#Evangelion #エヴァ
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:
==>
#Evangelion #エヴァ
…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
==>
#Evangelion #エヴァ

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
==>
#Evangelion #エヴァ

Not only did she meet Shinji, she even had a handshake—the spell to become friends—that she didn’t get from him in the 3rd village

==>
#Evangelion #エヴァ
…When Asuka and Shinji confessed their love to each other in the past tense, both thought they were about to die and never meet again, and that’s why they used past tense

Exactly the same as why Black Rei used past tense when she knew she was about to die…
#Evangelion #エヴァ
…But that’s what Shinji thought. When he said Sayonara to Asuka, he (unknowingly) cast the spell on her to meet again

Note Asuka was the only one he said Sayonara to

Actually, the spell was already cast in 2.0 when Asuka was in Unit-3:
#Evangelion #エヴァ


If you listen to Takahashi Yoko’s “What If?” you will have an even clearer idea of the meaning of Sayonara (Goodbye) & past tense

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…
==>
#evangelion #エヴァ

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…

 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?
#Evangelion #エヴァ
(2/17)
... 
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
#Evangelion #エヴァ
(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…

(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…
(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:
