| In this point I want Shinji being happy more than for just one day in his life.Everytime he is happy for a moment its came w,th disaster |
| absolutely wonderful episode, even if it was a little rushed. Shinji just needed someone to like him, and kaworu was perfect for him, too bad they had so little time to be together, and the fact that he is the one to kill kaworu is truly heartbreaking, poor shinji. Even if i don't like so much kaworu, i think he is one of the most important characters of the show, for the consequences it will have in the plot. I felt very bad for asuka, it's painful to see her in that state. Hyuga clearly is in love with misato ''it's ok if i die with you'' |

| Ritsuko's character is so tragic, i feel so sad for her, she is literally completely broken. |
| ''Touch the darkness inside me'' |
| It's pretty incredible that a character who only had roughly 13 minutes of screentime in a 26-episode series would become as incredibly popular as he did. And, honestly, that popularity is very much deserved. Not only does he have arguably the most striking character design in the series, but also works to beautifully articulate the show's core themes. He's essentially an alien who has no experience with the complications and hardships that come with dealing with other people, but is able to astutely assess the human condition as an outside observer. And Hyuga's got that apocalypse rizz, damn. In all seriousness though, I find myself feeling really bad for him on repeat viewings. Misato clearly cares for and respects him a great deal, but their work relationship as well as his own social awkwardness make it hard for him to express how he feels about her. |
Take care of yourself |
| Kaworu, well what a character, he’s only in this episode and appears for about 13 minutes but damn does he leave quite the impression. I feel like people on this forum are just overly judgemental for a non-existent “gay” relationship when I merely saw the guy in question as more of a kindred spirit with Shinji who let’s be honest doesn’t really have anybody that he’d call a proper friend and especially because of the recent developments in his life that have happened entirely out of his control. Think about it for a sec, Misato is too distanced from him and doesn’t really understand him as a person, Rei as he’s found out in the last episode is more than one person and is an experiment under his father’s jurisdiction and doesn’t even know if he would call her a person anymore considering what Ritsuko showed him before, Asuka for the longest time has been at his throat and wants nothing to do with him and essentially has just basically been opposed to him for again the longest time he’s known her for. Kaworu on the other hand? Actually views Shinji as a person and treats him like one instead of somebody trying to protect all of humanity. Yes it turns out that the guy is an angel in the end but say what you want, he at least gave Shinji the light of day so to speak. God it was such an intense episode especially towards the end, just the moment when Shinji in EVA 001 has got Kaworu in his grasp and we are treated to the long still of the EVA just glowering at said boy with the classical music playing in the background? Made for quite a powerful scene before we are eventually shown Kaworu’s head falling down into the water accompanied by the sound of what I can summarise as Shinji’s EVA just squeezing the living hell out of him. When I first saw the scene in question, I thought that my player had stopped working and I was still on a particular frame and there was more to it but nope that’s literally the scene. I had to watch it again to make sure that was the case and indeed it was. This is incredible stuff, certainly incredible stuff here. Even if I’m confused about what’s going on, I’m still enjoying the show as it is. Which is good to know personally. God we are only two episodes left and then the show will be done. |
| KAWORU MY BELOVED RAAAAA |
  me candies:        |
| Was hoping for a gay relationship |
 |
| the king of homosexuals has finally appeared. great episode |
| wtaf is going on at this point. The fifth was such a random character who died in the bloody ep. he was introduced in |
| Asukas depression looks to be beyond recovery at this point. That is hella trauma given by her mother. The cool headed Ritsuko has now acting like a child, who's love struck with same man her mom was obsessed with and now having a mental break down. what kinda rizz does this Gendou guy have man?? Lmaooo i think the author was on crack when writing this shit up. compared to them shinji looking like an adult at this point. which is somthing i never thought i'd say. Lmaoo A lot of that could have avoided if Nerv had only hired afew therapist for there staff. Unit 01 is infact the one that absorbed Yui it seems. or it is Yui her self gigantified with some eva bs. now we got a new fifth children that is just like Rei, but is he's an angel. does that mean Rei is one as well? well fuck she issss. dayummmm, holy aura farm with that brief AT field entrance that aside that nigga acted gay to attract Shinji and do some manipulation to him, And this gay ass shinji is fkn blushed... he didn't blush when kissing asuka. then bro decied to die after seeing it's not Adam in that chamber. so Adam and Lilith. fifth referred humans as lilin, and the crucified angel lookin one is Lilith, is that the mother of humanity? like Adam is the mother of angels? wtf is wrong with this series man |
