Though I'm not going to disagree with the idea that the angels might not be socialized and may be children themselves with Arael I feel like its more a child having a tantrum because he only goes for Asuka's darker memories not her happy ones and its always felt strange to me like it has malice but...

@C.T.1290: Asuka needed to admit her faults, even if she seemed to when she said "This isn't the real me."

Wow, some of these people are against others hate for Eva. You got to learn to respect others' opinions.

Oh okay, well, either she hid that bag behind her back or it was a continuity error.

In episode 12, she takes out a Tokyo Gourmet book, but for what reason would she be carrying it around for when I'm sure she didn't know she was going out for dinner? She appeared to be taking it out of her pocket, but it wasn't visible anyway before, I would assume it is too big to fit in her pocke...

Because she shielded Shinji, she could've died from that. She needs to learn that how Shinji saved her from the volcano was a one time thing and when Shinji told her to stop, she stubbornly refused to and didn't listen or say anything! Even Shinji smiled when she said now we are even, why would that...

It is stated that people can return from instrumentality; it is a matter of debate how far back souls can survive from to enter into instrumentality from which they can then return. Kaji is therefore the least certain of those; Kyoko's soul was in Eva-02, and so was clearly around at the critical t...

How did Kyoko and Kaji come back to life? I thought they were dead, why are they there? Is it the ghost thing?

Semi-related; I used to chat with a guy that swore by his Asuka x friggin Arael pairing, and he was dead serious. It struck me as incredibly absurd and a just a lil' bit disturbing, but he was hellbent on convincing me otherwise. From what I recall, he basically pitched it as "the only charact...

I do not thing she was reborn, nor that she lost her memories, as Shinji clearly seems to remember Asuka well. Why would she have lost her memory suddenly? Because she probably died in that fight with the MPE's so since she's reincarnated, she probably doesn't remember anything about her former lif...

Depends on if you mean the original series, or EoE. I think EoE left that completely open to the audience, not giving any conclusions. Well, I mean Asuka in general, in my opinion, she never got to hide and get rid of her past. Since she was probably 'reborn' in EOE, she probably has no memories of...

yeah, i think that's what he meant.

Oh..

Well, you could argue that she had the toughest past of the pilots, but Shinji comes very close. I know very little on Suzuhara, and Rei has no past at all. But her attitude on the field makes her seem much more stable, although we know this is probably false. I feel that a lot of people warmed up ...

Bite your tongue, fool. As to the OP, I love the idea of Mari/Kaworu. Mari would be completely immune to Kaworu's "I am an Angel here to CRUSH YOUR SOUL" bullshit, and seeing him taken completely off-balance like that would be delightful. Bite your tongue and fool? You're just defending t...

Well, I also have a hard time imagining that anyone above the age of eight would respond to every provocation thrown at them. It's all a matter of perspective, my friend. I do admit, though, that I let myself be pushed away in the end, but for reasons unrelated to our person in question. When I did...

Within the boundaries of politeness, I can only say that it does require a specific type of person to deal with someone like Asuka. You certainly do have to endure and wait out the initial hostility, but I've always considered endurance a virtue. Might also be a case of two leftovers finding some c...

Okay let's do this, can any of you guys tell me what teenager you've seen that wanted to be an adult in the way Asuka was and treated people the way she treats Shinji? How so? What did they do? What did they say? Were they from another country other than America? Why were they acting this way? How d...

It's really weird to me that someone who admits she's sheltered keeps making general statements about how teenagers act, and keeps blowing off input from other people who are not sheltered and have both been and interacted with teenagers at various points in their lives. People are giving you contr...
