Crossover in the Anime World

Asuka's performance in class was a mess, so she stayed in class for training. Although she looked reluctant, she still stayed. It was obvious that she was not good at resisting authority. She found that Shinji Ikari's expression was disgusting, as if he was an idiot, as if he had been waiting for a long time and finally something was coming back.

But isn't it? The long-lost jeep pursuit training is about to begin again, and it's time to run wildly under the sunset of New Tokyo City and spend your youth.

start running.

When Asuka didn't react at all, with the roar of the engine, Duran transformed into a Jeep Demon and started training.

Shinji Ikari's two friends were cheering them on.

"Run." Shinji Ikari said to Asuka who was still confused.

Asuka had already seen a jeep rushing straight towards her. Although she didn't understand what Kan Erdai said, she couldn't help but followed Shinji Ikari and asked confusedly: "What on earth is going on?"

"It's Teacher Dulan's special training that can improve our driver's physical fitness."

Is this training? Why does Asuka feel like this is killing her? This isn't training, it's murder. She got tired after running for a while, so she jumped sideways and separated from Shinji Ikari. The girl thought that this would leave Duran with no choice but to choose one or the other. The possibility of chasing Shinji Ikari was about 50-50 compared to the possibility of chasing herself.

However, this was to underestimate Duran. He saw Duran shoot out a rope to tie up the girl, and pulled her to continue running. One in front of the car and one behind the car, the effect was the same.

Asuka felt that her lungs were on fire and she was about to vomit blood. If she had known this, she might as well have fooled the teacher in class. Just when she thought she was going to die, the car finally stopped.

"That's it for today."

Shinji Ikari was still unfinished, but seeing the girl's dying expression, he knew that Asuka was not familiar with her yet. He walked up to Dulan and asked, "Teacher, where have you been recently?"

"I went to investigate Seele's affairs and found that they are conducting various shady human experiments. I also said before that EVA is actually the body of the apostle. I found that Seele is trying to create an EVA that can awaken without a driver. , completely obey the orders of seele." "Obviously they will need these artificial apostles to do things in the future."

"No need for a driver?" Shinji Ikari said. Does that mean he is about to be abandoned? His mood was very complicated, and he couldn't help but said: "Teacher, you let us find what we believe in in class, hoping that we can think and act on our own. Even if the teacher leaves, we can continue to fight. "He looked at Duran and thought to himself.

Yes, yes, learning to read and understand is the first step to self-thinking. Although the effect is small, it is of great significance: "It is true, but it is not just that, because our enemies believe in incredible things, so we must also have something to believe in order to fight against them. Otherwise, they will do whatever it takes, and We couldn’t do our best.”

"Enemy?" This was the first time that the boy had heard Duran put forward the concept of enemy so clearly. He knew that the enemy must be Seele and its neurons: "Is his father an enemy?" This was something he had never thought about. We can’t help but ask: “What does my father want? What does he believe?”

Of course, I believe that I want to build a world where I can sleep and fly with my wife at all costs.

"Then have you found something you believe in?" Duran answered the question with a question.

Naturally, the young man didn't think of it. If he thought of it, he wouldn't have to hesitate so much. Things like saving the world don't really resonate with him. If it's a beautiful girl and a big sister, although it is realistic, it doesn't feel like he has to give everything. Is it for the sake of the public that we sacrifice private life for the sake of public service, or is it for the sake of the people around us that we sacrifice private life for the sake of public service? I don't know what to choose at all.

"Teacher, it's really difficult. I don't know what I should believe. I really envy those who have faith. No matter how absurd the faith is, they believe it at all costs. I used to know a person in a backward area, No matter how hungry he is, once he has food, he will leave a small piece for the gods. I thought he was too stupid at the time, but now I know that this is the power of faith. Although the gods never help him, he does not ask for anything in return. They believe in God and would not hesitate to starve to death. There is also an uncle who would rather be killed than help others without any regrets, because he believes that the world will eventually restore order." The young man thought of the various people he met on the road to survival. Such people couldn't understand these behaviors before and thought they were stupid. They were about to starve to death but they still wanted to sacrifice to gods. They couldn't protect themselves but they still had to help others. Now I think about it, this is faith. They are not stupid and they know it. Your actions are not good for you, but faith itself means doing it even though you know you will die.

If you ask for something in return, it's not faith, it's transaction. Shinji Ikari recalled that during the previous battle at Twin Mountains, a large number of workers risked their lives to assist in the battle. He was sitting in Unit 1 and protected by a force field, but they were mortal bodies, standing in the high temperature, and endured being struck by lightning. Angel evaporates the risk and strives to smoothly transport electricity across the country.

They all have faith, so they risk their lives. However, during the battle with Thunder Angel, he doubted whether he would take the blame and worried whether he would fail. He didn't even believe in himself, so what kind of faith was there? Therefore, the young man could only ask the teacher what the correct belief was.

In fact, there is nothing correct about belief. After all, the content of belief itself may not be realized. After all, it is not a transaction. If you believe in something, you will get something in return. Faith means that even if you lose your life, it may still be an empty talk, but just because you believe it, you do it at all costs. Both funny and tragic.

"It seems that you have realized that you have seen many different beliefs, and some of them are even contradictory." Dulan said and the young man nodded. He had indeed seen contradictory beliefs.

For example, those who believe in a better life and those who believe that integration is happiness are contradictory.

At the same time, Du Lan thought of a lot of two-dimensional universes. The story is a bit younger, where the protagonist is bullied alone, and then gets slapped in the face. The story is a little more complicated, that is, the oppression of groups by collectives, usually the oppression of marginalized groups by public forces, and this public force is basically a violent organization, such as samurai groups that maintain social order, and these groups are in At critical moments, they will take the blame and be betrayed. The final outcome is often that both fringe groups and samurai groups suffer losses.

In fact, the Third New Tokyo City completely conforms to this formula. Seele is the high-level executive, Neuron is the samurai group, and the apostles are the marginalized people. The apostles are suppressed through neurons, but in the end the neurons are also abandoned. The EVA universe feels miserable because the protagonist is a member of the samurai group.

If the protagonist is replaced by a marginalized person, he will feel that the samurai group is too hateful and the top management is too despicable, such as Luffy in "One Piece". But in all universes, there are few who directly confront the top. Generally, the samurai group and the fringe people are fighting. If the fringe people gain an advantage, the senior management will directly betray the samurai group, let them bear all the consequences, and use the samurai's head to calm everything down. , in the end everyone just pretended that nothing happened. The marginalized people may all be sacrificed, or they may take the place of the samurai.

In the works, the attitude of senior officials towards samurai is often very ruthless. They clearly need their lives, but they do not regard them as human beings at all. Although the samurai have their own thoughts, they still have to go to the battlefield in the end. After all, they are also people inside the altar. Although they are not the core, they also have to resist the enemies outside the altar together.

Therefore, the basic routine of many works is like this. The top management is mysterious and strict, commanding the armed groups under them to suppress marginalized people inhumanely. When marginalized people begin to resist and the armed group sees that it is no longer viable, the top management will unceremoniously abandon the armed group and reach an agreement with the marginalized people.

Of course, there are also some armed groups that conquer their superiors on their own, but they basically do not eliminate the top leaders, but use them as puppets.

It is these two forms that reflect the political ecology of the island country. The first is to sell out soldiers to maintain stability, and the second is to use soldiers to defeat the superiors. Now Shinji Ikari is on the first path, being betrayed at any time. He has noticed that there are contradictory beliefs everywhere, which shows that his understanding of the world has become more comprehensive, which will help him take the second path, or walk out of the unimagined third path. .
