Shinji masturbates to Asuka.
During instrumentality, Shinji sees Rei, Asuka and Misato as his own sex desires. Also on his spiritual trip on Episode 20.
Kaworu only really represents affection in a psychological, platonic way, if you will. His carnal desires are within women.
Also, the fact Kaworu could "win" Shinji's heart has more to do with his angel powers, rather than him being a handsome guy. He could have won the heart of any human in Evangelion, including Gendou lol. His primary mission was to take over Nerv and reunite with Adam, getting close to Shinji was only part of his plan, he would have done the same with Asuka if he needed it.

People seem to have a real hard time separating love and lust as though they can't distinguish between beauty and sexiness. Shinji is a biromantic heterosexual.

Both, Kaωru is a 10/10 bishounen
>He could have won the heart of any human in Evangelion, including Gendou lol.
Really doubt this for some reason. Shinji is only a year younger than Kaωru and seems a lot more prone to homoeroticism as a "pussy" femboy or whatever.
>His primary mission was to take over Nerv and reunite with Adam, getting close to Shinji was only part of his plan, he would have done the same with Asuka if he needed it.
He didn't have to do any of the stuff he did with Shinji to achieve that though. Being an Eva pilot within the range of Lilith was all he needed.

Kaworu was only able to assimilate Adam clones (like Unit 02), not Unit 01, which was a clone/extension of Lilith. Unit 01 was also, by far, the most powerful unit. Kaworu needed to have a connection with the pilot's heart in order to be able to break through Terminal Dogma and find Adam. When he realized it was Lilith, instead of Adam on the cross, he gave up and let Shinji kill him.

Why would Kaworu need unit 01? His mission was to return to Adam. He was a pilot already and could access Terminal Dogma any time if he wanted to. He only used unit 02 in ep 24 so he could have another thing to defend himself with besides his AT field, which was confirmed to be the strongest along with Rei/Lilith's. He could've ended everyone at Nerv if he really wanted to.

He didn't need Unit 01 (he couldn't do anything with it), he needed to have some sort of control over the pilot to avoid being stopped.

Well, as far as I know, the answer is No to both.
For Iron Maiden you're better off with the original PC version anyway, which is sure to not have any censorship.
For other games, Evangelion 64 can be played without reading japanese. Maybe just check up a FAQ online for the controls in certain missions, but it's still easy to figure out.
Digital Card Library on Sega Saturn is also playable without knowing japanese (it's a collection of mini-games and a lot of multimedia goodies)

If Kaworu was that concerned over being stopped by Unit 01 and its pilot, he could've killed Shinji when they were bathing or when they went to his room or right when they met at the beach, there was no need for Kaworu to be friends with him.

>Also Rei

>> No.6483429

>>6483413
>he could've killed Shinji when they were bathing or when they went to his room or right when they met at the beach
Nerv's intelligence was watching on him (including Misato on her own), naturally. Anything Kaworu does would be informed to Gendou. And Gendou has the Eva-01, which ultimately works with the Dummy System, even if Shinji would die (theoretically).
Kaworu could go rambo on Nerv and try to take down the Eva-01 by himself (unlikely), but the best strategy here is to become friends with Shinji. Seele probably also adviced him so. In the end, Kaworu ended up taking affection to Shinji (and the Lilin as a species), but I don't think that was his intention from the beginning, he was determined to extinguish Lilin once he returned to Adam.
>If he didn't want her to interfere he wouldn't have helped her
You think Kaworu told Rei to come along with him to Terminal Dogma? I think that was Gendou himself who told Rei to go there, in case shit goes wrong, Rei would be the last card.

>> No.6483489

>>6483429
>Nerv's intelligence was watching on him
He could've still killed him while they were in kaworu's room, at night, and infiltrated terminal dogma. It would've taken some time for Nerv to find Shinji's corpse.

>Eva-01, which ultimately works with the Dummy System
Unit 01 stopped accepting the dummy system after the what happened with toji.
gendo: why are you rejecting me, yui?
Even if unit 01 accepted it after it sensed shinji's death, it wouldn't be easy for it to stop Kaworu as he has the soul of Adam, one of the seeds of life, and as it was mentioned in ep 24, he had the strongest AT field (along with Lilith). He's not just another angel.

>You think Kaworu told Rei to come along with him to Terminal Dogma?
No, but what he told her ("You and I are the same") on their first meeting definitely impacted her and made her question her existence, nature and purpose. There was a scene with Rei asking herself those things while thinking of Kaworu's words. I think Rei went to Terminal Dogma by her own will after understanding her nature thanks to Kaworu's words.

>> No.6483504

>>6483489
What makes you think Nerv didn't have cameras/mics in Kaworu's room?
I also don't think infiltrating Nerv is that easy. Kaworu started his operations at a time when it was possible to access the Eva hangar without trouble, probably after some sync test (which is why Shinji was also readily available to fight).
>it wouldn't be easy for it to stop Kaworu as he has the soul of Adam, one of the seeds of life, and as it was mentioned in ep 24, he had the strongest AT field (along with Lilith). He's not just another angel.
You are correct, but Kaworu only has Adam's soul, not Adam's body, hence, he doesn't have the same amount of power to fight, which is why he had to assimilate Unit 02 (Adam's clone).
Unit 01 is a clone of Lilith, and has generated a S2 core after eating Zeruel's. I don't think Unit 02 would be enough to stop Unit 01 if it wakes up, which is always a possibility. Especially if Yui is aware that Kaworu killed Shinji, she would have no mercy with him.

>> No.6483510

>>6483489
Regarding Rei, yeah it's also a possibility that she went there on her own, but the way she acts in that scene (watching over, as a sort of vigilante) makes me think she was sent there by Gendou, with instructions on how to act if Kaworu somehow defeats Shinji. Either way, Rei being there was another factor against Kaworu.

I don't think so. Iron Maiden is so good because it was made in a particular moment in Gainax. It had the right people working on it and it delivers a faithful experience that's very close to the TV series, basically an OVA in VN format.

If you want the most collectable version, that's on the Second Impact Box set, from 2001.
It's the only version of the original PC game on DVD-ROM, only 1 disc instead of the regular 4 CD-set.

It's a pretty good looking set too.
This was actually the 3rd Second Impact Box. The first one was released on the same day of the second impact, hence the name, and it included 3 DVDs with the episodes 1 to 12, then the 2nd volume came with episodes 13 to 24, then vol 3 included the last 2 TV eps, movies, and DVD version of Iron Maiden for PC.

Yeah although at the same time, as it suggests mystery, it kind of takes away the surprise element. It's like you can guess Mana is suspicious from that cover. And the title "girlfriend of steel" kind of supports that suspicion. The PC cover seems more impactful to me because it's such a wholesome pic, with that clear sky on the background, and Mana's innocent, lovely gaze and smile. Yet the title "girlfriend of steel" creates a gap between what you're seeing and what the title suggests (which could also be interpreted as that she's a robot or something, too). I also really like the font they used on "Neon Genesis Evangelion" there.
The PS1 cover might be the weakest one, but I still like that Mana illustration. It's weird that it's the only version without "Iron Maiden" somewhere on the cover.
A shame that they went full soulless for the 2006 re-release.

Haven't thought about these games in a long time.

Used to own a copy of 1st Impression on saturn I think, not sure why I got it (cheap?) but I was deep in EVA worship back then. Had a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to succeed in battles, so I never got very far. I think I sold that copy on eBay soon after.

Never got to play 2nd Impression or Girlfriend of Steel.
