* TrappedInThePast: Subverted. Khnemu was trapped in the past, but he wasn't aware of it -he thought he was merely trapped in another dimension- and he didn't try to change the timeline since he intended to lie low. However his actions -mentoring Shinji Ikari- ''changed'' the past.

* BrickJoke:
** In chapter 7, Shinji and Asuka have the next conversation:
--->'''Asuka:''' Where’s Misato-san?\\
'''Shinji:''' She called while you were in the bathroom to say that she would be at work all night, and, to quote ‘I had better not find out about any hanky-panky when I get home’.\\
'''Asuka:''' (rolling her eyes) Please.\\
'''Shinji:''' (cheekily) Yeah, I mean, it’s like she doesn’t trust me to be smart enough to properly dispose of the evidence.
** Four chapters later:
--->'''Misato:''' Now while I’m gone I don’t want to find out about any hanky-panky between you two.\\
'''Shinji and Asuka''' (in unison) We’ll remember to destroy the evidence.

He plays with other people's emotions and feelings the whole time because it furthers his plans... or because it amuses him greatly. He manipulates everyone, including people he sincerely cares about such like his family and friends. Asuka and Rei find his manipulative ways annoying but they're used to it.

-->'''Shinji:''' Ever since I converted her to Nurgle, Rei has shown great joy in causing things to break down. Ignore her or she will gain immense satisfaction from your annoyance.\\
'''Rei:''' (smiling) Ignore me and it will come back to bite you.\\

* SecretlyWealthy: Investing his combat pay wisely ([[PsychicPowers precognition]] certainly helped to make wise investments) Shinji became very rich in a short period of time. And no one knew how much money he had.
-->Shinji’s net worth had tripled in the past four days, and he was already covertly moving to expand that wealth further still. Money attracted more money, and within another two to three months his income from his investments would start exceeding his income from his NERV salary, to say nothing of his net worth. Within a year he could easily become one of the richest individuals in Japan.\\
And no one would know just how much money he had. Off shore accounts were a wonderful thing.

He's tidier and more organized than his slovenly flatmates -his surrogate mother and his girlfriend- and he likes cleaning because he likes changing and altering his enviroment.
-->Once he had been assigned everything but the laundry, a task that he didn’t particularly care for, he feigned displeasure at having so much to do, and grumbling he began to clean up the table. Inwardly he was overjoyed. This apartment would never be clean if Misato had to do the chores, and the act of cleaning was to change one’s environment, to act against decay and entropy, things that pleased Tzeentch. It was a small thing, but there were small things and big things in life, and the small ones came around more often.

* BeneathTheMask: When Shinji met Asuka, she seemed to radiate confidence, certainty and arrogance. However, he witnessed one of her breakdowns when they were in her mecha's cockpit, and when he probed her mind, he sensed that she was hiding a lot of pain, sorrow and fragility beneath her feigned arrogance.

Those that saw this happen invariably ran screaming when they did not collapse into quivering, vomiting piles of mental trauma. Those that had the misfortune for Rei’s ghostly flesh to pass through them were left gibbering wrecks, their sanity violently and permanently ripped from them by the horrific experience.

'''Asuka:''' Yeah, I graduated last year.\\

'''Asuka:''' I… I… never agreed to this.\\
'''Shinji:''' We rarely agree to the things that hurt us. So either defeat me, prove that you are worthy of keeping your pain secret, or show some honour in defeat and give me that which I ask.\\
'''Asuka:''' ...\\
'''Shinji:''' TELL ME!\\
'''Asuka:''' Momma died!\\
'''Shinji:''' So? Everyone in our class at school has a dead mother. Including me.

--> “It is not his style to leave the execution of something like this to a subordinate like that. He might never get his hands dirty, but he wants to be there to watch.”\\

Added DiffLines:

* BerserkButton:
** Asuka has several buttons. Calling her useless or a doll is downright suicidal. But if you hurt Shinji or try to seduce him, pray for a quick death.
** Shinji is usually controlled. However, if you make a fool of him, he gets furious. If you hurt his family he gets homicidal.


Added DiffLines:

* BetaCouple: Touji and Hikari. Shinji played matchmaker for them, and they used to spend time with the Alpha Couple (Shinji and Asuka).

* AbusiveParents: Gendo becomes more abusive than in canon. Rather ignoring his son, he set to break him because he needed him meek and easily manipulable. One of his worst actions was [[spoiler:getting Asuka's best friend killed because it'd hurt Asuka, and Asuka being hurt would hurt Shinji.]]



* AccidentalPervert: When Shinji and Asuka set to fighting Gaghiel, Asuka sat in Shinji's lap, and Shinji's body reacted accordingly.



* AngerBornOfWorry: When Asuka nearly blows herself to take out Sandalphon, Shinji got as mad at Asuka that he slapped her.
-->Rather woozy from the adrenaline rush and the heat flush, Asuka totters out of her entry plug only for Shinji to slap her across the face and demand angrily, “What the fuck were you thinking?”\\
“I… I did what I had to do, just like how you blew yourself up to take out Shamshel,” Asuka says in a daze.\\
“It’s called the ‘Shinji Suicide Special’ for a reason,” Shinji points out angrily.\\
Grinning, Asuka replies, “Well they can call it the ‘Soryu Suicide Special’ now.”



* AuraVision: Shinji is capable of seeing souls due to his Tzeentchian training. When he met Asuka, he could see -and taste- her soul before seeing her physically: "She was bright and active and so filled with beautiful rage and pain and confidence and so many delicious emotions to experience."



* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: In the first chapters Shinji and Asuka argued, bickered and fought the whole time. However Shinji wanted to romance her as soon as he met her, he winced when he realized how sad and hurt she was, and he tried to help her to lessen her pain.



* TemptingFate: Gendo thinks his son is obviously too broken to make anything but sitting beside her comatose girlfriend's bed and praying, and his beliefs are proof of Shinji's weakness. A short while later [[poiler:his plans had been completely ruined by his son turned into a very pissed-off god.]]

to:

* {{Tsundere}}: Asuka.
Asuka behaved like an angry, rude child to hide her frightened, sad true self. However, Shinji reached out to her and suggested her saving her rage for the Angels. From that point on, Asuka started opening up to him, and showing her softer side openly.

continued to rage, a dam within having burst. Everything has to die! Die for your sins! Die! Die like momma died! Die and leave me alone! Always alone! Die!



-->'''Shinji:''' Hey, why the sour face? Forget to drink your prune juice this morning?\\
'''Asuka:''' No, just wondering how this country ever became important when it’s filled with morons like you.\\
'''Shinji:''' Oh, you wound me. And I think you got a little collateral damage on you there.\\
'''Asuka:''' I’m a quarter Japanese, and I was raised in Germany. I think I took minimal splash.\\
'''Shinji:''' Ah, so the Übermensch German sides overwhelm the barbarian Japanese side?\\
'''Asuka:''' Can you cut it out with the Nazi jokes?\\
'''Shinji:''' But they’re so easy! Come on, throw an Imperial Japan joke. Hell, I haven’t even tried to throw out any weird German fetish jokes cause I know you’ll have way too much tentacle demon material to work with.\\
'''Asuka:''' Oh? You know about German porn do you? Pervert.\\
'''Shinji:''' I walked into that one.\\
'''Asuka:''' You set yourself up for that one.\\
'''Shinji:''' I see no contradiction between our statements.

to:

-->'''Asuka:''' You… you only pretend to be a kid. You’re stronger than me.\\
'''Shinji:''' Alright, no more of this morose bullshit Asuka. Do you want to know why I’m always so damned strong? Because when I was four, my mother died and my father just fucking abandoned me. The day after the worst day of my life, he just said, ‘Fuck you son, your mother’s dead now so I’m not going to bother acting like a man, I’m just going to send you on your merry way’. After that, I had a choice: break or become stronger than the fuck head that did that to me.\\
'''Asuka says:''' So you got stronger.\\
'''Shinji:''' No, I broke! I was four! The age of four isn’t categorized by robust emotional strength, its categorized by insecurities and crying. You were the one who decided to get strong, not me.
