The moment I opened this thread I knew I’d see a heated argument, lol.

Never gets old, especially when it’s between two series that are absolutely nothing alike!

All of you know that Shinji is still divisive character either one side think he's a very realistic protagonist or other side think he's straight up coward. While, I did find his actions to be very questionable(Hospital Scene) in the End of Evangelion movie. I do find Shinji to be overall very relatable protagonist.

Rebuild Shinji's growth is slightly more positive and actually grows to be a good person. Then, there's the manga version of Shinji.

By the way, the manga version of Shinji really changed my perspective on him. This version of him is much more aggressive, apathetic, brave and badass than Shinji from EoE. He's way less perverted and horny than his anime counterpart

If you take the best aspects of both EoE Shinji and Rebuild Shinji, then you put them into a one character that is in fact, the manga version of Shinji.

He takes much more active role in the manga and drives the plot forward than his anime counterpart. For any people who didn't enjoy Shinji in EoE, I think you will probably love the manga version of Shinji.

So basically manga's version of Shinji is like any other protagonist? Just a badass doing "hero" stuff. That could be an interesting version to see but I think anime's version might still be better. Atleast the anime version of Shinji is somewhat believable.

Totally agree with you there. It's funny how a thread about Evangelion doesn't even have that many people talking about Evangelion. Most of the posts here are just people arguing over One Piece.

I think anime's version of Shinji isn't better than manga version of Shinji in terms of character development and consistency. They are pretty much the same in terms of character writing, Manga Shinji takes much more active role in the plot and much more aggressive and less horny than his anime counterpart. Both are believable but with some minor changes.

Edit: What makes the Manga Shinji particularly great from his anime counterpart, his motives are made much clearer through his inner monologues in chapter 1 whereas in the anime, his motives aren't clear and I don't really hooked up into him as much as I did with Manga Shinji

I get what you mean. I haven't read the manga so I can't say for sure, but you pointed out the fact that manga Shinji is more of a badass character and isn't always horny and depressed like anime Shinji. The problem here is that manga Shinji just sounds like any other typical battle shounen protagonist.

But if the writing and development for both version is somewhat similar, I think manga version might be pretty interesting too. I'll give it a try sometime later.

Badass and brave doesn’t equal a great main character. The og character is just as great (if not more) cause he is actually complex and naunced.

For example characters like punpun from goodnight punpun or Griffith from berserk arnt labeled as great characters cause they r brave and badass lol. It’s cause theirs actual layers to them

I have. And I agree. I was referring to op saying that he is a lot more brave and badass, as if to say that that’s a factor which contributes to a character being well written and great

Atleast, the protagonist is not some creep who fap over naked girls. Ohh... wait, you are an Eva fans so Shinji must be relatable for you, don't tell me you also fap like him over....

at least they have a character development. Hell even Mushoku Tensei has some of the best character development even though it has been treated like a pedophile anime

Shinji is a great protagonist throughout the series and the rebuilds. The only exception is EoE where he and Anno were at their lowest points with Anno projecting his self-hatred onto Shinji.

I certainly do think that shinji is a great character. The author must have spent a lot of time and efforts to write him. Sure he has his flaws, but that just make him seem more human in a way. He did fab to asuka when she was in a coma and that was a bit weird, but at least he felt guilty about it and that just show how deep his character is.

Tbh I don't think that hating or loving Shinji is the point, but accepting him as who he really is and the experiences he's been through.

You see, his behaviour and actions never appealed to my benevolent side, but I kinda understand his choices along the way and, even though I don't agree with most of them, I accept 'em as they happened.

And about the legendary fap, (correct me if I'm wrong) at the time Neon Genesis ended the problematic fans were complaining and even threatening Ano for something related to how the story ended the way it did, and he was under a lot of stress because of it and other personal stuff (I guess) so, as a way of showing the middle finger to those sick haters, Ano put that scene on TEOE in order to kind of taint Shinji's character (that those "fans" liked so much).

His manga version is good, but one of Shinji's main points is that he's an extremely flawed character. Removing his flaws or making them less severe just so he can be more "likeable" takes away part of what makes him such an interesting character.
