Asushinkeks confirming they didn't watch evangelion properly.
Just came from rewatching it, and the only thing Asuka felt at Shinji was barely tolerance because he was a fellow EVA Pilot, and then sheer hatred because he was surpassing her in the sync tests and shit, to the point of running from Misato's house.
And don't think it was a one sided contempt. Shinji also hated her and made her had that suicidal mindset after being the one who lashed out at her saying Kaji is dead (in the chapter Kaworu appears).
Both hate each other because Shinji and Asuka are a reflect of their true selves they hate.
