I watched the individual episodes of the tv version again and sincere for you, the thoughts in my mind are as follows:
1. In the episode where Shinji Ikari melted, Shinji Ikari won the first place in the mock test that day. Asuka spoke to Ayanari in the women's locker room in a very exaggerated tone ("Sir Shinji"), but Ayanari ignored her. After Ayanari left, Asuka punched the wall. (This should be the beginning of "Shinji-sama" that Asuka mocked, can it be understood that this is the beginning of Asuka's anxiety? After Ayanami left, Asuka slammed a fist on the wall, and Asuka was really annoyed that Ikari Shinji was better than her Not really? In the episode where Asuka and Ikari Shinji kill monsters at the same time, Asuka says to Ikari Shinji "I'm going to let Misato and Ayanari know how good I am" (probably). I think that here and below Asuka All kinds of "provocations" in front of Ayanami are actually asking for Ayanari's attention and "letting her know how good I am".)
Later, Shinji Ikari was sucked away by the black hole monster, and Misato asked Asuka and Ayanami to rescue him. Asuka said, "Fool, what's the use of getting the first place in the mock test", and then Misato asked them to retreat. Li said no. (It is obvious here that Asuka has the idea of continuing to save Shinji Ikari, but Rei Ayanami said it first. The phrase "idiot" can be understood as worrying more about Shinji Ikari than gloating over Shinji's situation. Because After coming out like this, Asuka can no longer consider that Ikari Shinji is better than her (although you did better in the exam than me, but you lost in the actual battle), or the unease caused by Ikari Shinji being stronger than her is eliminated. Well, thinking about the situation purely from her friendship with Ikari Shinji.)
Later, Asuka spoke to Rei Ayanari in a very exaggerated tone, saying that Shinji Ikari was stupid, and Rei Ayanari glared at her, and then Asuka was startled, her face was in the shadows, only eyes and mouth, she said "Are you so unhappy when you hear someone speak ill of Shinji?" (Compared to the last time Asuka talked nonsense in front of Ayanami, is the starting point the same? In fact, she was very worried, so why did she speak ill of Ikari Shinji in front of Ayanami Rei? When Ayanami Rei stared at Asuka, Asuka was in a state of sluggishness, "What's the matter?" Ayanami Rei would have such a big reaction. Asuka's second reaction was, "Are you so unhappy to hear someone speak ill of him?" What does half of the face in the shadow mark? Combined with the time when Asuka collapsed completely behind, I saw Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami on the platform, and said, "It's been a month, and now it's fine" and "I didn't expect to lose to someone like you." Does it mean that Asuka has always been concerned about the relationship between Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami? kindness?)
Then Ayanami asked: What are you using eva for? (classic problem)
At this time, Asuka's face is fully revealed (there is no shadow) Asuka said: I can praise myself for myself (or something like that, can't remember)
(I can praise myself, on the surface, it is a very positive statement, but whether it can be combined with what Asuka said later, "I don't want my father and mother, I have to rely on myself", the reaction is actually a kind of morbid Asuka. The concept of self-independence and the hidden "look at me" behind it?)
2. In the twenty-two episodes of Asuka's spiritual pollution, I really understood the artistic value of repetition once again. When Asuka was positioning herself, she played "I'm Asuka, are you an idiot? Chance" about four or five times, with different tones, accompanied by the sound of broken glass and Asuka's original voice "This is not me". One is that this repetitive form has a very absurd and dramatic effect, which I like very much. Second, when analyzing the effect of such expressions, we can actually draw the conclusion that "Asuka's self-recognition is also vague". In the analysis of many Evangelion, Asuka is often a person with very clear self-positioning and goal management, showing a relatively complete self-awareness. But just as Ikari Shinji said in the episode of Melting, "There are two Ikari Shinji, the one in your eyes and the one in others' eyes, and these two Ikari Shinji are both Ikari Shinji", the integrity of the personality is not It only depends on the integrity of the individual's subjective consciousness, or it can be said that the positive/negative responses of others to the individual help the individual to form self-awareness (a clear example is that Kaike explained that the sun is very small, then Asuka is in his heart. Adding or strengthening the concept of being small, so there will be "Look at me, I'm not small"/"At least I won't be like you when I grow up..."), and Asuka's lack of response from others Self-awareness is actually unclear. Again, Asuka lacks other people's responses because she doesn't actively seek connections/responses with others, combined with the above "I don't want both father and mother".
