That’s me on screen btw. I married asuka. Ask me anything
How are you me?
I don’t think so buddy I’m the only one
>>286240292oh no no no kenbros what happened?
>he doesn't know
>>286241822it's a dream and she wakes up at the end, right?kind of like an instrumentality thing?
>>286240292Soon EVAtards will be clapping to an AI generated short made by Gainax
Around 28 years ago I thought Evangelion was complete dogshit and it would be forgotten in a few yearsWhy wont this trash fucking die jesus christ
>>286243823Why would your dogshit taste in anime have any bearing on popularity?
>>286240292>This is how we can still win
>>286243823calm down gramps. go take care of your grandkids or something.
>>286240292how long is your schlong
>>286243823>Around 28 years ago I thought Evangelion was complete dogshit and it would be forgotten in a few yearsyoure the same type of faggot that proudly said "computers? pshhh just a fad for NERDS" back in the day. anyone watching Eva when it aired knew it was some special work that would obviously turn to be a future classic.
>>286240292Cute couple
am i meant to care? end of eva was the end. none of the resulting headcanon means anything to me.
>>286245539Funny story. My cock is mega curved. I lose out on about half an inch due to curvature
>>286240292Reminds me of this.
>>286249831thats called scar tissue formation. you need to go to a doctor to get that fixed or it will get worse. best case senario is to shallowly inject anti-scar medication to break up the collagen plaque,
>>286240292Reposting Anon.Wait I get it now, thanks anon.Is common to associate a woman with the desire to get married and form a family. The closest person Asuka could do that with would be Shinji, the stand in for a relationship, i.e the "actor" in that "stage". Such a life is expected of let's say more docile or delicate women, that's why the image in the OP is traced from Rei. Rei would want to get married and have a baby. But Asuka is not Rei and will never be. A life fit for Rei is not the life for Asuka. She rejects Shinji, the conventional relationship expected of her, and embraces her true calling, shown as a life of independence and hardwork represented by "piloting EVA 02"A reaffirmation of how Asuka won't ever go back to Shinji (as he represents that life I mentioned) but will instead live for herself and make her own path outside of that. Basically her seiyuu's old dream came true and she's refusing to be tied to Shinji. The more I think about it the more I like this, it actually feels like what OG Asuka would do.
>>286250292No what bro my cock has js always been a lil curved it’s fine
>>286240292I think after the third thread the bait doesn't hit the same.
>>286240292My dad never carried my sister like this because he was scared he'd be reported to the police
>>286250466Kensukeschizo lostReitards lostSimple as
Can someone post the translation of what Asuka said at the end?
Look at how cute they all are (especially Kaworu)
>>286251434ありがとう。新人でも、この穏やかな優しい世界は、私がいるところじゃない。私が守るところだった。それに、もう夢に頼ることはやめる。現実の自分の力で幸せになる。それが一番私らしいやり方だって分かったから。Thank you. Even as a newcomer, this calm and gentle world isn’t a place for me. It’s a place I was meant to protect. And I’ve decided to stop relying on dreams. I will find happiness with my own strength in the real world. Because I’ve realized that’s the way that’s most true to myself.
>>286251400
>>286251469Cute dorks
>>286251510Kensukeschizo and Reitards on the leftAsukabros on the right
>>286251469Two Asuka. Sohryu =/= Shikinami
>>286251504And this is the real world, guys.
How the fuck can you stand her?
>Kaworu is the first person to show up and interact with Asuka, even before ShinjiWhat did Anno mean by this, Kawoasu chads?
>>286240292isn't this the dead timeline?
>>286251590And they clearly don't give a fuck about him
>>286251504I meant what she said at the very end before the credits roll
>>286251469>MariOh nononono Asushinbros. What the fuck is this?
>>286251866She said you were gay
>>286245587Only by pretentious assholes looking way too deep into something written by a hack who made it up as he went along.
I'm confused. Is the Soryu from the new short EoE Soryu or Rebuild Soryu?
wait, so it's canon that they married?
>>286252181No, it's one of many possibilities
>>286252207Anno is a pussy.
>>286251504Stop being pretentious, Anno. And give us the couple that was clearly meant to be.
>>286242080even worse. she's imagining herself married to shinji and the rejects him
none of this is canon though
>>286243319Gainax shut down a year or so ago. If Khara made an AI short I would clap, because the tools used to make a piece of art do not matter if it was made by good artists who are passionate about their work.
It was kind of a convoluted mess, asuka is talking to another version of herself and it doesn't seem serious at all. Came off as kinda cheap. Oh well
>>286243823this nigga is 60 years old and browsing /a/, lmao
>>286245587Not him, but the only kind of people who are impressed by anything in Eva have clearly had very few exposure to mecha, particularly to Getter Robo.
>>286251469Why are there two Asukass? Don't get me wrong, I love it.
If she wanted to marry Shinji, why was she a bitch towards him the whole time
>>286252780>Mom hanged herself after trying to choke her to death>Dad remarried and shoved her towards her stepmom>Stepmom didn't have a single fuckGeez anon, why would the neglected 14 year old kid lack emotional maturity to bond with another emotional neglected kid.
>>286252813She was openly affectionate towards Kaji
>>286252954And CHADji rejected her rightfully since she was just putting on an act. Asuka wasn't looking for romance, but for validation. Once again, she didn't have the right emotional tools to interact with people, and looking for romance with Kaji wasn't it, it was something else. And the time she was looking for that in Shinji, she fucked it up.
>>286252503She doesn't reject Shinji, she rejects being handed a happy ending instead of achieving her own
>most of the short is Asuka and Asuka beefing at each other>Soryu: "I am the ORIGINAL">Shikinami: "You're the original loser/jobber who keeps being beaten by Angels."OH SNAP.
>>286251583Why do you keep seething Boco?
>>286251469>soryu still wears a plugsuit because she lived and died in a world with evasThis is sad.
>>286252753Anno said that Shikinami Asuka and Soryuu Asuka were different people since 2.0. So EVERYONE shitposting with Kensuke were idiots. Yes, Shikinami does end with Kensuke. She barely even knows Shinji and stays with Kensuke for a decade.
>>286240292People are actually happy for this Marvel tier spin on the franchise?
>>286254154>Shikinami does end with Kensukehead canon much?
The short is an AU comedy skit where Asuka from NGE visits Rebuild world which itself is not the Finale since they are all teenagers going to school together, but a gag set up.
>>286240292>Short ends with Asuka not entertaining the idea of becoming Shinji's wife>She should that she's Eva 02 pilot>A showcase of her best moments as s pilot and character is show>No Shinji at all>Ashushinfags still want to reduce her as Shinji's Onahole>While Asuka rejects it since she has her own ideas and egoTruly the most brainlet side of the fandom.
>>286254174One of the animator directors working in their scenes, said they were directed to be a couple of husband-wife. She got so much hate online, Khara needed to threaten to sue morons who did that so it'll stop.They are meant to stay and live together. The family limbo was due to Shikinami's condition. Now it's lifted. You need to move on and accept that was never Asuka Souryu.
>>286254194People don't understand shit about her character. Anno was MOCKING them.
>>286254194It's nice fanservice only to end with the note Asuka's not prioritizing something like that, and her role as pilot and protector is what she wants to pursue.
>>286254194>Short ends with Asuka not entertaining the idea of becoming Shinji's wifeNot because she doesn't want it, but because she wants something that's real and not just a dreamNot to mention how the montage shown behind her does include a ton of Shinji...
>>286253163She does reject Shinji because when she configures what she wants and who she is and she aspires, it's only images of her as a pilot of Eva. She's not just rejecting Shinji, she rejects the idea of living in a world without Evas. She can't exist on Rebuild because her entire identity is being an Eva Pilot.
>>286254242>include a ton of Shinji...Includes him incidentally when piloting with her, but not in their actual moments together anon.>Not because she doesn't want it, but because she wants something that's real and not just a dreamyou misunderstand the short, it's about soryu unable to be in rebuild at all. she's incompatible with it because her role as eva pilot > everything."This is a world I want to protect" rather than a world she's fit to live in.Her existence, her life and death will eventually arrive to that world. But she's never going to live in it.
>>286254194OH NO NO NO ASUSHIN BROS, WE GOT PLAYED YET AGAIN
>>286254245Who's gonna tell her that TV ending and EoE also involve all evangelions being destroyed or thrown off the planet...
To a lifetime of Shipping Discourse.
>>286254272She declares that her happiness still lies in the future. She’ll find it herself.
>>286254283Eva 01 still exists, so it starts over. Even in the manga ending, they exist, MPEVAs are fossilized but there. The Evas only got COMPLETELY erased from existence by Buddha!Shinji in Rebuild because he rebuilt a world without them. All the cast in this short (which doesn't really set after Final ending, in Final, they are adults not teenagers) they are wearing school uniforms but Asuka perceives herself with a plugsuit.One of the things Shinji does in Instrumentality is remove Kaworu, Shikinami and Rei from Eva, who accept being more than pilots, living in a world without them.Original Asuka can't do that. That's probably Anno's statement of why Soryuu was replaced in Rebuild by Shikinami. Because Asuka Soryu absolutely can't exist without her identity as an Evangelion Pilot in his POV. All those possibilities she's showed: the marriage with Shinji, the Kaiju Asuka, etc, all are shot down. Even if she could be happy like that because her happiness and identity IS about being an Eva Pilot.Again, this isn't shipping discourse, it's Anno subtly telling the audience why Soryu wouldn't have worked for his Final in Rebuild. Because she would have refused to leave the Eva.That's why when SHE showcase her happiness and self, she shows exclusively her Eva battles in the ending. She basically fully succumbed to Eva curse. She can't be saved, but she'll still be happy on her own way.
the way people are twisting themselves in knots to cope and deny what the original show already made clear, and what the short reaffirmed, that Asuka has feelings for Shinji, is insane
>>286254311See >>286254351Her future is always a future with Evas. She literally has unsubtly the montage of her eva battles after she rejected Shinji.Remember the scene with Rei and Shinji in final? Rei realizes she has a place in the world outside Eva, she goes to find that. Asuka reaches the opposite conclusion.
>>286254359Her feelings for Shinji are unimportant to the short and the reason why was it made. You're basically reducing the 13 minutes short to a few seconds scene.
>>286254218Based Anno does it again kek
>>286243823Imagine being so proudly retarded.
>>286254351>Eva 01 still existsYeah, somewhere in the outer orbit of the solar systemAll the evas that are on earth were completely obliteratedNot to mention how creating one from scratch costs the GDP of an entire nation, and that the people who knew how to make them are very unlikely to ever come backThis is all without acknowledging the elephant in the room that all the angels are dead in Neon Genesis, Kaworu was the last one and the bridge bunnies even talk about thisSo if Asuka decides that piloting is the only thing she's going to live for, and the "Episode 27" label for the short means that it's supposed to tie back to the original show, then she's in for a rude awakening in more ways than one
>>286254283But she's still Asuka the Pilot. She's wearing a plugsuit at the end in EOE. Her identity as pilot is uscathed. It's the source of her pride. The source of who she is. That anon is correct there.In Rebuild, the pilots leave the Evas behind. Asuka wouldn't be able to do that. She would prefer to live cursed as long as she remains a pilot.
>>286254351>Because she would have refused to leave the Eva.I’d give credence to that except that she does decide to return to the world in One More Final, a world where she would no longer be a pilot. I see it more that she shouldn’t be reduced to ship bait, that her appeal was always wider than that.
>>286254421She's still a proud Eva pilot even if she can't pilot it right now. The perception of the characters is important. Asuka Soryu wears her plugsuit. Everyone else is wearing school uniforms. Do you understand the message? This isn't about hooking up with Shinji or not. This is about Asuka Soryu's characterization and why she wouldn't have worked for Rebuild at all. She would have never left the Eva.
>>286254371The short was showing her experience in the orange juice and how she arrived at the same decision Shinji did. She realized her ideal was being with Shinji but she wanted to achieve that happiness for real. She chose to live and struggle just as Shinji did. The train literally has a 4 framed in the center of the shot to represent death.She rejected the instrumentality and death of her ego to suffer in life alongside Shinji. It's damn near peak romance.
>>286254359Everyone and their uncle knows Shinji and Asuka loved each other since the original TV series. But how Asuka wanted that relationship to develop, and how Ashushinfags wanted it to be, it's not the same. Asuka was never a tamed dog. She was the Tsun Queen. And she's gonna put herself and her wishes over what her faggots fans want.
>>286254473See >>286254484Anno did say Shikinami wasn't Soryuu and was a different person. Asuka was still Asuka, Eva 02 pilot. She materialized in her plugsuit. Rebuild would remove the existence of Evas as if they were never around. Asuka just can't see herself existing in that kind of world, to her is like a dream she can protect but can't live on it.
>>286254504>suffer in life alongside Shinji.She never even brought up Shinji, you did. It would be a death for her because she only perceives herself as a pilot. A SOL life with Shinji? It's like dead.
The life as Shinji wife would be like death to her (the train number), she rejects it. Then has a celebration musical number where she showcases her piloting moments.
>>286254534>ESL schizo copeHer entire happy dream is about being with Shinji.She decides to accept herself and go after what makes her happy not others happy. She literally states this, and now we know what makes her happy.After she leaves the juice we see what happens, she ends up on the beach with Shinji. This is a 2 + 2 problem at this point.
>>286250127My wife was visiting Japan when the first film released, was and still is a fucking pokemon turbonerd and somehow never knew about this until like last year
>>286254359eva has so much significance to people, and it's been built up so much in their minds, that they can't handle an answer that feels like the other 'tribe' was right, that's the real issue. people turn a work into part of their identity, which makes any disagreement or alternate interpretation feel like a personal attack.
>>286254568>Her entire happy dream is about being with Shinji.The dream world isn't the vision of Shinji bro. It's in general the world she arrived, which is a Rebuild adjacent gag SOL world. Where maybe she could have that life with Shinji.You'll notice that having that life would kill who she is. That's why the train number is 4. She wants to protect that world, not live on it.
>>286254558>The life as Shinji wife would be like death to her (the train number)Trains in Evangelion represent introspection and the inner world as opposed to the real, physical worldThis is why the girls invade Shinji's train in End of Evangelion, as their inner monologues are literally being melted togetherShe doesn't reject the idea of being with Shinji but rather it being a convenient dream/thought that was handed to her on a silver platter rather than something real and tangible
>>286254534You retard, the short film begins with Asuka searching for a happy ending because the one in The End of Evangelion wasn't, and in searching, she basically rejects it because she realizes that the only coherent ending for her character is the one in The End of Evangelion. Asuka humiliates the Rebuilds, their fans, and all the coterie of wimps who can't understand a 13-minute short film. It's over, nigga.
>>286254245She rejects the fake life with ikari on instrumentality which is a dreamlike fantasy. She chooses reality and find happiness there. She is not rejecting, look at her eyes when she talks about it. stop being retards. Literally makes the calendar image even more canon now.
>>286254617>She doesn't reject the idea of being with Shinji but rather it being a convenient dream/thought that was handed to her on a silver platter rather than something real and tangibleNothing like that is stated. All she's being showed are possibilities of what she could be. I'm saying that the train that would lead to that specific stop is 4. Meaning THAT specific ending is associated with her death unlike the other meme things she saw before this.The ending is rejecting other possibilities because she's Nigoki Pilot Asuka Soryu Langley. With a montage to showcase that. She'll move toward her future holding that.It's the opposite ending of Rei in Rebuild who forsook Eva and accepted to live in a new world she doesn't need to pilot.It gives closure to the fans wondering why Asuka couldn't be in Rebuild, and why Shikinami replace her.You can ship her with Shinji or whatever, but this isn't about that. Her scene with Shinji was short as fuck too.
I never got around to watching the 4th movie. Should I rewatch the first 3?
>>286254632>Asuka humiliates the Rebuilds, their fans, and all the coterie of wimps who can't understand a 13-minute short film. It's over, nigga.It doesn't humiliate, but the opposite, she says that's the world she fought to protect. You dumb, son? She's fine with living and dying in a harsh world as long that one is built after. She's rejecting her happiness for herself and for that world too.
>>286254674>Nothing like that is statedAsuka literally says it herself.
>>286254632You almost got it right. Asuka's end is EoE. By her admission, she's unhappy... but she realizes she'll work with what she has to build her future.There was no humiliation. She praises that world. She doesn't belong there. She wants to protect and defend it. She can't exist without being an Eva pilot, or a former Eva pilot, and Rebuild would remove this from her. It's not shitting on anything.
>>286254703Where?
>>286254632>Asuka humiliates the Rebuilds, their fansThis really shows how fucking delusional the average asushin shipper is and how they don't pay attention.
Asuka's soul was probably in Eva 02, huh. She got destroyed with Gendo and Yui.
>>286254752see>>286251504
>>286254775That’s not a thing in rebuild.
>>286254761>>286254699>>286254699She's not rejecting happiness. She's rejecting having it HANDED TO HER ON A SILVER PLATTER. She prefers the real world, the one that hurts, so she can BUILD her own happiness. With Shinji, obviously, because she loves him. But if he didn't love her back (he does, but whatever), she'd move on, because she learned to love herself first.When you say "she's rejecting her happiness" you make it sound like she's choosing suffering out of duty. No, dumbass. It's an ACTIVE DECISION. She's choosing the happiness she's gonna BUILD HERSELF. It's not a sacrifice, it's growth. And about Rebuild, of course she rejects them. If she accepted them, she'd get the same shitty ending Shinji got with Mari: a handed-out, hollow, meaningless ending. She doesn't want that. She wants the real thing. So don't come at me with half-baked takes. You're agreeing with me halfway and still getting it wrong. Go cry to Mari.
>>286254761Why do you say this as you pay no attention to the series and EoE themselves? You can only ever beg external material to validate you.
>>286254785That doesn't mention Shinji. She's talking in general to that world.
>Rebuild fanservice>anno is a hack>Rebuild fanservice, Asushin>omg yaaasss anno, slaaayy!
>>286254817Why are you so dumb? She never mentions Shinji when she rejects it. A world so gentle isn't her world, it's a world she would protect. She'll fight for happiness in her world.Fighting for happiness doesn't mean she gets it. Rebuild IS the ending of Evangelion.
>>286254880She WILL get it.
Asuka WILL be happy... in my headcanon!
>>286254893we know, anno
>>286254857She makes that declaration after instrumentality brain blasts her with a life with Shinji, retard.That life is the type of happiness she's talking about.The entire short is just Asuka's experience with instrumentality. She chooses to chase happiness in real life even though it might be painful. After that we know what happens, she ends up on the beach with Shinji in EoE.It's amazing how this was made explicitly for retards that couldn't tell Asuka had feelings for Shinji.
>>286254880>Rebuild IS the ending of Evangelion>heh im pretending to be retarded
>>286254880lmao you're so close but still missing it. She doesn't need to mention Shinji—he's already there. In the real world. On the beach. Waiting for her. The fact that she doesn't name him proves she's moved past fantasizing and into action. She's not gonna yap about him like a schoolgirl anymore, she's gonna LIVE with him.And "fighting for happiness doesn't mean she gets it"? She literally wakes up next to him in EoE. That's the whole point. She got it. She chose it. She's already there.Rebuild is ONE ending. This is Episode 27, made by Anno, confirming Soryu's choice. Cope harder!
>>286254929Are you retarded?
>>286254951>no u
>>286254933>And "fighting for happiness doesn't mean she gets it"? She literally wakes up next to him in EoE. That's the whole point. She got it. She chose it. She's already there.That's not happiness when she's still miserable.Shinji also felt the same unhappiness because recalling everything in Rebuild, he undid Eva and rebuild the world. So maybe she wasn't as memorable to him.
>>286254929Rebuild never even pretended to be the ending , we already have a film called the ending.
>>286254966>Because she would have refused to leave the Eva.It’s in her future.
>>286254963Anno called Rebuild the sequel to EoE. Cope harder and the ending of the franchise.
>>286254978Anno also made this short tho.
>>286254970Yes, and that's Final, the last rebuild. By completing erasing Evangelions from existence in the past and future.
>>286254966>That's not happiness when she's still miserable.the whole point is that she will find a way to be happy in the future of that worldi just got in and this is a simple message you're being very autistic about. this is your 1 millionth nipnog, "I'll live in reality even if it sucks balls because that's reall and i dont want the blue pill" scenario and you're somehow missing the point. it just so happens that this reality is still with Shinji. Which is not necessarily romantic, but the fact that her ideal worlds are with Shinji conveys her feelings. It's basic deduction at that point. She wants a real love and life even if it's imperfect and somewhat shitty
>>286254976>It’s in her future.In the past.>>286254984This short takes place before Final conclusion. There's no Eva at all and the cast of Eva are 28 years old in final epilogue. It simply confirms Asuka's doomed when the last cycle rolls over.
>>286254986And now we have episode 7, that explicitly shows you that shit isn't the same world as EoE.Two Asuka's faggot, you paying attention yet? Asuka rejects the rebuild world btw. She says it seems it's alright but not quite right for her. Your cope is out of control.
>>286255008>In the past.The line says future.
>>286255002Anon, it's more than that. It means she'll just die after it and never be reborn again. We know Shinji is reborn. Rebuild Shinji and NGE one are the same fag. Asuka just fucking DIES.
>>286255009>727*
>>286255012EOE is the first cycle.
So was Asuka Soryu the other Asuka Shikinami saw trapped in the Eva as Gendo absorbed 02? She had a crazy expression.
>>286255028It’s concurrent.
>>286254966Shinji receives genuine affection for the first time in his life and cries like a bitch, and you're telling me it wasn't relevant to him? Kill yourself fucking nigga. Look at Shinji crying. That's the happiest moment of his pathetic life. Kaworu gave him validation, Rei gave him comfort—but Asuka? She touched his face GENTLY while he was CHOKING HER. She saw everything. His darkest fantasies, his self-hatred, every disgusting corner of his soul. And she stayed. That one caress is worth more than every word anyone ever said to him. And besides, it comes from the person he loves; just remember when he saw Asuka Eva destroyed, he wanted to destroy the damn world.
>>286255016Im not interested in the mumbo jumbos of the universe. I'm explaining her emotions in that scene because they're very obvious. Leave it to someone else to talk about the epilogues of this shit series.
>>286255048>It’s concurrent.No, it isn't. Rebuild finale takes place 14 years after 2015.It's a completely different cycle. Rebuild Shinji already lived that life, and remembers it. There's been at least 4 cycles between EOE and Rebuild which Anno called SEQUEL to EoE.
>>286255016They are different universes, faggot
>>286255055>he wanted to destroy the damn world.Well no. He only wanted to destroy the world after he saw she rejected him. Because at that point, he lost everything and everyone.And all those words meant nothing when Shinji wasn't happy with this and three more cycles happened until Shinji decided to put a fucking end to Eva. Rebuild Shinji already has his old memories. Anno said, all Rebuild characters but Asuka are the same people from NGE. This means she died permanently after EOE. Whether she was happy or not it's not my point. My point is that she could never be reborn again. Yui and Gendo souls got destroyed in Rebuild, so maybe her soul was destroyed too.
>>286255079>They are different universes, faggotDid you watch Final? Rebuild Shinji remembers his past in NGE. She just got erased from existence.
>>286255108And now Asuka also made contact with the rebuild world. It's two different realities, deal with it.
>>286254864The existing material was really enough for me and I can't care about anything else much. But the seethe from people trying to impose the Rebuilds as being superior to the original and claiming that Asuka's retarded shit in the former somehow invalidates the themes and nuance of the latter is hilarious.
>>286255101>This means she died permanently after EOE.Not necessarily after EoE, there were still more cycles between. Maybe it happened in one unseen cycle.
>>286255121>And now Asuka also made contact with the rebuild world.It's not the rebuild world, though? It's instrumentality connection which is outside time and space continium. Neither Kaworu or Mari attended to School with the rest. The ages and designs are wrong too.Shinji acknowledges NGE as his past. Asuka is visiting a future, a world, that can't be hers.
>>286255108Asuka herself says that after 29 years, she returned and merged with the Rebuilds universe to put on a show and emphasize how her development came to a close. Honestly, you must be trying to ragebait. I won't reply to you anymore. You're retarded and couldn't understand a children's short film.
>>286255143Because she has her own happiness to build in hers.
>>286255143She's literally offered to be part of that world and rejects it before the Shinji shit even happens. Your cope over this is hilarious.
>>286255150Which wasn't Shinji's. Since his only got a happy outcome in Rebuild.
>>286255163Because she's not part of it? She was never reborn. What is your cope when Anno said all the characters BUT ASUKA are the same people from NGE? It just means Shinji was never happy and so he was eventually reborn in Rebuild.
>>286255179>immediately ignores what I said because it bursts his schizo bubbleShe could've been part of it, faggot. That's the entire point she rejected it, it's a separate state of existence.That's why this celebration show had two Asuka's together at the same fucking time to show that they exist at the same time.She rejects rebuild because she doesn't feel it would make her happy. Gets the the shinji montage and agrees that's her happiness. However decides she doesn't want it without achieving it through her own effort in the real world. That's it, sorry your precious world view is crumbling.
>>286255206Is this the cope, that they are the same person?
>>286255232Gain some literacy and you wouldn't have so much trouble understanding basic story beats. Holy fuck you straight up can't read.
>>286255232NTA but I'm convinced you can't actually read.
>>286255248but you are addressing him in writi- ah, text-to-speech
>>286255246What does my illiteracy have to do with your cope?
>>286254857>She's talking in general to that world.Literally all the scenes were about Shinji
>>286254351>She can't be savedI can save her.
>asuka describes herself as nigoki pilot in the fucking last sentence>NOOO IT'S ABOUT ABOUT ASUKA IDENTIFYING AS A PILOT???????????
>>286255206>That's why this celebration show had two Asuka's togetherYes, because unlike the other characters they are apart. Shinji in Rebuild is the same Shinji as NGE, on the other hand. So he doesn't need this short because his story had a happy conclusion...in Rebuild.Soryu meanwhile is stated to be a different person by Anno since the second movie material. This short gave her a bit of closure because she was the only character in NGE without one.
>>286255370>Literally all the scenes were about ShinjiDid you miss the gag scenes she was larping as Kaworu/Shinji/Rei?
>>286240292We are reaching levels of delusions that shouldn't be possible.
>>286255206What does Asuka, a character Anno stated was different from NGE and EOE, have to do with the other cast? Rebuild Rei, Gendo, Yui, Shinji, and Kaworu are the same people from NGE which already went through cycles and previous lives. The narrative is profoundly Buddhist, with the Christian allegory being a dress-up. Shinji was a Boddhisattva in the end.
At the end after rejecting Shinji at the train station, she supposedly says "This is not my world, I'll grab happiness with my own strength!" So it reads to me like she wants to be with Shinji, but wants to earn it by growing with him and deal with human connection rather than getting it handed to her. Overall this short was fun.
Do you faggots ever get tired of being cripplingly autistic
>>286255693Do you know where we are?
>>286251504Based Asuka choosing to claim her dream in the real world.
>>286254194Cope and seethe, her fantasy is to be with Shinji, but she chooses to emerge from the LCL and live in the real world (with the real Shinji)
>>286255586Boddhisatva's aren't married. Lol.
>>286254508>I don't want to have children anywayMany, many women say this when young only to change their mind later.It would especially fit perfectly with her character arc of saying that early in the series while she's still immature.

>>286240292fuck off schizo
She could have dreamed of being the best pilot beloved by all.She could have dreamed of being a grown woman with Kaji.She could have dreamed of a peaceful childhood with her mother.But her heart’s true wish was to bear Shinji’s child.
>>286255842She’ll have three, minimum.
>>286243823Because the girls are sexy
>>286240292>child looks exactly like the motherwhy does japan always do this?
>>286255892Makes sense that Asuka’s perfect fantasy relationship with Shinji results in a child that she can recognize herself in.Becoming a mother is the perfect circle of healing her own wounds over her mother.
>>286255808>We look so happy. If only I wasn't such an autistic cunt. Damn.
>>286255892shinji's genome consists of 100% recessive alleles, please understand
>>286255892Shinji's Ikari genes are simply to beta to overwrite Asuka's schizo German ancestry
>>286255539We're talking about her happy fantasy which was all about Shinji idiot
>>286255766Shinji isn't either.
Tiffany Grant just creamed her pants
>>286255774literally in final? and the final booklet? Everyone got closure but Asuka from NGE.
>>286255774Rebuild Shinji literally remembers NGE, are you stupid or didn't you watch this? It says it's his past too. His PAST.
>nobody is posting pictures
>>286255998Only in instrumentality when he has access to the alternative versions of himself. It’s his “past” in the sense that Evangelion the franchise had a past. This short confirms the intention very clearly, EoE is its own timeline and Rebuild is separate.
She imagined this btw.
And this.Whoever coping is blind
>>286256048Her deepest desires, revealed.Wonder how long Shinji and Asuka hang out on the beach before they do it for real. I give it a week tops.
>>286256065It will probably take many years. They're both dealing with too many psychological issues at the moment, but at least they'll be able to resolve their problems little by little
Another camrip has popped up with a better angle and has proper subtitles.https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xa0i0q2
>>286256076Considering Asuka's impulsiveness and Shinji's people pleasing tendencies, there's a non-zero chance that they end up becoming teen parents accidentally
>>286255998What fucks with me is Rebuild Shinji referenced the last scene of EoE, after Instrumentality was cancelled, so Rebuild itself can't be a 3rd Impact hallucination.
>>286255892They are a homogeneous people; their children look like their mothers.
>>286256087>Plus we’re from DIFFERENT TIMELINESTotal victory
>>286256099Rebuild is just another timeline that easy, why else would they remake eva in the first film just to branch it off.It's essentially a separate universe with its own origin.
>>286256087>Confirms Kimochi Warui is about the strangleWow
>>286256098Hmm, I don't know. I really expect Asuka's personality after The End of Evangelion to be quite pragmatic, cynical, and still rather afraid of intimacy, with many nuances. She wouldn't forgive Shinji yet; he would have to prove it by staying and not abandoning her. I don't deny that she loves Shinji, and all that, but a lot happened; this would normally take years. But they're also teenagers, and there was always sexual tension, so who knows?

>>286256111Rebuild confirmed for AU garbage that can be ignored TOTAL NGE VICTORY
>>286256232The sequel debate… is OVER
>>286256087Oof sorry anons, this short is not primary canon. Secondary canon at best.
I just woke up what is all of this?
>>286240292that's me in the cornerthat's me in the spotlightmarrying my waifu
>>286256265>Shows asuka's perspective on instrumentalityImo it's more canon than not.
>>286256296New short for Eva’s 30th anniversary starring Asuka from the original timeline (Soryu) interacting with the Rebuild cast (including Shikinami).Soryu tries to find her own happy ending ala instrumentality, fun gags ensue but none are quite right, some fanservice, Asuka finally interacts with Kaworu for a moment, tiny Mari tease, but the climax is a fantasy where she can be Shinji’s wife and bear his child. Her eyes light up, but she realizes that she doesn’t want to live in the fantasy, she’d rather go back to reality.
>>286256253>soryu doesn't have the tuftsthank god they remembed
>>286256321>Soryu’s perspective on instrumentality includes her knowing that she’s in a show and it’s been 30 yearsYou can interpret it that way if you want but it’s really quite thin and her declaration in the end about wanting to be a pilot that saves the world doesn’t match up with EoE. All this really does is suggest that Anno views Soryu as really liking Shinji a lot and would be interested in a romantic life with him, and most critically that Rebuild is explicitly a different timeline.I do not believe this is a literal depiction of her instrumentality experience, but a secondary canon source like Evangelion 2.0 containing what-if non-canon content, but filling in the gaps for how Anno views the character.
>>286256087THIS is the shit Asushin faggots were claiming proved they won?? LMAO This whole thing is just Asuka tsundere delusions about being with shinji, like it wasn't obvious that asuka liked shinji in the original series. At the end of the day what matters is who Shinji chooses to be with and well even assuka admits that Shinji clearly loves Rei WAY more than he does her with her self-inserting as Rei in her most romantic scene with Shinji in 2.22. Then again Asushin bitches have been getting humiliated non-stop for the last 20 years so I guess it's harmless to let them cope for the next few days about this, they'll still never be on the same level as Reigods though.
>>286256374
>>286256374>He thinks a Shikinami gag moment putting Soryu in a Rei scene (that she didn’t even like experiencing) is somehow a concession to ReiEl oh el.
>>286256374Soryuu's imagined future btw
>>286256374Show mercy to them anon, I think it's only fair they get a few days where they don't have to be pathetic jobbers before they return back to reality
>>286256087>Media OfflineKEK ok that got me
The two most interesting moments in the short regarding One More Final: I Need You:1. Soryu speculates that Shinji is happy with that ending.2. Soryu implies that her “Kimochi Waroui” is a direct response to what she experiences on the beach, being brought back to reality and strangled.
>>286240292AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE KENSUKEBROS NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>286256374>Coping with the non-canon AU filmsLol
>>286256393>>286256404>>286256416*walks away*
>>286256445…from the fantasy and towards reality (where the real Shinji is)
This is an official frame anno decided to create, direct and include into a evangelion media. Just saying.
>>286256438You don't have to cope anymore anon, love won <3
>>286256460Mari won in this timeline nobody cares about.
I really liked that it affirmed how noble Asuka is. For all the issues she had, she was proud of the fact that she was saving humanity as the pilot of Unit 02.
>>286256519I liked it but it leaves me confused. First she says she’s tired of chasing dreams and wants to go back to reality, but then she says she’s gonna save the world as a pilot. How does she intend to do that in her reality?
>>286256545She’s gotta pilot Shinji’s entry plug and birth the new population into existence.
>>286256545i think you can't take that little ending bit 100% literally or 'in-universe', or something like that. it's doing the instrumentality thing but it's also doing a meta retrospective 4th wall comedy thing, and that line is her talking directly to the audience after all.
>>286256545She self identifes as a pilot all the children do it's not that confusing.
>>286256545The framing device and her instrumentality sequences aren’t in the same context. Asuka’s conversation with fantasy Shinji is her “good ending” meant to be taken seriously, while the final sequence outside of that ending is meant to encapsulate her spirit as a character.
>>286256545Rebuild of Asuka incoming
>>286256545Basically, she accepts her timeline and its ending, where she was a pilot and ended up with Shinji. It's as if you took the two Asukas from both universes and they were omnipresent in their own stories. The original Asuka wanted a happy ending, but she realized that went against her character, so in the end she accepts her own story, being the pilot of Eva Unit-02 and experiencing all its events. It's not complicated.
>>286256609It’s interesting that Meta-Asuka acts like she doesn’t know what happens to her after she says Kimochi Warui, but she speculates Shinji is happy with their ending.
>>286256545Asuka is ready to rebuild the world after the apocalypse, and she loves Shinji. Anno is spelling out that hopeful future speculation is valid and in character. Asuka essentially dealt with her “disgusting” feeling in front of us, and it was Shinji who was able to get her there. The future holds hope.
>>286256631Regarding the latter, Shinji is clearly happy; he genuinely is. He received genuine affection for the first time in his life from the person he cares about/loves but didn't know how to reach, and whom he hurt deeply. On the other hand, we can't expect perfect logic from the short film, as it's only 13 minutes long, but it still doesn't falter in its plot. Both Asukas simply remember or are aware of what happened, and they approach it with humor, breaking the fourth wall. Asuka Soryu knows her timeline is a mess, where she'll be the pilot of Eva Unit-02 (that's why she mentions this at the end), so she decides to change it. She herself asks for love and that (beyond the humor and fanservice, this was what Asuka truly longed for, the desire for someone to genuinely see her, not to be abandoned, etc.), and she idealizes that with Shinji deep in her heart. Even so, it's useless. She complains about all the happy endings, even the ones where she would be happiest, because she knows that would go against her character, her story, herself. That's why she ultimately accepts her story, deciding herself (after experiencing all the events) to go for her own happy ending, even though it will obviously be difficult. Just after leaving the beach, she was strangled by Shinji, and both were catatonic. It's a gift of hope, as another anonymous person said, but it confirms Asushin, but more than that, Asuka ends up accepting herself; with self-love you can love other people.
Asukafags are fucking annoying christ
>>286256716>enters thread just to complain about thread

>>286256716>ChristGo back to church kiddo
lmao
>>286256834OUR HERO
>>286256834Are you retard? She says that her happy end that she will choose ffor herself will exist, not the dream that she saw.
>>286256847I meant you >>286256847
>>286256862Anon he just said lmao
Shikinami was so shallow compared to Sohryu in the short
Franchise was RUINED by having a 'real' world and Shinji happily running off to become an exhausted wageslave.
>>286256393Is it already out and available for torrenting?
>>286256913>FranchiseNope, just a spinoff timeline you can ignore if you want.
>>286256445It irks me that Soryu's hair in this short is bright orange instead of actually being red
>>286240292how many time can EVAtards be milked with the 10th non-cannon series/OVA?
>>286256955Asuka can milk me as much as she wants.
>EoE was a asushin end they said>she hates itAnno absolutely destroyed Asukafags with this episode
>>286256968Didn’t finish the short award
>>286256968Nobody (seriously) claimed that Asuka liked the experience of being strangled. But yes, it is Asushin and the short makes that explicitly clear.
>>286256968Your coping is like music to my ears
>>286256947She also has those stray strands of hair around the clips in some shots but not others, bit of a drag given how good the rest of it is.
If it’s Episode 27 and not 27’, doesn’t that suggest that TV and EoE share concurrent canonicity?
>>286256989>>286256990But she didn't like the ending because she wasn't happy soon after that line tho
>>286257017Yeah she wasn’t happy being strangled. This short is about Soryu wrestling over her ending and ultimately accepting it with hope in her heart for the future and a confirmed (still present) affection for Shinji, validating the perspective that EoE is a hopeful ending that is Asushin.
>>286240292What would be her name
>>286257016there aren't two episode 27s so they wouldn't need to differentiate between them with a mark
>>286257016Not necessarily, but Anno suggesting that EoE is Asuka’s actual ending is interesting and contributes to the theory.
>>286257034Mirai soryuu
>>286257016it depends more on if they used arabic or chinese numerals.
>>286257033>validating the perspective that EoE is a hopeful ending that is Asushin.lmao, she created another timeline where she accepts herself and can stand for her own without needing validation from others and still is the pilot of eva 02. It won't continue from that scene from the beach, that scene was a bad ending
>>286257059>She [HEADCANON]Cope
>>286257064Are you retard? It's in the short
>>286256202And your phone screen typed this now did it? A tool is a tool, doesn’t matter the level of abstraction.
>the story of Soryu ends with EoE, Rebuild has Shikinami shown to be a different character>this implies that whatever happens post EoE, it is the true end for Soryu. No need to loop anymore. She is freeBros...
>>286257059>She created another timelineThe exact opposite of returning to reality, something she said she intended to do. It will continue from the beach, where she is the pilot of Unit 02. Rebuild characters wanted “a world without Eva”, but Soryu wants to continue to exist where she belongs, a world with Eva. This is one of the easiest to comprehend pieces of Eva media and you somehow flunked it.
>>286257059mega cope
Soryu is shown to be in the wrong for thinking EoE is a bad ending. It’s her proper ending, and she accepts it with fire in her heart. You should too.
>Shinji can impregnate a womanOddly inspiring considering how much of a fag he is.
>Shinji Baka! , i had this dream where i talked to an alternate version of myself, what did you do? >wait how i am not dead i just got killed by those gray evas, wait wtf happened to the planet????>Also did you try to strangle me, wait is that fucking Rei???>Why is she so big?
>>286257128Poor schizoska
>>286257128Asuka had a nightmare after drinking too much lcl and reiflesh soup again…
So, did Anno unironically copy Retake?This fucking hack
>>286257155Game respects game
>>286257034Mari
>Anno said he had to work to 6 a.m to finish the movieEither he works with passion or he's so lazy he only finished near deadline.The fact that they copied KawoRei art for this film already tells something.
>>286257128She had a dream of the future inside the dream too.
>>286257174I wonder if the release version will have tweaks.
>>286257174probably a bit of both
>>286257179Instrumentalityception.
>>286256968>his worldDoes Asuka not realize that the 3rd impact earth is real life before the end card? Does she think she’s still in instrumentality?
>>286257216maybe she means ot kind of derisively, like it's his fault.
>be Asushinfag>constantly combat with other shipfags for over 20 years because of how ambiguous EoE is>Khara made Rebuild>2.0 is full of ReiShin>"it's ok, 3.0 will be for AsuShin">3.0 out and it is about KawoShin, also Asuka is even more annoying than the original>'ok we still have the last movie'>have to wait 8 years for 3.0+1.0>Kenken impact happens>entire internet laughs at you>all hope is lost>suddenly 30+ out>you win when you have zero expectation to begin withNot gonna lie.That's quite a crazy ride.
>>286257174he was just joking around.
>>286257227All 30+ did was make the proper interpretation of EoE undeniable. To people who already interpreted the series correctly, it didn’t change anything.
props to miyamura, for still sounding as cute as ever.
>>286257227this week alone>Resident Evil 30th anniversary game retcons the entire series and rapes the setting (even more than it already was)>Eva 30th anniversary is funny, cute and canon.ya win some ya lose some
>Anno milking his only succesful project AGAIN
>>286257265If milking means giving me a right about everything award and making Rebuild not canon then moo moo motherfucker
>it takes nearly 30 years to comfirm that "One more final: I need you" is about Asuka needing Shinji, not the other way aroundWhat a twist
>>286257250Yeah it's impressive for practically being a one woman show/monologue.
>>286257285Imagine now future generations don't have to deal with all that vague bs
>>286257227>after 29 years we finally get to see Soryu again
Now that Rebuild has been properly quarantined from the original, I hope that it can step out of the shadow of its predecessor and be taken for what it is instead of what it isn’t. They are interesting movies.
>>286257285They need eachother :3
>new content goes out of it's way to make old content worse instead of just being bad by itselfdunno why everyone loves doing this so much
>>286257285Holy shit, sad and tragic, a poorly told love story
We reigods will enjoy asushin and kensuke spammers argue even more
Is this short film always in Anno's plan?Like with the whole Asuka having different surname and backstory in Rebuild.Or the fact that Shinji track list got interrupted by Mari in 2.0. Then in 3.0 it started playing track 28 and skip track 25 to 27. Skip 25 and 26 are easy to understand as it is the sign that Rebuild will have different ending from the original.But skipping track 27 is a strange detail that can finally be answered through this short film: ep 27 is about Soryu who does not exist in Rebuild.So Anno has planned this way back when 2.0 was released, over 15 years ago.
>>286257324It’s beautiful actually but it goes over your head.>>286257320Nothing was made worse
>>286257128The short canonically takes place 29 years after EoE.
>>286257337Never doubt the master again
>>286256087gg
>>286252569Poo inside the loo please
>>286257337Anno is only interested royalties. He realized nobody cared about Mari and he decided to terminate her and push Asuka with Shinji.
>Asuka becomes milf>flat>also have dead mom haircutKek
>>286243823How is Eva bad?
>>286257337turns out he was playing 5d chess and we were the fools.
>>286257343No it doesn’t. The meta-knowledge that the characters have in this instrumentality short does not suggest that Soryu is 29 years older.
>>286257340I don't think it's beautiful. Beyond the fact that the world is a mess and it's unclear whether there are more or fewer humans, Asuka lost an eye, an arm, has many injuries on her body, psychological trauma, some of which will last her entire life, and Shinji is psychologically the same or worse. The tragic part is that they both loved each other and didn't understand each other at all throughout the entire series. The hopeful part is that at least now they can try, but that doesn't make the situation any less messed up
>>286257340>nuh uh!grow up
>Codex deleted the EoE is a bad ending video essay from his youtube acctHoly shit total victory
>>286257395You must retard to think Eva has a good or bad ending
>>286257389Life is hard but they chose to live it anyway. Humanity persists, our two characters have taken the first steps towards growth, and eventually, a better life.
>>286257395i hate when people reference ecelebs- but i love when bad faith pseuds get blown the fuck out even more! kek what a BITCH
>>286257356Hot
>>286257411Yeah which is why i don't buy the whole "eoe is a bad ending" when the entire point is that things are going to get better.
>>286257405or an ending at all
>their daughter will have genes from both German and JapaneseNatural born loser lmao
>>286257411Yeah, I agree with that. I know there will be idiots who look at the work superficially and won't understand a thing, they'll keep at it for decades, but for those of us who took a little time, it's been obvious for a while how much they both loved each other and didn't know how to express it, they just confirmed the obvious. 'Any place can be paradise as long as you have the will to live. After all, you're alive, so you'll always have the chance to be happy. As long as there's a sun, a moon, and an earth, everything will be alright.'
>Asuka removes all Tsun act after seeing her peak fantasy with Shinji>doesnt even call him "baka Shinji" anymoreIt's just so beautiful
>>286257455her American genes will make up for it (McDonalds collab confirms this)
What happened to despairfag? For years the faggot has been posting "EoE is s bad end" up until the other day and now I haven't seen one of his shitty images?
>>286257455>femaleguaranteed popular as long as she's not fat, normalfags love white girls with asian features
>>286257174Anno has always been known for finishing things last-minute since at least Nadia. That and a bit of >>286257241
>>286257411"better"
>>286252476Erm... where are the citations for that?
>Asuka saw that she would become salarywoman>immediately reject ShinjiKek
>>286257395It got hit by a copyright strike.
>EoE is original Asukas good ending>she admits she loves ShinjiFeels good to be vindicated after 30 years
>in this dark age when Tsundere loses one after another (Nino) or becomes laughing stock (Kana)>there is still AsukaProof that there is still hope for Tsundere. I still hate that trope tho.
>>286256064>Rei showing more emotion at Asuka and Shinji's wedding that she ever has in her lifekek
>>286257457What I love most about One More Final (and there’s so much to love about it) is it’s brave enough to show something you rarely see in a story.Conventionally, we want our characters to learn something and change into better people, or a more realized version of themselves. EoTV is an excellent example of this, a climactic eureka moment where Shinji untangles the knot inside himself and realizes what he must do to be free.But EoE goes one step further. It shows the (metaphorical) day after the epiphany. Just because you’re equipped with the knowledge of how to move forward, doesn’t mean you have completed your journey of self actualization. Deciding you’re not going to kill yourself doesn’t mean you aren’t left with your wagie shift the next day, and the underlying issues that drove you to the brink. Shinji is put to the test when Asuka shows up, and instead of the conventional display of growth, we actually see him stumble, hard. But Asuka’s response to his failure to live up to his intentions for himself is to display her own growth, and show him a moment of kindness. To pick him up off the brink again. Naturally, she follows that up with a characteristic jab “disgusting”. This moment is so raw and real, unafraid to show how difficult it can be to better yourself, but in this scene, we get just enough to suggest that with great effort, they can pull through. Together.
>>286257081So do each loop/cycle feature a different Asuka, or is Soryu until Rebuild?
>>286257592
>>286257600They are separate timelines, confirmed in this short. One does not lead into the other, unless you are Kaworu.
>>286257085"Eva" is not reality, it's basically repetition and destruction. Asuka just can't live without it. That's the core of the identity she has, for good or evil.
>>286257615
>>286257617“Eva” is Asuka Langley Soryu’s reality, and she will fight to better her world.
Did Jap Asuka fans threaten to burn Anno and Gainax that he had to cough up this extra ending?There's nothing wrong with the Mari one but this screams creator cowardice.
>>286257637The biggest Asuka fan is Anno himself.
>>286257637Asuka is Anno’s favorite character. This is him acknowledging that in his quest to show a timeline of Evangelion where the characters would be happy if they lived in a world without Eva, he had to alter Asuka to such an extent that she was no longer the same character. He himself wasn’t satisfied with the Soryu question. The short affirms that the original belongs to the original, that a world with eva is worth it too.
>>286257637Asuka herself opened a portal to reality and threatened anno.
Eva entire message is that YOU shape your world. EoE isn't Asuka's world, she complains SHINJI pulled her into his world. She rejects that tries to finds another ending. Then she concludes, she'll make her world as proud Eva 02 pilot. She's not returning to EoE, she's actually dipping to create her world. That was actually her ending in NGE 2. She leaving Instrumentality, forging her own world where she protects it as Eva 02 pilot.
>>286257668Can confirm i was there
>>286256609>Basically, she accepts her timeline and its endingShe doesn't. She rejects it on inception because is NOT Her world. It's Shinji's.
>>286257676>EoE isn’t Asuka’s worldFailed to comprehend a straightforward gag short award
>>286257554that report? sent by anno personally
I have only ever watched the original TV series, seems like I'm missing out on a little bit here and there
>>286257676>>286257686Can't tell if cope or genuine retard
>Soryu is satisfied with living with Shinji post EoE so she doesn't exist in Rebuild anymore. The one in her place is just a clone with different surname>But Shinji doesnt like EoE ending so he continues loopingAsuka comfirmed shit wife.
>>286257676>>286257686Wrong. She wants to return to reality. “Forging your own world” is what you do in instrumentality, the thing she just tried to do and couldn’t fit in anywhere. Asuka did not get her perfect autistic little fantasy universe, that’s always been the opposite of what Eva wanted for its characters.EoE is her world, and this short is showing how she comes to realize that. She can still be herself there, love herself there, maybe make her world better and bring it closer to her dreams, and it’s real.
>>286257616>TimelineStop taking a biased FAN minstranslation as canon, bro.
>>286257706*bzzt* wrong! Loop theory got btfoed, they are alternate timelines that don’t interact besides Kaworu and instrumentality.Asuka herself says that Shinji was happy with EoE.
>>286257592and that's how they learned rei and open bars don't mix
>>286257687failed to comprehend what she tells you? She literally calls it Shinji's disgusting world.
>>286257716Cope copeity cope
>>286252156>>286252738>muh mechaits not a mecha though. its a psychological soap opera with giant robots and gore. its genius. also classical music on top of gruesome battles. genius and eternal work.
>>286257676bro take a day off and workshop it a bit, these copes are not hitting
>>286257731At the beginning of the short before she takes ownership over her own reality and accepts that it’s hers too. Isolating a statement made before character development happens is pure retardation.
>>286257707>“Forging your own world” is what you do in instrumentality,Idiot. That's not what Instrumentality does. And she pretty much says EoE is Shinji's world, not hers. This is straight out her mouth. It's basically NGE 2 animated but with Rebuild stuff cooked in. In there, Asuka also REJECTS instrumentality, creates her world, and explicitely denies Shinji end.
That was cute but incredibly generic, Anno lost the magic
>>286257676The retards can't comprehend this
asuka singlehandedly reviving eva discourse by being herself, based
>>286257752>That’s not what instrumentality doesYes it is, you have freedom to pick your own fake playground autismverse.>She says EoE is Shinji’s worldAt the beginning of the short before she realizes she belongs there too, the point of the entire short.>Appeal to non-canon videogameInstantly dismissed
As an Asukafag for the last 30 years I'm on cloud nine
>>286257760Proof she's best girl
>>286257668The Merge is On
Asuka never said timeline, she said "world" (sekai). And that's true. Kaworu said the world was destroyed and born again many times. The other versions of the world are no longer the same even if the souls remained.Even the world at the end of Rebuild is no longer the same world it was before. Like Shinji called it a "new world." So this EoE is parallel cope is funny when ANNO said it was BEFORE Rebuild.
>I’m going back to real life>And by real life I mean I’m god over a new world and get to choose exactly how it plays out and make myself a perfect existenceKek
>>286240292What's next?
>>286257788Both exist in the same short, ergo, one world doesn’t destroy the other.>BeforeOut of universe chronologyCope and seethe.
>>28625780510 years of shitposting, maybe more
>>286257800She said she'll always be Eva 02 pilot as long as humanity exists, and after she protects her world as pilot, she'll find her happy ending because she's Asuka Langley Soryu. Nigga what about that screams "I'm going back rotting on a beach." That she explicitly called SHINJI's world.
she ends up with a loser with low self-esteem he ends up with an abusive violent ungrateful arrogant bitchneither of them won
>>286257810>Both exist in the same short, ergo,The short is a gag skit that can't happen in either work, with Asuka breaking the four wall is an anniversary thing. Are you stupid bruh? It doesn't matter if Rebuild happens later when you're dealing with a comedy skit. After the end was a comedy skit similar to this, but was a cd drama, Anno worked on it. Nobody said "Yeah so everyone after EOE is back and is having a school meeting."
Cracksuka
>>286257819She will always be the pilot of Unit 02, that’s who she is in reality, in her world.She is affirming her intention to better her reality, this is her embracing the future of her existence in her story. We already know more souls will return, humanity is not dead. And as we all know, if you have a will to live, anywhere can be paradise.>She called Shinji’s worldIn the beginning of the short before she undergoes her development by the end, throws away fantasy (something you are ignoring) and affirms that she wants to go back to reality.
>>286257810Asuka four walls that this meeting can't happen at all because BOTH ASUKAs belong to different worlds. So on inception is impossible to happen. It's just a fantasy. But NGE/EoE did happen in Rebuild backstory. It was a previous, destroyed world. It's just impossible for Asuka to be in there.
Love yourself
>>286257863>>286257863>She will always be the pilot of Unit 02, that’s who she is in reality, in her world.She literally doesn't have her Eva in Shinji's world. AGAIN, she never called that HER WORLD, she called it Shinji's world and she found it disgusting.I'm sure there'll be a Shinji in her world, just not that shitty version.
>>286257838>The short can’t happenAnd yet, it did. The original timeline is free from rebuild nonsense.
>>286257876
So that’s what Asuka saw when she was part of the Fanta ocean?
>>286257876>She doesn’t have her evaDoesn’t matter, she’ll always be the pilot of 02, in her world, where she belongs, the one that she affirmed she would return to (instead of repeating what she did wrong in the short, trying to engineer a fake world).
>>286257867This is just Re-Take
>>286257878as a gag anni scene. so after the end is also canon to you? good to know, so everyone's back and asuka never hooks up with shinji after eoe. since we counting gag comedy skits as canon. they are also power rangers apparently.no matter how you repeat this, it can't happen because it's already in final. and anno himself said it's the SEQUEL TO EOE.ASUKA just dies after her world inevitable eds. She can't NEVER be part of Eva again.
>>286257887So it seems
>>286257889She never said she'll return to Shinji's world. What are you even talking about? This is like NGE 2 Asuka scenario finale. She creates her world after leaving instrumentality where she's the protector of Earth as Eva 02 pilot.
Which Asuka is this?
>>286257897Yeah it's great isn't it
>>286257900After the end doesn’t take place in universe, this does.>Anno said it’s the sequel to EoEIn terms of out of universe chronology, it’s a spiritual sequel, not a literal one. The two timelines have been freed from the burden of one another.
>no fantasy world where she's friends with ReiDamn is it THAT unlikely
>>286257924Anno hates Rei
>>286257910Are you like actually retarded? The entire short is about her rejecting the worlds Shikinami shows her. And your conclusion after all that is that she just creates another world?
Tv AU forshadowed this
>>286257910She said she’d return to reality, which for her, is EoE. That is her reality. Her comment calling it Shinji’s world was the conflict of the short, and the experience of the short allowed her to change her mind about it. She doesn’t want a fake world, she wants her world, EoE.
Oh, I get what anon is saying. NGE 2 shows that strictly, EoE isn't actually the ending of Evangelion, just the end of Shinji's Evangelion world. And the bad end. In the good end, he saves Rei, Kaworu and Asuka, and leaves Nerv. Each character has a world-ending. Asuka's never losing Eva 02 pilot status. Rei's fucking dying is sabotaging Lilith. Kaworu is leaving Earth with a seed of life, takig all Evangelions and angels with him. Among other scenarios. All characters got one.Anno, when NGE2 was launched, said that Evangelion can end differently depending which character has a focus. We've only followed Shinji's side. Yes, EoE only happens in Shinji's specific bad end. Asuka saying Shinji's pulled her to his world is a nod to this.
>If I pretend to be retarded maybe asushin will loseLmao
>>286257943>She said she’d return to reality, which for her, is EoE. No, it's not. You don't get Evangelion it seems. She never once speaks of returning there.
>>286257961Nobody is talking about asushin, only you fags
>>286257952>Appeal to non-canon videogameImmediately dismissed.
>>286257910>286257910Holy shit, these assholes can't understand a simple 13-minute short film that clearly demonstrates she doesn't want a fantasy world and accepts the story and ending of her original work (the series + EOE). These same morons who don't understand this are the same ones who try to understand one of the most ambiguous series in history, Evangelion. I wonder what the hell they feel when they watch an episode.
>>286257966Nope, I get the short perfectly well, it’s incredibly straightforward. You really really want it to be something it isn’t, but it will never be.See>>286257936
>>286257917What happened to the Re-Take sequel
>>286257940Lmao
>>286257973The videogame that ANNO himself launched and worked with set up Rebuild. Rebuild basically is Shinji's true end in steroids (leaving Eva behind, saving the pilots, calling out and making peace with Gendo).
>>286257995Rebuild is AU garbage that can now be ignored for all time
>>286257976That's not her world.>>286257986She doesn't want anyone making a world for herself. SHE'LL make her own world. EOE isn't her world. It's Shinji's.
>>286257940
>>286257995>Appeal to non-canon videogameDismissed
>>286258014>non-canonlol
>>286258008Rebuild is the end of the franchise, according to Anno himself. You can live in your delusion.
>>286258014You're appealing to a non-canon gag anni short.
>>286258009Reality is reality. She is not making her own autismverse. That goes against everything Eva is about. She is returning to her character’s reality, EoE. It’s uplifting because she has embraced her real home as a place where she belongs and can live/move forward. There is nothing uplifting about claiming to leave fantasy behind and then construct an elaborate fantasy world, and calling that “reality”.
Based Anno confirming Rebuild was just a cashgrab to get Khara off the ground and now it can safely be confined to AU hell having no impact on the cannon of NGE
>Says Shinji pulled her into his world>N-No tha-that's realitynote she doesn't include it in the montage.
>>286258026Franchises contain alternate canons. Not a gotcha.
>>286258026Yet here we are, watching Episode 27, confirming Rebuild is a different timeline
>>286258053>Franchises contain alternate canons.>"Sequel to EOE">Alternate canonsBro. Just keep coping.
>>286258058Nothing about it confirms is a different timeline.
>>286258049>Says Shinji pulled her into his world(Two minutes in, creating the conflict of the short)(…Many failed attempts at escaping reality later…)>I’m going back to reality, I’m going to stop relying on fantasiesThere is nothing contradictory about this. She grew over the course of the short.
>>286258067She literally says it's from a different timeline retard
>>286258081It’s finally over
>>286258080Based autocrat soryuu
>>286258060Yep, a spiritual sequel in an alternate canon.
I LOVE ASUKA AND ASUKA LOVES ME!
>>286243823I'm glad it makes you angry
>>286258071>>I’m going back to reality, I’m going to stop relying on fantasiesShe never said anything about "going back." She says she'll make her happiness real instead of relying on dreams and fantasies.Immediately after she gets a montage that EXCLUDES EoE.
>>286258107>a spiritual sequelNever called a spiritual sequel. When Shinji, Kaworu, Rei, Gendo, all recall the OLD WORLDS starting with NGE.It's a laworld before the "neon genesis."
>>286258081>>286258090>relying on a shitty fansubWhat does she say retard? She says SEKAI.Timeline is JINKANJIKU.
>>286258140
>>286258140She says she wants to live in reality, something you should try to do as well.>But the blue curtains mean—Her reality is EoE and she says she wants to live in reality. Done.
>>286258167It's the same shit you autist
>>286258181Where does she say she's "going back"? Immediately after that she gets to play with the band and deny EoE.
New merch
>No you see, reality isn’t actually a real thing that you exist in, reality is something you can choose, y’know, like a fantasy
>>286258197If her reality were EoE why doesn't she include EoE in the montage of her world at the end?
>>286258208>Plays the song from eoeDosen't that proof she goes back to eoe?
>>286258081I think the proper line would different worlds
>>286258208Pardon me, people come from reality, so when a character says they want to live in reality and not a dream, the “back to” is implied.But sure, it’s not a direct quote.
>>286258227would be*
>>286258127>I'm glad to be a savage living among filth because it makes civilized people disgustedOk.
>>286255009So Asuka's ideal world is that she gets to be dicked down by Shinji AND she continues to be an EVA pilot?
>>286258204You're a colossal retard. Worlds have been used for different versions of a loop/cycle happening in the same planet. Kaworu and Gendo and others yapped about it. EOE is an OLD world, it was over and the cycle moved on. Even "Rebuild" world was destroyed. The ending with the world without evas is explicitely called a NEW world. In this new one, only Shinji and Mari recall the past one.>but how can it coexistIt's an anniversary gag crossover shit. Technically, all these characters are versions of previous worlds, none of the new one. Who are Balding Sailryman Shinji, Office Lady Cake Mari, and others.
Misato remains best girl
>>286243823I'm with ya. I finally got around to watching this shit and was so disappointed
>>286258221>montage of her worldThat’s a nice headcanon you made up but the hype edit was there to accentuate her positive statement echoing her highs in the series. We know the reality she belongs to (EoE) and she explicitly rejects the fantasies she has access to and says she wants to go live in reality, so the least mental gymnastics read possible is she’s returning… to reality. Just like how instrumentality works in EoE.
>>286258296Imagine shinji waking up to this every day...
>>286258297Why doesn't Anno include EoE in the world she acknowledges? Instead, she never says EoE is a good ending, and her reality, but the opposite?
So, in other words, Kensuke still won.
>>286258204This sounds like an Evageeks cope that completely contradicts the actual lore.
>>286250127How can two girls have a kid?
>>286258327No.
>>286258327Yes.
>>286258320Because he shouldn’t have to spell it out for you like you’re a four year old. She comes from the real, she’s unsatisfied with the real and refuses to take ownership over it, she wishes for fantasy, she realizes fantasy isn’t what it’s cracked up to be, she changes her mind (growth!) and wants to be in reality, she affirms that she can work to be happy in reality, happy music yay
>>286258204>using Nasuverse shit on EvaBro... Eva was a cycling universe. There weren't 'branches.' Anno described it as 'eternal repetition" until Shinji in Final.Nasuverse is a Kaleidoscope. World in Nasuverse is different from World in Eva.
(Brown pedo) K*nsukefag status?
>>286258204BTFOED
>>286258351So you don't have an explanation why Asuka shuns EoE from her personal montage in the ending? Anno is the one who called EoE a bad ending, by the way.
>>286258358Dead and forgotten.
>>286258369>shunsMade up by you
>Justifying the fucking loop bs with "lore"There's was no looping in the original tv show lmao.

Komm Susser Todd literally plays over her lines where she affirms she wants to live in reality btw

>>286258469Cope + seethe :)))))
>>286258423
>>286258386>There's was no looping in the original tv show lmao.Actually Yui brought that concept in EoE. Sadamoto manga also mentions it, and demonstrates it in his finale too. Anno setting of Eva is "eternal repetition," and Final had the (end) actual musical score symbolism. EoE is an old World that ended. When? We don't know it just did. Some souls remained, some souls didn't in the next cycle of the world, Shinji was among the ones that remained, and eventually, recalled everything in Final. He made a new world, a new genesis, where there won't longer be this repetition. That's the finale epilogue world which is a normalass boring world with balding 28 years old Shinji. In that world, Yui and Gengo got excluded because their souls got murked in the Evas.Technically all those characters who appear in the kit are not from he 'definitive' final world.
Apparently this won’t get released online and is only exclusive for today?
>>286258489Non canon timeline “lore”
>>286258503Yeah. It's not meant to be a serious lore thing. Just a fanservice stuff cooked for anni.
>>286258503For now, yes.
>>286258503Good thing we already got the cam then
>>286258532With implications on the prime timeline.
Why do asukafags want Asuka to be paired with another man anyway? Are they actually cucks?
>>286258549
>>286258551They're self-inserters and always were.
>>286258551
>>286258551Shinji is literally me. I am self inserting through him.
>>286258519canon lore. I'm sorry you're so sad you're taking seriously a fanservice anni ki which khara had no intentions to release with the actual story they worked for a decade.Maybe stop giving a shit about pairings? Anno just made fun of you.
>>286258551It’s not about wanting or not wanting, it’s about watching and interpreting the show correctly.
>>286258546>prime timelineThe prime timeline is the world without evas, ayoo. All the rest are failed resets. Yes, that includes rebuilds before the rebuild.
Post toiletsukas
>>286258578Keep coping and projecting your schizophrenia onto Anno lmao
>>286257579Nene will avenge Nino.
>>286258597False. The prime timeline is the original canon, the one that matters.Thanks for separating the two timelines and confirming an optimistic reading on EoE, anno-san
You rike? *raughs*
>"The new short Anime... which lasted about 15 minutes, was released as an 'exclusive video' that only fans who visited the venue could see"
>>286258633There's no original canon. All is part of the same story. Anno doesn't give a rat'ass about it when he ended it in Final.>Thanks for separating the two timelines and confirming an optimistic reading on EoE, anno-sanThings that never happened.
>>286258705Thank you based jap for camming it for us. Loved it.
>>286258612You're the one projecting shit on Anno who already said Rebuild is a sequel to EoE when Final was released.
>>286258718>There’s no original canon>Things that never happenedClinically insane person lol
>>286258718>Things that never happened.Things that literally happened in the last 24 hours. Things that can be proven by watching a 15 minute short called Episode 27
>>286258739Are you ok? Do you need another fanservice non canon comedy kit to make you feel better?
>>286258748>Things that literally happened in the last 24 hours.Where?>By watching a non canon comedy anni special never meant to be released to most of the world which actually doesn't say or confirm thatOk!
>>286258705Anno incoming interview that explains it's wasn't meant to be taken seriously as an omake which nips understand.
>watch video>asushin 'montage' are just cheap skills, one reusing art even>while they animated shit like Asuka flirting with fucking Marikek
>>286258832>The sequence isn't bad but... I want to be happy in my own worldBicurious Asuka is canon

>>286259170Kensuke has nothing to do with NGE Asuka.
>>286259183
So asuka is unironically used goods by everyone?
Where's Mari? I've seen multiple Eva anni and she's the one who barely gets stuff.
>>286259207Most people actually don't know this but the Kensuke cuck also a anti-yuri schizo shitposter. He mostly hangs out in the same threads snacks Usually pops up in
>>286259226Those faces look weird.
>>286259217Apparently in a universe where she's fucking Asuka
>>286259245Maeda stuff gets like that. I like it. Here's new Kaworu for anni.
>>286259217Ntr bros, we won?
>>286259226Mari is a rebuilds piece of shit who doesn't exist
>>286259273But they do rebuild anni art.
>>286259217Hold on explain this lore
>>286259299If there's multiple universes it's the only conclusion.That means there's a universe where you fuck an asuka.
>>286259217>>286259299It's not any lore. There's a live action cut scene for EoE where she fucked Toji, the Kensuke shit is headcanon he won't stop seething over now that he got btfo. She also fucked Mari which is actually canon unlike his Kensuke headcanon
>>286259299Isn't there a clip of EoE played by their VAs, where Asuka is in a sexual relationship with Toji? The only one she's never fucked are Kaworu and Rei. Wouldn't surpise me if she explored prez' body when she slept in her house.
>>286259356>The only one she's never fucked are KaworuJust Rei. She tries to fuck Kaworu in one of the Shinji Ikari Raising Project VN endings. To Kaworu's dismay.
>>286258330I never heard of that so tell me about their cope
>>286259356Damn asuka has game?
>>286257265Nadia + Gunbuster was very successful
>>286243823What's the problem? I'm sure that the not-so-popular anime that was your favorite and much better than evangelion still exists and you can watch it.
>>286240292Hold on shinji isn't gay
