What was his fucking problem?
Played with superglue.
Now his gloves are stuck together.
none
he was the only well-adjusted individual in the show
>>143216395
Why doesn't he take them off?
It's explained pretty thoroughly
>>143216443
Superglue
>>143216443
it would be extremely painful
>>143216733
He's a hairy guy.
>neckbeard
>glasses
>muh inexistent waifu
geez idk
>>143216346
He did nothing wrong. Destroying the world to get his waifu back is okay in my book.
>>143216346
his waifu decided she wanted to drift through space for eternity as a giant robot rather than raise their son with him
>>143216346
He is /a/'s idol. He went to such extremes just for his waifu.
>>143216443
Is actually the real person.
>>143216346
He created a living toilet
He didn't think anyone could love him except his waifu, so he didn't try to get close to anyone else, including his son.
>spends half his life messing with god to rescue his wife
>at the last minute his son blueballs him
Poor guy.
>>143219954
It was worth every penny.
>>143216346
>>143219954
>>143221902
EVERY-FUCKING-PENNY
To be fair, I'd let all of you fuckers die for the sake of my wife as well.
>>143218389
He's still a huge piece of shit. And he's definitely NOT my idol.
I had more empathy for him than for Shinji
>>143222995
I'd do that for your wife too.
>>143222995
We don't die, dude. We become one. We all do.
One.
He wasn't a bad guy.
>>143216346
afraid of getting close to Shinji. Loved his wife to the point where he'd fuck everyone else over just to get to her. Unsurprisingly, she didn't take kindly to the fact that he put their son through a lot of shit.
He had a pussy for a son
>>143216346
Dead.
Wife.
>>143216346
His wife was a selfish bitch
>>143225174
He was neutral. Neither good nor evil.
>>143223105
Not necessarily.
It's clear that Gendo doesn't want instrumentality for all of mankind, just himself and Yui. He says "death solves nothing" or something along those lines to SEELE.
I think Gendo just wanted to join with Yui in Unit-01 i and live the sort of life we see at the end of episode 26.
>>143228020
But by initiating instrumentality, he's doing it for all mankind, not just himself and Yui.
He wanted to be a god but Rei told him to fuck off. Too ambitious I guess.
>>143229250
He didn't want to be a god, he just wanted to be happy
Gendo did nothing wrong
>>143230054
His plan was to merge with rei and become a god. Rei decided she would take control herself and not be Gendos toy. I agree that he isn't evil or bad. His plan just didn't go entirely his way.
>>143216443
>he did take them off when he burnt his hands opening door for rei
>>143230205
In the end, what did it change though? Instrumentality still happened. Even if it wasn't on his terms that doesn't change anything
>>143230236
Well it certainly changed a lot for him. He went from being a potential god to not being a god. He got instrumentality but not the way he planned. Kind of important
>>143230599
>He got instrumentality but not the way he planned.
Yeah but what did it change in the end? He still got what he wanted.
I don't understand how Gendo's instrumentality, SEELE's instrumentality and Rei's instrumentality were any different from one another. The end result I mean.
>>143216346
His waifu took things into her own hands, regarding only their son.
>>143231053
He had issues way before he even had a son.
>>143216443
He has abad rashon his right hand
>>143230998
SEELE's dudes just wanted to be happy, something they couldn't afford even being the most powerful men in the world. Tang provided that for them.
>>143231351
I know that.
I just don't get why Gendo and SEELE acted like they had conflicting interests when they both wanted to initiate instrumentality, and why Rei initiating it in the end changed anything to the end result.
Everyone gets tanged anyway, regardless of who triggers instrumentality. So why?
>>143230998
For gendo, the end result in his plan makes him a god the way rei was. How complicated is this? Now he isn't a god because rei told him to fuck off. The end result is that gendo can't do what we saw god rei do in the series.
>>143216346
Well, his son is gay. Anyone who wouldn't force his gay son to pilot giant robots to cure his son's gayness is a cruel father.
>>143231426
>The end result is that gendo can't do what we saw god rei do in the series.
But whether or not it's Gendo or Rei who ends up becoming god, the result is the same thing: tang for everyone
>>143231383
Seele didn't want to give gendo the power of becoming a god
>>143231872
Didn't they know that they had the exact same goal and that nothing would have been different had Gendo been in control?
>>143225349
What was Gendo like at 14?
Was he similar to Shinji?
>>143232507
Maybe...
