Best scene ever. It further solidifies the fact that Kaworu is truly Shinji's soulmate because he appeared in front of him during Instrumentality (just like everyone else saw their loved person before them: Hyuga saw Misato, Maya saw Ritsuko etc) and it shows us that only Kaworu coulda have such a calming effect on Shinji that even in a moment like this Shinji can feel blissful. Shinji obviously LOVES him to the point that he cries tears of both joy and sadness upon seeing Kaworu's face again and he's not afraid of him at all, whereas with giant Rei he was terrified. Not only that but this scene is obviously also a metaphor for sexual intercourse. Yeah... I don't think I need to add anything else to that LMAO. The point is that only Kaworu ever managed to reach deep into Shinji's whole persona and to try to understand him- no one did that for him before and that is why Shinji sees Kaworu, his most loved person, in a moment like this
Kaworu has penetrated into Shinji's most sacred region, his AT field. He weakened Shinji's AT field and penetrated full-force on his EVA. As Shinji's synchronization rate is off chart, he'll fell whatever is happening to his EVA, which is why he melted and smiled as Kaworu penetrated him with the Lance of Longinus.
It wasn't Yui, it was Rei who called Kaworu. She's the one who absorbed the Adam embryo (which contained Kaworu/Adam's soul) combining both Lilith and Adam, which initiated the Third Impact
Well Rei calling Dad to take care of baby lol. Adam and Lilith do have parental symbolism. Not that denies the soulmate allegations between Kaworu and Shinji either. Both exist simultaneously.The show is complex which is why I like it.
Lmaooo fr widnsksbok crying only kowaru can get Shinji to do anything it's funny AF😭 like i don't have anything against the ship I just think it's really really funny how down bad kowaru is and Shinji but Shinji doesn't even realize it
That's literally what happened, otherwise, the Third Impact would've probably happened as Seelee wanted, instead of giving humanity the chance to come back lmao
There is one downside to the "Asuka x Shinji" fanfic (Advice and Trust) I'm reading. This ship likely won't happen. It's a shame. They're very beautiful together. I try to cope with the absence of their ship by reminding myself that in the game "Raising Shinji Project", you have to push everyone in Shinji's life away from him in order to get the human and the angel together. I love them together, but Ikari shouldn't be put through toxity for the sake of shipping. I'll probably seek for a "Kaworu x Shinji" fanfic afterwards. Although, I hope the fanfic writer remembers he's not human. The reason I liked Rei and Kaworu so much is because they accepted they weren't human. They would bring the apocalypse, but that didn't mean they had to do it by SEELE or Gendo's terms. Just have him give up on Impact so easily when it's his birth programming would be boring.
@@JabamiLaini recommend "tsubasa (rewrite of evangelion)" found on ao3. Its really good and does some intresting things with mari, asuka and rei as well (mari in particular is like a different character from the rebuilds). Although do be warned that it will make you slowly hate Misato and Kaji through out the story ( they're still well written and true to thier character. its just that they are far more self-destructive and depraved although misato seems to spiral down into that depravity instead of already being that way like kaji is). The kawoshin relationship is really well done and explores the timeloop concept from the rebuilds and the toll it takes on kaworu.
Yeah absolutely, i mean the anime came out in the 1970's so they kinda could not make it super obvious but everything that is shown from their interaction brings so much more emotion out of shinji than any of the girls
Shinji "opening up" for Kaworu pretty much confirms it's canon to me. We know that the mecha is a metaphor for the womb, and that him being unable to 'pilot' i.e. penetrate the Eva (also a metaphor of Adam - the perfect and ideal masculine man) shows he is unable to accept himself or his effeminacy. The only reason he does this is to impress his father who sets these unrealistic expectations and burdens upon him. He is shown in the TV series and comics to be in the denial - even outwardly homophobic, but blushes and shows overt interest in other males. When he is with Kaworu, he expresses far more emotion in such a short span than what he does with Misato, Asuka, Rei or any woman in the show. He outwardly expresses his love numerous times. Hell even in the games he kisses Kaworu and they flirt while doing makeup together. It's canon. It's 2024 and I don't get all the people who deny it and say it's a platonic bros thing or metaphoric. They love each other. Let Shinji have his boyfriend ffs.
любовь - это когда он из твоего милого ангелочка превратился в сотканного из призрачного белого света ангела смерти размером с полпланеты, а ты все равно рад его видеть
Kaworu's story was a tragic one, but somehow it got an happy ending along with Rei. I think he wanted to die, because he wanted Shinji to be the one to bring Impact, but out of his own free will. So, he chose to lower his AT field (his body) so he could unite with Rei and wait for Shinji to come for him. He's not human. He doesn't understand the Impact will not help him. All he understands, is that they can be the same in the Impact. But like in every relationship, Shinji must want that too.
Pues para mí simbólica y literalmente Kaworu penetró en la región sagrada de Shinji: El campo AT, a través del Eva y la lanza de Longinus y recordando que lo que le pasa al Eva lo siente el piloto pues... Tal vez por eso antes de convertirse en LCL Shinji mantiene su sonrisa (?
The angels that tried to hack the Magi and the ones that violated the minds of Shinji and Asuka ? Maybe I'm being an idiot for suggesting this, but what if they were more like poor communicators due to their Eldritch nature, not bringers of ruin, kinda like Kaworu ? Most seemed to want to return to Adam and bring an end to the world in return for safety, and the one that took Rei's form seemed eager to force Shinji and his Eva to want the same, it's true. But the others I mentioned and the words and actions they used seemed more interested in understanding our variant of humanity and how we think, even though that shouldn't matter, since we're the prey. The one that attacked the headquarters for example could have focused on reaching Lilith or Adam, but instead their focus was completely on the Magi. Am I being naive ? Am I overanalysing this ? I mean, NERV had two angels in their possession, but they never tried communication. That seems like flawed thinking to me.
You could say, just as Kaworu expressed curiosity towards the lilim, the other angels also wanted to understand what the creatures living on Earth in their place were like
@@robertlopez7888 the ones turned to the mind and soul that is. The rest were clearly dedicated to destroying us, its cousins, especially the one with the creepy smiling face.
@@Mauricio0973I feel bad for them. Gonna give them another chance in my fic. I mean, it's Post-Third Impact. What's the worst they can do by that point ?

If we consider that kaworu apeared when he was devastated and give him inner peace (for only some days, but he did) and became one of his closest relationships , i will say that yes, shinji is bisexual
he didn’t like Rei or Asuka romantically, if anything he saw them for their sexuality and nothing else. the only one he every viewed in a romantic light was Kaworu
@@Emanymph literally YESSS he only saw them sexually or as an alternative maternal role which asuka, for example, could never fill, hence why theyre relationship was so horrible. shinji didn't see any of them in a romantic light, he only loved kaworu.
Yet I see people ship Asuka and Shinji who are also that age and had sex during instrumentality, as well as Misato which is even more inappropriate. Biased.
Their not Remember that kaworu was one of the only person he could really talk to and understood him because misato was grieving about her boyfriend dying. Rei doesn’t remember her pass memories. And Asuka was in a coma
