Talk:Episode 09

Asuka: "Then, that means we're all alone tonight! <3" Shinji: "?" Analysis

sigh I really wish EMF was up right now... So is there not going to an Analysis section about Asuka's extreme flirting and Shinji's not noticing this in the "Misato will be at work all night" to the "This is the Wall of Jericho!" scene? Basically, Asuka seems interested in, uh, doing things with him (just how far is best left up to the viewer's interpretation, I guess), Shinji doesn't pick up on this, so Asuka gets pissed and sleeps in Misato's room. The lights dim in Misato's home, and Asuka complains "How can Japanese sleep on the floor?" before the scene changes.

During the extended mindrape sequence in Episode 22', when Asuka closes the door Misato's room, she's hanging her head dejectedly at the door and actually thinking "You won't do anything!" despite her outwardly complaining about something not related (Can you say defense mechanism?). I thought this would be an important scene to analyze/point out, since it's one of the most important A/S scenes (being referenced in 22' and all) and its something people miss unless somebody point its out to them (what happened with me, for instance.) --Sailor Star Dust 23:07, 25 August 2007 (EDT)

I'm planning to do a full analysis of the Shinji/Asuka relationship on its own page and link to it from Eps. 09, 15, 22, and 26" --thewayneiac Aug. 25, 2007 23:14 EDT.

I don't think we should go so far as to say "she wanted something sexual to happen"--V 00:19, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

V, I agree with you in terms of Asuka not necessarily wanting something sexual. Personally, I think Asuka just wanted some comfort (especially since she seemed to like Shinji right away); at the most I'd think there'd be some making out/spooning only. After all, by that point, Asuka only knew Shinji for a little over a week or so! O_o And The wanyeiac, cool to know your going to that. I'll certainly contribute to such a page. ^_^ --Sailor Star Dust 19:58, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

"I think Asuka just wanted some comfort": NO WAI. Everyone knows that when she calls Shinji a pervert she's just projecting.

That may or may not be serious. --Reichu 20:26, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

I'd rather phrase it as just "wants attention" or something less speculative. --V 21:04, 26 August 2007 (EDT)
