Best couple Ray. XD

TBH tho, I wouldn't really care that much. I'm more worried about SJW's and mad feminists going nuts in celebration over it becoming canon.

Personally i don't see it, far too little interaction to make assumptions. That being said though, this reminds me of one of my biggest pet peeves i have when it comes to shipping. That character X spends time with character Y (whether by choice or not) then that means they're into each other, and i see it being applied to both homo and hetero relations.

If they are, they are. If they're not, they're not. Same with Shinji and Kaworu. I like the relationship because I could see them being good counterbalances for each other but I would think a romantic relationship would be pretty low on anyone's list of priorities at this point in the story so I don't expect anything to come from it one way or the other.
Someday I hope that we'll be reunited if that is what's destined to be. Perhaps we'll discover that elusive bible. And then we will finally be free!

But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap.

Also there is nothing wrong with good gay/bi/trans representation since bad gay representation is still a problem in media as gay characters are still way more likely to die on screen than heterosexual ones and don't often get happy endings and at worst can be queer coded as villains.

You'd have more to worry about with Eva being ruined by the influence of FanFic writers than you would SJWs. (Not that I mind FanFics, but the best part of Anno is his subversion of audience expectations, FanFic writers included.) There's much within the original NGE that adheres closely to what is traditionally considered Western Second-Wave Feminism (especially with characters like Misato, Ritsuko, and Maya), so at this point "SJW-esque" themes are already essential to Eva's core appeal.

Again, so what if Mari and Asuka are gay? (For each other.) So what that Maya was gay for Ritsuko? So what that Misato was straight for Kaji?

Just... so what?

Actually, there is a theory that the woman with the glasses is both Asuka and Mari’s mother.

Which makes the ship incest. You nasties. :shifty:

This has been my theory over the past several years and I know I've posted about it a few times here.

What I believe is that Mari actually knew Yui and Gendo and is older than she appears to be. Mari also refers to Gendo as "Gendo-Kun" in 3.0, which implies some sort of bond beyond him just being her (former) boss. Her body has been kept youthful due to the Curse of Eva. The woman in the photo is Mari and she was instrumental in the creation of the Evangelions. This explains how she knew how to engage ZA BEASTO mode in 2.0.

I see this thread is drifting dangerously close to actual serious Evangelion theories, so might as well throw my opinion in, try to prevent us from drifting more off-topic. ^_^

Again, so what if Mari and Asuka are gay?

I actually loved episode 24 (if you know me at all, you know this at least). The reason I loved it so much, was that I could see that Shinji was now a harem protagonist, to a certain extent. I mean, he had Misato, Rei (all 3 of them), Asuka... and I was totally and completely flabbergasted when he seemed to be officially shipped with a male.

I was so happy... I thought it was literally the funniest thing I had ever seen. Ship-tease with 3 girls, and then, finally, stick him with another boy in a fantastic defiance of audience expectations. It made me so, so happy, in so many ways....

I perhaps might prefer if Mari were gay, and not Asuka herself, but that's just me. I think I would enjoy it more that way; find the on-screen dynamics more interesting. (Perhaps a bit more 24-like?)

Does this look romantic to anyone? I don't know why people can't accept this two will never get along.

Putting her whit mari would be no better. Mari just a useless character who there just for a sake of having another female pilot around just to get fans to watch the movie. Her and Asuka don't even seem to like each other. Mari don't have any friends nor care about anyone else either. They only put up whit each other just due to both them being eva pilots. There only been one person who ever had any romantic feelings for Asuka

It may have been in the manga but that as close your gonna get to anyone having any real romantic feeling for Asuka. Kensuke maybe a bit odd but he a lot better and healthy choice then the people everyone else want her to be whit. Asuka is trouble girl that needs help and putting her whit people who are worst than she is wont help her get better. Anyone who watch the series knows kensuke is the type of guy who like to help people, he help Shinji so why not let him help Asuka too?


What is your problem with Shinji? There is little to no evidence that he treats Females with anything but respect (EOE hospital scene not withstanding). Kensuke could be even more depraved than you claim Shinji to be, I mean taking photos of schoolgirls and selling them without concent. You think Shinji is Ghetsis reincarnated or even Frieza?

Personally, I'm totally indifferent. If there is something, I will not care. If there is nothing, I will not mind either. Now if we are in the world of speculation I would infinitely prefer Marisaku (Mari X Sakura) instead of Marisuka. With the little bit of information we have anything can be possible!

Personally, I dont really care all that much about it. I can totally see it happening, at least from Mari's side (then again you can ship Mari with literally anyone and get away with it), and I kinda want Anno to drop hints to it, just to watch the shipping fanbase burn for a while, but other than some interesting character dynamics, which are already present, I dont see it adding anything to or taking anything from the story, other than new running gags for spinoff series like SIRP, so I am ultimately indifferent

^ You’re right about being able to ship Mari with literally anyone. I’m shipping her with the Evangelion units and having a blast doing it. (This is, in part, because I think it’s plausable that Mari might be an Eva unit herself.)

Shipping Mari with Eva Units... thats something not even I have thought of :rofl:

But I think we should take all shippings based on Q with a grain of salt, seeing how basically every second character can be shipped with every second other character (Prime example being Sakura x Rei Q... doesnt make any sense, but works surprisingly well)

Anyway, back to AsuMari. My only real problem with this ship is that it would probably result in dumb and unrelated at best, and counter-productive fanservice at worst, thereby taking away screen time from relevant events.
However, I am totally fine with it in spinoff series, especially in SIRP it would probably be quite fun
