Gendo and Shinji have one of the most complicated, and central relationships in all of Evangelion. The relationship is ostensibly one of mutual distance, but underlying feelings -- positive and negative -- remain.
Summary
Abandonment
Gendo abandoned Shinji shortly Yui disapeared into Eva-01, sending him to live with his "sensei". Shinji resents Gendo for this, even though it was he who ran away the last time they met, three years before.[1]
Gendo's Letter
When Misato asks Shinji if his father sent him a Nerv ID card, he hands her the letter that his father sent him summoning him to Tokyo-3. All of the printed out words on the entire letter are censored and blacked out because it is classified information. The only actual information on it is a handwritten message from Gendo which reads: "COME -- Gendo Ikari". Shinji presumably tore up the paper out of frustration at his father, and then taped the pieces back together (Perhaps after getting a load of Misato's picture!).
Phone Call
Gendo's Praise
Nonetheless, Shinji still longs for words of praise from Gendo.[2]
