone's history to be 'normal' lives rather than letting people move on by their own means is fucked up. It's suggesting there's no point in trying to be better. Aside from that, in the OG series the EVA/Angels/Adam/Lillith were only shown to have godlike control over two things, Humanity's Soul and Humanity's physical Form. That's what AT fields are, an invisible barrier containing our body and soul. This is specifically why everyone melted into goo and merged - and why the correction following this was the option of letting people reform into individuals. But suddenly in the rebuilds they have the power to access alternate timelines and just create new universes , literally wish for anything they want like a magic genie. The plot has been lost completely. They just make things up that sound cool without putting the proper thought into it. Other asspulls include WILLE and NERV having seemingly infinite resources despite lacking the manpower and technological infrastructure that allowed them to operate originally. In order for nerv to operate 3 Eva's it required The entire city and working population of Tokyo 3, the country of Japan, the backing of the entire United nations AND the shadow government new world order SEELE shifting around all of Earth's resources. But in rebuilds they run everything from a single ship, somehow. And nerv's ruins are just autonomous, producing millions of Eva's? How???
>>283997691>ramiel fight is done better.it's flashier but much worse where it counts
>>283998780It's a story that concerns itself more with the message it wants to convey than about the narrative it uses to do so, which becomes a problem when both are at odds with each other
>>283997813>Yes, the purpose is to hint that the current narrative is taking place after the events of EoE.The Wille rebels wear blue arm bands as a symbol of their goal to “return the ocean to its original color.” That suggests the oceans were blue within living memory and became red (likely a result from rebuild’s version of second impact). So the idea of the world being a direct continuity physically is tenuous. Basically it would have to be red, turn blue, then red again for the timeline to make sense.
>>283997597That's false. Rei, on the other hand, would even let bootleg from facial abuse to use her mouth. A single order from Gendo and Rei could be the biggest slut ever.
>>283997843This is an Asuka thread.Do you post Madoka in a dragonball thread? No you don't. Do you post Ryuko in a one piece thread?No you don'tSo, here we don't post rei or ritsuko or any other girl from evangelion.
>>283998509This is bullshit. Tell to a child from Sudan he can be happy even if every single day a group of terrorists can cut his head just for fun.Anno is a manchild. Indeed, as he got some pussy he fucked up his work

>>283998110>You say this about the same movie that added way more scenes about the daily life of tokyo-3, it's citizens and it's workings That's not humanity as a whole, it's Tokyo-3, in the last movie Anno represents it as a stage made of miniatures (which is nothing new actually as it was already there in the original show). The scene you're refering to only serve to highlight the despair and devastation Zeruel is about to bring.>You're clearly interpreting the entire series from the narrow scope of a pre-established perception that you're unwilling to revise even after being presented with content that contradicts itThe entire series is all about Shinji eventually learning to take responsibility for his actions, Shinji himself being an avatar for Anno to express himself.>Rebuild is about moving on from loss Yes, the loss of headcanons not getting validation. >not about "correcting" End of EvangelionThis pic tells the whole story >>283997178>which itself was about how in life there is an opportunity to find happiness if you persevere through the painWhat EoE really tells you is that without self acceptance, you'll never find any happiness. Shinji is someone who didn't persevere through pain in EoE, which is why the last thing he does in the movie is to cry in self pity.>>283998302>The rebuild ending is basically the same as Shinji's SoL fantasyPic related is Shinji's SoL fantasy, does it match RoE ending in any way whatsoever?
>>283971238>>283979800>>283990962TV 25-26 eps and EoE are the same ending. There is no difference between "key" scenes because there are no scenes in common. Each of them represents certain flow of events which are illustrated using different pictures. Events remain same.Unlike rebuilds. Reminder that there is one hagAnno quote literally stating "huh i decided to fuck movies cuz now im reach married old ass who cant rely himself to own OG character(s)".Which just gives it straightforward - "I fucked up shit because NOW I can"
>>284000641The ocean is red at beginning at Rebuild to hint the events are taking place after EoE, but it's only there to suggest the idea, as we're not told how much time has passed since EoE (though we know, the exact same amount of time as between EoE and 1.0 release, because eva is a metacontinuity and all eva entries are literal productions Anno supervised). Shinji's been through countless iterations as we've seen from Kaworu's reincarnation coffins, the timeline itself doesn't matter, what matters is that time only moves forward (because evangelion productions happen one after the other).
>>284004472>TV 25-26 eps and EoE are the same endingNGE and EoE are total opposites conclusion (which is why this shot >>284004468 is presented to us, to make us understand this time is gone), and RoE is in turn the total opposite of EoE.
>>284004507So just more hand wavy bullshit? Got it.
>>284000872>That poseThe lengths people have to go to get Asuka to look shorter than Shinji.
>>284004468>The entire series is all about Shinji eventually learning to take responsibility for his actionsAnd the image you posted was the very moment when that happened, not when he decided to abandon his friends and use a deus ex machina to undo all his misdeeds by making it so they never happened and he will never have to deal with the consequences
>>284004507>The ocean is red at beginning at Rebuild to hint the events are taking place after EoE, but it's only there to suggest the idea, as we're not told how much time has passed since EoE We're not told that it happened at all, by 3.0 the rebuilds had completely dropped the time loop plot point and never brought it up again

>>284004955The data centers that house all the hardware necessary for AI content generation have massive cooling requirements, which are met through water coolingThis by itself wouldn't cause problems as it would just evaporate, however the water itself is sourced from sources that don't replenish fast enough to meet the demand, and loose regulations cause chemical and heavy metal contamination of the water
It's pretty funny how /a/ still has holdouts having these debates about rebuild when everywhere else, including other boards, have come to see it for what it isA cheap cash grab with no vision, designed by committee calling upon a respected IP to sell merchIt is essentially the japanese jurassic world, highly praised upon release but rapidly forgotten once time revealed it's flaws and how it has nothing interesting to say that hadn't already been addressed by the original
>>284001768But I thought that the water made the frogs gay
>>284004814>And the image you posted was the very moment when that happenedNot one bit, this pic is telling the total opposite, Shinji there is wishing for days long gone before he did the terrible things he cannot deal with, Shinji is wishing for his actions to have never happened, he refuses to take responsibility, it is escapism.>not when he decided to abandon his friends Shinji said his goodbyes and came to terms with Kaworu and Rei, Asuka (who barely qualifies as a friend) was given a place to belong after getting whatever closure she needed.>and use a deus ex machinaMisato's life, who died to give Shinji the mean to create a better future for her child.>to undo all his misdeedsShinji undid nothing but the eva themselves, so with the eva (the responsibility of his parents) being both the source of people suffering and the narrative gone, all the characters are free to live their own lives.>by making it so they never happenedIt happened, which is why Mari is there as a witness of it.>and he will never have to deal with the consequencesShinji chose to use his life to activate the gaius spear, it is only because his parents finally decided to act as such so their son wouldn't have to pay for the mess they made that he himself was given a new shot at life.>>284004960>The only way you could interpret it this way is if youpay attention to Shinji's actions in the epilogue that reveals his words were empty and all he did was run away. The epilogue is there to showcase Shinji hasn't moved one inch forward since the beginning of the movie.
>>284005249>Shinji there is wishing for days long goneNone of the people in that image are gone due to his actions save for one, and even then it's debatableHow can you say that he's not accepting responsibility, when he's LITERALLY accepting the burden of pain and uncertainty of existence for the sake of giving them all a new chance at life?
>>284005249> is only because his parents finally decided to act as such so their son wouldn't have to pay for the messRight. So he didn’t deal with the consequences.
>>284005353>he didn’t deal with the consequencesThe existence of the eva are not his doing. The consequences of his actions is of course being responsible for the death of Kaworu, which he learned to face and let go of.>>284005334>None of the people in that image are goneCompletely missing the point, it's not about the characters, it's about returning to a point where certain actions didn't happen yet. One very obvious tell is the fact Rei's face cannot be seen.
>>284005681Rei's face cannot be seen because she's the only character that doesn't have a future, at least not in the human senseShe became a goddess in order to be able to fulfill Shinji's wishes, but a god cannot be loved, only feared or worshipedEveryone else has a chance to move on, past any past mistake or misdeed, as long as they're alive, which Shinji enabled them to be
>>283946959>Google her>3 days younger than my mom>Find an interview from this year>Whyboner.jpegWhat did he mean by this?
>>284005753Rei's face cannot be seen because this is Shinji's bullshit, wishful fantasy, so Shinji won't face her for real as she knows the truth. When the quantum Rei shows up again, Shinji understands he didn't manage to outrun reality.
>>284006106>Rei's face cannot be seen because this is Shinji's bullshit, wishful fantasy,source: my ass
>>283990962EoTV and EoE drive at the same point with honey and vinegar, respectively.You can see that if you aren't blind. You can also see it in how Tsurumaki (the most publicly negative of the original creators when it comes to the old theatrical versions) speaks about his motivation to do Shin Eva since he felt both the original tv series and the original films lead to "misunderstanding" Shinji's character and his growth.
>>284006140Shinji is literally facing Rei while trying to paint a wishful fantasy where Rei is hidden on purpose: Shinji refuses to face Rei for real, because it is a bullshit fantasy.
>>284006458There is literally nothing backing up the things you say, and I will not take you seriously as a result
>>284006256>EoTV and EoE drive at the same point with honey and vinegar, respectivelyNo, they are the complete opposite actually. At the end of the show, Shinji figures he can accept himself, and the part of himself he hates is mere weakness. In EoE, absolutely refuses to accept himself because beyond the weaknesses, he's now someone who did terrible things. >>284006564The moment the group picture showed up, any viewer should have immediately understood deep down that something was off about it, that it wasn't sincere. Shinji's reaction to the quantum Rei confirms it, he "wishes" for others to return, but the moment Asuka is back, he doesn't welcome her, instead, he tries to get rid of her in the most brutal manner.
>>284006256Tsurumaki feels wasted under Anno's yoke, dude is clearly a talented director and writer (with a few missteps, looking at you diebuster)
>>284004960He immediately betrays this at the first opportunity though, he would rather kill Asuka than attempt to seek forgiveness from her, but she is the one to reach out to him. He chooses to live but he has not changed for the better (yet). EoE says even irredeemable pieces of shit like EoE-Shinji deserve to live, but if you don't move forward you will be as hopelessly miserable as he is. There's still a chance for reconciliation and forgiveness, even for the worst people, but only if you choose to stay alive to witness it (compare final shot to movie poster). NGE Shinji never did those awful things to Asuka, and (You) the audience watching it air live are only judging him by his thoughts and actions in the anime, which are all easily forgiveable, understandable and empathetic, and so his character resolution is unambiguously good. The two endings are tonally different for a reason, they're meant to be read differently.
>>284006949>He immediately betrays this at the first opportunity thoughOn the contrary, the fact that he lashes out is the perfect proof that rejection and hurt indeed still exist as Rei claimed, but without them acceptance and kindness would have no valueYou cannot have a light without a shadow
>>284006949>she is the one to reach out to himAsuka was backed into a corner. Asuka who firmly rejects death, as revealed by her return to the physical world, is now put in the same situation she was before getting killed the first time around, powerless and at another's mercy. But her desire to live is so strong, she's willing to do something as disgusting as humoring her abuser to preserve her own life.>There's still a chance for reconciliation and forgiveness, even for the worst people, but only if you choose to stay alive to witness itThere's no chance at any of that without self acceptance, namely taking responsibility for your actions. Shinji who doesn't apologize to Asuka, even after stopping his assault, can only in self pity. How disgusting. The end.>>284007016>the fact that he lashes out is the perfect proof that he was lying.
>>284006882They aren't the complete opposite and Tsurumaki has said he felt EoE was pointless because they had already laid it all on the table in the tv version it was to him just a retread of episode 16 on. This is again the guy who's big neg on EoE, saying it's the same difference as the EoTV. And why he came around on wanting to make the new films was because he saw people misinterpreting his (and Anno's) own intent as overly negative, which is squarely what you're doing. You love to bring up one Tsurumaki quote and then ignore the rest of his entire corpus when it comes to talking about Eva to people. Even people trying to portray Shin Eva's ending as different are wrong. Threads of Shinji walking away from piloting altogether are in EoTV right from the beginning. It's just the hand holding version of the ending for dumbs.
>>284007204>But her desire to live is so strong, she's willing to do something as disgusting as humoring her abuser to preserve her own life.absolutely notAsuka would rather lay down her life than do something she doesn't mean
>>284007240>Tsurumaki has said he felt EoE was pointlesOf course it's pointless, Shinji got to the point he was willing to accept himself at the end of episode 26. Why have him regress then?
>>284007282>Asuka would rather lay down her life than do something she doesn't mean
>>284007416Not wanting to die and also being willing to die standing your ground are not contradictory beliefs
>>284007345Because he doesn't regress. He drives at the same point but this time on 35mm film instead of 16mm. Once again to the point one of the most influential creators viewed the exercise of dipping back into the same narrative as pointless. It's not and never strictly been about self acceptance either. It's about Hell Being Other People. I know you get the No Exit reference since you're either the tranny youtuber himself or parroting him. Shinji is bedraggled by how he thinks people view him and in both the original ending when Asuka is the one to tell him 'shit's in your head bro' and EoE when she reaches out to touch him, it's the same thing.
>>284007668Why is Asuka naked in Shinji's mind?
>>284004103I would have busted so many nuts if I was Shinji
I've alluded to this quote a few times on 4chan but I thought it would be better to look it up and post the whole thing. >...In a normal story, the protagonist grows up and ends up winning, but Shinji seems to be positioned as a character who never grows up. However, if you look at the TV series closely, you can see several milestones in Shinji's growth that you wouldn't mind seeing as the final episode. I think that's episode 6 and episode 19. The end of episode 19 goes in a different direction, but if they win against Angel and declare, "This is the last episode!", I think that would have made for a really good robot anime. >When you think about it, it's not that Shinji hasn't grown up. It's just that there's an even tougher development waiting for him, and he repeatedly worries and gets lost. The final "growth" was not portrayed clearly, especially in the last episode of the previous movie [TL Note, this is EoE since he's talking about 1.0], so Shinji was perceived as a very spoiled character. For as much socially acceptable shade the guy has thrown as EoE over the years, Tsurumaki does not think of it as a bad end. He viewed its ambiguity, in trying to not be cliche, as something that in the end got in the way of what they intended to portray ie Shinji's growth.>We haven't decided on the ending for this [Rebuild/Shin] yet, but it seems that there is a plan to make it a happy ending, so I thought it might be better to make it a more straightforward story of growth from the beginning.Of course we know Anno didn't quite let Tsurumaki do that because third movie. But he's speaking to his intent and his perception.

>>284007500Asuka never had the slightest intention to die there, the line itself "I'll kill you" repeated over and over attest to that. And yet Asuka was killed, because she was powerless. So when Shinji tries to kill her again, she submits to preserve her own life. The original line makes it perfectly clear without any possible doubt.>I was called to the studio because the final line needed to be revised. Ogata came there too as it was Asuka and Shinji's scene. Asuka's final line was "Anta nankani korosareru nowa mappira yo!" (I'd never let a bastard like you kill me!) in the film scenario. Anno didn't live with my line no matter how many times I tried. Ogata and I were at a loss how we should play what Anno wanted to express; she even tried to ride on me and choke me to meet his demand. He must have been pursuing reality. Concerning the final line we adopted, I'm not sure whether I should say about it in fact.https://files.catbox.moe/obx66o.mp4
>>284007668Your picture is literally spelling out loud the difference between NGE and EoE, in NGE Shinji imagines himself to be a disgusting person and resents himself because of how he thinks others are perceiving him. In EoE Shinji actually becomes a disgusting person through his actions.>It's not and never strictly been about self acceptance eitherOf course it is, which is why Rebuild concludes with Shinji finally owning responsibility for his actions which allows him to become a proper adult at last.>It's about Hell Being Other PeopleEven the original TV ending makes it clear it's all about self reflection. Shinji himself quickly builds up positive dynamics early on during the show, the Toji and Rei cases being the most obvious. Shinji is willing to make the effort to connect when it is worthwhile, hell isn't the other people, hell is the lack of self acceptance. Another brutal example of that is Asuka herself of course. Asuka who's unable to see her own self worth becomes unable to function when she becomes unable to sustain the facade she built to prevent her from seeing her real issues, hell to Asuka is Asuka herself.
>>284007668>>284015126>and EoE when she reaches out to touch him, it's the same thingNot the same at all. Asuka has her own arc in the movie, first off, Shinji and Asuka never come to terms (Rebuild instumentality certainly drives the point even harder if you still doubt that), in the course of the movie, Shinji uses, abuses, fails, dehumanizes and threatens Asuka with no hint of apology. Shinji doesn't do a single thing that could possibly encourage Asuka to show him any kind of genuine kindness, and yet Asuka still does so. Why? Because Asuka in the movie found her will to live, chose to reject death, and yet met her demise because of her unability to see how powerless she actually is. So when Shinji backs her in a corner, she will lower herself to do something as disgusting as humoring someone who does nothing but try to use her liek a thing and harm her for his own selfish purposes. The two endings are as remote from each other as Shinji and Asuka are the two furthest humans left on the planet in the epilogue of EoE for the simple reasons they're now the only ones separate from each other because of their own AT fields.
Let's face it, we all know the ANIMA ending was the best ending
>>284004551>>284004909Go take a good rewatch of subj, you blind asses.Ep24 ends with washing eva-01 back after smashing Kaworufag's head (and Misato heaving a short talk with Shinji, ok). After few weeks (iirc) starts EoE with assault on Tokyo-3 and NERV headquarters. ep25-26 takes its place between Rei hooking up supreme AT-field causing every body and everybody's mind to dissolve AND the "opening of dream".And then again, you fags like to quote shizomaestro yet you mistake the hurtful lie he gave you as dogmatical truth
>>283946818FPBP
I think I get it now. Shinji chokes Asuka to see if they are both really alive again, but thats still a fucked up thing for Shinji to do, and it's specifically a callback to the choking scene during instrumentality where he was lashing out in a fit of rage and despair. The reason Shinji is still willing to hurt Asuka in the end is because he is the same person as he was before instrumentality, and only during instrumentality does he gain the clarity of mind to reach the conclusions that he does. During instrumentality he can be entirely free of his most negative emotions if he wills it, and when he becomes human again he immediately has all those emotions (fear, anxiety, self loathing, guilt, etc.) rush back in. So instrumentality Shinji is able to reject instrumentality (suicide) and chooses to carry on living, but when he comes back he is back to square one. I was always confused because I thought he HAD to have grown by the end of EoE, like how I believe he grows at the end of ep 26, but in both cases he is not simply figuring things out in his head, he is under the influence of instrumentality, an out of body experience. So it's fair to say that a part of Shinji has the right idea, but there's still some work he needs to do before he can actualise it, he still has a ways to go. He has to be the one to be the one to apply all that shit he learnt in instrumentality to his real life before he can magically unfuck his personality. The contrast between the scene where he says goodbye to his mother, and the scene where he chokes Asuka, was always such a whiplash for me that I could never quite believe it, but I see now how it can make sense thematically this way. It's not as easy as coming to the right conclusion once, that's only the beginning. Asuka shows him the right way though, choosing to take the initiative and open up to other people despite everything, and he breaks down when he realises He Needs Her.Is this a fair assessment?
I want to lick Asuka's breasts

>>284015852>Shinji chokes Asuka to see if they are both really alive againShinji made graves for the others, he's accepted this world as the physical reality.>it's specifically a callback to the choking scene during instrumentality where he was lashing out in a fit of rage and despairThis specific scene reveals what Asuka is to Shinji: a mean to an end that will either be of use or will be removed otherwise.>The reason Shinji is still willing to hurt Asuka in the end is because he is the same person as he was before instrumentality>I was always confused because I thought he HAD to have grown by the end of EoEShinji hasn't moved forward since the beginning of the movie by the time we got to the epilogue.>The contrast between the scene where he says goodbye to his mother, and the scene where he chokes Asuka, was always such a whiplash for me that I could never quite believe itThe contrast is meant to be highlight what Shinji really is about: running away from himself.>Asuka shows him the right way though> he breaks down when he realises He Needs Her.Asuka is out of options, she reclaims her humanity after being perceived as nothing but an object the entire movie by Shinji, this action forces Shinji to face the truth of what he is, which he cannot deal with, so Shinji does the same thing he did during the hospital scene, cry at his digusting self he refuses to accept.
>>284016886Funny isn't he

>>284016315
>>284015852> Asuka shows him the right way though, choosing to take the initiative and open up to other people despite everything, and he breaks down when he realises He Needs Her.This is the correct assessment. Asuka has surpassed shinji in the end.

Hello. I hate the rebuild.
I like that in this scene people think Shinji is mad that he has to see his father, but really he's mad that Asuka is going on a date with someone else.
>>283946775this has been an asuka website
>>284022771
>>284022801I don't really buy it, in his mind Asuka is so far out of his league that even entertaining the thought of jealousy would be absurd
>>284022771>>284022836I really like this outfit
>>284022856>thoughtYeah. Like thoughts matter to emotions.
>>284022865Yeah. Like all 12 seconds of it. You could make a joke video "Evangelion but only when Asuka is wearing the green dress"
>>284022885think about it thoughIt would be like being mad that miss universe is going on a date, you weren't even in the running so why would you get mad?
>>284023116They are way closer than parasocial. In fact I say they have a very deep connection. They might even be in love at this point.
>>284023158Love requires an understanding and mutual trust that clearly isn't thereThere was clearly some level of mutual attraction though, even if it never materialised
>>284023438>never materialised
>>28394677530 years of asuka, holy idiot shinji
>>284023479When i was 14 me and my cousin (female) showed each other genitals and we touched each other. When you are teen and spend a lot of time together the curiosity and horniness make you stupid thing.
>>284023594Yuuuuuuup.
>>284023479She does not look happy about it
>>284023615Sexually she is torn between Shinji and Kaji. She also knows at this point that she'll never get Kaji because of how he is madly in love with Misato. Shinji is all she is going to get. It doesn't even matter how much Shinji tries to be there for her, she can't have Kaji and she is always going to be mad about it.Or Shinji just sucks in bed.
>>284023615Angry sex
>>284023704>We never got the full apartment orgy.
>>284023704Kaji was already died. Asuka was just depressed and horny. Probably she even tried to fuck penpen
Stylish!
>>284023856What a slut. I'd rail her teen pussy and give her a lesson.
>284023414>chibi-usaAnno probably took that Toji dick scene from Sailor Moon
>>284023809I think Shinji and Asuka started going at it before Kaji died. There's some parallel story telling that hint as such.
>>284024031
>>284023479
>>284024208Well, yeah, but Rei is giving him wake-up sex. Come on. That's a gimmie!
>>284023954You don't have the balls!
>>284024064The way his waistband gets stuck implies he was full mast at this time
>>284024057There's love with sex, like Misato and KajiThere's sex without love, like Gendo and RitsukoThere's love without sex, like Fuyutsuki and YuiThen there's Asuka, without either
>>284024731Yui never loved Fuyutsuki.
>>284024750Not romantically, but he was the only one she trusted enough to tell her entire plan to, something not even Gendo was privy to
>>284024803I'm pretty sure Gendo knew the whole thing. Besides, when did Yui finally inform Fuyutsuki of the whole plan? After the second impact? That's a hell of a detail to omit.
>>284024838>I'm pretty sure Gendo knew the whole thingIf he had, he wouldn't have allowed the contact experiment to happenIt had to look like an accident to everyone for it to work
>>284024911Yeah. That's why he set it up and got the fuck out of Antarctica. Then he let SEELE handle the coverup. He thought it was a success until Fuyutsuki showed him the papers documenting the experiment. Gendos' only real "Oh, Shit." moment except in EoE.
>>283958322>14 in 2015Grim that you missed absolutely everything but at least it's not 14 in 2025.
>>283952054I watched this on YouTube somewhere in prehistory. There was also one with One & One by Robert Miles. I thought it was creepy and I hated anime. Wonder what my life would have been like if it stayed like that.
>>284024969That was before the contact experimentI'm talking about the event in which Yui was absorbed into Unit 01
>>284025212I'm pretty sure Gendo knew. You can see his expression as the contact experiment is beginning and even though he is silent you can tell he is just beyond consolation that he has to let her go.
>>284025258If he knew, why would he spend time and effort trying to bring her back, as we're told was previously attempted while the crew is trying to get Shinji out of Unit 01, and is ultimately his goal with Rei and Adam?
>>284025291He couldn't bring her back. She needed to be inside Unit-01 or it wouldn't work!
>>284025323Gendo was willing to sacrifice the entire world for a chance to be with Yui again, he would simply not allow the contact experiment to happen if he knew it would go wrong in advanceOtherwise his entire character motivation doesn't work
>>284025401It didn't go wrong! It went according to the plan. Yui made contact with the EVA, assuring that Gendo had an in to reunite with her in the third impact, which he would also be able to control because he had merged with Adam. The only thing that didn't go according to Gendos' plan is that he didn't count on Rei III betraying him.
>>284025445>It didn't go wrong! It went according to the plan.Why would Gendo's plan be to simply undo his wife's if he knew about it?Yui planned to sacrifice herself permanently, their visions for third impact are at complete odds
>>284025470Because Gendo doesn't want what Yui wants. Gendo wants to be with Yui and rule over the world. Yui wants to give the future to her son.
>>284025507Which means that it stands to reason that Gendo would not be told about a plan that he would have every opportunity to stop since he would oppose it
>>284025573Relationships are about compromise. Gendo would get his dominion but Yui would get to give her son a new world. Again, it only fell apart because Rei III derailed it at the last minute. Why do you think Gendo hates Shinji so much? He knows that Yui loves him more. He knows that he will have to make an exception to his master plan, and he knows that he will never quite be as important to her as Shinji.
