Asuka is an energetic,[130] proud[131][132] and enterprising[133] girl with a brave and resolute character.[134][135] She tends to look down on other people[136] and wants to be constantly at the center of attention.[137][138] Although she normally shows a stubborn and exuberant attitude, in some moments she exhibits a kinder, more sensitive and caring side.[139] Her abrupt and impulsive ways often arouse other people's antipathy, since they do not fully understand her real intentions.[140][141] Unlike fellow pilots Shinji and Rei, she is extremely proud to be a pilot and engages in missions with great enthusiasm,[142] but despite her apparently strong, aggressive and competitive character, Asuka suffers from the same sense of alienation as her companions.[143] Asuka suffers from a masculine protest,[144] a psychological expression that indicates exaggeratedly masculine tendencies in tired and rebellious women who protest against traditional female gender roles. She sees her male peers merely as rivals and spectators of her abilities,[145] and suffers from a marked emotional complex for the male sex, merging a so-called "radical rivalry" and a latent inferiority complex. Her masculine protest is reflected in her strong misandric tendencies, since she is dominated by the need to beat male peers with an obsessive self-affirmation desire.[146] Despite this, she also has a sense of admiration for her guardian and senpai, Ryōji Kaji.[147] Asuka is emotionally dependent on him, since she has a strong unconscious desire to find a reference figure to rely on.[148] Asuka's infatuation also leads her to feel great jealousy for him and to seduce him.[149][150] Newtype magazine noted how she sometimes beats boys[151] while being kind to Kaji.[152] Asuka's excessive pride prevents her from admitting—even to herself—that she feels something for male protagonist Shinji.[153][154] This leads her to attack Shinji's virility continuously,[155] directing both interest and open hostility towards him.[156][157] As events and battles unfold, her feelings of love and hate intensify and dominate her.[158][159] She kisses Shinji in the fifteenth episode,[c][160] but when he beats her in pilot tests, she develops an inferiority complex towards him.[161] Because of their intimate fragility and insecurities, Shinji and Asuka are unable to communicate effectively with one another on an emotional level, despite their mutual latent interest.[162][163] According to Newtype magazine, Shinji has feelings for her, while Asuka openly states her feeling of being frustrated with wanting him as her partner, so "her feelings for him as a man are less than they appear to be".[164] According to critic Susan J. Napier, they might be expected to develop a romantic attraction for each other, but their sexual tension is subsumed under Asuka's intense competitiveness;[165] Napier also noted that Shinji feels fear and attraction towards the maternal figures of the women around him, such as Rei or Misato, but only Asuka "is allowed to seem explicitly sexual".[166] In one scene from The End of Evangelion movie, Asuka is seen on a bed while she speaks with an angry expression, interpreted by writers Kazuhisa Fujie and Martin Foster as a representation of Shinji's libido.[167] Asuka is framed while she has sexual intercourse with her partner, in a position described by an official artbook as "of the cowgirl".[168] According to an official card game, moreover, neither Yui, nor Rei and nor Misato could be a woman for Shinji, while Asuka, the only girl equal to him, becomes the center of his desire. Shinji however uses her as an object to console himself and ending up hurting her.[169] Despite this, in the last scene Shinji meets Asuka in the new world after the failure of Instrumentality, just as he had wished.[170] Asuka's relationship with Rei Ayanami is also conflictual. She despises Rei, calling her "Miss Perfect" (優等生, yūtōsei, literally "honor student") and "mechanical puppet girl".[171][172] In a scene from the twenty-second episode, Rei and Asuka are left alone in an elevator; Rei states she is ready to die for Commander Gendō Ikari, provoking Asuka's anger, who slaps her and says she has hated her from the moment they met.[173] Shortly thereafter, Rei helps her during the fight against Arael, an act that destroys her already wounded pride.[174] Asuka has been associated with Ama-no-Uzume, a Shinto deity linked to dance and sensuality, as well as to the red color, typical of the lining of some kimono. Her ostentatious competitiveness originates from her childhood experiences, marked by the mental illness and the suicide of her mother Kyōko.[175][176] Asuka faced her loss by immersing herself in pride, becoming indisposed to any kind of help or advice and adopting strength and self-affirmation as her only raison d'être.[177][178] Tormented "by the fear of not being necessary",[179] she pilots Unit-02 only to satisfy her intimate desire for acceptance, longing to be considered "an elite pilot who will protect humanity".[180] She also wants to be recognized by others through her role as a pilot[181] and has been described as a perfectionist.[182][183] Her excessive self-confidence leads her to clash with Shinji,[184][185] gradually losing self-confidence[186][187] and becoming psychologically and physically compromised.[188][189] The Fourth Child's selection, Tōji Suzuhara, also contributes to the destruction of her pride.[190][191] After she learns of Kaji's death,[192] she questions the meaning of her life and her identity,[193] avoiding any kind of human contact and never meeting the gaze of other people.[194] Overwhelmed by the fear of being alone,[195][196] the young woman shows that she has a great and morbid need for the Eva, even more than her colleague Shinji has. In a scene from the twenty-fifth episode, she excoriates the Evangelion unit as a "worthless piece of junk", but immediately admits "I'm the junk".[197] In the director's cut version of the twenty-second episode, two scenes set in the ninth and fifteenth episodes were added, in which Asuka appears frustrated in front of the sliding door of her room and after the kiss with Shinji; from Asuka's dialogue that overlaps these scenes, it becomes clear that she has been looking for help and love from Shinji.[31] Her self-love represents an act of psychological compensation to be recognized in the eyes of other people. After her mother's mental illness, she represses her sadness and eventually decides to not cry anymore and to behave like an adult with a reaction formation.[198] Her memories related to her past and her mother are repressed and removed from her consciousness during this phase.[199] In the last episodes, Asuka completely loses her self-confidence. She develops a deep disgust with herself and suffers from separation anxiety.[200][201] The caption "attachment behavior" (愛着行動) also appears in the same episodes. The word attachment in psychology can also refer to the emotional bond that is established between the mother and her child;[202] Asuka therefore boards the Eva-02 like a child who instinctively clings to its mother figure.[203][204] Miyamura noted that Asuka was not called tsundere at the time, but agreed to the definition of her having to hide her feelings in 2007.[205] Furthermore, for Japanese philosopher and cultural critic Hiroki Azuma, she is the "symbol of the outside" in the world of Evangelion, taking Shinji away from his comfort zone in the "Nerv family"; in contrast to Rei, who'd play an "imaginary healing" role, Asuka would be an independent person in reality.[206] Critics also noted that Asuka is iconographically and psychologically opposed to Rei. Rei has blue hair and red eyes and is often associated with the Moon, while Asuka has red hair and blue eyes and is presented in the eighth episode, "Asuka Strikes!", silhouetted by the Sun.[207] Rei is also related to white; the writer Claudio Cordella noted how white is associated in Japanese culture with sanctity, light, eternity, while red is the color of sterile sexuality, traditionally chosen by unmarried girls or geisha for their kimono.[208] Japanese psychiatrist Kōji Mizobe linked Asuka's red to menstruation, compared to Rei's white to altruism, attributing Asuka's unstable behavior to a narcissistic or histrionic personality disorder.[209] Writer Dennis Redmond instead noted that Shinji's Eva-01 is purple, halfway between Rei's blue Eva-00 and Asuka's 02,[210] describing Rei as a symbol of an empty and "lyric neonational interiority", while Asuka as a mirror of a pragmatic and "outrageous multinational exteriority".[211] Polygon has written on how the two are different shades of the same spectrum of "feminine", neither of which is good or bad in themselves, and which Shinji must recognize as autonomous individuals by overcoming the Madonna–whore complex — the inability of some men to see women in their individual nuances, perceiving them dichotomously either as angelic beings or maleficent entities.[212] Rei has been compared to the Superego, Shinji to the Ego and Asuka to the Id,[213] the three intrapsychic instances proposed by Sigmund Freud's second topic, since the Id is the instinctual part of a human being. The three Children have also been compared to the three stages of the human soul postulated by the Jewish Kabbalah: Asuka to Nephesh, source of animal vitality, Shinji to Ru'ah, the soul, fruit of the raising of man from his purely biological aspect, and Rei to Neshamah, the spirit, fruit of the connection between man and God.[214] Others critics have linked Asuka to Ama-no-Uzume, a Shinto female deity associated with dance and sensuality.[215][216] Hiroki Azuma also described Asuka and the other characters in the series as "stereotypical characters", with no particular individual or aesthetic characteristics; Asuka, in particular, has been described as a "typical sci-fi anime character".[21] According to Azuma, however, with these stereotypical characters Anno would have been able to describe the 1990s.[21] Mizobe described her and Shinji as "communicationally disabled", a feature that allowed contemporary Japanese youth to identify with them even twenty-six years after the original series's airing.[217] Moreover, for the critic Manabu Tsuribe in The End of Evangelion she represents for Shinji the Other, another person separated from himself with whom he can never become one. For Tsuribe, the film concludes when Shinji recognizes Asuka as a separate entity.[218] The Anime Café's Japanese critic Akio Nagatomi, noting how other characters in Evangelion bear similarities with others from Gunbuster, a previous work by Gainax and Anno, described Asuka as a counterpart to Jung Freud.[219] Engineer Yumiko Yano also compared Asuka's dull gaze in the final episodes, locked up in a hospital room after a psychic and emotional breakdown, to the dolls of artist Katan Amano.[220] Hair=Long,orange,red hair clips.
