The manga version of Shinji Ikari is significantly different from his anime depiction. In the manga, Shinji has the same issues with his abandonment, but is a much more violent and troubled youth, sometimes even turning physically violent, going so far as attempting to strike Gendo. He is also something of a smart-alec and slightly more forward and cynical when it comes to dealing with others, mentally thinking of Asuka as a "bitch" and initially being annoyed at her, unlike in the anime.
