Crossover in the Anime World

Who am I and why am I? The answer to this question is generally to identify oneself through outsiders, and to distinguish oneself through the differences between oneself and them.

Duran told Shinji Ikari that he was not driving Unit 1, because as long as there is no spiritual barrier, Shinji Ikari can become anyone, even an apostle, because humans and apostles are originally the same thing, emerging from the same source. As long as there is no at force field, everyone is the same.

Shinji Ikari has been thinking about why he is so unlucky, but Dulan said that his troubles are not exclusive to Shinji Ikari, but belong to everyone.

Shinji Ikari must have been unable to turn around, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so long completing himself in the TV version. After the boy defeated all the monsters, witnessed the sacrifice, and experienced hardships, he finally got over his self-loathing. The growth was completed amidst everyone’s congratulations.

Recognize your own shortcomings, then be kind to yourself, then try to like others, and be firm that I am who I am.

Now what Du Lan said, Shinji Ikari didn't understand at all. If he understood, he would not be a problem boy, but a young Buddha, who would directly reach Nirvana and enlightenment, and be freed from the sea of ​​suffering.

The young man now only feels that some of the things Dulan said are right, but some of them he doesn't understand. The right part is the historical point. Human beings have been distinguishing themselves from others from the beginning, and then harming others.

What I don’t understand is the harmonious part. The human group is constantly expanding, constantly accommodating others within its own scope, but it is also constantly creating circles within the group to keep itself different from its compatriots. Shinji Ikari feels that human beings really need to divide more than unite.

So Shinji Ikari doesn't think that he can be anyone else, and he doesn't think that others can bear his pain when he was on Unit-1. He is still hiding behind the at force field.

"Teacher, I can't understand you, just like I can't understand you." Shinji Ikari said: "If the barriers between ourselves and others can really disappear, then shouldn't we understand each other when we are standing here? Why don't I Do you understand what you are talking about? Or, teacher, are you hiding something from me?"

The young man asked a question very smartly. If he thought according to what Dulan said, the two of them should be able to understand each other. But the problem was that the young man didn't know Dulan's purpose at all.

"You are very smart and a piece of jade, so I have to teach you well. When you reach your father's age, your achievements will definitely surpass his." Duran used the encouragement education method and gave Shinji Ikari input with firm conclusions. vitality.

It was indeed the first time for Shinji Ikari to hear such praise from someone. In the past, someone would praise him for playing the cello well, and it was precisely because of the recognition that he could continue to persevere. After all, cello is his best skill, the only thing that can make him better than others. This is the first time I heard someone say that he can surpass his father. To be honest, the position of Commander Neuron is already a world-class figure. Even when he goes abroad, he can still hear Gendo Ikari's name. The boy never thought that he could become a big celebrity like his father. Although he is now a celebrity, a celebrity within Seele, but it was mainly because of the incident of "Ikari Yuantang sent his son to Unit 1". Being famous, as for the young man defeating the apostle twice in a row, it is not something to be proud of.

Defeating the apostles was not the result of Shinji Ikari alone. It can even be said that Shinji Ikari did not gain anything from the process of defeating the apostles.

The first time he went up there, he ran away inexplicably, and Shinji Ikari's memory was vague. Shinji Ikari's performance was not good the second time. Although he defeated the apostle despite his disobedience in the end, it really could only be regarded as the apostle being too weak. It was luck rather than strength.

After that, Shinji Ikari will continue to fight, but most of it is done according to orders, mechanically completing other people's requests, rather than using his subjective initiative to defeat the apostles. Even though he asked for battle twice for Ayanami Rei, he showed some fighting will in the battle between Thunder Angel and Power Angel, but more often he really completed the order and won, rather than discovering the apostle's weakness in the battle and relying on his own strength. Use your super driving skills to defeat your enemies.

In Shinji Ikari's battles, the war room puts forward combat requirements, and then Shinji Ikari completes them. It can be said that there is no sense of accomplishment. Once you leave the war room or deviate from the expected plan, you can only rely on running away. The pilot's role in the entire process of defeating the enemy does not seem to be that big. Anyone can be replaced, but the synchronization rate between Shinji Ikari and Unit-00 is relatively high.

Shinji Ikari's victory never belongs to one person. Without him, anyone else can still win as long as they follow the orders of the war room.

As for the few times he went berserk, although it was definitely Shinji Ikari, the young man was actually confused and didn't know why he won, as if he had a guardian spirit.

In fact, in Seele's plan, humans dominate the integration, and there is no special existence. Everyone is a part. It's just that Gendo Ikari sent his son up and gave him the treatment of a protagonist, making Shinji Ikari seem to be the unique pilot of Unit-1. It seems that he can't do it without Shinji Ikari. Actually it's not the case. There is no protagonist in Seele's plan, because in the end humans complete the plan and everyone is the same.

It was Ikari Gendo who made Shinji Ikari a special being and gave the entire completion plan a singularity.

Of course, the boy didn't feel like he was the protagonist. After all, he followed the instructions step by step during the battle. Another person might be able to execute it better. So even if he wins, the boy doesn't have much sense of accomplishment. It is obviously a great cause to save mankind, but the young man only feels empty and meaningless, because he does not subjectively want to save mankind, but just completes the work assigned to him by others, and in fact he does not like this work. of.

Shinji Ikari doesn't like piloting Unit 1, just chasing ducks to get on the shelf. As for saving mankind, it can only be regarded as a by-product of completing the mission. For the boy, responding to the expectations of his elder sister, protecting the safety of the beautiful girl, and gaining his father's approval are the direct reasons for him to drive Unit 1, and these goals need to be achieved by completing the driving job.

If the work cannot be completed, then Ikari Shinji has never thought about the destruction of mankind. He is just worried that he will let down his eldest sister, lose the beautiful girl, and disappoint his father.

Therefore, Duran must encourage education and train the young man, connect his fate with the fate of others, take him out of the greenhouse to see the world, and exercise his skills and voice so that he can escape in battle. In the war room, or without going berserk, he can still complete the battle independently and win, which improves his ability and subjective initiative.

The hero's harvest is not only the final reward, but also the experience learned during the battle. If you just follow the script and complete the combat missions in the war room, you are just a mediocre pilot. If you just rely on Unit 1 to run wild to complete the combat, you are just a lucky pilot. Don't rely on the big sister in the war room, nor the good mother in Unit-0, Shinji Ikari must learn to fight on his own.

"It's okay if you can't understand what I'm saying now. What's important is that I can guide you to become a real pilot. Although you are sitting on Unit 1 now, you are just a part. You have never achieved the unity of machine and self. The true unity of machine and self." The driver can defeat the enemy with just his voice.”

The boy said was that a driver or a KTV killer?
