She's very obviously the most fucked up and least sympathetic of the main NGE characters. Saying that, she's one of my favourite characters of all time.

She canonically has really bad constipation, 24/7.

Misato seemed pretty normal to me. A normal woman surrounded by fucked up people.

>>280634012
I'd think the other way around, with all that beer. I can imagine her letting out stinky braps all morning on the toilet while asuka and shinji are desperate for the toilet

>most fucked up and least sympathetic
how?

>>280634088
>>280634093
Do you not remember when she tried to fuck a 14 year old boy?

>>280633944 (OP)
She is arguably the best female character of all time in anime
>most fucked up and least sympathetic of the main NGE characters
why? she is nowhere near ritsuko, gendo or fuyutsuki in being fucked up or unsympathetic
who are you comparing her to?

>>280634132
Ritsuko, gendo and fuyutsuki aren't main characters, I mean the main 4. The other 3 have the excuse of being traumatised child soliders

>>280634129
she was not trying to fuck him
she is a mother figure to shinji and she was trying to embrace him the way a mother would, now as later revealed in the episode with penpen its also because she was feeling lonely herself
unless you are suggesting she was also trying to fuck the penguin

Here, have this Chat GPT answer, its actually pretty good.


Why It’s Not Sexual

Psychological Manipulation, Not Seduction
Misato is trying to shock Shinji into action. He’s been unresponsive and drowning in despair, and she uses an extreme, emotionally jarring gesture to wake him up—much like slapping someone who's in shock. The kiss is a form of psychological escalation, not romantic intimacy.

Context of Desperation and Death
Misato knows she is likely going to die soon. Moments later, she is gunned down by invading soldiers. The kiss is part of a desperate farewell—not a come-on. She treats Shinji like someone who has to carry on after her.

Thematic Use of Boundaries and Trauma
End of Evangelion is full of scenes where boundaries—emotional, psychological, and physical—are crossed or blurred. The kiss represents the collapse of adult-child roles in a world falling apart. Misato isn’t acting like a guardian anymore; she’s handing the future to Shinji in a broken, confused way.

Misato’s Character Arc
Throughout the series, Misato struggles with her own trauma, guilt, and ideas about adulthood. She has a history of using sex or intimacy to avoid emotional pain. This scene reflects her emotional dysfunction, not a healthy adult decision. She’s trying to help, but she does it in a flawed, inappropriate way.

>>280634129
there's nothing wrong with that

>>280634129
Yeah and Dr. Akagi strangled a toddler. Which is more severe do you think?

>>280634201
>>280634231
It's shown in her instrumentality that she was trying to fuck him (episode 25) when they're talking about her shame of her sexuality they show this scene.

>>280634129
it's one of the many interpretations.

this was one of the high points of eva

I always wondered how she got her position
i mean she is canonically only 20 something and she has one of the top positions in all of NERV, she isnt really a super genius like ritsuko and her dad was long dead for him to push her to the top

>>280633944 (OP)
>yeah Misato is less sympathetic than the SEELE 'garchs
Uhh ok

>>280634298
She was ashamed that Shinji saw her having sex with Kaji. Not because she wanted to have sex with Shinji, lol.

>>280634625
No not that scene, they show her trying to comfort shinji in bed later in that scene while talking about her hypersexuality. I just put two and two together.

>>280634092
you think she wastes those puppies on the toilet? nah, the couch was made for her to rip ass on at 4am in the morning after holding them in the whole night out with kaji

>>280634683
I skimmed over ep 25, and I have no idea which scene you're talking about. The scene where they're talking on the bed was in ep 23. And I have no idea why you think she wanted to sleep with him, lol. It looked like she just wanted to comfort him by holding his hand after he (supposedly) lost Rei. Seems pretty normal to me.

>>280634452
>she isnt really a super genius
She has a great battle IQ

>>280635051
well watch the episode, dont just skim over it

>>280634452
29 is only 20 something if you're a 29 year old desperately clinging to the fact that you're technically not 30 yet

>>280635209

>>280634878
No. My face was made for her braps

>>280634878
she doesn't own a couch

>>280633944 (OP)
>least sympathetic of the main NGE characters
If you ignore Gendo, Ritsuko, Asuka and Shinji.

>>280635621
"couch" is just a funny nickname for my face

>>280635988
Yeah one of the "redpills" of Evangelion is realizing that Shinji kind of sucks. There's a lot that makes him sympathetic, but he's also kind of a loser even with all that.

>>280637950
All 14 year olds are kind of sucky losers

>>280637950
EoE Shinji is pretty much scum.

Only in anime will a 30+ year old alcoholic woman have a bodycount of ONLY 1
