No vote from me. It's like choosing between a douche, a turd sandwich, and, um... um... a prophylactic.

Naw, she was just a lunatic who screamed. That's completely different.

Is it actually schizophrenia if your "dead" mother really is talking to you?

Well, you never know... Schizophrenics might actually have a sense that is either absent or latent in most of us, and the 'hearing things' is an effect of this that essentially drives them mad. See, it's the hearing things that causes the madness, not the other way around. Then, I don't know any schizophrenics, so this is just me gushing my nonsensical pet theories.

Hearing her 'dead' mother or not, Asuka really WAS a raging lunatic in #25'. I mean, cripes, just look at some of those faces she makes. And if pre-3I Instrumentality was any indication, she makes the same kinds of faces during sex. Scary.

Seriously PO'd because she'd been dumped in the middle of all this by baka-Shinji - and then it gets worse. I can understand that in both cases.

Hey, it's not like Asuka didn't bring a lot of it upon herself. And how much of a baka can Shinji be if Asuka herself has the hots for him? She must be a baka for liking him.

And about Shinji -- hey, it's not like he WANTED that bout of pre-3I Instrumentality. All he wanted were Asuka's boobies.

Shinji is rather the last out of a field of exactly one... And we the viewers have more information than she does about his one act of volition during 25'

He seemed less happy about the prospect when rather literally applied back in ep#8 :wink:

Whaaaaat? Asuka knows far more than we do. Her mind gets connected to his, for crissake.

Shinji is clearly connected to the minds of Asuka, Misato, etc., at that point. If he isn't -- then explain how he is able to see Misato's boink-a-thon with Kaji.

An awful lot of the stuff in EoE loses its significance if you go by the interpretation, "Oh, it's all in Shinji's head." Might be 'in his head', in a sense -- because the minds of these other people are CONNECTED TO HIS.

yeah it makes sense..it can't be all in Shinji's mind..and i read carefully lines of Misato.."yes,this is me..this is me from a reflection in your mind warping..this is a part of me you didn't know..the truth can be painful..but yuo wanted to know."
these lines surely indicate something..

so..they are the minds of others in his mind?
that would explain Asuka's expression once she found out about what he did, as well as not being there for her in the end

Shinji's position in Instrumentality essentially makes him the conscious hub of human existence.
