1	''[[WhatIf What if]]...Shinji Ikari was half-ghost?''
2
3	[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5429543/1/Shinji-Ikiryo Shinji Ikiryo]] is a ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''[=/=]''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' crossover fic by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1615106/Mike313 Mike313]] who is better known for ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'' and other {{Super Fic}}s.
4
5	Shinji thought the guardian his father left him with, his uncle the self-proclaimed ghost hunter, was simply nuts. Yet one day, a mishap in his uncle's workshop shows Shinji there might be something to all that ghost stuff. Essentially, Shinji Ikari, the neurotic protagonist of Evangelion, is turned into the Japanese ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''.
6
7	After three years of honing his powers and protecting his adopted hometown from ghosts as the Ikiryo, Shinji, as per canon, is called into Tokyo-3 by his father to fight the [[EldritchAbomination Angels]]...with several members of his [[RoguesGallery rogues gallery]] following him.

9	----
10
11	!! Tropes:
12
13	* ADayInTheLimelight: The canonical journey to Okinawa by Class 2-A (and which has to be skipped by Shinji and Asuka because of their responsibilities as Evangelion Pilots) ends up going to the dogs by a ghost trying to flood the city, which Toji and Kensuke have to stop themselves.
14	* ArbitrarySkepticism: You think that a man who studies metaphysical biology like Gendo would be more open to the idea of ghosts. {{Lampshaded}} by Fuyutuski. Though part of it seems to be denial that his crazy brother in law, who he doesn't like, could actually be ''right'' about ghosts.
15	* TheAssimilator: After Technus takes over the 11th Angel, he assimilates more technology and goes to try and take control of all of Tokyo-3's advanced technology.
16	* CityofAdventure: Both Tokyo-3 and Shinjuku-2, which has a lot of ghosts thanks to Ichigo's portal.
17	* ComboPlatterPowers: Shinji has mastered flight, intangibility, invisibility, energy blasts, possession, the ability to sense other ghosts, the ability to duplicate himself, and manipulate ice.
18	* {{Crossover}}: Between ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' and ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''.
19	* DeadpanSnarker: Shinji is noticeably more snarky here
20	* EpicFail: What else can you say when Toji and Kensuke have problems facing the freaking [[JokeCharacter Box Ghost]]?!
21	* {{Expy}}:
22	** Shinji's uncle Ichigo is one of ''[[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Jack Fenton]]'', although unlike Jack, Ichigo doesn't care that much for his family (he can barely remember that he even ''has'' a nephew, for one thing).
23	** Considering the nature of ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', Shinji can be also considered to be one of ''[[Comicbook/SpiderMan Peter Parker]]''.
24	** The Kasuga Twins are (slightly) standing in for Sam and Tucker.
25	* ForgetfulJones: Ichigo Ikari can barely remember that Shinji even exists.
26	* InSpiteOfANail: Technus is the reason in the story for Jet Alone's rampage. [[spoiler: Though he still activates NERV's virus to give him time to escape]].
27	* FusionDance: In a past adventure, [[spoiler: Spectra gets fused with the child-hating spirit Kobayashi]]. This increases her powers, but makes her even more malicious than before.
28	* FreakLabAccident: Guess who?
29	* HijackingCthulhu: When the 11th Angel takes on a supercomputer-like form, Technus manages to overshadow it. To stop it, Shinji has to overshadow Unit One.
30	* HumongousMecha:
31	** The Evangelions. Shinji discovers that he can channel his ghost-powers (or at least his intangibility) through them.
32	** Let's not forget Jet Alone.
33	* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Skulker, who actually considers hunting the [[EldritchAbomination Angels]]!!
34	* InvisibleToAdults: Youngblood appears during the Sixth Angel battle, creating chaos (and, rather unwillingly, plenty of damage to the Angel). Asuka, because of her hard-core desire to be seen as an adult, is unwilling to see the big spectral pirate ship blasting the Angel.
35	* LighterAndSofter: Compared to regular NGE, anyway.
36	* MeaningfulName: Ikiryo can be read as 'living ghost' which both fits Shinji's half ghost nature, and status as Danny's {{Expy}}
37	* MiniMecha: Skulker's armor. The author says that alone lets him fit right in with anime already.
38	* NoodleIncident: Several of Shinji's adventures in Shinjuku-2, some of which are implied to be similar to some of Danny's adventures, including mentions of what appear to be Nocturne and Aragon.
39	* OriginalCharacter: The Kasuga Twins, Fumiko & Kamiko, who acted as Shinji's backup & [[SecretKeeper SecretKeepers]] during his adventures in Shinjuku-2. He still keeps in touch with them. Also (slightly) [[OCStandIn OC Stand-Ins]] for ''[[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Sam and Tucker]]''.
40	* OperationJealousy: Just like in her original show, Kitty possesses someone close to the main hero in order to date him and make her on/off boyfriend jealous.
41	* PowerDyesYourHair: Just like Danny. {{Lampshaded}} in an {{omake}} as being "quasi-bishouen" (and activating the SexyManInstantHarem effect on Asuka and other female characters, with all of the collateral damage that this ensues).
42	* RaceLift: Several of the DP ghosts are tweaked for the Japanese setting. For example, Kobayashi acts as the equivalent of the Lunch Lady, the first serious ghost fight Shinji has, only far more malicious and dangerous to civilians.
43	* RelationshipUpgrade: Seems to happen between Shinji & Asuka in chapter 15. [[spoiler: {{Subverted}}, it's because Kitty is possessing Asuka]]
44	* SadistTeacher: The spirit Kobayashi was this in life, [[MaddenedIntoMisanthropy though it might have been due to the fact that]] KidsAreCruel
45	* SecretKeeper: Shinji has the OCs Fumio and Kamiko in his old home, and Toji and Kensuke in Tokyo-3
46	** {{SecretSecretKeeper}}: [[spoiler: Asuka]]
47	* SelfDuplication: Shinji seems to have mastered this power. He uses this several times in the fic to help maintain his SecretIdentity.
48	* ShipSinking: Shinji/Rei got sunk when Shinji decided she was his sister.
49	* ShoutOut:
50	** ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'': While ticked off at Asuka at one point, Shinji thinks: "Your ass is haunted!"
51	** ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'': Asuka makes an appearance like ''ComicBook/PowerGirl'' in chapter 7's omake.
52	* SpannerInTheWorks: Discussed in story by Gendo and Fuyutuski, who wonder if the sudden appearance of ghosts in Tokyo-3 would affect their scenario.
53	* SuperFic
54	* SupernaturalProofFather: Gendo so far is completely refusing to believe that ghosts exist, though mostly because of his animosity toward his idiot ghost hunting brother-in-law.
55	* TheyWouldCutYouUp: Shinji kept his powers secret from both senior Ikari men (''especially'' his uncle) because of his belief that they would do this.
56	* TookALevelInBadass: Having superpowers and spending several years fighting ghosts does alot to improve Shinji's confidence in comparison to canon, though he still has his introverted moments.
57	* WeirdnessCensor: Ritsuko.
