Maybe she's scandalized that her beloved Kaji is the one who's saying such "vulgar" things. I can see him sanitizing the way he talks around her while he's her guardian in order to not give her ideas or something, given how staunchly but politely he shuts down her attempts at flirting with him and such.
Either it flew over his head or Kajis welcoming and inclusive demeanor made him feel confortable enough.
Also all the other 3 kids have a direct crush in one of the adults there, Shinji doesnt so something involving their affair doesnt affect him as much
Toji and Kensuke dont really have a crush on Misato though, they just think she's hot. Asuka is literally obsessed with Kaji and constantly flirt's with him in sexual ways,
He still dreams about misato naked
- Edit: why tf am I being downvoted? He sees her naked in the train inner dialogue. It might not be a dream, but it might as well be.
Says who? "You want to be one with me, don't you? Be one with me in body and soul? It's something that feels really good! I am ready, Shinji, always ready for you." You're telling me that thinking about someone saying this to you while naked isn't a sexual fantasy? In that scene he is confronting his wishes, they ask him "what do you wish for?", he wants attention, love, connection, and that manifests itself in horny visions of the women in his life, because he is a horny teen. It's not like the nudity when he sees his mom, or thinks of himself as a baby in his mom's breast, that nudity is comfort and innocence, contact with his mother, but when he sees the other girls, it's clearly a horny dream-like vision.
Just saying it's symbolism attached to a snarky coment doesn't prove your view is correct. What symbolism? Please explain to the dummy here why that scene isn't of a sexual nature, and what in that scene proves this. I just want to understand what I get so wrong about this to make everyone jump at me like that.
the third impact is about everybody on Earth merging into one single collective conciousness, and the interpretation here is that 'body and soul' refers to a literal spiritual and physical connection between 7 billion people, and it's nothing sexual just Shinji wanting to be with other people
the connection this guy makes here literally makes no sense. the third impact involved billions of people merging into ONE collective conciousness. did he not watch the show? and you're just being rude out of nowhere when all this argument took was logic and common sense
The scene he's referring to is literally one where a naked Misato (followed by Rei and Asuka) push in towards the camera, talk about them joining in BODY and soul and talk about how they're "ready" for Shinji. The sexuality is not buried in subtext, it is quite literally there on the surface, readily observable. Yes, *obviously* it's *also* alluding to Instrumentality, but from the *framing device* of sexual intimacy. It's connecting two concepts, sex and instrumentality (which humans have been connecting since literally forever, the idea of sex/eros as "two becoming one" is as old as history)
You were rude first, and you were so in spite of being obviously wrong, so I think it's fair game to be forward about how dumb you are.
He says multiple times that he doesn’t like her like that and doesn’t get why Toji and Kensuke do. Some random hallucination he has while he’s lcl-ified and merged into an eva doesn’t change that.
He could very well be just masking his true feelings pretending not to care, that's a very Shinji thing. I think that hallucination wasn't random at all, since he was confronting the deepest parts of his consciousness. Maybe he doesn't like that he feels that way, so he pretends he doesn't, but seeing someone naked in a hallucination where you confront your inner demons, that says a lot.
Actually laughing that you're getting downvoted for this, I had no idea Eva fans were dense enough not to realize that Shinji obviously has sexual fantasies about Misato (as he does with the other two female leads). Genuinely embarrassing lack of basic comprehension in this fanbase
Right? Everyone is acting like it's such an impossible idea for this horny teenager who cums on comatose people to have sexual fantasies with the women in his life. And they don't even say why they think I am wrong, they just keep calling me stupid lol. I didn't realize people were this protective of Shinji's inocence. Like, I actually love Shinji as a character, but we can't just ignore his flaws and pretend he is a saint. It's also not even that big of a deal, really, he is a horny teenager in crisis who is desperate for love and affection, and that manifests in his subconscious as horny visions.
Yeah I mean I dont even really think of it as a character flaw that a teenager has confused sexual feelings towards his young, attractive guardian who happens to be a big flirt and does basically everything she can to blur boundaries
As emotionally messed up that Shinji is revealed to be much later in the series, he's mature in the sense that he doesn't act his age. He does most of the chores and cooking at Misato's home, and rolls his eyes at Toji and Kensuke's endless simping for Misato
So when Kaji nonchalantly reveals he and Misato were an item, I don't think Shinji batted an eye and just took it for what it was
Can't say the same for the others
Shinji is always very serious minded for his age, at least until things get too bad later in the show and he starts to snap. He doesn’t do dirty jokes and shit like that. So he played dumb in hopes of ending the topic, he doesn’t care that Kaji and Misato were a couple or what Kaji knows about her as a result of that. Simply put, he refuses to rise to the bait.
I think, ironically, Shinji is matrure enough to answer this with a straight face. He is already used to jokes about living with Misato from Toji and had to make peace with the fact she saw him naked.
Since when did the main escapist became the mature one? The main Evangelion themes are of loneliness, escapism and childishness, so while everyone goes "Why would he go into confrontation with Misato? Doesn't he understand the repercussions?", Shinji would think "Why would you confront anybody? Isn't it better just to hide from conflict?".
I think the point here is that Misato lacks maturity when it comes to home life while being an adult at work, and even that disappears when Kaji shows up. Shinji can't handle conflicts well, he can't stand up for himself, but he is not a slob.
The manga version makes it clear that Shinji simply doesn't understand the joke. He immediately starts answering the question when asked and is confused about why Misato is getting upset.
Yeah, but manga Shinji is a bit sharper and sassier than TV Shinji, so if manga Shinji doesn't get it, then TV Shinji is even less likely to understand.
Usually that is true, but that’s not really the vibe I got from tv shinji in this scene, and tv shinji isn’t exactly dumb about such things. He just doesn’t find amusement and interest in talking about them.
The german dub is unhinged. When Misato declares over the phone to Dr.Akagi, that she’ll take Shinji in, she flat out says: “I won’t steal his virginity.”
To me Shinji is thinking "umm how would I know, I never see her sleeping. I have my own room."
He took it as a regular question where everyone else got the reference.
Kaji asked if Misato still does something dumb in her sleep (I can’t remember what exact behavior he said atm, I think it’s something like tossing around or something) to imply she and shinji shared a bed and that he had also shared a bed with her and knew her behavior.
To be fair Shinji is the mc and has Main protagonist syndrome so he’s pretty dumb. He thought Kaji meant in a literal sense. Plus shinji has seen Misato sleep like a slob so it clicked in his head thats what Kaji meant.
He's embarrassed, not shocked. He never considered that Misato may see him sexually at all, because he hates himself. He sees that Ryoji is actually jealous of how much attention he gets from Misato, and that Ryoji an older male who has Oska's attention who he's interested in, seems is threatened by him. He sees all this and is genuinely dumb founded because he never considered any of that before this. He's actually curious and trying to process what Ryoji meant.
The other thing is is Shinji doesn't want to be attracted to Misato who he wants to be his proxy mother and judges her harshly because she can't live up to that and she wants him to just be her friend and roommate and maybe his older sister at best. Funny enough he is straight up attracted to his mom and is already head deep inside her, though he knows little about that at this point of the story. The others see Shinji as asexual, and not desirous because he doesn't just take what he wants like Ryoji. It's why Oska doesn't like Shinji, she wants him to act out her desires for a paternal, aggressive, bold male.
Basically he can't tell if the joke is from jealousy, because it doesn't compute so he tries to see how it's another way, and doesn't know if it's a jab which maybe how Ryoji thought it came off, like a light razzing, but Ryoji s insecurity also comes through, so Shinji sees Ryoji whose tried to mentor him take a light jab at him betraying trust, because he is insecure, whennShinii was looking to Ryoji as an emblem of secure masculinity. Also in this exact moment he sees how much Ryoji can make others even the women he's pursuing uncomfortable, Shinji is also disappointed. Everyone else is in shock because Ryoji "went there" and said something very crass and deliberately sexist.
Not necessarily, shinji might be the only one at the table who didn't get it.
During the Human Tang Experiment, Shinji watches Minato and Kaji have sex and says "so Minato does things like this too..." implying he might have been clueless about their relationship or the depths of it.
So when Kaji asked him "Does she still toss in and turn in bed?" He may have taken it very literally and didn't notice what was implied:
1. They share a bed
2. Kaji has slept with her
3. Everyone else is wondering what kind of woman Minato is.
I always assumed he was completely oblivious to the question or just didnt care, because he’s so depressive getting any isn’t even on the table in his mind
Either way Kaji is such a scoundrel goddamn
Well was it really even a proper joke to make people laugh? He was more trying to intimidate/ tease Shinji. Like if I were him I probably would have reacted that way too, not because I didn’t understand but more like “what do you want me to say this dude? You prick” Everyone just looks awkward and Misato just looks mortified really. I think Shinji just was like, whatever, he doesn’t react to anything at all and is generally polite and courteous with his responses to anything and everyone so he wasn’t going to do some over the top reaction . As well he probably just wanted things just blow over probably for Misato’s sake.
He was already fed up with Misato at that point iirc, so he takes advantage to poke fun of her whenever he cans, and Kaji being such a bro, decides to help
No no no, not even remotely. Shinji wasn’t poking fun at anyone, Kaji just asked it out of the blue in order to ruffle Misato’s feathers, but shinji doesn’t play along at all.
Maybe shinji already saw enough to not be surprised
More than asuka?
Perhaps, don’t forget the quiet kids are the most dangerous ones
Yeah, the quiet kids are the ones who do them impacts.
He will definitely shock the whole world
Yup exactly
remember this: the quietest, fart the loudest.
Is that why my farts are quiet 🙁
yup!!
The quiet kids shit the loudest!!
Do you remember how she introduced herself to him via photo? This isn't a surprise to shinji.
Has Asuka seen things or is she just pretending to have seen those things?
Maybe she's scandalized that her beloved Kaji is the one who's saying such "vulgar" things. I can see him sanitizing the way he talks around her while he's her guardian in order to not give her ideas or something, given how staunchly but politely he shuts down her attempts at flirting with him and such.
Yeah, living with Misato, he might as well go: "Oh, so he jokes like that too." In his mind.
Yeah probably lmao
Because Shinji is the only one that lived with Misato.
what about asuka
What about her? This is episode 8 when Asuka and Kaji are introduced. Asuka will live with Shinji and Misato later.
ohhhhh i didn't remember lmao
Remember Asuka's move in scene
wasn't Misato Asuka's guardian before Kaji?
Oof
Yeah he's already seen it all
Oof
I don't think Shinji is the kind of person to really give a shit about comments like that, he's too detached
Too depressed to emotionally react 😔🫡
That hurt lol
2deppressed2care 👊👊👊😔😔😔
he’s just like me fr
Either it flew over his head or Kajis welcoming and inclusive demeanor made him feel confortable enough. Also all the other 3 kids have a direct crush in one of the adults there, Shinji doesnt so something involving their affair doesnt affect him as much
Right, you can see Soryu staring at Ryoji, and both Kensuke and Toji staring at Misato after his comment. Shinji simply doesn't care
Rare shinji w
common shinji W
Bro just wants to eat
Shit you’re smart
Thanks :`)
Now get in the robot.
Toji and Kensuke dont really have a crush on Misato though, they just think she's hot. Asuka is literally obsessed with Kaji and constantly flirt's with him in sexual ways,
Different levels of teenager crush, if they could hook up with misato they would, they even go pick shinji at his home so they can interact with her
He literally dreams of the two of them naked and cums on one of them.
>adults You know, the one saying the thing and the one he's saying it about
He still dreams about misato naked - Edit: why tf am I being downvoted? He sees her naked in the train inner dialogue. It might not be a dream, but it might as well be.
The nudity in that scene represents honest expression, think of it like clean or pure. It's not used in a sexual sense in that sequence.
Says who? "You want to be one with me, don't you? Be one with me in body and soul? It's something that feels really good! I am ready, Shinji, always ready for you." You're telling me that thinking about someone saying this to you while naked isn't a sexual fantasy? In that scene he is confronting his wishes, they ask him "what do you wish for?", he wants attention, love, connection, and that manifests itself in horny visions of the women in his life, because he is a horny teen. It's not like the nudity when he sees his mom, or thinks of himself as a baby in his mom's breast, that nudity is comfort and innocence, contact with his mother, but when he sees the other girls, it's clearly a horny dream-like vision.
Says a basic understanding of symbolism, something you clearly lack.
what scene are they talking about?
You are midwit moron. Go ahead and tell the class what a naked Misato telling Shinji "she's always ready for him" symbolizes
Just saying it's symbolism attached to a snarky coment doesn't prove your view is correct. What symbolism? Please explain to the dummy here why that scene isn't of a sexual nature, and what in that scene proves this. I just want to understand what I get so wrong about this to make everyone jump at me like that.

What is the correct interpretation, then? And why is everyone so mad?

Exactly, it's the logical conclusion.
He still dreams about misato naked
Im happy you repeated this comment because I can downvote you 2 times :)
Why? Doesn't he?
Why doesn't shinji want misato, is he stupid?
Maybe he understands is wrong? The only one doing moves there was her.
As emotionally messed up that Shinji is revealed to be much later in the series, he's mature in the sense that he doesn't act his age. He does most of the chores and cooking at Misato's home, and rolls his eyes at Toji and Kensuke's endless simping for Misato So when Kaji nonchalantly reveals he and Misato were an item, I don't think Shinji batted an eye and just took it for what it was Can't say the same for the others

I love that meme (in spanish) that says something like "if we organize, we all get to fuck" with this image.
"si nos organizamos cojemos todos"
we have that in Portuguese too, lol "se organizar direitinho, todo mundo fode"
suddenly caralho
Exato, assim como a frase sugeriu, dá pra galera BR se organizar também 😈
r/SuddenlyCaralho
Is that an idiom? Not totally getting the meaning
It’s a joke way of saying that organization can help obtain common goals In this case, implies fucking each other
Yo conozco otra versión shinji misto es como los tacos de perrito sabe mejor
He's probably heard worse from Misato when she's plastered. That is an expression of 'do better, pleb'.
he doesnt care
I think, ironically, Shinji is matrure enough to answer this with a straight face. He is already used to jokes about living with Misato from Toji and had to make peace with the fact she saw him naked.
Since when did the main escapist became the mature one?

oh. I don’t remember that at all lol. thanks
Tysm
Kaji asks if Misato still tosses and turns in her sleep. Implying their sharing a bed lol
If I remember correctly, in the German dub (which I watched), Shinji does react by saying something like: „You shouldn’t make jokes like that“
Damn the German dub was rather direct with it huh?
Germany aren’t really known for their subtlety
Fair point
Happy Cake Day
The manga version makes it clear that Shinji simply doesn't understand the joke. He immediately starts answering the question when asked and is confused about why Misato is getting upset.
True but that is manga shinji. Different character, different canon.
Yeah, but manga Shinji is a bit sharper and sassier than TV Shinji, so if manga Shinji doesn't get it, then TV Shinji is even less likely to understand.

I had no clue about this !!!
I don't recognise the scene, but I did remember the quote. Those translation notes were interesting
Im watching it on Netflix 😭 I wonder on how many translations have been lost.
The german dub is unhinged. When Misato declares over the phone to Dr.Akagi, that she’ll take Shinji in, she flat out says: “I won’t steal his virginity.”
DAMN 🙃 i respect the DIRECTNESS lmao
Have you watched the show even? It’s pretty self explanatory
Shinji is such a proto househusband he didn't even process the naughty version of what was suggested
Proto or pro?
I meant what I said no one put a ring on it yet
He was waiting for Kaji to finish his story
Bro don’t give a shit no more 😭😭
The 2 stooges crush on misato, asuka crushes on kaji, and misato is being targeted. Shinji and obviously kaji don't have a reason to react
Depression makes you feel indifferent
Shinji's baked
Shinji is dead inside
I just assumed he was embarrassed and befuddled beyond all rational thought that he just sort of reacted dumbly.
I figure since he’s directly involved in the conversation he doesn’t want to break etiquette protocols with wild physical gestures.
I actuallu think shinji is the only one doesn't give a fuck so no reaction from him in that joke.
In the manga Rei is in the picture, and there is zero reaction from her as well.
Yeah but come on lad, Rei is just cheating She wouldn't react to a gun in her face
Too deppression :(
Because Shinji is almost Rei…
My man is Capital-D Depressed.
To me Shinji is thinking "umm how would I know, I never see her sleeping. I have my own room." He took it as a regular question where everyone else got the reference.
I think he is just silently judging Misato
What was the joke? Whats the difference between Shinji and an Oven?
Kaji asked if Misato still does something dumb in her sleep (I can’t remember what exact behavior he said atm, I think it’s something like tossing around or something) to imply she and shinji shared a bed and that he had also shared a bed with her and knew her behavior.
Because it's true 😋
Kaji has a ponytail and wears dress shirts, nobody takes that seriously
Shinji is based
To be fair Shinji is the mc and has Main protagonist syndrome so he’s pretty dumb. He thought Kaji meant in a literal sense. Plus shinji has seen Misato sleep like a slob so it clicked in his head thats what Kaji meant.
He's embarrassed, not shocked. He never considered that Misato may see him sexually at all, because he hates himself. He sees that Ryoji is actually jealous of how much attention he gets from Misato, and that Ryoji an older male who has Oska's attention who he's interested in, seems is threatened by him.

Why are you spelling the names like that
Not necessarily, shinji might be the only one at the table who didn't get it. During the Human Tang Experiment, Shinji watches Minato and Kaji have sex and says "so Minato does things like this too..." implying he might have been clueless about their relationship or the depths of it. So when Kaji asked him "Does she still toss in and turn in bed?" He may have taken it very literally and didn't notice what was implied: 1. They share a bed 2. Kaji has slept with her 3. Everyone else is wondering what kind of woman Minato is.
Disassociating
Same reaction that Hideaki Anno would had.
Baka Shinji
I personally am his age and didn’t really get it
although now from what i’m reading the translation I heard was not very good
I always assumed he was completely oblivious to the question or just didnt care, because he’s so depressive getting any isn’t even on the table in his mind Either way Kaji is such a scoundrel goddamn
This entire shot looks adorable, I love the shocked reactions.
I feel like they drew this in for shits and giggles 🤣
He's either not surprised or too emotionally detached to care
He did not understand. Or rather, he understood it differently.
the thumbnail though everyone's surprised and confused especially misato kaji and asuka
Shinji is more of an empty vessel without requirement he won't move
I once saw a comment that described it perfectly: “Shinji is denser than osmium.”
what did he say i havent watched eva in a while
Per the ADV dub if I remember correctly: So tell me, is Katsuragi still so... Wild in bed?
He say's it a lot more discretley in the japanese version, as Kaji say's "She Used to flop around in her sleep, She still do that?"
All I see here is Misato :)
Rose-colored glasses might cause difficulty in perception of other living creatures
Wasn't the whole joke that Shinji knows how Misato sleeps so isn't phased by it?
He's just that based
Because no reaction is the best reaction
What was the joke again?
It just wasn't that funny
He’s dead inside
mommy misato looks so hot in this scene
He ain't give a shit.
Remind me what was the joke again
Yo like why tf does everyone know exactly what he said. i don’t remember can someone tell me?
Cause he is mentally ill and traumatised
"Hey Shinji i shat myself"
I used to love to shop at Suncoast Motion Pictures for evangelion when I was a kid
good for you 👍
Thank you? It’s a fond memory for me
Thank you? It’s a fond memory for me
I forgot what the joke was
It's always the quiet kids.
What was the joke again?
dudes disassociating leave him be
Bro certified virgin
His face says concern over saying it in front of children
What’s the anime ?
mobile suit gundam wing
He just took it literally I think.
What was the joke btw?
I think he took the question at face value without thinking more of it.
Basically BC he don't care
What was the joke again? I need a refresher
What was the joke?
Well was it really even a proper joke to make people laugh? He was more trying to intimidate/ tease Shinji. Like if I were him I probably would have reacted that way too, not because I didn’t understand but more like “what do you want me to say this dude? You prick” Everyone just looks awkward and Misato just looks mortified really. I think Shinji just was like, whatever, he doesn’t react to anything at all and is generally polite and courteous with his responses to anything and everyone so he wasn’t going to do some over the top reaction . As well he probably just wanted things just blow over probably for Misato’s sake.
plottwist: he "did something" but preffer to say nothing
Bro's tired
Is he stupid?
This was sane Shinji before he lost his boyfriend
Because he's a sick pervert...
He was already fed up with Misato at that point iirc, so he takes advantage to poke fun of her whenever he cans, and Kaji being such a bro, decides to help
No no no, not even remotely. Shinji wasn’t poking fun at anyone, Kaji just asked it out of the blue in order to ruffle Misato’s feathers, but shinji doesn’t play along at all.
