EPISODE 12: The Value of a Miracle Is... /
She Said, Don't Make Others Suffer For Your Personal Hatred!If anyone tries to tell you Asuka isn’t capable of kindness, smack them upside the head.
This is one of my favorite Asuka scenes, because it demonstrates a subtle, oft-neglected part of Asuka’s character that is otherwise highly contested or outright ignored by the fandom. Asuka can be kind. Asuka can be thoughtful – and not just to Shinji, but to Rei and Misato, two individuals whom which Asuka seemingly harbors the most intense and visible resentment towards.
Asuka would rather give up an extravagant steak dinner if it meant that she could enjoy it with Rei, who can’t eat meat by virtue of being a vegetarian. And as it turns out, Misato – and her wallet – is more than grateful for the consideration. Asuka’s knocking out two birds with one stone.
And that is so important.
Asuka is unkind
Asuka has no goodness in her heart
Asuka is a biotch
Asuka is a brat
Asuka is a jerk
Asuka is always shouting at people
Asuka rarely does something right
She needs to be in a group home or something.
Let’s not forget she invited Rei twice to hang out together. Asuka doesn’t deserve all the hate she gets.
