history

History:At the beginning of the series, Shinji exhibits a passive and laid-back personality, probably inherited from his quiet life with his sensei. However, behind this attitude, it is evident that he is deeply moved by what surrounds him. In Episode 01, after keeping his cool for a long period, he finally explodes in anger in front of his father. Lack of self-confidence is one of the reasons for his passivity, and his experiences at NERV do not improve his situation. Despite this, Shinji is aware of his own weaknesses and always shows himself to be kind and compassionate. Shinji is normally quite introverted. In social situations he is awkward, and often exhibits difficulty controlling his emotions. He has a great fear of being hated, probably because he was abandoned in his youth. Gendo abandoned his son at the age of 4, which traumatized the young boy for the rest of his life. For that reason, Shinji has closed himself off and rejects any attachment to others, for fear of being betrayed again. Due to his fragile emotional state, the young man decides to isolate himself from the world using headphones, listening to music on his SDAT player. He usually always plays tracks 25 ("You Are the Only One") and 26 ("Blue Legend"). Gendo only deigns to contact his son if the latter can serve his plans. And Shinji is generally happy to follow orders, as he only wishes for people to be proud of him. Though he initially denies it, he longs for praise, and eventually begins piloting Evangelion Unit 01 to gain the approval of others, as well as his father's love.

appearance

Appearance: While it is acknowledged during the series' trailer that Shinji is a great pilot, the young man does not seem to display any other skills besides a certain talent for cooking. However, in episode 15 it was revealed that he played the cello. His musical talent seems to be the only way he has of openly expressing himself. Although the young man claims to have no talent, despite performing a Bach piece considered very demanding. Shinji has brown hair and blue-grey eyes, traits he inherited from his mother, Yui. He is a thin person and it is noticeable that he likes to keep things in order as he usually keeps his shirt tucked into his pants. When at NERV or out of town, he wears a white shirt and dark pants, though in his apartment he prefers to wear more casual clothing. Shinji's Plug Suit is light blue and white, complemented by some black parts.

story 2

His mother died and that caused him great suffering that affected him for a long time. After being abandoned by his father Gendo Ikari, Shinji lived with his sensei for eleven years. Shinji Ikari arrivesTokyo-3 He appears for the first time in the first minutes of episode 01. The young man has been summoned to Tokyo-3 by his father. While he waits for them to come look for him, Shinji witnesses the attack of the angel Sachiel. Misato Katsuragi rescues him just in time, and they speed away in their Renault Alpine A310. At the NERV base, Shinji learns his father's true motives: to appoint him as the pilot of Evangelion Unit 01. Shinji refuses when he sees that his father only wants to use him. Faced with this situation, Gendo decides to use Rei Ayanami, who is seriously injured and wrapped in bandages. This act of cruelty changes Shinji's mind, and he finally decides to cooperate. Aboard the Evangelion, the young man is knocked unconscious shortly after the battle begins, but suddenly the EVA enters berserk mode, acts on its own and destroys the angel. Shortly after the angel's defeat, Misato takes Shinji to live with her, rather than letting him live at her expense. Several weeks later, young Ikari begins attending school, where he meets Toji, Kensuke, and Hikari. When it is discovered that Shinji is the pilot of Evangelion Unit 01, Toji beats him, in retaliation for his sister being injured during the battle. Episode 3 EVA 01 shoots Shamshel After a short period of time, the angel Shamshel attacks, and Shinji is forced to once again pilot Unit-01. During the intense battle that unfolds, the umbilical cable that supplies power to the EVA is cut, leaving it operating with a limited level of energy. To make matters worse, Toji and Kensuke escape from the shelter and go to watch the fight, complicating things for Shinji, who must rescue them. Shinji disobeys Misato's order to retreat and attacks Shamshe.

Relationships:Gendo Ikari and Misato

Gendo abandoned Shinji shortly after his wife Yui Ikari disappeared as a result of the contact experiment carried out with Evangelion Unit 01. For this reason, Shinji ended up living with his sensei and little by little a deep resentment towards his father grew in his heart. . It should be noted that the young man seems to have fled from Gendo when they both visited Yui's grave, three years before the events of the series. This fact contributed to the consolidation of the distance between both. In episode 01, Shinji shows Misato Katsuragi the summons letter that his father sent him, calling him to Tokyo-3. The letter is completely blank, except for a couple of handwritten words saying: "Come-. Gendo Ikari." In that scene it is clearly seen that the letter was torn into pieces and then taped together with black tape. Misato makes no comment and it is never mentioned what led Shinji to tear up the letter and then repair it. Possibly, upon receiving such an impolite call from his father, the young man became angry and broke it, to later reconsider the matter, repair it and embark on the trip with the aim of finding out what he wanted from his father. Deep down, Shinji longs for words of praise from Gendo. Misato Katsuragi After moving to Tokyo-3, Shinji lives in a small apartment with Misato and her pet penguin Pen Pen. At first, Shinji disapproves of the girl's lifestyle. She is messy, consumes a lot of beer, snacks and instant foods. Misato annoys Shinji EP02 In addition, she is too outgoing, which makes the young man feel a little uncomfortable at first, since he is not used to interacting with a person with these characteristics. However, little by little he begins to open his heart to him and slowly begins to get used to that environment. Her attitude toward Shinji is sometimes suggestive, but he also tries to act as a responsible guardian and reliable friend. At times, their relationship resembles that of a

Reí Ayanami: Shinji's relationship with Rei is key in the series and started from the first episode. When Rei was seriously injured in the accident with Unit-00, Gendo summoned Shinji to become Unit-01's pilot. Although he refused at first, he changed his mind when he saw the severity of Rei's injuries and the need to take her place. Shinji and Rei in the opening At first, their relationship seemed to be limited to the workplace. Later, Shinji finds out that his father has burns on her hands. Consulting Ritsuko, she tells him that Gendo burned his hands to save Rei. From that moment on, Shinji began to take an interest in her, especially because he noticed that she was always alone. In episode 05, young Ikari went to her apartment to give her an identification card and found her naked, coming out of her shower. He became very nervous, but she did not show any discomfort. Later, when Shinji spoke ill of Gendo, she slapped him. However, after the battle against Ramiel, they began to get closer. At one point when Shinji cried, Rei didn't know how to react, but he asked her for a smile, and that marked a positive change in their relationship.

Asuka: Throughout the series it is evident that Asuka has a love/hate relationship with Shinji. They are attracted to each other, but are not able to express their feelings. Shinji is mostly calm and friendly, but also submissive when it comes to Asuka, especially when she asserts herself against him in an abusive manner.

Kaworu Nagisa: Kaworu and Shinji meet in episode 24. Although their time together was very short, Shinji developed a great attachment to him, a fact that might seem strange given his introverted personality. It's clear that Kaworu represents some sort of idealized figure for Shinji. It is important to clarify that young Ikari had been left without friends due to the recent events of the story. Given this scenario, the mysterious young man appears at the right time, when Shinji is completely desperate and needs to have some kind of connection with someone. Shinji was afraid to talk to Asuka, Misato, and Rei, and it had reinforced his mistaken belief that no one cared about him. Despite this, Kaworu quickly became a trustworthy person, possibly due to his easy-going attitude and ability to carry on a fluid conversation.
