Due to a lack of maternal love as a child, Shinji has been unable to understand the meaning of happiness; as a result, whenever he attempts to create something, he will also work hard to destroy it with his own hands; this is where his psychological problem lies. Other women look for the emptiness that a mother's love lacks. Later, taking the scene where he wanted to strangle Asuka as an opportunity, Shinji/Anno Hideaki was going to destroy everything in this animation.
In Anno Hideaki's view, Evangelion's work is, after all, just a "dream" created by him to escape reality. Temporary safe haven. And the dream will eventually wake up one day. Opening his eyes, Anno Hideaki attempts to bring us back to the real world. In this real society, there is no Third New Tokyo City, there are only noisy crowds and lonely individuals in the crowd. Audiences, can you understand this and wake up from your dreams? Can you understand the gap between the reality of others and your own? Hideaki Anno let the voice actors of the three heroines in the animation appear and told the audience not to be immersed in the "dream" of the animation he made up and face the real world bravely , to leave the world where people made up by oneself will not hurt each other, leave the hypocritical world where the existence of self and others is ambiguous, leave the fragile world that wraps one's "true heart" layer by layer.
At least, Shinji took this step. Shinji finally grew up at the end. After leaving his mother and completing the "completion" of his personality, the new Shinji left the dream and returned to the real world. From avoiding conflict with others, to facing conflict with others. You must understand that the so-called growth is to face the conflicts and contradictions between yourself and others alone; learn to grow up, learn to hurt each other, and learn to depend on each other. Because for any person, there will be a mutual, let you say the sentence I NEED YOU.
