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…

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

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…

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

(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…
