Non-Japanese audience probably can’t fully empathize with the emotions in this line of Shinji in the #EndOfEvangelion

「ずっと一緒にいたいんだ」
I want to be with you forever

It is a marriage proposal — Well, some Japanese may say “will you marry me”…

#エヴァ
#Evangelion
…like we do. But more often than not Japanese men say subtle things such as “can you cook for me forever,” “I hope to be waken up by you everyday,” or “I want to be with you forever” when they propose

With that in mind, we can probably better understand…

…why Shinji felt so desperate when Asuka rejected him.

In the previous scene, Shinji mumbled that

「曖昧なままにしておきたいだけなんだ」
I just want to keep it vague

he intentionally dodged facing what he truly wanted, or who he truly wanted…

If you are still confused about or even troubled by Shinji and Asuka’s love confession in the past tense, there are several things to keep in mind:

1. In 3.0+1.0, someone else used past tense before Asuka and Shinji did:

…Black Rei (Kuronami) was the one who used past tense before everyone else did

And the context is: at that point, she knew pic 4 is what would happen to her in a sec

Once you’ve made this connection, then you can go one step further and ask:

What happened to Black Rei after she turned LCL?

She met Shinji again

And that’s all because of:

2. さよなら “Sayonara”: the spell to meet again

I do think Kensuke is a good guy, especially when it comes to supporting the 3rd village and Willie

I even think he handled Shinji’s PTSD the right way: at that time, giving Shinji space for some much needed self-reflection might be the best solution…

However, I do think Kensuke made a choice to sacrifice Shinji for the sake of the village and Wille

When Toji wished Shinji to stay with them, Kensuke acted as if he had something else in mind. He either stayed silent

 Kaworu finally understood Shinji 
 
Since EVA 3.0, I had been quite confused by Kaworu's feelings for Shinji. Sure, it is nice to have someone who tells you "I was born to meet you" and even carries your cross for you. But what kind of love is that?

3.0+1.0 finally gave us the answer
 
"Kaworu-kun, you are like my father."
 
Many people have pointed out the similarities between Kaworu and Gendou so I will not repeat what I assume you have already known

(3/17)...I just want to speak from the perspective of both parents and kids -- the only people who are willing to give up their lives for you are your parents. Not your lovers. Not your kids
 
Parents usually impose on you what they think is the best for you…
