To have someone you actually like.

And so Anno has the excuse to make Misato behaves like a bitch with him and everyone hate Shinji without even explaining why.
One thing I liked about 1.0 and 2.0 is that the characters are more mature. Anno has passed his depression and his characters are more balanced in the movie. I like that Misato hit herself in 1.0 after criticized Shinji for attacking the second angel instead of retreating. Shinji is a 14 year old boy thrown in the story to face nightmare creatures that have no physical logic, on board a machine equipped with divine powers and potentially dangerous for the for the entire planet (detail that no one, NO ONE, bothered to explain to Shinji).
So, yes, perhaps Shinji has destroyed the Earth in an attempt to save Rei, but no one has explained to him that this could happen. So, see Misato passing from reasonably responsible a person in 1.0 - 2.0 to an immature bitch "because Shinji must suffer loneliness and despair" is a bit annoying.
ForAmericansto relate to.

Epic fail. Wrong thread.
>>143007111
To smash Asuka's pussy.
And because Anno was determined to add another female pilot and didn't think he could change the story enough without doing that.
>>143007111
Side character?
Are side characters not allowed to exist?
>>143008119
Most of the Eva pilots were girls anyway you fucking simpleton.
>>143007111
Because Anno faps to your hate.
>>143007111

Mari originally was more involved in the plot for 2.0. According to (Eva-2.0 Complete records collection)
A 200+page book containing; behind the scenes information, original drafts, scene panels detailing alternative/deleted segments, ect....
http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii112/IrkenEvangelion/asuka-guro-2.jpg
(POTENTIAL SPOILERS)
Originally Mari was going to be introduced by piloting Eva-2 at sea fighting an angel on battleships, Mari/Kaji are both introduced to the cast while Asuka arrives later by plane, both Mari and Asuka pilot Unit-2 with Asuka being its designated pilot , referring to Mari as her "support fire"(later used in 3.0)
Eventually Mari with a higher sync ratio with Unit-2 than Asuka becomes its main pilot during the 9th angel attack, leaving Asuka devastated not piloting Eva (NGE style) Asuka then jumps at the chance to pilot unit-3.(o_o)
Mari talks with all the pilots, goes to the school, Convinces Shinji (face to face) to pilot Unit-1 during the 10th angel attack at the watermelon field; kissing him...
The script was later remade (again) to what we have now.
It is also worth mentioning that Asuka was originally in unit-2 during the 10th angel attack. (In the first or second draft for 2.0.)
It explains why during the Zeruel battle (when it hits unit-2 a second time) the camera zoom's towards Mari's left eye (implying it getting hit), yet later we see that it's the right side of her face that's injured.---Originally Asuka was in Mari's place and the scene showed how she lost her eye. The aforementioned scene was a recycled element from the earlier draft-and the animators just forgot (or were lazy) to edit the scene.
It wouldn't be Evangelion if the production wasn't chaotic.
