>>280725289 (OP) Because Asuka secretly wanted the Shinji D even though she couldn't admit it to herself or anyone else until instrumentality brought out her deepest, darkest fantasies.
She's not the type to want to live alone, written into her as a contrast to Rei. Her increasing isolation later leads up to her psychotic break. She has a burgeoning interest in Shinji because her own ego is wrapped up in piloting and Shinji is a pilot. Eventually Shinji's success in piloting will be a wedge that she takes as an attack on her own self worth, this mixes with feelings of wanting Shinji to be more manly into quite a mess, but in the end her sense of self is more important. Misato is the closest person in Japan to Kaji so keeping close to her is keeping close to Kaji. As you get closer to the director's cuts it's more apparent that she's being written to do the womanly thing of trying to understand a romantic rival.

>>280725289 (OP) do you really need to make this thread every single day?
>>280725289 (OP) My question is why the fuck Rei is allowed to live all alone in a shitty apartment in a shitty part of town. She's a valuable asset, you'd think they'd keep her under closer supervision, she should just live at the base.
>>280731279 Really, a lot of the way NERV treats their pilots doesn't really make sense when you consider they have the literal fate of the world on their hands. It's also weird how it doesn't seem like anyone in the outside world gives a shit. Shinji is isolated, but you'd think that his face would be all over the media and instead he'd be incapable of going anywhere without everyone recognizing him and hassling him. He shouldn't be facing isolation, he should be overwhelmed with unwanted attention.
>>280731355 >It's also weird how it doesn't seem like anyone in the outside world gives a shit its an analogy for the brave soldiers who fight to defend Israel but go completely unnoticed

>>280731279 Depersonalization She's purposefully made to live in a shithole to keep her from forming earthly attachments so she'll serve her purpose without any issues, which obviously failed

>>280731355 I thought it was obvious that the way they treated their pilots was on purpose to drive them insane and cause another impact.
>>280731355 >>280731279 It's especially weird since it's a plot point that NERV has competitors and enemies. It would be extremely easy for anyone to just kidnap Rei. Or for some random guys to notice there's a teenage girl living all alone in an unlocked apartment, I've seen enough Hentai to know how that would end.
>One would assume she'd want to be on her own If she's alone, there's no one to pay attention to her. About the only time in the whole series when she was alone, was when she was laying in that bathtub after opening her wrists.
>>280740171 If you just randomly saw somebody naked, even somebody attractive, you're incredibly unlikely to get hot and bothered then and there. Later, perhaps, but not then and there. You'd be too surprised or outright frozen in the moment for the nudity to really do anything like that to you.

I'm still waiting for a doujin in which this bitch is brutally murdered
>>280741121 I've always thought it was an extremely odd choice Asuka did not give a cutesy nickname to anyone before, not even Kaji, and she doesn't even act all that close with Aida in the movie, sleeping in a separate room and exchanging few words with him She seemed closer to Mari, if anything
>>280741206 rebuilds ain't even canon so you shouldn't care tbqh, it's just forsaken trash

>>280732734 I thought that Asuka was being a bit too much of a bitch to everyone in the village with the "I don't live in the village, I protect it" shit. At least Toji and Hikari would have accepted her along with Kensuke. But as I type this I realize it's Asuka protecting herself from watching everyone age while she's stuck the way she always was. So how the hell did Kensuke break through that?
>>280725289 (OP) Doesnt she go mental when left alone? >>280725797 Not even that, she just wanted to feel wanted and valid, being by herself she just ends up depressed. If she wanted to fuck Shinji she would have just fucked him. Its more complicated than that.
