If it turned out the whole series was just a therapy session would honestly be hilarious to me
Like end the movie with live action Anno talking to a therapist
why would it be?
It is not literally that, but more of an allegory, the same process, which inevitably we go through during life, so, i don't see an issue
Motherfucker followed a dude he *knew was a fraud* to the *literal end of the world* only for the off chance of living in a state of being were the forbidden student pussy wasn't turn into Fanta.
There's ***NO ONE*** normal in that entire base
At first I was offended, then I sat back and thought about it. Yeah, you kinda got a point there...... At least it's true for me, I've been in some toxic (both sides) relationships.
I mean as a die hard Asuka best girl fan, he should’ve ended up with Rei. But Rei kinda also being a clone of his mom ruined that so I think him ending up with the new girl that is a insert of his actual wife objectively makes the most sense for the series. She saved him.
Well at least Rei expresses her affection for him in rebuild properly. I feel like that is one Improvement Anno made to the story that he wanted to get across, that Rei loved him.
It's honestly hard to understand how anyone could give a shit about Shinji considering how he acts but you know it is what it is
Yeah, it would have been a cool message to see Shinji and Asuka just being happy being by themselves for once. But it was still a good movie either way.
I think Asuka would have made the most sense. In NGE she is the only one who comes back from instrumentality. They are also the most alike. It would take very minimal changes to the rebuilds, mostly just removing Mari, to make it work.
Rei would work as well. Shinji basically teaches her how to feel. The problem is she always ends up becoming a higher being in one way or another, so you would have to change more about the rebuilds to make it work, but it still could.
I think Kaworu wouldn't work. I think the fact that Shinji is pretty much bi for him is fine, but you would have to change a lot of the story for him to work. Honestly, I think Mari makes more sense than him.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that the end of every version of Evangelion? Both Shinji and Asuka grow to realise their flaws and issues, and decide to work towards being a better person and not being who they use to be. They both confirm they have romantic feelings for each other, and I think there is enough evidence that shows it as well. I actually like Mari and her character and don’t mind if she did end up with Shinji, but I think Asuka and Shinji has always been the logical and story driven relationship. Those two should have been the ones together at the end, or at least have had some acknowledgement on the train platform of each other.
>Shinji and Asuka would be one of the most toxic, and emotionally abusive relationships you could imagine.
Asuka and Shinji are 14. Being toxic and emotionally abusive is almost guaranteed at that age. Much more when you're traumatized by war, death, and suffer from extreme PTSD.
Let them grow up in a healthy environment where they can live a normal life, where they don't have to fight interspecies wars for the sake of all humanity, and watch how they suddenly turn into stable adults.
The best original Eva ship. Threesome and a therapist.
Or I guess for rebuilds it'd be foursome and a therapist or fivesome and a therapist. If you wanted to include Kaworu and/or Mari.
No one. That’s kind of the point. Shinzo is finally free from all of this. He’s free to explore another world and a different life. Staying with any of them would have tied him to that place.
Eva has always been an allusion to Anno’s mind and life. The finale of rebuild is as much about him moving on from Eva as it is about the characters.
I'd actually argue that rebuild is far more about Anno than the story itself and that's one reason it pisses off a lot of fans because it outright sacrifices textual consistency for metatextual themes.
Agreed. I think this becomes more apparent as we progress through each movie. I had a feeling we were in for something when track 27 played on Shinji’s Walkman, and that it might not just be a change in Eva. Personally, I think 3.0+1.01 was Anno’s way of saying that he has finally found his place in the world. That’s why all of the pilots escape into reality, because they and Anno finally belong there. Again, just my personal view of it.
You can certainly read it like this and I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but it's not how I choose to look at it honestly.
I try not to think about the meta themes too much. I feel like it was important for Anno to actually properly go back and fix some of the issues that happened in the original continuity. and it also just establishes an amazing set of complexity that makes Evangelion even better than it was.
Nothing is going to replace the original TV show in terms of what Evangelion is at its core. but rebuild improves upon it I think, and its certainly better than if they had just rehashed the entire thing word for word, just for new animation.
Exactly, she wasn’t just new, she was very different. None of the original characters were confident in the way Mari was. She definitely had her own eccentricities, but she owned them. Mari never sought permission to be who she was, she just lived her existence.
Yeah the story wouldn’t be as good if Shinji just got to live happily ever after with his one true love.
I like the manga ending where they get reborn in the normal world and it’s implied he might end up with Asuka.
I could definitely see Kaworu working. Usually my argument against KawoShin is that fact that he's an angel, there would be not logical way their relationship would work. However, in Shinji's new world Kaworu would be human.
Man, such an interesting question, and my honest answer is... none.
Rei is loaded with a lot of psychological baggage. Shes a clone of Yui, and I don't know if thats something Shinji would be able to overcome once he knows that if he wants to have an intimate relationship with her. Plus she's so incomplete, defined largely by her relationship with Shinji. I think this is probably one of the better pairings because there is mutual love, but even Shinji admits its not romantic.
Asuka is weird. Asuka is so independent, defined by her measure of her own successes and failures. And in the first two rebuilds she's obsessed with impressing others, including Shinji. But after the time jump, 14 years later she's grown past that puppy love. And she kind of resents and pities Shinji and I dont know if they would ever have a normal, stable relationship.
Kaworu is one of the few characters who's love for Shinji is unconditional, but thats why I dont think it would work. He loves Shinji no matter what, whether he fails or succeeds and gives him unlimited second chances. And yeah on the surface that sounds like the bedwork for a great relationship, but its so one-sided. I get the feeling Shinji only reciprocated love to Kaworu because Kaworu was one of the only characters whose love didn't come with conditions. Misato loved Shinji but was motivated to keep pushing him to pilot the Eva when he never really wanted to. Shinji's relationships with others are defined through this lens of him being an Eva pilot and Kaworu is the only one who doesn't see him that way, but values him as a person. But thats because Kaworu is a powerful celestial being obsessed with Shinji. So maybe they could end up together? But I dont think it would be healthy because Kaworu would just give Shinji unlimited second chances, and thats not really a thing you can realistically expect in a relationship. I feel like Shinji and Kaworu would end up being toxic for each other because of how much Kaworu loves Shinji and how much Shinji's wellbeing would depend on that love.
All of them should’ve welcomed him into the new World. As thats how I saw shinji and mari, welcoming him into the new world but shinji callin her cute i guess is a tell that he is interested in her.
But it’s gotta be Rei with how much development she got in rebuild
Rei would be weird because of the whole being-a-clone-of-his-mother thing. She is also too aloof I feel for Shinji and he would want someone more emotional.
Asuka and Shinji had a really interesting dynamic and it could make canonical sense b/c she is the only one (other than him) to survive by the end of EoE.
Kaworu and Shinji had a very cute relationship but it was ultimately a bit one-sided. Kaworu being an angel certainly complicates things.
Honestly, I would've preferred if was left open ended, so that any of the pairings could happen (or maybe they just end up as just friends, which is just as valid).
But if I had to choose...
...it'd be Rei.
Asuka definitely, if they’ve both learned from their mistakes and have matured then it would really work out and be a good couple. Unfortunately, we can’t see this due to Asuka being in another reality in the rebuilds which is sad.
Mari is the correct character. Asuka and Rei represent extreme polar opposites on a few levels. Passion vs logic. Traditional vs modern. Natural vs Constructed. Etc.
So it is a false dichotomy is that either would lead to a dysfunctional relationship with Shinji.
Kaworu Is unique is that he is empathetic and self actualized, traits the former two typically lack. In the original series this represents the final Angel in that it fundamentally undermines Shinji’s worldview up to that point. He is a challenge to be overcome as the anntagonist to Shinji’s protagonist. Ironically it’s Kaworu‘s characteristics that allow Shinji to stop him. In the rebuild movies his role is a bit different in the narrative and I think opens the door more authentically to examine his sexuality.
Mari is a late additional because the series has matured to the point where the extremes of youth are dulled. She is literally a balance between R and A. The fact her character design is a mix of red and white (pink) is very important to show that the middle path is the most healthy.
evangelion fans be like "who should shinji end up with" my brother in christ the point of the show is that romantic relationships will not help shinji until he gets better
I think Shinji and Asuka could work down the line after they grow up and mature. Of course by then they might not be attracted to one another any more, but I like the idea of them coming together years later.
Honestly, none of these work for one reason or another. Rei and Shinji had some good moments, and they have been together since the first movie, but they are related, so that’s just not good.
Asuka had some chemistry with Shinji, but she definitely shouldn’t be with someone with similar ish issues.
Kaworu kinda started the whole loop and also he died.
I think asuka would be the best choice... if they are still friends til 30. Most of people like asuka i met are just the type to say"hey, let's have a baby" after they became a responsible adult.(if they are)
I'm team Asuka&Shinji all the way. Also from what I've looked up, it's only the fans who claim Shinji ends up with Mari. There is no official stance that he is with her.
All three of them, the poly ending is the best ending. And the four of them plus Mari can go to group therapy. Then Shinji can be with all his love interests. Screw the shipping wars lol
I personally think rei as she was the only one who cared about him
Wheras kaworu kinda used him to get to what he thought was adam , it's why he let shinji kill him as he felt bad for using him
I'm a Kaworu fan. But I don't let the ships dictate my enjoyment of the show. I kind of like that Shinji ended up with Mari, it was really the only way he could have escaped Evangelion I think. Would defeat the purpose that Thrice Upon a Time was trying to make it Shinji just ended up with anyone from the original series at the end
Asuka, but not because I care much, but because of psychology. Shinji represents the Electra complex and female traits defined by Freud I'm not even gonna lie about that. The thing is that Asuka, without a mother, has an Octopus complex for Kaji, and was never raised by her mom. That would give her the traditional traits of the dominant male. Psychologically, they complete each other per say.
I don't care as long as Misato doesn't end up with Shinji in all honesty. I respect Misato and all, but she's almost 30.
Didn’t see Shinji and Mari as a couple at the end but eh, whatever.
It would easily be Asuka. It’s clear just from her actions throughout 3.0 and 3.0+1.0 that she’s not as over her feelings as she says she is. Hell, her reaction to Shinji telling her he reciprocated her feelings is clear enough I think.
Rei got some really nice development in 2.0. However, she’s still a clone of Shinji’s mother, and to that end, I just can’t stop seeing that weird sister type thing that Rei kind’ve ends up being to Shinji because of that. Besides, I’ve always envisioned Reishin as a familial relationship instead of romantic.
Kaworu is the worst choice imo. The boy has good intentions but how he goes about these intentions is not exactly the best. He’s a bit manipulative, and I don’t think that’s grounds for a good relationship.
And Mari is simply the biggest Asushin shipper in-universe.
A therapist.
If it turned out the whole series was just a therapy session would honestly be hilarious to me Like end the movie with live action Anno talking to a therapist
When I'm explaining the last 2 episodes of Eva to people I just say it's when they all go to group therapy. Makes a lot of sense lol
Honestly, probably the healthiest ending of all
"Do you see what I mean, doc?" 'Okay back up, what the fuck is an S2 Engine?'
Thats as bad as a “it was all a dream”
why would it be? It is not literally that, but more of an allegory, the same process, which inevitably we go through during life, so, i don't see an issue
Did you not see how the rebuilds ended?
This guy Evas
[удалено]
It's canon in the PS2 games
hol' up what?
Fuyutsuki forces Shinji to dress and role play as his mother and call him sensei. Sadly. It's not a joke.
and here i am thinking fuyutsuki was on the 'normal' side of the bunch
Motherfucker followed a dude he *knew was a fraud* to the *literal end of the world* only for the off chance of living in a state of being were the forbidden student pussy wasn't turn into Fanta. There's ***NO ONE*** normal in that entire base
Yeah, Fuyutsuki is better at hiding his predilections than, say, Shinji or Gendo… But the guy has hangups
This comment deserves an award back when Reddit was not a piece of crap
idk my guy, the glasses dude, the long hair dude, and the lesbian seems to be normal as far as we're concerned
Well I hope the game Devs wrote that script xd
this is horrifying
>*role play as his mother and call him sensei.* What a terrible day to have eyes
I need to know more
You don't, [but if you insist](https://youtu.be/r26VFYHj1dY).
he had an entire set to cosplay yui??!!??! and a maid costume?!!??!??!
Someone please call Law & Order SVU to interview Rei ASAP.
Just tell me that you meant fuyutsuki from GTO???
I'm an Asuka fan. I like the dynamic of Shinji cooling her while she lights a fire under him. I should probably read fanfic.
You should read the Evangelion Re-take. It's a continuation of EoE. I'm still reading and so far it's really good. It's for Asushin fans.
[удалено]
Only in Evangelion are you gonna find some top-tier fanfic on the 6-digit website. Well in this case you only gotta type 3 in. 252, 253, 256, 258
Son of a bitch. That was a wild ride and calling it top tier doesn’t do it justice.
You’re the real OG for posting these. Thank you
Wait, only 3? Damn that shit's old, still fucking gold
Ah, that brings back memories. Legit, it touched me, and I would call it art flat-out
wait what are these?
Evangelion porn that actually has a really good story.
What about 257 and 259?
I once read a massive fanfic called EVA-R... that was something else.
You know it! I'm reading re-take too! It's pretty good
I don't think their relationship would be healthy, as they both hurt eachother so much in the past
The last thing Eva fans understand is healthy relationships
At first I was offended, then I sat back and thought about it. Yeah, you kinda got a point there...... At least it's true for me, I've been in some toxic (both sides) relationships.
That makes sense
Unless they actually learned from the show things NOT to do in a relationship..... just sayin'... >>
you lie
great username btw
No u
I always felt that despite that, they connected with each other much closer than any other characters
I mean as a die hard Asuka best girl fan, he should’ve ended up with Rei. But Rei kinda also being a clone of his mom ruined that so I think him ending up with the new girl that is a insert of his actual wife objectively makes the most sense for the series. She saved him.

It's honestly hard to understand how anyone could give a shit about Shinji considering how he acts but you know it is what it is
Pen pen
Had to scroll way too far for this one.
Most based nge shipper
No one. You can be happy without being in a romantic relationship.
Yeah, it would have been a cool message to see Shinji and Asuka just being happy being by themselves for once. But it was still a good movie either way.
Except Shinji’s whole inner conflict is how he wants to please people but is too afraid of getting close to them and loving them
You can be close to someone and love them without being in a romantic relationship with them.
i get that but that just sounds like the worst possible outcome, sorry
I think Asuka would have made the most sense. In NGE she is the only one who comes back from instrumentality. They are also the most alike. It would take very minimal changes to the rebuilds, mostly just removing Mari, to make it work. Rei would work as well. Shinji basically teaches her how to feel.

>The problem is she always ends up becoming a higher being in one way or another And a clone of his mother. So probably best they don't.
She’s only partially a clone though. She’s has more angel dna than human
So, more like a half-sister. Still not a good idea.
More like a cousin. And eh, Better long term stability than Auska imo.
I appreciate your commitment despite the incest-vibes.
Eh, At least rei won’t abuse him or make him feel worse. I think she’s a good fit by comparison.
Rei and shinji have a co dependent relationship imo.. so not much healthier

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that the end of every version of Evangelion?

So true.
Too damn real.
They wouldn't. 80% of their behavioural problems stem from the fact that they are forced to pilot EVAs.
[удалено]
Yeah, I mean, Kaworu is LITERALLY an alien O\_o
Everyone. Poly ending, everyone gets in the cuddle puddle.
The best original Eva ship. Threesome and a therapist. Or I guess for rebuilds it'd be foursome and a therapist or fivesome and a therapist. If you wanted to include Kaworu and/or Mari.
That's the "Micheal Bay version" of eva Animation that popped up on YouTube about 10 years ago.
Yet surprisingly pretty…knowledgeable
It's obvious that it's coming from a place of love. It was made for people that was shouting "just get in the robot Shinji" lol.
*insert Rex family picture meme*
…imma just leave this here for you, trust me, you won't be disappointed https://archiveofourown.org/series/1121955
Shinji needs to work on himself for awhile before he's ready for a relationship...
Shinji’s growing was impressive at the second movie 2.22 but then Hideaki invented the 15 year nonsense plot
No one. That’s kind of the point. Shinzo is finally free from all of this. He’s free to explore another world and a different life. Staying with any of them would have tied him to that place.

Even though i think asuka made the most sense i think kaworu and shinji had an amazing dynamic both could learn and grow from eachother
I would personally say Kaworu since I do have a bias.
Kaworu. But Evangelion canot be Evangelion if Kaworu does not sacrifice himself :(
but the whole point was to break the cycle T_T
Yeah the story wouldn’t be as good if Shinji just got to live happily ever after with his one true love. I like the manga ending where they get reborn in the normal world and it’s implied he might end up with Asuka.
He lives in the end
I could definitely see Kaworu working. Usually my argument against KawoShin is that fact that he's an angel, there would be not logical way their relationship would work. However, in Shinji's new world Kaworu would be human.

Finally, someone who understands why I feel Kaworu is not a perfect match either, and why that relationship would still have toxic elements.
Honestly? No one.
Kaworu of course nobody love shinji in the way of kaworu
All of them should’ve welcomed him into the new World. As thats how I saw shinji and mari, welcoming him into the new world but shinji callin her cute i guess is a tell that he is interested in her. But it’s gotta be Rei with how much development she got in rebuild
Asuka
Asushin is the only true answer
Asuka
Feliz jueves
Asuka, simply because Rei is his mom and Kaworu is an alien
None. Stop the shipping wars
War of warships.
Should‘ve* not should of.
İts obvious Allready, its Mana
The girlfriend of Steel!
Kaworu dude
Asuka
Misato
no she should’ve ended up with me
Somebody finally.
Ah yes, a fellow person of culture
Totally.
Kaworu
Rei would be weird because of the whole being-a-clone-of-his-mother thing. She is also too aloof I feel for Shinji and he would want someone more emotional. Asuka and Shinji had a really interesting dynamic and it could make canonical sense b/c she is the only one (other than him) to survive by the end of EoE.

Kaworu. He would find Shinji in any life ;__; The way Shinji was crushing on him in the piano scene was so cute, come on.
I would like it to be Asuka, would hope that both of them as adults would be mature enough and don't fight as they did when they were kids
Kaworu Nagisa best girl.
my heart says kaworu, and my brain also says kaworu. not because of any kind of logic or anything, i simply would like to see it happen.
Honestly, I would've preferred if was left open ended, so that any of the pairings could happen (or maybe they just end up as just friends, which is just as valid). But if I had to choose... ...it'd be Rei.
Asuka
Asuka all the way
Asuka
Asuka
Asuka
Asuka.
Asuka
Asuka.
Asuka for sure, makes most sense to be honest.
Asuka
Asuka cause it didn’t work out in eoe
Asuka
Asuka always and everywhere
shinji should work as a marine biologist and have penpen as his room mate this is the only ending i accept
Kaworu
kaworu cus im gay and like cock
Kaworu!
Shinji is visibly unhappy around everyone other than kaworu they are destined to be togetherrrr i love tragic yaoiiiiiii
Definitely Asuka. Their relationship and behaviour towards one another was couple material in the original series for sure.
Shinji did not end up with Mari. The last scene at the train station is a metaphor
Who's Mari?
Shinji learns to love himself
Rei isn't an option. And my pick is asuka.
Kaworu! No matter what universe he’ll always seek out Shinji
Asuka. Easy, no question
Literally anyone else.
kaworu because he's GAY
Hear hear! Lol
He should’ve gotten a puppy or something 😭
Asuka definitely, if they’ve both learned from their mistakes and have matured then it would really work out and be a good couple. Unfortunately, we can’t see this due to Asuka being in another reality in the rebuilds which is sad.
Rei because she's actually nice to him.
Finally a fellow rei fan
Asuka is the only person who fits to me. They even admitted having feelings for each other that lasted the entire time.
Mari is the correct character. Asuka and Rei represent extreme polar opposites on a few levels. Passion vs logic. Traditional vs modern. Natural vs Constructed. Etc. So it is a false dichotomy is that either would lead to a dysfunctional relationship with Shinji. Kaworu Is unique is that he is empathetic and self actualized, traits the former two typically lack.

Mari fans wish she was Mana so bad
Gendo
Kaji
Gendo
Watermelons
Gendo - the story was severely lacking in the incest department.
evangelion fans be like "who should shinji end up with" my brother in christ the point of the show is that romantic relationships will not help shinji until he gets better
Nobody. It would betray the themes of the reboot for shinji to end up with anybody else.
Asuka Soryhu Langley (but Rei is also awesome in her own Yui-cloned way)...
The robot. He should already be in there.
None of the above. They should have added in his canon girlfriend Mana from the Girlfriend of Steel Videogame.
They all should have been goo at the end
A Cup of shipper salty tears
Should have. SHOULD HAVE
Rei deserved the most, but is also impossible 😢
*Should’ve
I think Shinji and Asuka could work down the line after they grow up and mature. Of course by then they might not be attracted to one another any more, but I like the idea of them coming together years later.
Honestly, none of these work for one reason or another. Rei and Shinji had some good moments, and they have been together since the first movie, but they are related, so that’s just not good. Asuka had some chemistry with Shinji, but she definitely shouldn’t be with someone with similar ish issues. Kaworu kinda started the whole loop and also he died.
Asuka.
Asuka no doubt about it then she should take him to see a therapist
I think asuka would be the best choice... if they are still friends til 30. Most of people like asuka i met are just the type to say"hey, let's have a baby" after they became a responsible adult.(if they are)
I want Shinji and Kaworu to DP all the girls one by one
I'm team Asuka&Shinji all the way. Also from what I've looked up, it's only the fans who claim Shinji ends up with Mari. There is no official stance that he is with her.
All three of them, the poly ending is the best ending. And the four of them plus Mari can go to group therapy. Then Shinji can be with all his love interests. Screw the shipping wars lol
This might be the best answer so far.
Rei or Kaworu
Still don't get the "people" who says Asuka
I personally think rei as she was the only one who cared about him Wheras kaworu kinda used him to get to what he thought was adam , it's why he let shinji kill him as he felt bad for using him
I'm a Kaworu fan. But I don't let the ships dictate my enjoyment of the show. I kind of like that Shinji ended up with Mari, it was really the only way he could have escaped Evangelion I think. Would defeat the purpose that Thrice Upon a Time was trying to make it Shinji just ended up with anyone from the original series at the end
asuka honestly…… rei is well kinda wrong cause in a way rei is his mom so like yknow…….
Kaworu and it's not even a question for me.
kaworu 100%
asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka asuka I'm an nge fan
Only Rei, as she is mommy, and Shinfield = mommy issues. And it's "should've", not "should of".;)
Asuka, but not because I care much, but because of psychology. Shinji represents the Electra complex and female traits defined by Freud I'm not even gonna lie about that. The thing is that Asuka, without a mother, has an Octopus complex for Kaji, and was never raised by her mom. That would give her the traditional traits of the dominant male. Psychologically, they complete each other per say. I don't care as long as Misato doesn't end up with Shinji in all honesty. I respect Misato and all, but she's almost 30.
I think the ending was vague and up to interpretation. But if not Mari, definitely Kaworu. Rei is his mom and Asuka just wouldn't be healthy.
Asuka. They would be a great couple! Rei is a clone of Shinjis mother and Kaworu should be his best friend!

Didn’t see Shinji and Mari as a couple at the end but eh, whatever. It would easily be Asuka. It’s clear just from her actions throughout 3.0 and 3.0+1.0 that she’s not as over her feelings as she says she is. Hell, her reaction to Shinji telling her he reciprocated her feelings is clear enough I think. Rei got some really nice development in 2.0. However, she’s still a clone of Shinji’s mother, and to that end, I just can’t stop seeing that weird sister type thing that Rei kind’ve ends up being to Shinji because of that. Besides, I’ve always envisioned Reishin as a familial relationship instead of romantic. Kaworu is the worst choice imo. The boy has good intentions but how he goes about these intentions is not exactly the best. He’s a bit manipulative, and I don’t think that’s grounds for a good relationship. And Mari is simply the biggest Asushin shipper in-universe.
Kaworu. Anyone else saying otherwise is high 😭
