Nagisa Kaoru's Trinity

Shane 2022-04-21 09:02:34

Nagisa Kaoru, the seventeenth apostle, the angel of freedom, the last apostle that mankind will face. As an apostle, Nagisa is a man who is bound to die, a lover, and a gay man. These three and Nagisa Kaoru can be said to be in a trinity relationship, but this is their own rebellion against God. Death, Nagisa Kaoru will inevitably die, whether it is contact with Adam or being destroyed by humans, Nagisa Kaoru has no choice, and ultimately leads to death. The opposite is true for God who is immortal in the vertical world, although it can be said to go to immortality from a certain situation after Adam's contact, but this is still the destruction of the apostle himself. That's why Nagisa said: "The only and inevitable freedom is death." This is Nagisa's destiny, and it is also why Misato said Nagisa has no desire to survive, because he can only lead to destruction. Lover, Nagisa Kaoru is a lover, he loves Shinji, or Nagisa Kaoru himself loves human beings. He was the character who made a clear confession to Shinji, the character who blushes when Shinji first met. And God, as an existence without sorrow or joy, is obviously an act against God. Nagisa Kaoru's heart wall was broken by Shinji, which means that Nagisa Kaoru's love for Shinji put down his guard. So in the end, Nagisa chose to let Shinji survive. Only the selected individuals have the right to survive. This is the proof of "I may have been born to meet you", and it is Nagisa's freedom to die as an angel of freedom. For gay men, Hideaki Anno says that Kaoru Nagisa is Shinji's gay love interest, making this point unquestionable. And homosexuality is anti-traditional, has transcended the age-old debate of the male and female positions of Adam and Lilith, and is directly gay, gay. Men act as both "males" and "females", males are both "superior", and males are "below", thus completely rebelling against tradition. Just like the great French playwright Jean Genet in the Holy Trinity of "Saint Genet" has "gay men". Death, love, homosexuality, the three made Nagisa's transformation from an apostle to freedom, and the choice of these three is Nagisa's freedom. Because of this, Nagisa Kaoru is also the most humane and wise man among the apostles, a young man who met Shinji on Nagisa, the land and sea where people and the apostles meet.
