Fuyutsuki's office
Why doesn't Fuyutsuki have an office as Gendō? What I mean is that he always stands behind Gendō as if he has nowhere else to go, which is puzzling for a high official in an organization.

On TV shows, out of sight = out of mind for the viewers. It's the same reason that Captain Picard and Commander Riker are always on the bridge at the same time on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
That, and the show uses Fuyutsuki for bits of exposition. Of course, that's because Gendo never says anything and Misato doesn't know WTF is going on behind the scenes for most of the series so it's pretty much by default.

Fuyutsuki also doesn't have knees. Think about it dude, you never see him sit down. His entire lower body is a primitive cybernetic construct which can't actuate such a complex motion.
Also, is it just me or did you use to have only one "l" in your name?

Nothing is so valuable that it need not be started afresh, nothing is so rich that it need not be enriched constantly.

You see him sitting on the trains in #11 and #17, at the very least.

Fuyu and Gendo are in their usual places; Fuyu just happens to be standing in a bucket of water as well.
And a couple of additions to the "spot Fuyutsuki sitting" scavenger hunt:
- #15: when he's with Gendo on the helicopter
- a few times in the #21 flashbacks (won't note them individually, since they might "not count")
- #21 present-day, when he's bound to a chair for the Seele interrogation
Mr. Tines: I don't recall seeing a Nerv office for Fuyutsuki in #21.
NGE2 doesn't even give him his own office. In the game, "Gendo's" office is actually shared by both commanding officers. Though I wonder how Fuyutsuki gets any work done without his own desk. Maybe he does have one, but it can retract into the floor so Gendo can look more ominous whenever other people come to visit... [/not sure if serious]

No, but he does have one in the university, pre-2I.

r0ach: The office, and when he's drinking with the other teacher, and when he's tending that ghetto post-2I infirmary.
Yeah, but... that's not what Al(l)eman was asking about.

I'm sure he has one somewhere for when Gendo's brooding gets to be a bit too much and he has to do all that bothersome bookkeeping crap. It just isn't important because he isn't important to the story, and nobody ever goes to visit him there for any reason that Anno felt like putting to film.

Re: Fuyutsuki's office
Not odd at all, he's second in command and has to be right there if Gendo takes off. There's no chair because standing like a sentry is a cooler visual.

Fuyutsuki not having his own office would make sense of a lot of things I never really questioned. Fuyutsuki can be periodically seen doing all manner of things beside Gendo's desk that I would think he'd do more naturally in an office of his own if he had one. He often seems to just be lounging around at the commander's desk. Even the Vice President of the US is not supposed to hang out in the Oval Office as much as Fuyutsuki does in Gendo's. It would also say a lot about their relationship, because of how peculiar it is. As I write more about them in a fic I'm doing I notice how much they often seem like an old married couple but this really takes the cake .

Do you feel this thread would be more suitable for "Chit-Chat"?
Not that I'm not a little curious as to where his normal office could be.........oOh who am I kidding? this affects everything
