Ok, now you might think it’s weird for me to come up with this topic after all the posts I made about her, but hear me out a minute. Asuka had been through some things no four year old child should have to go through, even at fourteen years of age. All the things NERV had dealt her with is just plai...

At least Mari wasn’t cloned like how Asuka was, so her feelings towards Shinji were probably more genuine instead of being programmed like the Ayanami and Shikinami series.

I’m pretty sure Anno sank AsuShin with the last Rebuild movie.

To answer OP's question, it felt forced since they barely interacted. The whole "world reset" ending was lazy. Well, I’m pretty sure that Anno intended to have Mari be more or less a replacement for Asuka. I think she’s the more human aspect of Asuka, something like a Soryu 2.0 of sorts. ...

It was a pretty interesting idea of Asuka turning into a werewolf. I wonder how the series would have turned out if they kept that idea. As for Rebuilds, I don’t think I can consider Shikinami as Asuka since she’s not really her. Not the original like Soryu was. To me, Soryu will always be the one t...

So we know that Asuka being a clone is more exclusive for the Rebuild tetralogy, but I have recently been wondering if it was something Anno had thought of during the production of the original series. What would that have been like if it was the case? Would that have change some things in the tv se...

Alright, so I got this question that’s been bugging me a little, who was the original Shikinami really? Was she a normal human girl with actual parents, basically the NTE version of Asuka Soryu? Or was she actually the first bioengineered clone to be created, resulting the mass production of the Shi...

I kind of feel that Asuka’s role was taken over by Mari, like she was meant to be her replacement. Like they took some good aspects from Soryu and placed them in Mari, while they took the more negative ones to place them in the Shikinami type. If we take Mari and Shikinami and put them together, we ...

The rebuilds are not a replacement, as they diverge in significant ways that many agree don't make as much sense without having seen the original. Evangelion is a bit of an unconventional franchise because its alternate versions aren't cut and dry as to their differences or even their intent. Ultim...

I'm a fan of the old franchise (2001 - 2011), not so much 343i's stuff, I just find their entire approach to it intolerable and disingenuine, that rowdy rough environment that crafted the old Halo's, that development team was lightning in a bottle, people who understood what they were doing and und...

Asuka wasn’t nearly as well handled as she was in her transition to NTE. Asuka literally went from the co-protagonist in EOE and most of NGE to a mere side character with barely any screentime or meat behind her story. I would like to point out that the character here isn’t really Asuka at all. Not...

Asuka is unable to move on, which is influenced by the "curse" of Eva, but also her mixed feelings towards Shinji. Or it could be part of her programming as a clone, much similar to Rei. I guess Gendo wanted to make clones to screw over Shinji’s mind(and to use them as his tools for Instr...

Well, she was the only one available, so Shinji came to her out of desperation, and maybe a little bit of lust. And Asuka rightfully called him out for it, although she’s not without blame either, since she was lusting after Kaji at the time to fulfill her desires to be more “grown up”. But I think ...

I’m not sure if she would forgive him, per se. It would take some time for them to make amends for each other’s actions, and it would take them a ton of therapy to resolve their issues. But give them enough time (since they’re both still fourteen), they might find some ways to talk it out, then mayb...

I just watched Transformers: Rise of the Beasts tonight. And I’d say it’s a pretty good film, on par with Bumblebee.

I think that one is just you having a personal hangup about clones being somehow not human. Well, I’m just so used to Asuka being a normal human being instead being created as a product of science, though that’s just me. And another sad part is the fact that she was brought into this world without ...

I don’t know why they didn’t keep Soryu in Rebuild the same way they kept Shinji, Misato, Rei, etc. Instead, they chose to replace her with a different character entirely, who is just a carbon copy(literally in this narrative). Shikinami looks like Soryu, acts a bit like her. But to me, she’s not re...

Asuka needs more then love and care, she needs a better childhood, better friends, and a better life. So many of her problems come from her childhood trauma and using piloting as her coping mechanism. True. But that’s not saying that Asuka couldn’t get better after the events of the Third Impact. G...

So basically, that’s saying that Evangelion is what the fans decide? One of the things about the open endings of End of Eva and Rebuild is that anything can happen afterwards, regardless of what some people would think. And that the characters’ characteristics is not entirely what we’ve seen in the ...

Happy birthday Sachi!

What’s wrong with Asuka?
