(1/15) I want to summarize what we have known about the ending of Shin EVA 3.0+1.0 given the official information from Khara
To give a quick overview, when movie was premiered in Japan in March last year, so many got confused by the ending even after multiple viewings …

(2/15) …A Mari-Shin and Asu-Ken ending simply makes no sense and we don’t see where it comes from.
As a result, many loyal fans got angry, probably even more so overseas as we can only read spoilers.
Probably Khara realized the misunderstanding was too prevalent than what…

Probably Khara realized the misunderstanding was too prevalent than what…
(3/15) … they would like to see, so they made quite a few moves trying to add some clarity:
1.The most prominent move was obviously the release of EEE, or EVA-Extra-EX.
For those of you don’t read Japanese, the English translation is here:

(4/15) … Some background about EEE:
After a meet and greet in April, Anno probably realized that the vast majority got the wrong message about the ending. I have to say he overestimated the comprehension level of his audience, especially the non-Japanese people who lacked…

(5/15) …such subtlety in our genes.

(6/15)…that of the previous week.
Here is the graph of the accumulative box office over time and EEE’s impact on the curve:

(7/15)…understanding of Asuka, to help the star crossed lovers. There is no way that she would sabotage the LAS relationship that she held so dear to her heart 2) Asuka still had deep feelings for Shinji despite the long 14 years of separation. There was no place for Kensuke…
(8/15)…Simply put, EEE just wants to tell us that neither Mari-Shin nor Asu-Ken makes sense.
Please note EEE is Canonical: it was executively produced by Anno and scripted by Tsurumaki. It is NOT a fanon as some mistakenly claimed.
2.When released to prime video, Khara…

(9/15)…added an additional 20+ seconds in the beginning about how Asuka, Shinji, and black Rei were picked up by Kensuke near the 3rd village. This short 20+ seconds tell us how much Asuka cared about Shinji and explained why she ended up in Kensuke’s house…
(10/15)… 3. In September, the amazing Shiro Sagisu released the lyrics version of What If?, sung by the equally amazing Takahashi Yoko. It is on Apple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/shiro…
The lyrics of the song explained the meaning of the past tense love confession of Shinji…

(11/15)…(less so of Asuka). I explained in a previous tweet of mine:
Note the English lyrics is written by the same lyricist for Komm Susser Tod and Everything You’ve Ever Dreamed Of, both plainly and unambiguously express Shinji’s feelings for Asuka…

(12/15)…For those who read Japanese, the Japanese lyrics, written by Anno himself, was even more straightforward. I won’t be surprised What If? has an original Japanese lyrics written by Anno himself as well.
4.And so many promotional events afterwards all highlight either…

(13/15)…AsuShin or MariAsu.
So, I simply don’t see there is another explanation other than LAS that can fit all these moves.
I hope the above explains.

(14/15)… finally, even without EEE and all these other additional information, we still can rule our MariShin and AsuKen from the details in the movie itself.
I will just point out a few:
1. The day Asuka & Shinji returned to Willie was Kensuke’s first time seeing the ship…

(15/15)…2. Asuka said to her doll she had always been alone
3. As an Angel, she lost basic human desires for food & sleep. It is not hard to go just one step further: she also lost sexual desire
It also explains why she was naked. Hint: Why did Adam & Eve hide from God in Eden?

On why Asuka was naked, I also explained in a previous tweet in Japanese:

Another earlier tweet on Asuka’s loss of basic human needs:

I wrote another thread to further explain the ending:
