[Cannibal Clown]

I understand completely where you're comming from when sympathising with Asuka. Heck, I think her story is far deeper than any of the characters, and you only get a glimps of it at the very end, with her mother hanging herself and all of her conflicts with her other parents.

And both Shinji and Asuka seem to develop the same traits near the end as where they pilot Eva for the praise of others, and when Asuka looses her piloting ability, she feels useless, and hates shinji even more for out doing her.

And I believe that in the second Rei, there is a bit of humanity in her, during the part where Shinji says that she reminds him of his mother, she blushes, and when she says thanks to Toji and Shinji when they clean her room, and she ponders over her words, them being of gratitude and all.

But I got all of this stuff pretty well figured out, I just want the last two episodes explained to me, especially the end where everyone is congradulating shinji. Even kaji, and he dies. Which was the saddest part of the shopw gfor me, because Kaji is one of the coolest characters in the series.
