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.

1. wakfupersontalk said: Too many viewers treat Asuka like an evil witch instead of the damaged kid she is. All of the pilots are essentially good kids who want to do well so that they can be proud of themselves and because they want love from adults who are too selfish to give it most of the time. It’s one of the core tragedies and themes of the series

    Let’s not forget she invited Rei twice to hang out together. Asuka doesn’t deserve all the hate she gets.
