[Evangelion] Was Shinji-kun the kind of character who would be valued in this kind of comedy?

The only strength of Shinji-kun is that he does what he says he’ll do, right!? Conversely, what else do you have? I see… then let’s do it.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx19

If you skip the entire process, you start off saying you don’t want to do it, but then you end up doing it. Was it really that simple!?

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx39

If you skip various things, it will end up feeling that way…

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

It is a fact that Shinji-kun was valued in the world of comedy.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx57

There’s no way I’m getting on, you old bastard! → If you’re not getting on, I’ll take this clearly injured girl, what do you want to do? → You piece of crap! I’ll get on then!

The flow is kind of like a skit, isn’t it?

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx43

I would like you to not ignore the nuances between “I don’t want to” and “I’ll do it.”

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx25

Thinking about it, there’s actually no reason for Shin-chan to ride in the first episode.

I just felt like I had to get on it because of the atmosphere…

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

This is a story that says it doesn’t want to do it from the very beginning until the old film, but in the end, it does it anyway…

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The old movie’s awful quality is amazing.

The lack of motivation to not actively resist but absolutely not move on their own will is insane.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was an atmosphere that not only reflected Shinji’s inner self but also made it difficult to accept things willingly!

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Basically, they say they don’t like it when girls get involved, but they still do it.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx42

And those adults who can only corner such youth!

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I don’t like the vibe of joking around casually just to make you guys laugh.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx40

I’ve never seen anyone face the legend of Pico Pico Junior High so seriously before…

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re not getting on, then go home.

Don’t mess with me after calling me over! Even Shin-chan would be troubled if I showed up like that!

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I get in an Eva, it’s going to be a huge mess, so I won’t get in anymore…

Even if it ends up like that, you’ll still ride it somehow.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s because if I say no, it will create a situation where people die!

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It’s a scenario where allies are taking hostages to lure out the hero, something enemy characters often do.

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx27

This manga is so properly trash that it actually makes it good for adults.

It’s better than having an attitude like “This is why kids…” while pretending to be an adult.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx23

Pikopiko is making fun of every element with all its might…

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

Both Eva and Rockman are actually good at picking up original elements, aren’t they?

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

Pikopiko doesn’t hide the fact that adults haven’t fully become adults, so children are trying to become independent without expecting anything from adults, which, in a way, shows that communication is happening.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t get on! Absolutely don’t get on!!

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the Zeruel battle, Shinji-kun doesn’t try to approach Eva on his own.

I remember seeing in the pamphlet for “Rebuild of Evangelion” that it was a real struggle to create a storyline where we evacuate them to a shelter close to Eva, have that shelter get destroyed, and then get Kaji (or Mari in the movie) to persuade them…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought Misato would protect me at first, but then she just casually told me to get in the car, Shinji.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s you guys who put us in a situation where we have no choice but to do it, right?!

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since they are the protagonist, it ultimately doesn’t make sense if they don’t ride…

In the old movie version, it seemed like you were just inside the entry plug…

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

I think it’s a really great strength.

Those who use it knowing that are all worthless.

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Even though I dislike it, the fact that I do it is being praised as my only strong point, which feels incredibly complimentary.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

If we lose to the Apostles, there will be no human complementarity or anything else; everyone will just die normally.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t want to, but I’ll do it because it would result in sacrifices or the end of the world.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like Shinji-kun is amazing or something.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

My father seems to have that kind of side to him as well.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

The question is whether you could say yes if you were told to get in a tank and fight Godzilla.

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Well, it’s actually pretty amazing, Shin-chan.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it’s amazing that even the version by Sadamoto, which completely changes the character, is still quite like this.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rather, I have a strong impression that even though I got motivated, I can’t do anything physically.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, if I say it, it’s like the super obvious premise that getting motivated is just a given…

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re not going to ride, then go home.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

What Pico is saying is generally correct, but the way he’s saying it is so blunt and straightforward that it surprises me!

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

You don’t need to know… not yet…

This too?

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was motivated up until Baldiell…

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

The fact that Pikopiko’s Gendo is such a total loser makes it oddly good.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

After Zeruel, it’s my turn to come out!

It’s more like the pattern where you don’t submit leads to more conflicts.

So it’s that experience of being forced to watch your allies die.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rather, the old version has a stronger personal will and a sense of determination that makes it absolutely unwilling to do certain things.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

The annoying Pikopiko Gendo is harmless, so he has relatively become a better adult.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

The AT Field is strong, after all…

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

Misato’s

It’s impossible! → Get on, Shinji!

It feels a bit like a skit.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

The interesting thing about Pico is that it’s not just one of the various releases that came out to match the new play; it’s the serialization between Q and Shin.

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The adults must have been disappointed that Toji, who seemed like he would work efficiently unlike the other troubled ones, ended up falling apart…

Well, it’s already the latter half at that point.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

The town I had been risking my life to protect has vanished, the friends I had let my guard down with have evacuated, the girl I was concerned about has become a frightening presence, and to top it off, I ended up having to kill the person who told me they loved me, so it’s no wonder I’ve reached a breaking point.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because I have a very strong sense of justice, even if I say I don’t want to do it, I end up doing it anyway.

There’s no involvement of adult achievements at all, you know? They put on this vibe of having given a little push, but these guys…

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If it were just a matter of somehow motivating someone who is really saying “I don’t want to” with their own will, that would be one thing.

There are times when I intentionally break someone’s motivation after they start trying to get motivated, just to make them say they don’t want to.

I really feel sorry for Shinji-kun…

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

At the point of the first episode, everything is being decided without Shinji’s knowledge, so he only has the final decision-making power regarding what to do about the Human Instrumentality Project.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

It could be my dad, or Kaji-san, or Kensuke, or Touji.

The words reaching Shinji are all from men.

A woman has to put herself on the line to move Shinji.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

Draw a new Picopico for me.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the new series, Yui worked hard for her husband and child until the end, but the old series Yui was connected to Seele and is quite a problematic character, isn’t she?

Why is an ordinary Kyoto University student involved with a secret society?

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because they don’t even try to hide that they are trash, children have no choice but to rely on adults, and as a result, they become independent.

Adults are also doing as they please, so I can free myself.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

The only place where I grow enough to read what Misato-san is going to do, outsmart her, go home early, lock the door, put on earplugs, and sleep is in the Pico-Pico world.

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The relationship with Asuka is also really good, Pico Pico.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

Look! Gendo is smiling! He’s cute!

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shut up, old man number two!

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

It can’t be denied that the rhythm of Rei rolling in, sensing that someone doesn’t seem too enthusiastic, had a feeling of being set up.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you dislike your son, you should have just said you dislike him…

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shinji-kun, who is a bit childish, can get angry and is somewhat combative, so he’s quite strong.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

In Episode 1, Ayanami’s remarkable performance is electrifying.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

Pikopiko is forced to become independent, so somehow the mental state of all the children is stable (except for Toji).

Kaworu and Rei also have a weird vector, but their mental strength is impressive.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mom wants to leave humanity’s mark with Eva and melts, and Madou pulls everyone into it, the family environment is way too harsh.
