Chapter 485 The Tragic Male Protagonist (Original)

Moreover, although they are both EVA pilots, this is not the first time that Shinji Ikari has met Rei Ayanami.

But every time they just looked at each other calmly without any communication.

And then, during an experiment with Unit-01 and Unit-00, Shinji Ikari saw...

Standing in front of Unit 0, Ayanami Rei and her father Ikari Gendo seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

only……

For a moment, Fan Siwei and Fu Liyu didn't know who Shinji Ikari in the anime was jealous of.

Under normal circumstances, a boy should be jealous of a girl.

But it seems that Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami don't have much emotional connection at the moment.

So Shinji Ikari should be jealous of his father Gendo Ikari?

Why... his father was so happy talking to Rei Ayanami, but was so...

Such indifference.

But it is indeed a bit weird for a boy like Shinji Ikari to be jealous of his own father.

Even if he was jealous, his personality meant he wouldn't say anything.

If nothing unexpected happened, he wouldn't have spoken to Rei Ayanami.

But next...

"Shinji, I have something to ask of you."

During a gathering of three people, Ritsuko took out the new card that Rei Ayanami had applied for, handed it to Shinji Ikari, and said, "This is Rei Ayanami's new card. I always forgot to give it to her."

"Excuse me, could you please take me to her house before going to headquarters?"

"Ok!"

Ikari Shinji was stunned for just a moment, then he seemed quite willing to agree.

Then he stared at Rei Ayanami's ID photo in a daze.

"What's the matter? You keep staring at Li's photo."

This caused Misato to misunderstand. She looked at him teasingly and said, "Shinji... could it be that you..."

"no!"

Ikari Shinji quickly denied it.

However, Misato still misunderstood. After all, she was young and Shinji Ikari was now sixteen years old, so it was normal for him to have immature feelings for her.

So, the next day, Shinji Ikari went to Rei Ayanami's house before going to the headquarters.

But when he arrived at Rei Ayanami's house according to the address.

Surprisingly, the door was not locked.

Then he walked straight in. The house was quite big.

Rei Ayanami's house seemed...

I don't know if it's shabby or dirty.

There were many opened envelopes scattered on both sides of the entrance corridor.

It looked like someone had opened it, read it, and then thrown it on the ground.

Don't even want to throw it in the trash.

The floor looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, with several large patches of dirt.

"Is anyone here? I'm Ikari Shinji!"

Shinji Ikari didn't get a response, so he had to say, "Ayanami Rei... I'm coming in."

Then he walked in carefully.

It was hard to imagine that this was a girl’s home. Although there weren’t many things, the clothes, blood-stained bandages, cups, bowls and chopsticks were all scattered around.

Shinji Ikari took all of this in, and then his eyes fell on... a pair of broken glasses on a simple table.

The glasses had two cracks, but they were clearly men's style.

They were the kind of glasses that older men wore.

Could this be...

"Ah? Could it really be Shinji Ikari's father's?"

Fan Siwei subconsciously started to complain and said, "It can't be true..."

"What is this?"

However, Fu Liyu, who was watching the anime at the same time, was a little confused and asked curiously.

"that is……"

Fan Siwei thought about it, and then said tactfully, "Old cows eat young grass..."

He actually felt something strange at the beginning of this episode, but he still thought that Ikari Gendo treated Ayanami Rei as his own daughter, which was why he risked his life to save her.

But then, Rei Ayanami and Gendō Ikari were talking happily, and I saw this pair of glasses that clearly belonged to Gendō Ikari...

This ridiculous idea came to my mind.

"No way……"

After Fu Liyu heard this, he couldn't believe it.

However, at this time, Rei Ayanami... walked out in the animation.

But she was actually taking a shower just now.

Shinji Ikari panicked for a moment and wanted to explain something.

But Rei Ayanami didn't seem to care about this. Instead, when she saw him trying to put on the glasses, she became particularly concerned.

She even wanted to walk forward and take away the broken glasses on Shinji Ikari's nose.

But at this moment...

An accident happened.

This accident seems a bit cliché, even a bit bloody.

Shinji Ikari became even more panicked, but Rei Ayanami still seemed indifferent.

After both parties stood up, Rei Ayanami put on her clothes and left.

Shinji Ikari was a little surprised when he saw this.

But this actually calmed him down, and he followed Rei Ayanami back to NERV headquarters.

And just when both of them returned to NERV headquarters.

Rei Ayanami used her old card but was unable to pass the gate.

At this time, Shinji Ikari stepped forward, took out Rei Ayanami's new card, and helped her pass the access control.

“Here’s your new card.”

He handed it to Rei Ayanami and said, "Ms. Ritsuko asked me to give it to you."

However, Rei Ayanami said nothing, just took the card in her hand and walked in.

I thought she didn't care just now, but now it seems that she is still angry.

Shinji Ikari chased after him and said, "I'm so sorry for what happened just now."

At this time, Rei Ayanami finally spoke.

"why?"

Ayanami Rei seemed a little confused and said.

All of a sudden...

The scene froze.

After all, Shinji Ikari is not the type of person who is good at chatting and chatting.

But he still wanted to have some contact with Rei Ayanami and wanted to continue finding topics to talk about.

After a second or two of silence.

"that……"

Shinji Ikari then continued, "We're going to conduct a restart experiment today..."

This time, Rei Ayanami did not answer.

So he quickly said, "I hope it goes well this time!"

A genius in chatting...truly a genius in chatting!
The barrage was already full of laughter.

"Ikari Shinji is too innocent!"

"This way of chatting...hahaha."

"It's like two people got together, and one of them was frantically trying to find something to talk about in order to avoid being awkward."

"The most frightening thing is not that one person can't chat, but that both people can't chat."

"I'm embarrassed for Shinji Ikari. He dug a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment out of his toes."

"Why is this elevator so long? It's like hell. I want to leave but I can't, and I feel embarrassed to keep silent."

“The fake i person, in order to make the atmosphere less awkward, forced himself to find something to talk about;
Really i person, thanks for jumping off the elevator already. "

……

After not getting a response from Ayanami Rei, Ikari Shinji calmed down again.

"that……"

He began to ask what was really in his heart, and said, "Li, aren't you afraid? Riding on that Unit 0 again..."

"Why do you ask?" Rei Ayanami finally responded this time and asked.

"I heard...you were seriously injured in the last experiment."

Shinji Ikari said truthfully, "So I wanted to ask you if it's really okay."

Rei Ayanami did not directly answer Shinji Ikari's question, but asked, "You are Commander Ikari's son, right?"

"Ah."

"Don't you trust your father's work?"

Ayanami Rei asked back.

"Of course! A father like him!"

Ikari Shinji said angrily.

But at this moment, Rei Ayanami turned around and looked at him straight.

While Shinji Ikari is still confused...

"Snapped--!"

There was a particularly loud slap.

Rei Ayanami slapped Shinji Ikari in the face, and half of Shinji Ikari's right face turned visibly red.

Then the elevator reached its destination and she turned and left.

Shinji Ikari was stunned by the slap from Rei Ayanami.

But what follows is the reason why she beat Shinji Ikari.

"The pilot was trapped inside at the time, and it was Commander Ikari who rescued her."

"I used my hands to force open the scalding hot door. The burns on my hands were caused by that."

……

The picture shows Rei Ayanami wearing a driving suit and smiling.

This seems to really confirm something.

However, at this time, Fan Siwei and Fu Liyu, including the audience who saw this, all felt that the male protagonist Ikari Shinji was too miserable.

After all...why should Ayanami Rei treat Ikari Shinji like this?

What Shinji Ikari said is actually correct.

Regardless of whether Ikari Gendō is the commander of NERV headquarters, or whether he saved Ayanami Rei at the risk of his own life.

But as a father, his treatment of Shinji Ikari was not up to standard.

Maybe Gendo Ikari was treated like this because of what happened between him and Shinji Ikari in the past.

But judging from the current plot, Ikari Gendo is indeed "that kind of father".

Rei Ayanami slapped him again without knowing the reason...

It really makes people feel too miserable...

But what happens next is that the audience is told that... Shinji Ikari is more miserable than just that.

Even... worse!
When Rei Ayanami completed a new round of experiments.

"Commander! There is a UFO approaching."

"I'm afraid it's the fifth apostle."

At this time, Unit 00 is ready, so it is of course better for Unit 00 to go into battle.

As for Unit-01 piloted by Shinji Ikari, it can also enter the battlefield later to help Unit-00 fight against the Fifth Angel.

After all, there is strength in numbers, and two mechas against one apostle will have a greater chance of winning.

however……

"Interrupt the experiment, all personnel enter first alert status."

Ikari Gendō gave the order in a normal and professional manner.

"Why not just send out Unit-0?"

The subordinate asked doubtfully.

"It's not ready for combat yet."

Ikari Gendō changed the subject and asked, "Where is Unit-01?"

"You can be ready to attack in 380 seconds."

Ritsuko said truthfully.

"Attack."

So he said directly.

"it is good."

Ikari Shinji nodded, turned around and looked at Rei Ayanami in Unit 0, but his tone was quite gentle, and said, "Rei, the restart was successful, come back."

? ? ? ?
The barrage and the audience's minds were full of question marks.

Rei Ayanami is obviously ready to attack and fight at any time, but you don't let her drive Unit 00 to fight the Angel.

Instead, he let his son pilot Unit-6 and wait about minutes before going into battle.

If it is said that Gendō Ikari really has no favoritism, and if there were no previous plots, the audience might still believe his nonsense like "Unit-00 is not yet capable of fighting".

But in the previous plot, what happened when Shinji Ikari first piloted Unit-01 into battle?
He had no experience in flying Unit-01 and had not even received any training, yet he went straight into battle.

So no matter what happened to Unit-00 and Rei Ayanami, they had at least undergone several experiments and long hours of training.

In short, it is obvious that Gendo Ikari favors Rei Ayanami and lets Shinji Ikari take the risk of fighting.

The fist is hard...the fist is really hard.

The audience really feels that... Gendō Ikari is not a human being!
If he and Rei Ayanami really had a relationship where the older man was after the younger one, it would be even more infuriating.

"How can this be possible? Damn this old Deng!"

Fan Siwei said with gritted teeth.

"Yeah, this dad...is really not a human being."

Fu Liyu also nodded in agreement and said indignantly, "You even treat your own son as a tool, right?"

Then, Shinji Ikari didn't understand what was going on, but just followed orders and prepared to go into battle.

A huge blue prism slowly appeared above the city.

"Unit-01 launches!"

Shinji Ikari is already driving Unit-01 and is ready to reach his destination on the city's launch track.

But at this moment...

"There is a high-energy reaction inside the target!"

Suddenly, the monitors discovered energy changes inside the Fifth Angel and reported it in horror.

"what?!"

Misato said in horror.

"The circumference is accelerating! It's starting to shrink!"

Yet he continued to report.

"Could it be..."

At this time, Ritsuko also felt that something was wrong.

At this time, the Unit 01 driven by Shinji Ikari had been ejected onto the city ground through orbit.

"No! Get out of the way!"

Misato immediately said to Ikari Shinji.

"what?"

Shinji Ikari didn't know what was going on and was a little confused.

But the fifth apostle in the sky suddenly shot out a wave of light that penetrated the heaven and earth!

A building standing between the Fifth Angel and Unit-01 was instantly burned to ashes by the high-energy beam.

Then it landed directly in the middle of Unit-01's waist!
A big hole appeared immediately!
"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

Shinji Ikari, who felt the pain synchronously with Unit-01, let out a scream of extreme agony!
The screams continued to echo in the command room of NERV headquarters, and Misato looked troubled.

then……

The ending theme plays and that's it for the episode.

Miserable... so miserable!

All viewers felt that Shinji Ikari was really asking for trouble in this episode.

After unexpectedly learning from Ritsuko that his father Gendo Ikari treated Rei Ayanami much better than he did him, he began to pay attention to Rei Ayanami.

However, he paid more attention to Rei Ayanami and found that his father's attitude towards her was very different.

This might have made him a little jealous.

Then, after he came into contact with Rei Ayanami, he was slapped by Rei Ayanami, who also had different feelings for Ikari Gendo, because he told her the truth about his father.

In the end, he was treated as a tool by his father Gendo Ikari, who didn't let Ayanami Rei go, but asked him to fight.

And then... as soon as he appeared on the scene, the fifth angel pierced his body with a blow, and it looked like he was going to be seriously injured.

So... Shinji Ikari is really miserable, so miserable.
