MISATO:“I am nice to you.
Tell me, Shinji, do you want
to become one with me?
To be of one mind and body?
It's a very, very comforting feeling.
It's okay, you know. I'm okay whenever you are.”
Mr. Tines: An offer turned down more than once
dzzthink: As we journey through Shinji’s subconscious, it is unavoidable that we also see his repressed sexual desires, even though he is relatively self-restrained in the real world. The term one mind and one body is a clear indication of this.
UrsusArctos: Stuff like this makes me think there's a way to reimagine Evangelion as The Hunchback of Notre Dame with Shinji as Frollo, tormented by desire but terrified of being drawn into sin.
