What are you, stupid?!
~ Asuka Langley Sohryu

Asuka Langley Sohryu is one of the main protagonists of the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. She is a skilled pilot of Evangelion Unit-02 just like Shinji and Rei, help defend the world from the invading aliens known as angels. Asuka first appears in the episode called "Asuka Strikes!" and is taken in by Misato. Despite having a rough relationship with Shinji, she has a crush on him and gets along with him in some moments in the series. But she never admits this to anyone and keeps it as a secret.

Like Shinji, Asuka is an mentaly-ill Eva pilot, who is very insecure on herself and has issues when it comes to socializing with people. Her anguish stems from the neglect she has face as a child from her mental-ill mother, who mistook a doll as her daughter. Her mother eventually commited suicide with the doll, which traumazied Asuka.

In the orginal anime, she is voiced by Tiffany Grant (English) and Yuko Miyamura (Japanese). In the Netflix dub, she is voiced by Stephani McKeon.

Her Good Ranking[]

Her Heroic Deeds[]

  • She willingy saved the world from the alien threat known as angels.
  • In the End of Evangelion movie, She tried to defend NERVE headquarters from SEELE, who tried to kill everyone inside in order to activate Human Instrumentality.
    • While at that she fought against the mass produce Eva units, who were created by SEELE to destroy the facility.
  • Forgave Shinji despite the fact that he had sexually assaulted her while unconscious and attempted to strangle him to death by offering him emotional compassion after he had been broken by everything he went through.
  • Compared to Shinji, Rei and Kaworu, she lacks the intensely morally heinous actions that they took which resulted in them being Inconsistently Heinous.

Why She Doesn't Stand Out?[]

  • She fails the admirable standards when compared to Shinji Ikari, who achieved more acts of heroism within the series, and her deeds are standard in nature.
  • She is too wrathful to be PG or NPG, as she tends to have some outbursts throughout the series and sometimes antagonize some characters mainly Shinji and Rei. With Rei, she complains about her emotionless behavior and could not understand her as a person. With Shinji, she has tendencies of bullying him at the beginning of the series, though she was able to build a genuine friendship with him than she did with Rei.
  • She has not done anything to help herself stand out compared to Shinji and Rei. This is due to the fact she was introduce later in the anime and was in life support for a considerable period due to her suicide attempt.
