Why is Asuka so nice to Hikari?

Postby PurpleandRed » Tue Aug 18, 2015 12:39 pm

I don't hate Hikari but I don't like using her name so I use whatsherface instead sometimes. Miss Goody-two-shoes is always so nice to her in the anime and hardly ever points out faults from her. but a little mean in the manga and I recall her showing her boobs to Kaji, which was disagreeable. If she were real, I would worry if she even likes me. Because she's so mean to everybody and the mean girl likes to act like a goody two-shoes to Hikari, which is unbalanced to me.

Excuse me, but there's a lot of questions in this series. But people hardly talked about why Asuka may like Hikari and instead, thinking that she's too unfriendly to make friends with. I would make friends with her for her relationship to Hikari. But I would knock her out for being a jerk to me but not whatsherface!!!

Did Asuka even do any other kindness in the Rebuild movies besides making a cookout for whatshername after she shared lunch with her (and there is a hint of freaking friendship with them in there, too, after I was told that she didn't make friends with her :fume:)

Understatement of the year.

I think she was friends with Hikari simply because whatsherface (I might call Hikari that from now on) was Class Rep. In addition, Asuka seemed to be friends with other girls at school but we, the three stooges, and Rei never met them.

Asuka never made friends, nobody wanted to make friends with her and thus, she doesn't know them well enough to be fighting with them. And the three stooges is not a phrase.
Asuka, you're not going to have any children.

In other words, "disagreeable" was the understatement.

In other words, not we, not the three stooges (Shinji, Touji and Kensuke), nor Rei are shown meeting other girls. (The three stooges is a perfectly respectable term)

The disagreeable part makes it sound too innocuous.

Did you see all those classmates she was talking and interacting with in Episode 9? Sorry about the three stooges thing. It's just a common nickname in the community for Shinji, Toji, and Kensuke.

The three stooges has its origin in a phrase used by Asuka in episode 18 if I recall correctly.

Platinum edition, ep 18 wrote:Shinji:
What happened? You left before me, but you're awfully late.

TOJI:
What, no marital spat today?

Asuka:
I just didn't want to see your ugly faces! You three damn stooges!
Asuka:
This is about Suzuhara, isn't it?

HIKARI:
Yes. You could tell?

Asuka:
It's obvious. The three stooges are about the only ones who don't see it.

An imaginary photo of the main cast from Instrumentality? Was that supposed to be rhetorical?

Asuka throwin' up the horns (new headcannon: she got her degree at Texas A&M) while Hikari looks stoned as hell. Kaji is grimacing (is he constipated?). Aoba is peepin' on Maya. A doofus arranged the picture, because he didn't put all the short folks in the front (and I bet Misato looks as irked as she does because this is the third or fourth take).

No reason, I don't really see your point. I mean the only main character(s) missing besides Gendo for obvious reasons, is Kaworu or "the one episode wonder" and Fuyutsuki (You can see Rei's hair behind Shinji and between him and Aoba).

She could've chosen not to be apart of it. that and the fact that she looks rather pleased to be with everyone

It's fun. She's a sociable person, but she chose to be a part of it because maybe she likes get-togethers.

How can one be sociable and not have friends?

Aoba is arguably more anti-social/misanthropic than Asuka (though certainly more friendly and professional). Yet there he is perving it up with Maya and Ritsuko
(I thought he was asexual?).

That's because she's not really mean to anyone. Shinji frustrates her, she's jealous of Misato, and Rei freaks her out, but apart from being arrogant and disdainful toward her "lessers" -- i.e., anyone who's not an adult -- she's actually perfectly pleasant to be around.

Excuse me, but there's a lot of questions in this series. But people hardly talked about why Asuka may like Hikari and instead, thinking that she's too unfriendly to make friends with. I would make friends with her for her relationship to Hikari. But I would knock her out for being a jerk to me but not whatsherface!!!


I've never encountered anyone who had such an unpleasant attitude toward Hikari.

Yes, I know. You thought it would be something about Asuka. You're such idiots.
