lol, I legit paused and looked a the time on my third rewatch be cause I forgot about

That was a stylistic choice made to add impact to the scene to make it more emotionally evoking. It's made so you can feel the tension and awkwardness between Shinji and Misato. Same thing applies with the other two scenes. It's not hard to understand lol

@@MemoriesofRen no one here is confused on why it happens, I just said I forgot about it.

@@lucaswarriorteammining5786 I know, I just thought it would be worth explaining it since many people misinterpret it, if that makes sense.

Lol as a new watcher I just came across that scene but honestly it’s kinda refreshing coming from all the flashy anime nowadays

Well, it was the point. In modern terms it was Chad Kaoru telling Virgin Shinji (who was in need of therapy because he felt used and mentally abused or neglected by most of those in his life including his father) that he shouldn't hate himself for seeing himself as flawed, that he was also worthy of being alive and existing. Kaoru was originally written (before the mangaka got control and admitted he had no clue what to do with him, so make him do what fangirls wanted him to do to Shinji) as a sort of "perfect life" Shinji if Shinji could get the world he wanted in his head. And since he isn't human he skips over lower forms (Christian philosophically speaking) of love and has a baseline treatment of all under agape (unconditional love, i.e. everyone is worthy of being loved and appreciated) in his actions. That is why he tells Shinji (in the script) he was worthy of "koui" (goodwill, kindness, affection, i.e. he isn't as worthless as his insecurities led him to believe). It's why he is calm when speaking to others and why he lets Shinji merc him, in his eyes Shinji and everyone else is equally worthy of being alive as him.

@@EpicNinjaShiro what are you talking about? Sadamoto, the mangaka for the manga adaptation, never had any say in the script of the anime, he worked as character designer. The script is mainly by Hideki Anno and other Gainax staff

@@AndreLuis-gw5ox There's an actual interview of the mangaka saying that at the time he wasn't entire sure about Kaoru's character because of how little screen time he ended up having, and I was talking about how some with poor hearing used something they thought was in the anime to justify the direction later adaptations put of Kaoru. Or are you saying there was no intent in the original anime script that Kaoru was telling Shinji it is alright if Shinji lives on?

@@EpicNinjaShiro no, I'm saying that the mangaka of the manga adaptation never had any say in the anime's script or how the character would develop. Even if the took liberties in the manga, he still followed the original script and only added to it, with very few major changes. I dont get why you are so fixated on a person whose contribution to Kaworu's writting as a character is minimal. You do know that, regarding Evangelion, the anime is the original and the manga is the adaptation, right?

@@AndreLuis-gw5ox That's what I meant by "before the mangaka got control". I am aware the manga was adapted from the anime. Does not change the fact the mangaka admitted he wasn't entirely certain of Kaoru's relationship with Shinji because he was working off what little there was of his appearance in the original source, or that he admitted in an interview that was merely his interpretation of Kaoru since the production timeframe of the manga and the anime did not let him get proper answers to questions he had.

No, it was stupid. I hate this show. I hate it here.

@@capilah6285 Haha I get that!!! Lmao I forgot I left this comment 😂 I was telling my non-weeb friend about Evangelion and how.... uh... interesting it is and she was very shocked! This show definitely can be jarring to new anime fans 😂

Lol

@@Seramoonn It wasn't stupid, it's a stylistic choice to draw out the scene to add impact and weight to it, as it truly encapsulates Shinji's emotions and indecisiveness.

@@MemoriesofRen haha I know! It was a joke😌

lmao I just skipped forward, saw that scene only after you gave it on the time stamp.

Unga

And I kind of love how they don't show us that. It's like we all know he's having a screaming breakdown in there but because it's Kaworu (and killing in general), it feels more intimate/personal to him somehow and witnessing it would feel sort of voyeuristic in a way.

@@uzefulvideos3440 yes it is that was literally the intention

​@@sydneyswan2983 Do we have the same understanding of that word? Kaworu sacrifices himself for humanity. Shinji knows he has to kill him. The music tells the audience that he will kill him. You might feel some combination of sadness, guilt, epicness, sublimity, excitement, melancholy. But awkwardness? Seriously?

@@uzefulvideos3440 awkwardness is literally part of the intention for the scene

Shinji: pls Anno I can't go on like this anymore I need someone to validate me Anno: lmao k *10 min pass* Anno: y'know what I changed my mind get in the damn robot and squish you bf

lol I love how a lot of the fanbase loves to ship these two in a romantic relationship, even anno confirmed it wasn’t that kind of relationship. Shit even Shinjis Japanese voice actor said she didn’t like the fact that their relationship was thought of that way.

​@@loganf8815people still saying this in the year of our lord 2024 😂 anno has said the whole gamut of things about their relationship, he wants people to decide for themselves

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LMAOOOOOOO

They’re gonna have a lot of news reports related to that soon

NOOO PL

It shows the exact wrong thing to do. Shinji is not visible, there isn't even a tremble from the mecha!

@@eduardolarrymarinsilva76 No it doesn’t lmao you can guess how Shinji feels just by how long he’s sitting there silently.

@@eduardolarrymarinsilva76 Perhaps in the world of a quip a minute cinema like Marvel movies that are popular now, I can see why so many people think this is a "bad" scene. Anno was inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey, a Kubrick film, and both are very talented visual directors with a fondness for slow, long, still shots, that convey emotion through minimalism. Directors like Anno, Kubrick, Kurosawa, David Lynch, they are all able to tell a visual story through minimalist, beautiful techniques. Artists like Kanye West have experimented with minimalism to critical acclaim. Less is more.

@@dylanabela4058 Marvel movies aren't relevant here. It's not about having constant action, a still shot can work but it has to have some purpose. If the purpose was to show Shinji's hesitation, then having the still shot show Shinji himself would have been way more effective: that's undisputable. And about those other authors I say, alright, cite me some scenes by those authors that have a completely still shot of similar length. Completely still, meaning neither the camera nor anything in the scene moves (periods that doesn't show a picture at all don't count), if the scene you cite contains a person, then you have made my point for me. If not, then I concede that maybe I am too close minded.

@@eduardolarrymarinsilva76 That's a false equivalence. You're never going to have a completely still shot in a live action movie, it's a different medium from animation. You're applying a reductionist argument to a whole movement of art. Minimalism transcends single still shots, architecture, fashion, music, animation, live action movies, paintings. You can't reduce minimalism to a single shot. What about the half a minute of a single piano note on Runaway(My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fntasy). Is that not as legitimate as a single camera shot held for a minute? There are many scenes in Kurosawa films, usually duels, that feature a static camera position recording static actors. The final duel in Harakiri features many of these shots. "If the purpose was to show Shinji's hesitation" If your scene is showing a single emotion you have failed. The shot of the Eva holding Kaworu in it's hand represents the absolute power that Shinji holds in that moment, he himself decides the fate of his lover through the power of the Eva. Other long shots in Eva, like Kaworu's death, also represent the downward spiral of the characters. Rei and Asuka head deeper into NERV as the scene winds on. Similar to Misato and Ritsuko in the elevator. Or Kaworu and Shinji falling down to Central Dogma. Using a physical descent to represent an emotional descent is a common trope evoked in works like Joseph Conrads' Heart of Darkness. The still shot also represents the subjectivity of Shinji's hesitancy. Holding Kaworu in the Eva's hand, as mentioned before, shows he wields absolute power, and absolute control. He struggles to exercise that absolute control. The audience begins to feel claustrophobic, impatient, and worried. As does Shinji. Shinji has been disembodied. Time has slowed down to a halt. He could have been holding Kaworu for a second or for an hour. The long shot of the Eva with Kaworu represents his hesitancy, his fear, his power, he has the ultimate decision. And when Kaworu's body falls into the LCL, the lowermost point of Central Dogma, which Shinji and Kaworu have been descending into for minutes, Shinji's descent reaches it's metaphorical apex. This is all lost if you have a generic shot of a hesitant Shinji for a few seconds.

Ha NICE!

Lmfao this supposed to be sad but now I can't stop laughing ;-;

And youtube isn´t lying

I feel its more like him struggling to decide what to do. The World's fate is literally on the Hands of 14 year old Kid! Amazing anime and amazing scene. Can't get better than this.

@Jagar Tharn "They" is yo mama

Probably because this scene feels a lot shorter. The elevator scene has almost total silence save for the hum of the elevator and Asuka's sniffle in the redone version of the scene. It's just entirely dead space. You don't quite know what either is thinking or feeling, you only know q silent tension hangs in the air. With this scene, it acts as the climax to an eventful battle, we're confused and sad and left with turbulent emotions just like Shinji, and we're left with the remainder of the song, seeing the hesitance to kill Kaworu, trying to sort out our emotions in just the same way as Shinji. Compared to the elevator scene, this scene has our mind and our heart racing, so despite being a still frame, it feels much shorter, and it feels like things are still happening

I can’t find it can you help

1:41

That’s me spending my paycheck on Mexican food to forget the bills

Least delusional fangirl

Rei warped there just to witness this epic scene

I believe Kaworu looked at her as if saying "I'm glad you understood me. You are Lilith reborn as a Lilin", recalling their earlier meeting in this episode.

​@@davidyoung5640no it was rei 3 the one we know had just died

Why did she look so skeptical though I don't get it

​@@ss16206 Rei at this point - in her 3rd incarnation - is finally realizing what she is; both in terms of being the mother of all of humanity given human form, and a clone of Shinji's mother. Considering (despite him choosing to nobly sacrifice himself) Kaworu's very existence is antithetical to hers (only angels or humans are supposed to colonize a planet, not both) and he's - intentionally or otherwise - causing a great deal of pain to her (sort of, considering she's a clone of Yui) son, it makes sense she'd look at him like that. In that moment, I wouldn't be surprised if every fiber of her being was telling her to fuck his shit up badly, and her face says that imo. She looks pissed. Even if Kaworu is doing the "right thing" (as far as humanity is concerned) in this moment, she still has plenty of reason to want to slap the shit out of him.

Yeah

Hell no this two seconds with sombrero and maracas wasnt included

tfw this person hasn't heard of the word hesitation

Supposedly people watching it air thought that their tv had messed up

Yay, that's why the joke with sombrero was made. It lasted an eternity

That quote is just awesome. In fact, Kaworu's proper name as an angel (mentioned in the manga) is Tabris, after the angel of freedom.

Also, sombrero

you've been watching your argent I'm guessing?

I... don’t think so. Before I start, I’m sure you already know but Anno had no intention to convey a religious meaning in Evangelion despite the numerous Christian references, but this doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be a reference so we’ll just set this point aside. I don’t see Kaworu’s final message having anything to do with fearing death or not, all I saw was him say life and death was equal, and that dying of his own will would be the best way to go, and possibly the only true freedom, since death instigates the end of both life and death, leading to an unknown and *seemingly* free conclusion to existence. And what better end is there than the end of your own preference?
