At the end of the second episode "Sincerely For You", Asuka and Shinji lie on the seaside of LCL together, but I always wonder, is this Asuka the one who survived? It is indeed Asuka from the outside, but is it just the soul of Asuka on the inside?

Asuka's pupils are icy blue, but the last Asuka's pupils are dark brown and red, more like Misato's pupil color; the bandage on her face is the first time Shinji saw the serious injury of Zero hour.

From the perspective of words and deeds, Shinji's neck was tightly strangled but he didn't struggle, his indifferent face and expressionless were zero reactions from beginning to end; reaching out to touch Shinji's face with a soothing nature was what Misato would do; Disgusting" is what Asuka would say in the phrase.

I think that when Shinji entered the sea of ​​life with a synchronization rate of 400%, the figures of Misato, Asuka and Zero appeared alternately, tempting Shinji to merge into one.

These three women have an ambiguous relationship with Shinji, which is a very important existence to Shinji, so is it possible that the three souls merged in the end? The more you think about it, the more exciting it becomes, the more terrifying you become!
