I am pretty sure that we don't accept usage of "This Troper" on character pages either.


** {{ThisTroper}} assumed that LCL was supposed to be [[spoiler: amniotic fluid. Since entry plugs are supposed to represent the placenta and the EVA are essentially the individual character's moms.]] Which means lots and lots of {{Squick}}.

* NightmareFetishist: She seems, uh, awfully fond of LCL. While it remains to be seen what role LCL will play in ''Rebuild'', it's difficult not to think of the original series, where it's essentially the blood of Lilith (and smells like it, according to Shinji). It's that and, of course, [[FanNickname Tang]].

Toji, in his first appearance, punches out Shinji because his little sister was injured during Unit 01's fight with Sachiel. However, after experiencing firsthand what Shinji has to go through as an Eva pilot, he becomes sympathetic to Shinji. He has Shinji pay him back with a punch of his own, and he, Kensuke, and Shinji become friends. Later, he is selected as the Fourth Children, only to have his Eva taken over by the Angel Bardiel. During the ensuing battle, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Asuka and Rei are quickly defeated]] by the Angel-possessed Unit 03. Shinji balks at orders to attack, wanting to try to save the pilot, and Gendō orders Unit 01's Dummy Plug to be activated. Out of Shinji's control, Unit 01 [[{{Gorn}} tears Unit 03 apart]], then rips out and crushes the Entry Plug, crippling Toji.

* FridgeLogic: If she has already has a college degree, why is she attending middle school?
** When asked (by Shinji, IIRC), Asuka herself explains it's to practice her Japanese. She attended college in USA, so her Japanese writing level is really bad.

* AntiHero: This, if she isn't a villain. She's closer to a [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes Type III]] (super-cynical / GoodIsNotNice) or Type IV depending on how likeable you find her.
** While not as villainous as Gendou or the guys from SEELE, Ritsuko has more than her fair share of Type V. She just hides it better...most of the time.

She is [[ClingyJealousGirl infatuated with]] Ryōji Kaji, Misato Katsuragi's on-again, off-again boyfriend, and [[TheGlomp throws herself at him again and again]] in an aggressive manner that is, for cultural reasons, quite shocking to the Japanese (and still fairly obsessive and disturbing even in more demonstrative cultures). She initially offers to be friends with Rei because "it would be convenient", but quickly comes to hate her because she perceives Rei as being akin to a doll or puppet, something Asuka harbors a deep hatred for. At first she appears to be a potential [[{{Shipping}} love interest]] for Shinji: there is a comical and clumsy FirstKiss scene between them, and Shinji is one of only two males with whom she ever flirts in the whole series, but [[TheMasochismTango she makes her hostility towards him quite clear]]. She is not the main focus of the program, so her thoughts and feelings are not displayed as much as Shinji's are, but some speculate that she is strongly attracted to the warrior that Shinji becomes [[HeroicResolve when people he cares about are in danger]], but she is also repulsed when the crisis is over and he turns back into the [[LoserGuy meek and neurotic teenage boy]] she despises. This idea appears often in ''NGE'' FanFiction.

FanFiction.]] This is the idea a lot of fans have, at least. However, WordOfGod says that Asuka, in fact, does long for the shy, gentle, and troubled Shinji's love and affections, and is saddened, angered, and confused by Shinji's shying away from her (unable to realize that it's her [[{{Jerkass}} dominant and hateful]] attitude that's pushing him away).
