* ActionSurvivor: There's no indication that he has any combat training to speak of, yet he managed to survive the chaos unfolding across the planet and even knock out or kill some of Washington's troops before the Challengers arrived.
* AlternateSelf: Much like his wife is implied to be an alternate version of Asuka Langley Soryu, Shin is implied to be an alternate version of Shinji Ikari. This also makes him an alternate version of Lambda, which allows the Nomad to possess him.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Shin hears that Washington tried to kill Aska, he gains grey ColorCodedSpeech for a single line, and his voice is described as sounding oddly familiar to the Champions. This hints at his connection to Lambda long before it was made explicit.
* HappilyMarried: With Aska. The two clearly care deeply for one another and would do anything to keep each other safe.
* MrExposition: He provides the Challengers with some much-needed information about the horrors facing them on several occasions.
* TheVoice: Thanks to being trapped at a dig site on the other end of the planet, Dr. Ikari spends most of the challenge communicating with the Champions through radios. It isn't until the climax that the Challengers meet him in person, subverting the trope.
* WillingChanneler: He allows Lambda to possess his body and act through him at the climax of the challenge, letting the Nomad turn the tide against Yaldabaoth.

* FantasticRacism: The Terran Hegemony in general seems biased against nonhuman lifeforms, but Washington takes it up a notch. He describes aliens as filth and gleefully gloats how Yaldabaoth will cleanse the universe of their "omnipresent taint" once it has been freed.
