>>4326457>>4326458>>4326460>>4326462>>4326464Proto Asuka is my most favourite version of Asuka, always and forevermore. There is a criminally small amount of Proto Asuka art.

>>4326551Her getup looks similar to Reggie's armor on Twelve Forever
>>4326712>tfw no beach date with Asuka just kill me already

Any Asukabros that wanna learn the German and Japanese languages?
>>4326730I want to start learning Japanese this year. There's a Kunokuniya not far from my office, so I might swing by there and see what textbooks they have.
>>4326739Woops, Kinokuniya, I suck at spelling in English too
>>4326740>>4326739That's pretty nice, I wish you good luck! I've been trying to learn German on and off for the past few months.
>>4326730I took German from 7th through 11th grade as well as the required semester in college, all before I'd ever watched Evangelion. I enjoyed it, but having been away from it for fifteen years or so I've forgotten a significant majority of what I'd learned.
>>4326761post the feet one
>>4326761>>4326790do not.
>>4326458Look at how itty bitty her waist is.
Asuka in big sneakers is such a good style
>>4327045I love Asuka in sneakers
>>4326961Asukas waist is always itty bitty

>>4327338Yeah, and it showed
>>4327338Asuka is both supremely designed and one of the best written characters of the medium, which makes it all the more funny that she basically has no impact on the overarching plot of the series at all
>>4327424I mean if you think about it literally nobody had an impact on the plot except for SEELE until EoE. Shinji fought the angels which saved Tokyo 3, sure, but he could've been replaced which is part of the reason he needed to stop hinging his self-identity on the Eva. Asuka existed more to be torn down from her pedestal so she couldn't really win anything, but when it comes to the plot the only character we really know who did anything was Gendo, and even then everything he actually did to drive the plot was off-screen, once again until EoE.Evangelion's more about the characters anyways, though. In that, Asuka's a major influence, both on her own character (obviously) as well as that of Shinji, and to a lesser extent Rei and Misato.
never seen so many off-model drawings in my life
I didn't realize this was so big until I opened the package, made me laugh. I love it so much.
>>4327498Where can one procure such a plushie as this, being in the U.S.?
>>4327499I used Amazon. It comes up if you search "Asuka Plushie"
>>4327339Is it just me or do her eyes look too far apart here?
>>4327500Thanks, just got the second to last one lmao. Hilda, Chiquita Rei & little Asuka are going to have a new sister to my collection
>>4327543>>4327544what is being said
>>4327557IDK I don't speak Japanese
>>4327452Yep its really all about the people and human interaction, and in that regard she's second only to Shinji in significance.
>>4327544Male version of it
>>4327498That's absolutely adorable>>4327424It always bugs me when people just write off Asuka as bratty and annoying without appreciating the depth of her character, but maybe it's just because I identify with her a lot.
>>4327618>I identify with her a lot.Blog about it, I'll read.
>>4327623Same, I'll read
>>4327623>>4327626I'm too tired today to do a full-on blogpost, lord knows I've already done enough in the past threads. Basically, I have similar tendencies to Asuka with regards to wanting approval from others and hating yourself for failing to achieve anything less than perfection. Growing up I also wanted to be treated as an adult instead of a kid, and I felt like I always needed to be the best at whatever I did just to prove that I'm valuable. Eva kind of helped me process a lot of stuff since I watched it at a lower point in my life.
>>4327674I also find a lot of similarities with Asuka. Many of her tendencies resonate with me, except perhaps for the confident facade she presents. I suppose I exhibit a blend of traits from both Shinji and Asuka.
>>4327560I love Asukas tiny muscles, they're so cute!
>>4327683I feel like a lot of people who resonate with NGE have a lot of overlap with Shinji and Asuka's personalities. That confident facade "fake it till' you make it" thing is something I rely on a lot. Really can't emphasize enough how well characterized Asuka and most of the cast is.>>4327684Asuka is strong as hell for her age
>>4327424She acts as the opposing narrative foil to Shinji. Both are just ordinary kids caught up in their parent’s warped expectations of them. Shinji resents his role as pilot but excels at it, while Asuka embraces her role yet often struggles with it. Their differing temperaments and how they deal with their challenges informs the overall theme of finding personal internalized value amidst outrageously unreasonable expectations. Meaning, she’s there to illustrate a central aspect of what the story is about. But nah, she’s not a government spy or space goblin or whatever, so therefore she’s irrelevant.
>>4327557A~a, I wish it had been Kaji-san.I'm no good?Please?
>>4327732Neat detail, Gendo completely ignores Asuka and never speaks to her throughout the entire show, despite her being one of only three pilots.
>>4327788To be fair Gendo seems to barely tolerate the level of communication he has to endure between him and his own son.
>>4327543>>4327557>>4327560>>4327742These two lines are from Evangelion ANIMATE Voice Cassette. https://youtu.be/WMconFL1fu8 I personally also believe that the content also implies that, at least in this tape, Asuka and Shinji actually know that the other party likes them, but because the other party cannot express their love in the way they want, they use "I will fall in love with someone else" to blackmail the other person into changing their behavior, even if both of them find it difficult for them to change themselves.
Remember to feed your Asukas
I wonder where the biggest collection of physical Asuka media is.
>>4327336w-why is she looking at me like this?
What do you guys think about a vampire Asuka?
>>4327873
>>4327848yeah that tracks. Never really understood why people have such a hard time getting that these two care about eachother in some form. it was kind of a big theme.
>>4327925The first time I watched eva I was myself a dense teen, and as such I never caught on to that aspect until I rediscovered the series years laterI just remember thinking>damn, why is she so mean to him all the time?
>>4327925Or worse, people who think Asuka is a lesbian for some reason.
>>4327935lesbincels and fujos love pairing the two girl MCs even if it makes zero sense.
>>4327935Do I think she actually is? No. Do I think it would be hot to watch Misato rail her ass anyways? Yes absolutely.
>>4327994>even if it makes zero sense.The whole point of pairing Rei and asuka is BECAUSE it makes zero sense. It's a crack pairing.
I'm guessing they saw the official art of Asuka and Rei acting fruity and decided to ship them.
>>4328051EVA's official art is funny to meEveryone looks so friendly and happy, it's insanely misleading
>>4328077Rei's face in this is funny. Like she's one second away from shoving asuka off her
>>4328083I've always been of the opinion that, at least in the original series, Rei dislikes Asuka way more than the other way around
>>4328085Yeah, I got the impression that Rei was envious of Asuka's "confidence', piloting skills, and her close relationship with Shinji even if Rei didn't show it.
To be fair, Rei only cared about Gendo and Shinji during the whole series
my 11yo sister drew this what do you guys think?https://paint.adminforge.de/boards/lz2f6ohWqxJma03w0Z67wOH4vl1yH1nWYoK-kiIPkwE-
>>4328116holy nigger?
>>4328116Is your sister okay?
>>4328125Brown Rodger
Asuka rules
I want her to take advantage of me.
>>4328284true
>>4328287This guy gets it.
>>4328286ah i piedi
>>4328282I love all /fit/ Asukas.
>>4328306bene
>>4328309italy is a feet
>>4328284Same, I want her to yell at me and kick me in the face with her sweaty feet
>>4328312
>>4328308Asuka muscles
>>4328339she so strong
>>4328340
>>4328085I agree. I think the most telling scene was after Shinji got sucked into the black hole in ep 16 and Asuka tries to put on her facade of "haha what an idiot" while very clearly having a hard time keeping it together, and Rei immediatley realizes what she's doing and goes right for the jugular in calling her out. >>4328091I dont think she was envious or jealous necissarily, but she kinda of saw through Asuka's facade of confidence and couldnt really understand it.
>>4328420you that out pointed it out nicely I always adore Rei & Asuka, "Red + Blue = Purple lol!" Do you think if Rei hadn't died, she had a chance of befriending Asuka?
"You pointed that out nicely" Oops my bad
>>4328428I think by the time Rei II blew herself up, Asuka wasnt really in any kind of mental state to open up to anyone. Much like any relationship with shinji or misato, she'd need to work through her own issues. Maybe if things were different earlier on in the series though, like misato offering rei a place to stay so all three of the pilots could bond would have made things different though, who knows.
>>4328436we can have so much in common with others but have poor social cues or barriers that prevent us from communicating maybe in another life, they could've been friends
>>4328339>>4328314>>4328309>>4328289I should rub one out to her
>>4328440I think all three of them cared about eachother, some more deeply than others, but it was still there. Their own problems made it hard to communicate, and its a testiment to how strong they were that they got as close as they did to an understanding before the combined weight of the angel invasion and two shadow governmetns with the combined power of the UN behind them set out to mindbreak them for their own plan to work.
>>4328451the sad part is the only adult who understood Askua was Kaji but after his death, it was downhill from there. he was the right father figure and vice versa with Shinji & Misato >>4328449I can't help but see Reggie in Asuka in these
>>4328455Alternate universe where Misato and Kaji try to raise baby Asuka and Shinji
>>4328456>Asuka can have all the sweets she wants
>>4328453
>>4328464On the contrary, they're for winners. That's why all hers were torn out by the MP EVAs.
Nyaaa~
>>4328504That's adorable
A kingdom must be ruled with an iron fist.
>>4328561Wish I was there with her

>>4328602BLUH! I VANT TO SUHK YOR BLOOD!!
>>4328606oh no. Please don't bite me or else I'd have to be her slave forever
>>4328611>I'd have to be her slave forever"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
>>4328614the worst. Being forced to stay in Asuka's manor with her for centuries
>>4328619Tummy
