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

#evangelion#エヴァ
…Or he told Shinji you should meet your father again—we all know he doesn’t mean they should sit down with Gendo and have a heart to heart talk over some coffee…

…
Touji told Shinji he has already done enough for everyone one and it’s time for him to stay behind
And Kensuke told Shinji Misato had been through a lot…

#evangelion#エヴァ
…Kensuke didn’t force Shinji to do anything, but all his actions were clearly oriented toward a single direction
I don’t mean to judge Kensuke’s character, but I want to point out he made a choice that Tōji would have rejected, if Tōji was the one in charge

…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…

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
Anno already gave us all the hints in Rei. We just need to connect all the dots

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