EVA-02's skull was pierced fourfold (none of her eyes actually being injured), and Asuka's left eye started bleeding.

Please point the links to a newer source, or modify the article or section to no longer require them.Please, or.Early LifeAsuka is 1/4 Japanese and 1/4 German (from her mother 's side), although her nationality is American, as is, apparently,. When Asuka was very young — prior to her selection as an Evangelion pilot — her mother was involved in a contact experiment with Evangelion Unit-02 and lost her mind as a result, thinking that a rag doll was her daughter and ignoring Asuka.
At the same time, Asuka's father proceeded to have an affair with Kyoko's doctor. Kyoko eventually turned suicidal, and asked Asuka to die with her, which Asuka agreed to, as she was too young to understand what her mother asked of her and believed it was the only way she could convince Kyoko to be her mother again. After being selected as an Evangelion pilot at a very young age, an overjoyed Asuka rushed to tell her mother, only to be devastated on finding that her mother had committed suicide, having hanged the doll in Asuka's place. At Kyoko's funeral, Asuka refused to cry, declaring she would have to look out for herself now. Following Kyoko's death, her father married his mistress. Asuka's new stepmother initially tried to bond with Asuka, but she ended up being discouraged as she found the young girl's overly serious disposition for her age and coldness towards her to be somewhat disturbing, and the two have kept each other at a mutual distance ever since.
Her mother's death and her father's infidelity and remarriage have left deep scars on Asuka's psyche.Until some point in 2015, Asuka lived in, where she met and.Arrival in Tokyo-3Main articles:,Asuka and are transported from Germany to Japan by the. Upon meeting (and attempting to impress) her former handler and the first children, she isn't impressed by Shinji (in fact, she seems very annoyed when Kaji praises Shinji's first battle in the lunchroom) but changes her mind when Kaji tells her he achieved 40% synchronization on his first battle. Right after that, Asuka feels the need to bring Shinji with her and show him the Eva-02 while talking about the Eva's capabilities. During this demonstration, they hear an explosion, and quickly get to the deck to see what was the cause, upon realizing that it's caused by an she mutters to herself that it's her 'chance' and drags Shinji along with her to sortie on Eva-02, forcing him to wear one of her plugsuits, as the two manage to eventually defeat the angel.After failing to defeat the first time, on a suggestion of Kaji's, Asuka moves in with Misato and Shinji in to properly train for a coordinated double attack on the angel. After initial difficulties coming to a proper unison with Shinji, Asuka is 'persuaded' to improve when faced with the prospect of taking her place. After rigorous practice, Asuka and Shinji manage to defeat the Angel.
At the end of the battle, Asuka and Shinji start arguing, and Shinji unwittingly ends up confessing he tried to kiss her while she was asleep.Ace pilot and schoolgirlMain Articles,Asuka participates in Nerv's attempt to capture, descending in a magma filled crevice in using. The operation is aborted when the Angel awakens, and with some quick thinking, Asuka is able to defeat it by subjecting it to thermal shock using her equipment's cooling fluid. Asuka narrowly escapes falling into the abyss when Eva-02's cables fray, but she's caught in time by Shinji in. Asuka will later recall this rescue during.During the blackout, Shinji, Asuka, and Rei have to manually infiltrate Nerv HQ, with Asuka assuming the self-appointed leadership of their party.
Asuka tries to tease Rei for being favorite, but is angered when Rei does not respond. Along the way, the trio discovers that the ninth angel is attacking the base. When Shinji asks what the Angel's are and why they are attacking, Asuka remarks that they have to fight back at the strange beings attacking them. Eventually reaching the, under.
Upon encountering the Angel's acid attack, and with their power supplies running low Asuka devises a plan to defeat it, placing herself in the most dangerous 'offense' position during this. The plan works and Matarael is defeated, with Asuka regarding her debt to Shinji's earlier rescue repaid.Asuka is irritated by Shinji's improving scores, though they remain behind her own. When Tokyo-3 is attacked from orbit by the 10th angel, Misato orders all three Evangelions sortie in order to catch the Angel as it falls; Asuka openly disapproves of the reckless nature of the operation - though puts on a show with Shinji afters Misato promises them a steak dinner.
Before the operation begins, in response to his question, Asuka tells Shinji that she pilots her Evangelion to display her talents to the world. During Sahaquiel's attack, after Eva-01 catches the angel first, Eva-00 and Eva-02 arrive to dispatch it, with Asuka delivering the killing blow with her. After the battle, when Shinji tells Misato that he pilots the Eva for his father's praise, Asuka regards this as a silly reason for piloting.Asuka takes part in the tests with the in the along with Shinji and Rei. During the tests, the 11th angel infiltrates the Pribnow Box and attacks, and Asuka and the other pilots are ejected. Nerv deals with the angel without using the Evangelions, while the pilots are left alone in their plugs for the duration, much to Asuka's irritation.Asuka does not take part in the Eva cross-synch tests in. When she asks why, Misato convinces her that she wouldn't want to pilot any other Eva but anyway - though Misato does not tell her Eva-02 is not, in fact, interchangeable at all. After accident during the tests, Asuka wonders what kind of girl really is.Descent and Arael's mind invasionMain articles:,While Misato and Kaji are out at a wedding, Asuka asks Shinji if he wants to kiss, claiming she is bored.
Due to Asuka and Shinji's respective interpersonal difficulties, the kiss does not go well, and despite her overt reaction, Asuka is secretly deeply disappointed by Shinji's awkward reaction. This disappointment is compounded when Asuka smells Misato's lavender perfume on Kaji after he brings her home. It is very possible that the failure of the kiss and the feeling of 'losing' Kaji are among the primary factors that lead to her sync ratio and capacity as a pilot gradually decay, further increasing her anguish and making her issues more apparent.Shortly before the attack of, Shinji surpasses Asuka in sync ratio, an event which leaves Asuka stewing in barely restrained anger. The battles of and both end for Asuka in her being defeated while being outshined by Unit 01, something which further erodes her confidence and sanity. Asuka also becomes increasingly aware and ultimately jealous of Shinji and Rei's close relationship, eventually expressing a perceived defeat to Rei when she spots her and Shinji having a casual conversation. Asuka also starts having increasingly frequent anger breakdowns, something which does not go unnoticed by Misato, who admits to Ritsuko that she considers placing Shinji and Asuka in separating housing.When attacks, Asuka and Eva-02 are trapped by a beam of light from the Angel which proceeds to. Asuka is forced to confront her relationships with Kaji, Shinji, and with herself with devastating consequences.
When Rei defeats the Angel with the Lance of Longinus, Asuka is recovered, Shinji tries hesitantly to comfort Asuka, but she is furious by having been saved by Rei, which is yet another perceived humiliation for her. In the aftermath of Arael's attack, Asuka avoids returning to the Katsuragi household for extended periods of time, instead staying at Hikari's house, where she does nothing but play video games all day.The lingering effects of Arael psychic attack finally become apparent during the attack of. Asuka's sync ration by this point is so low that she is sent out as backup for Rei, though only with the hope that Eva-02 might be able to act as a decoy.
Asuka, upset that Shinji didn't hold her as they kissed.Main article:Asuka is attracted to Shinji Ikari, which appears to cause conflict in her. Their relationship takes up a large portion of the show and is very important to its themes. Initially Asuka seemed to view Shinji as competition in because of all the praise he was getting, and she tried hard to show off to him, even though Shinji didn’t act like competition.
Following this, Asuka showed frustration with Shinji’s accepting nature and reflexive apologies, often arguing with him, but Asuka also flirted with Shinji and seemed disappointed when he didn’t respond.shows Asuka internally complaining of this. 'You won't do anything!' (After the 'Wall of Jericho' sequence from, in which Shinji didn’t take to her reverse psychology), 'You won’t help me! (Shinji had actually saved Asuka from the volcano in ) 'You won’t even hold me!'
, (upset that Shinji didn't hold her while they kissed in ), demonstrating the true nature of her feelings towards him. She is also the first person to return from after him, and her caress stops him from choking her. The state of their relationship is left open from there. As an interesting aside, Sadamoto also suggested during conceptualization of Eva that the relationship between Asuka and Shinji would be similar to the relationship between Jean, Nadia's love interest and eventual husband in the earlier Nadia.With ReiAsuka’s relationship with Rei Ayanami is also strained.
Though it starts with Asuka often mocking Rei, later in the series Asuka acts blatantly hostile towards her, likely reflecting Asuka’s own deteriorating level of control. But the motivation is the same in either case: Asuka hates Rei because she’s the opposite of everything Asuka has tried to be. This antithesis is also spelled out thematically though re-occurring motifs.
When Asuka makes her first appearance, she is standing facing the 'camera' silhouetted against the Sun behind her, just as Rei is often seen against the moon. In addition, Asuka’s blue eyes and red hair are the inverse of Rei Ayanami’s blue hair and red eyes.Asuka also sees Rei as mechanical and doll-like because of her tendency to do anything she is ordered to. When confronted in episode 22, Rei admits that, if ordered, she would kill herself, which sends Asuka into a frenzy because of her traumatic childhood experience with dolls.With MisatoIt is made clear that Asuka views Misato as more a barricade stopping her from becoming an adult. She is constantly seen berating Misato for various things, ranging from her preferring Shinji to her messy apartment.Asuka also shows jealousy for Misato's awkward relationship with Kaji. She expresses this to him before arriving in Tokyo-3 by dismissing her as boring.With OthersAsuka tends to push people away, acting abrasive towards others if not snubbing them completely. She also tends to avoid relationships with boys of her own age (despite her popularity with them), possibly to enhance her own image of 'maturity'.
For this same reason, Asuka prefers to chase after the adult though he ignores her advances.demonstrates that Asuka also tries to appear totally independent in order to distance herself from the sadness caused by her mother’s death, swearing that she would never cry again., however, reveals that Asuka really doesn’t want to be alone, that retreating from others didn’t cure her pain. Despite her outer strength, Asuka does not have inner happiness.End of EvangelionIn, Asuka appeared to have regained her power through contact with her mother’s soul, however, the extent of Asuka's control over Unit-02's actions is a matter of debate.During pre-Third Impact Instrumentality, Asuka told Shinji that she knows how he masturbated by her bedside at the start of Episode 25', and told him to 'Do it again like usual. I'll even stand here and watch.' But she also said that if she couldn’t have Shinji all to herself, she didn’t want anything from him, indicating that she wanted to possess him utterly. In Pre-Instrumentality, Asuka also told Shinji to stay away-for all he ever did was hurt her-and accused him of only going to her for help because she was the person who would hurt him the least.Although Asuka was the first person to return to human form after Shinji rejected Instrumentality, it was unclear why she did this.
She may have been motivated by a strong will to live, or merely a desire not to be so close to others’ souls, as one of her lines towards Shinji in Pre-Instrumentality was, 'But, if I have to be with you, I'd rather die!' Despite wearing bandages that coincide with her final battle injuries in of, the fact Asuka was able to move her right arm and caress Shinji's cheek suggests she imagined herself in her own heart as healed. Asuka caressing Shinji's cheek is a noted as a sign that she may have changed for the better.In Other Media' Making something. Nurturing something is really great. You can see and learn so many things from the process.' Please help improve this article or section by expanding it.Please, or.Manga AdaptationApart from having a different shade of hair color (more of a strawberry blonde), Asuka's personality and origins are vastly different from those seen in the anime. In the manga she is a test-tube baby, proud of being 'The product of an elite sperm and an elite egg'.
She is also trained in the martial arts, and single-handedly beats up a group of thugs who threaten her and Shinji. Her family situation is also different- the issue of her father, Langley, is never brought up, but as in the anime, she does want her mother's attention and love. She was actually throttled by her dysfunctional mother, and later 'reenacts' this with Shinji when hospitalized.Unlike the anime, where Shinji develops romantic feelings for her very quickly, Sadamoto's Shinji thinks of Asuka as 'a real bitch', and his relationship with her is one of with a disagreeable coworker but gradually evolves into something of a friend, with romantic feelings hinted toward the end. Similar to the anime, when they first meet in the manga, Shinji calls her 'Soryu', and later 'Asuka', her first name implying a greater degree of intimacy. However, after Kaworu's death, Shinji comes to visit Asuka in the hospital, similar to. He confesses his need for Asuka, saying, 'The Asuka I want to protect isn't this empty shell!'
She wakes up from her sedated state after this, and begins to choke Shinji, screaming about how she 'hates everyone.' In Rebuild of Evangelion. Asuka's counterpart in is, whose character develops in a markedly different manner from the original Asuka, aside from the change in name.Shinji Ikari Raising ProjectMain article:In this manga version, Asuka is a childhood friend of Shinji's. Although she still makes fun of him, she's also shown to have romantic feelings for him. As such, she was jealous when Rei joined them in school. The two of them dispute his attention for the remainder of the manga.Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic DaysMain article:Similarly to SIRP, Asuka is Shinji's childhood friend and has strong feelings for him.

They constantly get into fights and Asuka is shown to be jealous of Rei and particularly Kaworu. At one point, Shinji is invited to play a concerto with Kaworu but he decides to take care of a sick Asuka instead. Her feelings of inferiority are preserved, and she tries to overcompensate, as she is especially violent in the earlier chapters of the series, but mellows out eventually. She and Shinji eventually realize their feelings and declare their feelings for one another, and by the ending are adjusting to being a couple.Neon Genesis Evangelion: Gakuen DatenrokuMain article:Asuka is generally the same as she is depicted in the original manga and routinely teases Shinji. She is an artificially created child, like Rei and Kaworu. She is the only one of the three to have had parents or go to school prior to her current one. It is later revealed that on one of her first assignments, Asuka was forced to kill her mother after Angels took possession of her body.
Despite her hatred of Angels, she still befriends Kaworu after he reveals his true heritage to her. Unlike other versions, she also seems to get along well with Rei, and is visibly upset when Rei is shot by Gendo. At the end of the series, she is shown attending school alongside Shinji and Rei, starting up a normal life after Gendo's death and the defeat of the Angels.Petit Eva: EvangelMain article: 'In Petit Eva, Asuka is also shown to be Shinji's childhood friend, constantly getting into fights. She is very energetic. In the Nintendo DS videogame adaptation, she also shows romantic interest in him and almost kisses him before being interrupted by Kensuke filming them and the rest of the cast watching them.Tengen Toppa Gurren LagannIn the 2007 anime Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann, Asuka, alongside, as well other female characters from other Gainax works, appear in episode 6, dressed in bunny outfits working in a bathhouse.
However, it is revealed by the end of the episode that those girls were instead beastmen in disguise.Other characters include Mahoro from Mahoromatic, Nono, and Lal'c from Diebuster.Edge Of Spider-VerseAsuka makes a cameo appearance alongside Kaworu, Rei and Shinji in the fifth chapter of Marvel's Edge of Spider-Verse storyline, as classmates of Peni Parker.Non-Franchise Video GamesAsuka appears in the Super Robot Wars game series, where she often butts heads with equally hot-headed and intelligent Kouji Kabuto, the pilot of Mazinger Z and Mazinkaiser. She is also implied to have developed crushes on famous heroes, such as Char Aznable (in the guise of Quattro Bageena) and Amuro Ray. However, the writers of the Super Robot Wars are evidently believers in Asuka and Shinji's suppressed feelings for each other. For example, in Super Robot Wars Alpha, Asuka jealously seizes a bouquet of roses Shinji meant for Lynn Minmei.
In Super Robot Wars Alpha 3, she snaps Shinji out of his depressed state during the battle with the mass-produced Evas by declaring that she could not be with someone who'd simply lie down and die.In KOF: Maximum Impact 2 the character Leona Heidern has an alternate costume that resembles Asuka's plug suit. She also has a costume that resembles Rei.References. Going by Asuka's birthday, she is actually 13 for the majority of the series, as opposed to 14 (the 'official age' for Eva pilots). Curiously enough, her age is provided as 14 in official materials, even, in some instances, right in juxtaposition with her birthday (e.g., )!. Asuka is named after two warships, one Japanese, the, the other U.S., the. For more information on how Asuka and the other characters were named, see.
Asuka's surname is spelled differently from the name of the warship Soryu(蒼龍). The warship's name literally means 'Green Dragon', but Asuka's name contains characters for 'All' and 'flow/flux/current/stream'.
No explanation has been given for the difference in name. Although the change could have been because 'Green Dragon' would be a rather fantastical surname, Japanese surnames with the character for 'dragon' in them exist. Adding to the mystery, aside from Ritsuko Akagi all the other characters share the same Kanji in their surnames as the warships they were named after, making their names at least as improbable. In, Asuka's, noticeably struggles to pronounce Asuka's extended piece of German dialogue as she is starting up Eva-02. The English voice actress for Asuka, Tiffany Grant, quickly recites the German startup list much more fluidly. Aside from the fact that Tiffany Grant speaks German in real life, English and German are fairly closely related languages, while German is entirely alien to a speaker of Japanese.
