History Fanfic / LastChildOfKrypton

* AmazonChaser: [[TheHero Shinji]] [[HeroesWantRedheads loves and is drawn to]] [[FieryRedhead Asuka]], who [[spoiler:IS an [[Franchise/WonderWoman Amazon]]]] and is one of the few persons in the planet who rivals [[Franchise/{{Superman}} him]] in strength, speed and fighting capabilities.

* HeroesWantRedheads: One of the first things Shinji noticed about Asuka was her beautiful red hair.
-->''Her auburn hair was like the sunset,''

* BridgeBunnies: Maya, Shigeru and Aoba are NERV's Bridge Bunnies. In chapter 4 they are seen performing MissionControl when Ramiel arrives at Tokyo-3.

* HurtingHero: Shinji's mother died when he was four and his father abandoned him. As he grew up he found out he had powers he could use to help other people. Throughout the history he fights {{Eldritch Abomination}}s to protect his new family. He gets punched, burnt, blasted to the Moon… he sees his family and friends getting hurt…

* TheHero: Shinji. Thanks to the obligations and responsibilities his vast powers entail he matures and becomes a symbol of hope, courage and determination.

* WhipItGood: Shamshel has two cutting light whips. During their battle its whips [[spoiler:rammed through Asuka’s robot and coiled around its head and squeezed, and Asuka felt them both crushing her throat and burning her face.]]

* TheyDo:
** After several weeks of doubts, fears and self-denial (on Asuka's part), Shinji and Asuka kiss. Then Shinji reveals that [[spoiler:he is Franchise/{{Superman}}]] and he likes her. They got together right afterwards.
** In the rewrite they got together after Asuka got over Kaji and acknowledged she liked Shinji. Feeling lonely, she tried to seduce him. Shinji stopped her, arguing that he did not want to take advantage of her when she was feeling vulnerable... but he liked her back. They became a couple from that time on.

* BareYourMidriff: When Asuka becomes [[spoiler:the next Wonder Woman]] she rips parts of her plugsuit off, leaving her arms, legs, and stomach bare.

* EverythingIsBetterWithPenguins: Pen Pen makes many scenes funnier. Some examples:
** Seeing Misato’s fridge stocked with beer and junk food bothered Shinji so that he threw the junk food away and blamed it on the penguin.
** In TheStinger the penguin is lounging in a hot spring, surrounded by beautiful ladies, and declares he was behind everything the whole time and it went just as planned.

'''Asuka''': "You want me to…"\\

* ShesGotLegs: Shinji meets Asuka in chapter 2. During her first meeting, one of the first things he noticed about her were her very nice legs.
-->''He did his best to keep his eyes off Asuka, and he failed totally. Misato's description of her was a pale reflection, like the light of the moon in the ripples across a pond. She wore a yellow sundress and a ribbon at her pale throat and crossed long, supple legs in front of her.''

* ArmorPiercingSlap: In chapter 12, Asuka is so angry at Shinji for risking his life only to save her she slaps him before performing a tackle-kiss double combo.
-->''He stood there for a minute, looking at her. She was inscrutable, her arms crossed beneath her chest. He was stunned by her speed when she slapped him. It actually stung. He touched his cheek in surprise.''

* SuperFic

[[TheHero Shinji Ikari]] is summoned to Tokyo-3 by [[AbusiveParents his father Gendo]]. However [[ParentalSubstitute Misato]]'s car gets knocked over by the shockwave of a [[NuclearWeaponsTaboo N2 mine]], preventing them from reaching the [[HomeBase Geofront]] in time for Shinji [[FallingIntoTheCockpit getting into the]] [[HumongousMecha giant robot]] and fighting [[{{Robeast}} Sachiel]], forcing [[EmotionlessGirl Rei]] to sortie despite being badly wounded.

To her complete shock and disbelief a [[FlyingBrick flying, super-strong stranger]] comes along, saves her from getting killed and defeats the [[{{EldritchAbomination}} Angel]] with his bare fists before flying away.

Later Misato and Shinji arrive at the Geofront, but Shinji cannot synchronise with [[HumongousMecha Unit 01]] for some reason, leading Gendo to summon [[{{Tsundere}} Asuka]] [[FieryRedhead Langley]] [[AcePilot Sohryu]] to Tokyo-3 and send his son away again. Misato though pities Shinji and takes him in together with Asuka.

''Last Child of Krypton'' by Tropers/{{Chuckman}} is a ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' SuperFic that has an interesting premise: What if Shinji Ikari was ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''? The answer is a story that seamlessly combines elements of the Superman mythos with the setting and story of Evangelion, eventually becoming a FusionFic of sorts, in which more characters and elements of the DC universe are integrated into the plot.

Compare and contrast with ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'', another story where an Eva character gains Superman powers, and with ''Fanfic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K'', ''Fanfic/GodsAngelsAndKings'', ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'' and ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'', other {{Crossover}} fics where Shinji becomes a badass and/or gains powers due to circumstances that change his personality profoundly and turn him into TheHero... or an AntiHero.

* AbusiveParents: Shinji’s father abandoned him shortly after his mother’s death. After ten years Gendo summoned him and Shinji thought his father wanted to see him…but when Shinji failed to synch with an Evangelion, he sent him back without even saying one word to Shinji. And then you have the “I’ll hurt your little girlfriend or use kryptonite on you if you get in the way” parts…
* AMechByAnyOtherName: The Evangelions, humongous half-biological robots. Ritsuko calls them “artificial humans”. Touji’s sister calls them “big robots”.

* AlienNonInterferenceClause: [[DefiedTrope Defied ''hard'']] by [[spoiler: Jor-El, who specifically chose Earth to send the rocket to ''because'' they need the most interference.]]

** [[spoiler: [[{{Franchise/Martian Manhunter}} J'onn J'onzz]] also plays this trope straight when he communicates with Shinji on the Moon]].

* AmazonianBeauty: After becoming [[spoiler:''Franchise/WonderWoman'' -or ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' if you are reading the rewrite]] Asuka is brawnier, more muscular, and still gorgeous. When Shinji saw her he thought she looked even more beautiful.
* AncientConspiracy: Several characters [[spoiler:such like Kaji or even Gendo]] warn Shinji he is getting involved in an ancient ploy people very powerful and very dangerous have spent a long time scheming.
* AndManGrewProud: In the first chapter of the rewrite a recording of [[spoiler:Kal-El]] reveals Shinji the Kryptonian civilization died because they grew too proud, tampered with beings too great for them and doomed their civilization to a slow death by sterilization.

-->'''Asuka''':''"Why? You flew into that thing, what, to come after me? You could have ''died''. Why would you do that? How could you be so ''stupid''?"''

-->'''Asuka''':''"Quit being such a doormat,"''\\
'''Shinji''':''"Sorry,"''\\
'''Asuka''':''"Stop apologizing all the time. That's the first rule."''

* ArmorPiercingSlap: In chapter 12 Asuka is so angry at Shinji for risking his life only to save her she slaps him before performing a tackle-kiss double combo.

* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: Deconstructed. After being defeated, [[spoiler:Darkseid]] says this line... and [[spoiler:Rei's reply]] demolishes him, retorting as long as there is a [[spoiler:Darkseid,]] there will be a Superman to fight him.
-->'''Rei''':''Look at you. The final crisis has come and gone. You are dead, but refuse embrace your end."''\\
[[spoiler:'''Darkseid''':]]''"It doesn't matter, [...] so long there is evil, there will be a place for [[spoiler:Darkseid."]]''\\
'''Rei''':''"So long as there is a [[spoiler:Darkseid]], [...] there will be a Superman to oppose him."''
* AttackItsWeakPoint: When Shinji was fighting Sachiel, he heard Rei whispering: “Destroy the red core”. He started to punch the core right away until it cracked.

** Subverted with Shinji. Asuka thinks this is the ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'''s [[spoiler:-a. k. a. Shinji-]] motivation to perform heroic deeds, but later she learns he simply does not want to see people hurt.
** Played straight with Asuka. Due to deep childhood trauma she yearns for someone else’s attention in order to convince herself she is worth of something.
*** In chapter 2 she expected being met by a huge reception at the airport, not knowing Misato wanted everything low key. Kaji was gradually letting her down during the whole flight so that she did not get angry.

* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: After [[spoiler:Gendo almost got his best friend killed during the Bardiel disaster]] Shinji resolves to stop Gendo and rallies several of his friends. Kaji is against it because he thinks that fighting Gendo there and now is a bad, dumb idea, and he thinks Shinji is being too impulsive and hasty, but he joins them anyway. Unfortunately[[spoiler: Gendo was prepared for their arrival, their assault failed, and Maya lost an arm.]] Later Kaji rebuked Shinji for its impulsiveness.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: After spending one or two chapters arguing, Asuka accidentally sees Shinji berating his friends for taking pictures of her and selling them, and she is moved. Later he is not in their apartment so that she goes out to find him, the whole time telling herself she is not looking for him.

* BadassBookworm: He also knows German and it is implied that he reads about a wide variety of subjects.

* BareYourMidriff: When Asuka becomes [[spoiler:the next Wonder Woman]] she rips parts of her plugsuit off, leaving her arms, legs and belly bare.

-->'''Shinji''':''"Hi, I'm Shinji Ikari, and I can breathe in space?"''
* BattleCouple: Shinji and Asuka. He is Franchise/{{Superman}}. She is [[spoiler:Franchise/WonderWoman.]] And their enemies are ''screwed''.

* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Shinji is capable of tossing armed thugs around and crushing gigantic monsters easily. Figuring out his feelings for Asuka and spitting them out is hard.

* BlueIsHeroic: Shinji wears iconic Superman’s blue outfit.

* ReverseMole: Kaji worked for SEELE and NERV, but he was secretly working for a third party that intended to destroy both organizations.

* JerkassFacade: In the second chapter, during a flight Kaji ponders that Asuka's bluster, arrogance and smugness is nothing but a façade to protect herself. Later he says Shinji she is not a bad girl but she acts like one to hide she is in reality very fragile.

* HelloNurse: As soon as Asuka started going to Shinji’s school, Shinji’s male classmates became obsessed with her.

* PowerPerversionPotential: Shinji has –among other powers- X-ray vision, telescopic vision, super speed… however he makes a conscious effort to not use them in improper ways. So, when Asuka is taking a shower and getting dressed in their apartment he is careful to look anywhere but at the space she would occupy.

* IAmWho: In chapter 16, [[spoiler:Diana reveals Asuka that]] she is an Amazon.

* BulletCatch: An exaggerated example. [[spoiler: When Mad Hatter attempts to assassinate the UN Council by having security guards fire assault rifles into the room, Shinji manages to catch [[{{Crowning Moment of Awesome}} ALL of the bullets]], also grabbing the guns for good measure.]]
