Recording) “All stations on the way will be bypassed. Please be
careful.”Shinji knits his brows.Shinji “Iheard from my teacher that his job is important for
protecting the human race.”
thewayneiac: He doesn't act like that impresses him too much.
Keisuke-kun: How does his teacher know this?
HeWhoPostsStuff: Maybe that's what Gendo told him to tell Shinji if he ever asked?
Hexon.Arq: I wonder ifShinji really thought that that story was total bullshit. The way he reacts here, he seems to be pondering that everything he was told is actually looking to be true.
OMF: The first mention of Shinji's mysterious "sensei". We never get much information about this person. We never see them. We don't know age or gender. We can surmise that they were Shinji's guardian, but beyond that we know almost nothing. Youthink such a person would have been discussed a little more. Perhaps Shinji wasn't very fond of him/her.
