Because one tends to reject or remain ignorant of the least desirable aspects of one's personality". Another episode that is relatively light on Asuka-Shinji. ", Asuka: "You think you understand me? Perhaps most pivotal, Asuka learns, while she and the other pilot lies in wait for Bardiel, that Shinji still does not know that Toji is the pilot of Eva-03. Shinji, unable to understand others, masks his frustration and despair with a "layer" of anger, not unlike Asuka herself does. Thus it is up to the viewer to piece together their motivations from the unspoken or implied aspects of their actions. Some fans believe that the Asuka in Episode 26' is not real, and is instead a fake or a creation of Shinji's mind. Asuka tries to make up for the inconvenience by looking for Shinji's attention, making fun of him for having issues at school (she has already completed university studies) and provoking him with her swimsuit, as she explains to him the basic concept of thermal expansion. Being unable to connect to Shinji will be a big contributor in Asuka's ensuing downward spiral as well as Shinji feeling isolated and alone, ultimately leading to him failing to stop Third Impact and entering Instrumentality. The implication here is, once again, Asuka's need for someone to open up to and to confide in. This could have been made by Touji and/or Kensuke poking fun at the "married couple" as they do early in other episodes, with Asuka taking notice of it and scribbling over it, or Asuka simply drew this herself, only to immediately regret it, and try to erase it, and calling herself an idiot for doing so, in her usual prideful tsundere manner, with her classmates also taking notice later. Even assuming she was spiteful of Kaji, one doesn't understand the real underlying motive. And he's an idiot to boot. Shinji then approached her and spoke to her, begging her to help him. Asuka is demanding here that Shinji return her attempts at affection, she demands reciprocity, even if she also unwilling to give it back herself. In what is one of the most recognizable moments of the episode, Asuka forces Shinji to join her in her mech (while also forcing him to wear her plugsuit), to fight the angel, in order to further prove to him her skill. Shinji's overwhelmed and begs the unconscious Asuka to help him. While she might have put her mind to pursuing him, her heart is not truly in it, and as such the happiness she shows towards him is, and always has been, to an extent, forced. Asuka tries to deceive Shinji as to the reason why she kisses him and yet at the same time she hopes, deep down, that he is able to realize her deception and break through her barriers. The opening scene of the episode introduces Asuka as being in a very volatile mood. In effect, Asuka is not only lamenting that Shinji won't support her and hold her during the kiss, but that he didn't even at least give her affection through sex. The show does not drop their relationship however, and keeps analyzing what went wrong or right with both, and why. This isn't the only complaint surrounding the new Netflix release of Evangelion. This article will also take into consideration some correlation between Asuka's feelings for Shinji and her feelings for Kaji. There is evidence that that Asuka made the conscious decision to live as an individual and returned from Instrumentality, similarly to Shinji, and has even chosen to lay down at his side. You never say anything, and you expect me to understand you, when you don't even talk at all? He does not understand that people have their own insecurities and emotional needs. They are quarreling like a married couple. He begs and pleads with her to wake up and say . You think you can help me? The penguin is having a rough time of it with this Katsuragi-prepared meal. The scene in question is referenced by the mind-violation sequence in ep.22 (Asuka vs Arael), with the strong implication that Asuka was in need of Shinji's support and help due to feeling lonely and (potentially) anxious for the battle of the next day. on MyAnimeList, and join in the discussion on the largest online anime and manga database in the world! What both cases also have in common, is that Shinji was by all means more or less oblivious to the full extend of the harm these moments did to Asuka. If anyone made Asuka cry it was Misato. He's filled with self-loathing after masturbating to the sight of a naked Asuka, but he can't help it. I thought that Asuka would occupy the position of an "idol" in the Eva world, and that [Asuka and] Shinji should be just like the relationship between Nadia and Jean." The situation is used to offer us additional insight on Asuka's bossy behavior and reckless attitude, which leads the three the wrong way, and on Asuka's dislike of Rei. In the last part of the episode Asuka volunteers to fight the angel (Sandalphon) in a volcano, winning the confrontation but losing the safety cables that kept her from falling deeper in the lava. It is in fact his cluelessness that becomes the main theme of the episode. Shinji could be that person, but Asuka can't seem to accept it. Mdds melrose foxxx gets big white cock in her tight ebony pussy. During instrumentality, everybody is formed into one being, allowing people to look into the minds of others, and during this time, Asuka looks into Shinji's mind and learns what he did in the hospital (it's also during this time that she learns that he actually does have feelings for her, and he just did not know how to communicate it.) Asuka's arrogant, bossy and competitive personality introduced under these circumstances, will prove to be one of the biggest hurdles in their relationship, while, at the same time, their combined victory hints at the potential for them to reach harmony and stability. If Shinji was able to get to the Eva early, it is entirely possible he and Asuka could have defeated the MP Evas. It is at that point that Shinji, without hesitation, comes to her rescue in Eva-01, despite it not being fitted with protective equipment, and grabs Eva-02 before it can drift away. She was willing to open up to him, only to be hurt in return. However, Anno's friend instead grew cold, and muttered Asuka's line from the EoE draft almost verbatim. This is also supported in a more subtextual manner via clever use of cuts during important moments to establish a parallel between the Shinji/Asuka relationship and that of Misato and Kaji. Ritsuko uses the same euphemism as Asuka: "Is that why you slept with him?" After hinting at them being alone for the night, Asuka, without giving Shinji the opportunity to respond, proceeds to take her futon away from the living room bringing it to Misato's room and shutting the door. The irony is that it's clear that as 14 year old teenagers without a purpose in life or anyone to care for them, they're both sexually and romantically attracted to each other. Likely implying her acceptance and wish to make peace with him and to forget, at least temporarily, about their past issues.

During the later stages of the episode, in her fight against the MPEs, Asuka, who found in her mother's soul the support she needed to recover, makes a comment about Shinji's absence: "Jeez! Shinji, Rei, Asuka, and Misato having emotional breakdowns over their perceived flaws is absolutely heartwrenching to watch. She even reacts jokingly to Asuka getting defensive over Shinji, which in the old ADV dub gave birth to the famous "are you riding his baloney poney?" He goes to the NERV hospital to see a comatose Asuka, pleading for her to help him. Shortly before being employed Shinji asks Asuka the reason why she pilots. Shinji enjoys it, as it allows him to see the stars, but Asuka finds it unpleasant. It also adds more lines for Asuka bemoaning Shinji and makes this context even clearer by adding additional past scenes with Asuka and Shinji, like him rescuing her in Episode 10. Asuka pretends to be fine, leaving Shinji alone in the living room. Bmo bubble gay. Ogata believes this scene was how Anno wanted to "convey different ways how to bring feelings of love to a conclusion that exist in reality. In a way she seems to be having fun. The episode opens with a flashback, focused on Asuka and Kaji, before they get to Japan. Asuka is equally fragile after she inflicts harm on herself and is in the hospital for observation. What is also notable is that he appears to be at least somewhat oblivious to how deeply he hurt her during their last confrontation. In the fight Asuka puts herself in danger, to protect Shinji, returning him the favor from the previous fight. Interestingly, their roles are reversed as Asuka is the one that provokes and initiates the kiss, but it is Kaji that kisses a self-castigating Misato. Shinji believes that, if Asuka does not actively explain him everything she feels, he cannot understand her. Shinji's reaction isn't particularly amusing for Asuka, as he doesn't quite know what to say and blushes, prompting Asuka to call him a "boring little boy". As for how Ogata should play Shinji Anno asks her to not play Shinji: ". However, it is the evidence presented in the show that makes it clear that they are the show's primary relationship. Shinji: "There's no way I could understand you. "Why does Asuka want to kiss Shinji? [11][12], The ambivalence and duality in this scene represent the fact that they are not yet completely healthy and changed, but are beginning to open themselves to this change. While the Angels' uncanny designs and movements fit the tone of the story well, they are not really the most personalized characters in the show. As stated above, there is no closure such as them accepting their feelings and acknowledging them to each other and possibly to others as well. It should be remembered that Asuka, at this point in time, is feeling especially rejected and ignored by Kaji and sees in Shinji someone who cares about her; a potential replacement for her ex-guardian. Rei fans must not be pleased. Their goals are vague, but it is implied that they are trying to receive, the First Angel, Adam. Here it is Asuka to fully comprehend Shinji's nature. What did Shinji do to Asuka in the hospital? In cinematography, such a shot reverse shot technique is often used to imply a disconnect between two characters. She then compares said door to the "unbreakable Walls of Jericho", ordering Shinji not to enter. As Misato is accompanying Shinji home, he expresses to her how he didn't enjoy being praised due to Asuka's angry reaction, showing concern for her. The distress from this revelation has a serious impact on Asuka's already severely weakened psyche and it is what finally pushes her completely over the edge; as the narrative finally cuts to the present, she has been on the run from home for seven days and seen lying in a bathtub in the ruins of a house, obviously physically weakened and completely sapped of the will to live as Section 2 finally finds her. In many cases the clues to unraveling a scene can only be found in conjunction with other scenes, as well as the larger narrative and thematic context of the show. When they receive a phone call at home, Asuka sulks and refuses to pick it up, suspecting it could be her ex-guardian wanting to talk to Misato (when Misato quietly comments that it is not very likely, it visibly arouses Asuka's curiosity, indicating that she is either oblivious to or in denial (or possibly both) about Kaji's absence and the implications of said absence). It was fully produced, but ultimately unused in End of Evangelion, in favor of Komm, ssser Tod. Nonetheless, Eva uses this to further examine just what kept both characters from attaining happiness. While beginning with the initial confrontation of Shinji with the comatose Asuka, the scene diverges with Shinji shouting the Asuka he wants to protect isn't the girl lying before him and Asuka awakening to attempt to strangle him (reminiscent of an attempted strangling of Asuka by her mother shortly before her suicide). (Topic ID: 530084) Asuka repeats her insistence that Shinji is just lying, but her despondent facial expression betrays that she on some level knows that what he is saying is true. She tries to be at her best in order to appeal to him, but in truth she feels hurt and rejected. The alternate universe shown in this episode makes use of traditional anime school setting tropes, with Asuka presented as Shinji's childhood friend, a setting later recycled in spin-offs such as [Days] and Shinji Ikari Raising Project. After the kiss, Asuka states: "I did it just to kill time." Visually the exchange also says a lot; Asuka's face is livid with anger and disgust with Shinji, yet they are in a very intimate situation, being naked in a bed together. You can do anything you like to my body, as you did at that time.". Interestingly, Rei picks up on the fact Asuka is envious of Shinji attaining a higher synch score. Asuka briefly appears during Rei's contamination scene, the subject of Rei's jealousy due to the attention Shinji pays her by visiting her at the hospital. Initially mistaking Toji as the third pilot, Asuka then proceeds to express disappointment at the thought of someone as unremarkable as Shinji having being chosen as one; a very underwhelming first impression. It is interesting that Yui waited until Asuka's apparent death to move Eva 01. "All thumbs. Asuka has a revelation: the voice she is hearing is her dead mother's soul residing within her Evangelion. Shinji masturbates to the sight of a naked Asuka, and is filled with self-loathing over his deed. They had inserted some references to Eva and particularly End of Evangelion in the film.
