What, exactly, is their relationship...

What, exactly, is their relationship? It feels like it's the most important relationship between two people in all of Eva, at least for the actual episodes of the show. It's not roommate/roommate, it's not coworker/coworker, it's not boss/employee, it's not mother/son, it's not boyfriend/girlfriend, it's some weird mishmash monster of all of those.

Its more like auntie and niece relationship

it's best girl/best boy

Supervisor and subordinate that's all

I thought Shinji looked up Misato like a mother figure with her eventually fucking that up?

Misato is the only character that gives a damn about the child toy soldiers mostly because of her experience of merely being a tool for a bunch of dicks.

also Oedipus complex raised by person with electra complex

Of all the wrecked relationships that fail over the course of the show, the failure of what existed between Shinji and Misato is the one that feels most bitter.

There really is no doubt she wanted him in her. In fact it probably would have helped his confidence.

You talkin' about when she offers herself to him and he sperges out?

The exact same as Haruka and Ayato's

It's a mother who doesn't know how to be a mother and a daughter who doesn't know how to be a son.

For whoever can translate this shit.

a failed mother son relationship

Activate windows.

>some weird mishmash monster of all of those.

Imagine if they had the chance to do the rest.

disgusting
shinji a pure

kaji... he's a boy

she was gonna fug him.

Source of this? Everything above CHECK POINT is just literal descriptions of events in the show. In white, under the pictures it's just quotes from each character during the scene and a literal description of things that happened. In red it's the description of the scene where ritsko looks at the old picture of her, her mom and gendo.

The check point reads
>Misato extends her hand to shinji. She might be attempting to console him by offering him her body. However, she did it merely to compensate for and distract herself form her own loneliness.

It's from the official filmbook.

Shinji rejects sex with Misato once she offers it.

The point was that their relationship wasn't clear. Same concept as for magis. Misto as a woman, as a mother and as her calling. For most of the series she has to have conflicting attitudes towards Shinji because the mother side and calling side clash. At the end she mixes in the woman aspect because of the emotional turmoil she's going through.

The only thing that is stated as definitive is that whatever misato was going to do she was doing it for herself first and foremost, which was blatant in the scene with penpen right after imo.

>he rejected the god tier Misato
I'll never be able to understand
No matter how much of a beta you are and how much problems you have, you couldn't have resisted her
Literally the only problem with NGE is that unrealistic behaviour of Shinji

D-did i fucking stutter?

It seems pretty definitive that she offered the fug without the need of any authoritative statement. It's also one of the scenes that shows when she says she is in despair with herself.

He didn't reject her because of fear or shyness or being a pussy. You know that there are other reasons not to want to be intimate with someone, right? And it's not like it came out of nowhere. He had acted like a son that feels annoyed and embarrassed by his cringy flirty mother the whole series. He is very specific about not wanting to do anything sexual with her. Even with the kiss at the elevator you can see him wiping his lips immediately after that. That's not because of him being a pussy since it had already happened so it's not like he was looking for a way out or anything.

Shinji is realistic exactly because he didn't want to fuck the person he saw as a mother figure. You're just projecting your mental illness onto shinji.

>wanting to someone who isn't your mother but just a mother-like figure (meaning you conceptualized her as that, there's no real "mother-son" connection since she isn't really your mother)
>wanting to fuck pic related
>mental illness
You have to go back

He was wiping her blood off his lips. He even cries at the realization that she's dying.

You are still projecting onto shinji you double nigger.

He did not have blood on his lips. He got the blood there with his hand

Go back.

It’s a sort of “cool” mother and son relationship, but when Shinji has problems Misato doesn’t know how to help him with, she just offers herself sexually, since all her life, her relationship with men had convinced her she is only good at hedonistic activities (getting drunk, having sex and all that) and had made her think she can only help him as a woman and sexual figure rather than a mother he can trust. Makes sense to me, knowing that she didn’t have a masculine figure while growing up (and I think she didn’t have a mother neither)

Sugar mommy and her boytoy.
