*** People keep repeating that as a fact even though most prefectures have long since moved the age of consent to 15 or 16. But it's not like Kaji would be in trouble anyway; Shinji clearly manages to take a joke after the initial shock, and Kaji doesn't so much as touch him anyway.

Shinji may have not be aware that he was dooming the human race with his attempt to save Rei, but he outright says that he doesn't care about anything in the world, only to get Rei back.
