| I seriously cannot understand people who think Asuka and Shinji has ended up together, they think after the last scene, they will reconcile with each other. Some think they may help each other grow since they are foils for each other. It's because of their dysfunctional friendship, I don't think any romantic relationship will work out after the End of Evangelion. They brought out the worst things in each other at the same time, there is nothing in Evangelion that they can bring out the best in each other especially after the End of Evangelion. Imagine if people started thinking that Guts and Griffith in Berserk will become good friends especially after nightmare inducing event called Eclipse, that's how stupid this idea that Asuka and Shinji will end up together after the final scene in End of Evangelion. Honestly, only one who had any chance having romantic relationship with Shinji was Kaworu but too bad, he died very early at his own love interest. |
| Shippers do their stuffs, anyway. Cope. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| rebuilds say otherwise but ye for main timeline, that should be common knowledge |

| People like the idea of Asuka x Shinji because they are essentially the same person. The only difference between them is that Asuka lashes outwards and Shinji retreats inwards. Other than that they’re both hedgehogs who suffer from the same abandonment insecurities and struggle to get close to others. Only once they do finally find someone, they latch on to them like a parasite demanding salvation via their companionship. More than anything though, they both hate themselves. That’s why as they are they can never truly end up together. They cannot accept the flaws in each other that remind them of themselves. That’s why I think it’s really fitting that these two are the only ones who survive instrumentality. A big part of Eva is about accepting who you are and now Shinji must live in a world where the only other person is basically an alternate version of himself.  But I cannot really judge the shippers too much. After all, Shinji truly falling in love with Asuka would be a way to show that he has come to love himself as well, and that’s a nice thought. But Shinji ending up with anyone kind of undermines a number of things I think Eva is trying to say and I would much rather him to take charge of his own destiny alone. But that’s just me. If he gotta be with someone, at least Mari is nice. |

| As someone whose only experience with Evangelion is the original series + EoE, I legit don't get why people even call Asuka a tsundere, since that term implies she has feelings for Shinji that she's concealing under her rudeness. Yeah, uh... What exactly implies she likes Shinji romantically? And that's not a rhetorical question making fun of what I perceive to be "bad" chemistry, it's a literal question about what I would say is ZERO romantic chemistry, implied or otherwise As far as I see it, it's just another example of media fans seeing a male and female character of roughly the same age and saying that they MUST be romantically involved for some reason... even though, canonically, there's WAY more evidence for Kaworu or Misato as Shinji's love-interest |
My greatest contribution to this website:  |
| Yeah, the only character Shinji has any romantic (as in emotional instead of purely sexual) interest in the original show and EoE is Kaworu, but shippers gonna ship and Rei and Asuka are the OG waifus. |
 |
| Totally agreed. And there are still people who call Asuka a tsundere. |
| It’s pretty obvious the real ship is Misato x Shinji. Asuka is toxic af, and you never stick your dick in crazy. |
| ggsksksks they give these fun siblings incesty vibes not really shoujo romance vibes .  |
  |
| what sane person ships this lol, you're talking about people that are just weird |
| good opinions on anything, block = I own you |
| That's part of the point of the film. They bring out the worst in each other. |
Take care of yourself |
| i'm a asuka x kaji kinda guy |
 |
| If you don’t like AsukaxShinji, that’s fine, but AsukaxKaji and MisatoxShinji is just disgusting. Asuka and Shinji do have a toxic dynamic, but that’s because of the awful lives they had and the things they are put through. In the end they are the only ones that will truly understand the trauma eachother went through. |
| Exactly. They bring out the worst in one another, and that's part of the film's point. |
Take care of yourself |
