None of us has a satisfying and convincing excuse about what kind of person Asuka is. As we know her, she defines the raw anti-heroine who isn't meant to be a likable character, even when there are moments where she shows her biggest strenghts as much as, dare I say, her biggest weaknesses. As much as she can succeed, as much she can fail.
I would be a bigger idiot than she would say idiot to me if I hope from her, that she would ever have someone, to who she can be nicer than usual.
She has potential for many things than just piloting Eva, being a warrioress and being gifted and educated. But it goes sadly to waste by everything what happens in Eva.
I feel and think many things about her, whether I feel angry, bad and unsure about her or better than that. I can only accept her as who and how she is and live with that and I don't have the right to want from her, that she realises my views on her.
Nothing can stop her from what she wants or does and it has always consequences for her and others.
Even the Punisher for an example, isn't different from her even if they are essentially different characters, though the similarities are there, whether about their experiences, their trauma, their talent in warfare, or that they have a habit for having a skull on their clothes that embodies who they are and what they can never be.
Why else would any Marvel character mostly despise the Punisher whether villain or hero? The same applies for Asuka.
I carry out things right to the end. No. Matter. What.
