Shinji Ikari
The ending of Evangelion has raised many questions and debates. The answer to the first question is that Asuka did not die, but Shinji Ikari did. In the first episode of the second season, Shinji and Asuka were in love. However, things soon turned bad for the two, and Asuka’s death is a tragic event. Shinji’s death was a terrible shock for Asuka, and she was left with no choice but to accept it.
As an aside, the last episode of Evangelion deals with the idea of Heaven and Hell. Throughout the anime, Shinji Ikari creates a Christ-like Unit-01, and as an antichrist, he spears the Mass Production Evas with lances. Shinji also depicts the creation of Heaven by melting everyone into one entity. The series also explores the idea of a future where humans can live freely without the fear of becoming a part of the Evas.
Asuka’s death
The anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion features a female character named Asuka. She is the Second Child of the Evangelion Project, and pilots Evangelion Unit-02. In English versions of the anime movie, TV series, and manga, her surname is spelled Soryu. She first appears after defeating the Seventh Angel in Evangelion Unit-02, S-Type Equipment.
At the end of the anime, Asuka dies in the final stage, which is set in a world in which no Child was an Evangelion pilot. Evangelion Unit 01 battles in the “Anti-Universe”, a realm where thought becomes reality. In this world, the characters are surrounded by places and objects based on memory. These locations are real only on the surface, but as Shinji’s powers of creation are revealed, they begin to lose their realism.
Shinji’s sacrifice
In the end of Evangelion, Shinji wishes to be alone. He wishes to be alone so that no one can harm him. The television series depicts him reflecting on his past and the events of his life. In the final scene, Shinji leaves the beach with an angry Asuka. The scene depicts the first time that Shinji’s sacrifice has an emotional impact on the viewer. Although the decision was difficult, Shinji is able to get control of his grief faster than before.
The implication that the Angels and humans are separated by the angels and a human will die without being able to contact either of them is very strong. The Angels also have the ability to contact Lilith and Adam, which would mean that the human race is already Complemented. However, Kaworu reminds Shinji that only one form of life can survive, and he sacrificed his own life to give humans a chance. The storyline of the Evangelion TV series seems to be a prelude to the Human Complement Project, which aims to unite life through death, and return to Lilith.
Rei’s new world
In Evangelion 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, we see Shinji, Asuka, and Rei journey to a village in the aftermath of Asuka’s death. Here, we meet other characters who are also affected by the Third Impact. Rei and Shinji also come face-to-face with caring characters Toji Suzuhara, Hikari Horaki, and Kensuke Aida.
The coffee-pot scene is also surreal. It feels out of place, and would not have fit into the Evangelion timeline. Besides, as the series moves forward, Shinji would not have been so desperate to strangle Asuka to death, nor would she have stood there suffocating in the middle of a coffee-making session. It would have been more realistic to have Asuka die peacefully on the spot. Hence, it was added into the Director’s Cut of episode 24. This scene plays a major role in Asuka’s realization that Kaji will not return to her.
Shinji’s father’s plan to create a Third Impact
During The End of Evangelion, a cataclysmic event called the Third Impact occurs on Earth. It was an attempt by the First Ancestral Race to achieve Human Instrumentality, or the melding of all humans into a single life form. Shinji Ikari rejects this plan. Eventually, the Third Impact destroys Tokyo-3 and most of humanity.
The Third Impact is Shinji’s way of harnessing his repressed loneliness and anger. It will trigger the destruction of the world and kill billions of people. While this process may seem like a simple process, it ultimately has far-reaching consequences. The plan for creating a Third Impact is so ambitious that it involves the destruction of the entire universe. However, the Evangelions will be saved by Gendo’s plan.
