  • Imbued with character flaws that ultimately prove his undoing as he spirals into depression and insanity by the series' end, Shinji is a departure from the more idealistic heroes commonplace in mecha anime. Adventure heroes represent the audiences' aspirations: they are people we'd like to be. Shinji, conversely, is representative of the audiences' realizations: his flaws we recognize in ourselves. Evangelion is fantastic escapism even as it is a grim reminder of reality, quit bashing Shinji.

  • i felt that ctinge you get when you think your gunna see someones feet/legs get smashed with that chair slams to the floor.

  • imagine this in eva version xD

  • make me a sandwich!

    i won't ever make you a sandwich. Lear to make it yourselve!

    that's it?

    yep

    alright, you got it.

  • The music made me laugh.

  • Man. Many people get depressed by watching that but I think sometimes Shinji is lucky because of that exact scene. I can NEVER express them. And there will NEVER be someone like Asuka who would react that way which connects what I am to convey.

    Mindfuck I know. Yeah.

  • @spiritfired So what your saying is that there is little to no chance of someone ever like Asuka in real life where that one person makes you realize who you are?

  • @madbluedragon Nope. Totally out of the point. Of course a lot of people will like her. In fact, her reaction to Shinji was brilliant in the storyline and the current drama in the vid.

  • The penguin ruins alot of the moment. But to be fair, that penguin has the largest symbolism of all the movie.

  • @crazyinsane500 what? i didn't get that what does it means?

  • The music..

  • misati's gonna beat the fuck out of shinji when she gets home for breaking her furniture

  • @jmantime Not if Shinji turns violent again. Just like the Hulk, Shinji is either very calm or dangerously aggressive.

  • @MONOPOLY35

    or a raging pussy.

  • @kkingcombo12345 Yes LOL! Of course, Gendo Ikari is the more stable, evil, and manipulative version of a raging p****.

  • my favorite part of evangelion.... the voice acting is amazing... the music is so sad... brings me to chills.....

  • the loss of Identity.shiji tried to find the meaning of his existance.

    unlike other heros shinji thought "why do i have to help other people?what for?

    why do i have to ride on evangelion?"

    the answers "cos ppl prise me?""cos father said so"......in the last scene,

    other chars say "congrats" 2D charachter noticed the meaning of his existance.Only Shinji and Fudo Akira(devilman) questioned it."what am i fighting for?"this is a taboo for heros.

  • @IronARM569 its basically because he never had anyone who truly cared about him, (except maybe his classmates, but they were killed off by that N2 explosion rei took to save shinji). basically think of simon if he never had a kamina or nia

  • 0____________________0 OMG...................Asuka...­....Shinji........you alright there......*shudders* Wtf did I just saw right now 0_o, wait a min how come theres good music in the end.........there should be depressing music....holy **** Anno's depression must've made him insane or somethin (not blaming him just blaming the depression that he had)

  • wow to pick up a girl his size by the neck.... that's a lot of adrenaline.

  • Strangling seems so easy?

  • at least she was in the kitchen the whole time

  • Asuka needs to put some pants on. Look at those shorts.

  • ....i was never one for mech anime's still ain't but this is a bit interesting and i watched the original before they fucked up the story and added more deaths and what not, so can someone explain why shinji likes to choke bitches? and why there is so many scenes with asuka dying and what not it's so fucking confusing :(

  • hahaha this girl always gets killed off in all the movies..even got torn in half IoooI , seriously why give her the same behivor if you're just going to off her at some point..oh well here's to 3.0

  • @oriramu You do realize she didn't die in 2.0.

  • she was gravely injured during the test run I know that already , it's funny with her being a victm in most Angel attacks

  • I just like how the penguin just stands there and looks at both of them fighting.

  • two psychos have to save the world. wow. im glad it's just an anime

  • jesus so much bitch slapping in zeta gundam and so much strangling in evangelion jeez

  • Chris Brown a hoe

  • O-O

  • I hate Shinji for this. He's pathetic, AND he killed Asuka.

  • @Potterwatcher1997 wait...no he didn't

  • I am dying to see how things will turn out in the final Rebuild movies, since H. Anno seems to be taking a very different route. This part, among so many, always broke my heart.

  • Shinji is one of those narcissistic homosexual types.

  • @KokaKolaKan WRONG! Narcissists love themselves. Shinji HATES himself.

  • Comment removed

  • @CrimsonVermillioneye No, most narcissists deep down hate themselves, Asuka displays that quite well. Shinji, however, is anything but a narcissist.

  • @ndalum75 A narcissists hating his or herself is the complete opposite of being a narcissist.

  • @CrimsonVermillioneye A very common theory about narcissism and narcissists in general is that their want of attention and praise stems from a feeling of lack of self-worth. Asuka is perhaps the embodiment of that thinking.

  • 1:33

    shinji: (thinking) You hate me, right? But you really have no reason to hate me, right? do not worry, I'll give you a reason, right here, right now...

    (begins to strangle)

    asuka: ¡.....!

    shinji: You wanted this, no? this was not what you wanted? This is the REAL SHINJI

  • @TheIsraelkuroix

    After the way she treated him the whole series, she more than a little deserves this retaliation.

  • can't find the ost for the first part of this anywhere.

  • nice toes! 1:40

  • Geez Shinji you sweat a lot

  • Good for you Shinji!

  • Looks like domestic violence is alive and well !!!

  • Bitch should've said yes.

  • I would choke dat bitch too! throwin me on the ground like some kind of rock wtf!

  • why do they fight?? n y does shinji keep choking asuka?? does he have a problem or something??

  • wonder if they put this in rebuild evangelion

  • right handed or left handed?

  • 1:37

    Man mode activated.

  • wow wtf are u guys talking about 2.0? new movie edition and i think i saw nge 3.0 on google search.. wtf is all this?

  • I was too happy when he choked Asuka.

  • Asuka doesn't even flinch.  Holy shit.

  • @SheRicoSuave She's a total badass.

    The scene at the end also confirms it.

  • @Writtenjustice The Video Recommendations on the side confirms it too. "Shinji Ikari: Total Badass"

  • @TheJP3372 lol

  • WTF this kid got problems XD after seeing this scene(no matter how good the animation is) this is probably the worst anime ever and why alot of people hate anime!

  • @bardhi09 This is one of the biggest titles EVER in anime history. There are billions of fans and the remakes they have now playing in Japan excel most other movies being played. You either love it or hate it. You just happen to hate it obviously lol. I think this anime brings up a lot of good points about life, and no..........I'm not talking about strangling people who won't help you.........or am I? bom bom BOM!

  • @bloc22 Meh im not into anime that much anyways i prefer Western Animation MUCH More! But this is just insane and i really hate Emo Scenes!

  • @bardhi09 I'm not that into anime either, but I don't prefer western animation as well

  • @bloc22 OK!

  • @bardhi09 OKIE DOKIE LEMON POKEY! :D

  • @bloc22 Really?

  • @bardhi09 YEAH!

  • just another boring thursday evening in japan.

  • Now that some of you have brought up the strangling thing, it sort of happens in Evangelion 2.0 when Shinji loses control of his Eva to the dummy and it starts strangling Eva unit 3 (which Asuka was piloting at the time).

    Can't help but wonder if this "strangling" thing is symbolic of something....

  • @greensoulreaper Well, there's a hand motif throughout NGE (and maybe somewhat with New Movie Edition) that deals a lot with action versus inaction.

  • @SailorStarDust

    Yeah and after watching this clip again I just remembered the scene I mentioned played unfitting music as well during the strangling. But does Hideaki Anno like referencing his past works and other series as well?

  • @greensoulreaper He seems to. Even 2.0 had some Karekano (His and Her Circumstances) music in it (an anime that Shiro Sagisu once again wrote the music for while Anno helped produce, but the manga-ka didn't like Anno's approach with the anime adaption so he was forced to leave. -_- ).

  • Comment removed

  • @SailorStarDust

    There was a forum I went to that pointed out what you mentioned about Anno using tracks from past series, even a movie that he didn't direct, and that he chose those tracks because they actually have a deeper meaning behind them? I never saw Karekano but a synopsis I read on it said it was about a highschool girl who felt like she was outdone academically by a certain male student. I can't help but somehow connect that to Shinji and Asuka. :D

  • @greensoulreaper Well Shinji did choke the chicken over Asuka.... It sounds strange, but practically everything in EOE was phallic. XD

  • @DOBBSA87

    hopefully the newer series will clear things up more =/

  • @greensoulreaper watch the original fight whit eva unit 3

    eva 03 chokes eva 01 and the dummy plug chokes it back

    the only diference in the fight on rebuild is that eva 03 is piloted by asuka and it grows 2 extra arms :) and eva 01 bites the entry plug instead of smashing it

  • i dont get this neither goddamnit

  • The two really have fuked up relationship in their heads

  • SailorStarDust , i was wondering what are your thoughts on asuka's perception of shinji and vice versa.

  • @nero2kewl They have feelings for each other but they're too screwed up to admit it. One runs away from pain, the other's too proud to accept needing help. I like to think that post-EoE they're able to work on their issues/maybe one day become a proper couple since Instrumentality (before it's rejection) was a good life lesson for everybody and life IS going to be a mix of good and bad.

  • @nero2kewl And different continuity, but it'll be interesting to see how things end up for Shinji and Asuka Shikinami in New Movie Edition (Rebuild) since the oedipal angle's at a larger bent with Rei and Shinji. (They're really driving the point home that Rei's a Yui-clone and now both Rei and Shinji are stuck in Eva-01 after Near Third Impact... I'm assuming there will be a loose form of the Episode 20 mindtrips.) Shikinami IS more of a loner than Soryu and was already mind-raped... Hmm.

  • @nero2kewl I mean, Asuka and Shinji in this new continuity don't really have much of a romantic interest in each other except for Asuka's end. Instead they seem to be "only" roommates/fellow pilots this time around. Well, so far at least. MAYBE Shinji will develop feelings for Asuka depending on what happens with Rei and Yui. I sort of wonder if Shikinami will have any EoE-style bitterness towards Shinji, but maybe she'll rise up post-Bardiel too. Things should be interesting anyway!

  • @SailorStarDust i would agree with all of your excellent points, i also think that hideaki anno will possibly develop a romantic interest between them in 3.0. according to one of his statements at anime expo asuka's his favorite character.but currently i suppose anything could happen.

  • @SailorStarDust If Shinji hooks up with Rei at the end of Rebuild and they go on to make cute three eyed incestbabies, OR if there's a cheap fan-appeasing twist where it's revealed that Rei isn't really related to Yui at all (so as to scrub away the unpalatability of that scenario), I will start a huge bonfire with my Eva boxsets and merchandise. In addition, if I ever run into Anno by random chance, I will punch him in the face.

    I don't care what happens, as long as that doesn't.

  • Im not the biggest fan of this series so maybe Im wrong in asuming this but I feel Shinji feels alone yet there are people trying to reach out to him like Misato, Ryoji, Toji and Kensuke even Rei and Asuka in there own way yet he dosn't really appreciateit he wants more. I understand that some bad stuff happened to him but he such a needy bitch.

    Asuka on the other hand also feels lonley but noone really gose out of there way to reach out to her.I feel thats what shes saying.Im probabily wrong

  • @Leedz58

    He HAD people trying to reach out for him. Misato fell in a depression after Ryoji dies, Ryoji dies, Kensuke left Tokyo after the incidents with the angels, and I don't remember if Toji left with him, although it's most likely. Rei died on a battle against an angel and was replaced with Rei III who wasn't that close with Shinji, unlike Rei II. Shinji talked to Asuka most likely because she can understand him because she's another pilot.

  • @1423zxy IKR

  • One thing I hate about this scene is that it's just a dream/vision. It doesn't happen for real. :(

  • @abomination713 It's within pre-Instrumentality, so it's metaphysically happening. Episode 20 which is EoE-lite somewhat goes into this concept with Shinji (and in EoE, eventually the main cast) reverting to LCL.

  • Every time, EVERY TIME Asuka gets strangled, some happy ass music starts playing.

    EVERY. TIME.

  • Shinji, what a needy little bitch.

  • @frankystein12 Asuka too. They both have serious issues they need to work on, it's not just one or the other.

  • 1:37 O.O

  • PenPen's watching like "O.O WTF these people are CRAZY."

  • DANG!

  • 0:39 XD

  • Shinji keeping his pimp hands strong. That's right, Shinji Ikari has two pimp hands. He inherited them from Gendo, whose one pimp hand has the strength of two.

  • Please, what's the name of the song at the beginning, the violin one please

  • @soultaken Reliance Leads To Falsehood (虚妄への、依存. Kyomo he no, Izon). It's on the Death Original Soundtrack and S2 Works Soundtrack.

  • @SailorStarDust omg thank u so much! i can't find on yt tho D:

  • @soultaken youtube.com/watch?v=1d14v_VZWp­w or 1d14v_VZWpw for the youtube link.

  • @SailorStarDust omg why are u so nice....thank u so much againT^T

  • a asuka de pura suerte no le llego la silla en el pie XD asuka was lucky avoiding the chair it was really close of her feet XD

  • seriously his arms are like 2 meters long

  • Check out my Asuka and Shinji AMV plz

  • Anno couldn't have made "Komm, süsser Tod" come in at a better time :D

  • 1:36 ~ LOL

  • NGE is good for half the episodes the rest felt like mind rape

  • Pen Pen is pretty much the only sane character in the show.

  • mmmmm no entiendo muy bien la reaccion de los personajes...

  • @many0061 es una serie muy rara XD hay q verla entera para entender la pelicula...y ni aun asi jajajaja  hay q disfrutarla nomas

  • Wow I supper shinji on that on she was a bitch and shinji had put up with her shit the whole series that dumb bitch

  • Poor Pen-Pen... so confused D':

  • what a nice couple. one is depressed one is mental... ==

  • Should have beaten Asuka with the chair.

  • @SilverRodent He should have beaten himself with the chair

  • He can't brake a chair, but damn sure he can lift asuka in her neck of the ground.

  • is my memory wrong, because i remember a scene in which its asuka who is choking shinji. i dont know if its from the anime or death/rebirth

  • @pervysage35 You're thinking of Sadamoto's manga. Asuka strangling Shinji replaces the hospital fap scene.

  • Shinji: "I'm gon' have to choke a bitch"

  • They REALLY need to just fuck and get it over with.

  • @Nobody7720 they did nothing came out of it :p

  • @darklordsigara Must've been a hell of a show. ;D

  • @Nobody7720 hah, but that's inferred! (which is kinda scary, when you think about the 3 scenes where it's inferred D:...)

  • @Nobody7720 finally, some sense to a series of epic madness

  • @Nobody7720 Oh, I think they will. The sexual symbolism was just dripping off the concluding passages of EoE, leading up to a scenario with them ALONE TOGETHER...heh.

  • @Chradnev Gainax, get on that!

  • @Nobody7720 too true :P

  • kll the that bitch asuka shinji

  • If you look at the scene as a conflict between shinji and humanity, you might look at the scene another way. No one is there to save him, he has to stand on his own legs. And he accepts it

  • ow...he lands on the hot coffee..and still he doesn't even flinch

  • I know some people are going to hate me for saying this, but in my opinion, this scene was way better in English. It was just one of those moments in the dub where they just got everything right, and it made this my favorite scene in the movie. If I had watched this subbed the first time around, I don't think I would have liked it as much.

  • @TheRealBurninator Same here. I actually enjoyed this movie with the dubs. It was done perfectly and worked 100%

  • DOES SHINJI IKARI HAVE TO CHOKE A BITCH!!

  • @saucegaysucks YOU WIN THE INTERNET!

  • and this concludes our topic of how you must be insane to be a mobile suit pilot

  • Also, if you Pay attention you realize that Asuka had feelings for shinji, but they were both just too psychotic to express them.

  • @TheCmharman I wouldn't say asuka was in love with shinji..there might have been a slight sexual tension, but shinji pissed her of. heck throughout the series there's a lot of that stuff with the different characters. even between Misato and Shinji.

  • Thisscene made me pretty depressed. Asuka had always been a bitch, but i liketo give her the benefit of the doubt, after seeing what she went through as a kid, there is a reason she is so disfunctional. Also, she brings up a good point- shinji says he needs asuka, but she brings up the fact that she just happens to be the easiest, and he just needs someone. Also, the fact that he cant come to terms with himself (like himself) thoughout the movie just didnt satisfy me. But regardless- amazing se

  • Shinji voice is like girl.

    even his seiyu is a wowan but they have to make him sound more manly.

  • When I first saw this, I was like "Yeah, go Shinji, she was a bitch to start with so choke her up and put on a tantrum and show your real self!!!" then again, asuka was kinda miserable and I felt sorry for her.

  • El nombre de la cancion del final es "COME SWEET DEAD" DE KOMM, SÜSSER TOD

  • Please, I need the name of that music T.T

  • @Pangyarthur, WE NEED the name of that music!! =S

  • @Pangyarthur

    "A- 4 Violin Solo" it's on the Evangelion: S2 Works, disk 5.

  • @JostheLynx Thankyou so much!!!!

    I LOVE YOU, I WILL GIVE YOUR NAME TO MY BABY!

  • sinshi la quiere matar pero no le gusta ella????

  • sinshi se merece ese trato por cobarde

  • And this is why I support Shinji/Rei.

  • @KendrixTermina Sorry, but all the shippings fail.

  • DAT MUSIC AT THE END....

  • 0:40 Aww c'mon Shinji! Not the floor board! :(::

  • 1:14-1:25 Shinji really oughta consider taking up backyard wrestling LOL

  • shinji went BERSERK!

  • Where are the crazy people in this anime. We all know if this happen well have our weakling characters like these. But we'll also have crazy people but where are they!

  • Oh this is really rare in anime, i wish they would do this all the time , choke the person that bitches the most.

  • @ninjasrb1 amen to that brother

  • i am just wondering, can this state of mind be real in real life? they love each other but they hate each other...

  • @tatoearashiga Oh, trust me. It exists.

  • Does Shinji have to choke a bitch?

    Yes, apparently he does.

  • Shinji snaps and starts strangling Asuka her eyes widen in shock and then it kind off sounds like Elton John started playing piano next room....wait what!

  • @PennyDreadful1 only in japan.

  • Yep, kids these days... and they the heroes of earth :D

  • does he always do that???

  • Hase190 speakith the truth. I enjoyed reading the comments. All the creators of this anime do though, is describe, outline and try to explain serious psychological problems. They never really give a decent solution to problems like "existential angst" or "low self esteem". I guess it all depends on your attitude to the contingent nature of the universe. It's why I like Buddhism a little bit more than Existentialism.
