ASUKA:“This sucks. It's my Japanese debut.
Why won't she let me take it out myself?”
SHINJI:“It can't be helped. That's the strategy.”
ASUKA:“Let me tell you something,
just don't get in my way!
Why did someone like him get chosen
to be a pilot?”
dzzthink: Love the dialogue between Shinji and Asuka during this episode, as Shinji cowers in the corner of his own screen.
UrsusArctos: The briefly deformed faces and Utena-style expressions add to the comedy. Asuka's arrival brings about a level of overt comedy to the show that contrasts with the earlier grim tone.
