Well, it's sort of mixed up. (pesky 21st century equality and all that)
Rei got dat shield, Shinji spent a while in stasis (and in the real world, the country that the sleeping beauty and her parents reighned would have been devastated by a bloody sucession war in the meantime. Sure, the parents and the rest of the castle got to stay with their daughter/princess, but what about thir country?), but he did do something similar to fighting through a field of thorns to get to her.
I'm not clamoring for poor Shinji to be put in a dress again XD (but it would still be better than nothing, I guess.)
I DO wonder if Final will include a "mighty sword of truth", just for the luz
Another "why didn't anyone ever think of this" fanart idea:
The "episode 20 harem" meets:
The judgement of Paris. Asuka's Venus, Rei's Athena and Misato as Hera (Kaji is obviously Zeus.)
Actually, Misato and Asuka could both be Venus, depending on how you interpret Venus, but I guess Misato gets to be Hera by virtue of being the oldest one.
