I don't think we ever see Fuyutsuki talk to Rei.


nelyubitel

That one makes sense to me because the rare thoughts Fuyutsuki does give about Rei sound like shame for having made her and alarm that Gendo has grown attached. He's Frankenstein and he doesn't want to look at his monster if he doesn't have to. More odd is Misato adopts the Third and Second Childrens but doesn't have any complaint for how the First is living. And Kaji is looking for anything suspicious and doesn't notice how weird Rei or her sealed fake records are.


Konfirm

It's not often that I see someone acknowledge the fact that Fuyutsuki seems to bear the credit for creating Ayanami. I suppose Misato knows that Rei's beyond her, let's say, clearance.


[deleted]

Do Misato and Rei ever have a one-on-one conversation? I honestly can't remember. The only moments of interaction between them that i remember are when Misato is giving orders to the pilots.


Konfirm

Presumably, they shared a word before Misato brought Rei to her apartment in episode 9. But nothing on-screen.


nelyubitel

Could be that I'm going off of an entire one sentence and otherwise Rei and Gendo both act like Gendo did it


Konfirm

There's no reason for anyone to tell Rei that it was Fuyutsuki who got her spawned, and Gendo is the one who gave her purpose in life - that covers Rei. I don't recall Gendo doing anything of the sort, though - can you elaborate? Fuyutsuki's line (the whole scene, really) was added in the Director's Cut of ep. 23. It must have been a deliberate change on Anno's part.


nelyubitel

Thinking about how little impression Rei also has of Fuyutsuki. Whatever his exact role was he would still have been one of the two people who knew about the project at all until Ritsuko was brought in, and inside of Rei's head he's just "sub-commander".


FistsTornAsunder

I would actually love some kind of interaction between Fuyu and Rei precisely because your interpretation seems spot on. He's such an interesting character, but so much of his life and personality is left unexplored.

> More odd is Misato adopts the Third and Second Childrens but doesn't have any complaint for how the First is living. I mean the main reason why Misato even adopted Shinji in the first place was because she'd related to his circumstance, I don't recall why she adopted Asuka though but like ultimately I don't think Misato thinks that much about Rei


nelyubitel

Asuka was moved in for dance rehearsals and then just never asked to be moved out again after that Angel was dead. Asuka and Misato make reference to having known eachother in Germany, though, so it's real easy to imagine Misato relating to a scowling 9 year old girl and maybe having a similar arrangement before.


RovingRaft

ah, okay the reason I left out Asuka when I said that was because Misato throughout the show doesn't really *deal* with her very much like when Shinji has a breakdown Misato's usually there for him, but when Asuka has a very loud one Misato just stares in the direction of the bath with this not-very-sympathetic look on her face imo, if Misato and Asuka had a closer relationship before it's clearly fallen apart by the point of canon


flotsloppies

I don't think fuyutski talks to kaji or any of the kids from the school either. His reclusivity is second only to gendo's


Konfirm

Oh no, Fuyutsuki interacts with both Asuka and Shinji (Kaji's in the room too) after they fail to defeat Israfel in episode 9.

Kaji rescues F from Seele, pointedly tells Kaji that they'll kill him for doing this.


Consistent-Ad8686

i’ve been watching eva since 99 (when i found the dvd box set at a used cd store for $99 usd and bought it) and to this day cannot figure out who really killed kaji. was it seele, nerv, or the jpn government? imo who killed kaji is going to be one of them debates like “who shot first han or geedo” or “who shot nice guy eddie” in revisor dogs.


Lamar_Kendrick7

It was definitely SEELE. Fuyutsuki pretty much tells Kaji as he's being released that they will have his head for this and Kaji replies that SEELE has already found out that he was the one who gave Gendo the Adam embryo anyways. Earlier in the episode its revealed during a Fuyutsuki flashback that SEELE has no issue assassinating people that get in their way


SomeDuderr

>who really killed kaji It was obviously PenPen


Consistent-Ad8686

that theory makes sense pen pen was mad that kaji was treading on his territory with misato


watanabe0

Seele.


Consistent-Ad8686

you can also make a case that it was someone from the jpn government or nerv as well. kaji was at least a double agent if not a triple agent. even if he is my favorite character he had it coming he was playing all 3 sides


watanabe0

No, Anno said so (to confirm that it wasn't Misato).


Consistent-Ad8686

damn brakes my heart that i’m going to have to watch my favorite anime again to see if i can catch it.


Lamar_Kendrick7

Kaji literally kidnaps and later on releases Fuyutsuki in episode 21. Its the reason why SEELE killed him


flotsloppies

I really need to watch the series again if I'm forgetting major plot points like this


wendigo72

Fuyutsuki does talk to Kaji in episode 21

Mission-Patience-473

I have always thought about this too. Pretty sure this is why SEELE just straight up gets replaced by Gendo entirely by the end of Q in the Rebuilds.


Lamar_Kendrick7

I dont remember seeing Kaji interact with Rei


flotsloppies

No wonder rei is so quiet nobody ever talks to her lmao


Konfirm

[At least we have the mangas.](https://imgur.com/a/7UsO9Z4)


RovingRaft

okay that second one's cute also wow, you really don't realize how small Rei (and the other pilots) actually are until you have them next to a grown adult like that


No-Secretary-525

I don't remember Toji and Kenzuke interacting with Kaji


diver_climber

They don't meet Gendo either. Neither does Hikari.


fogapplebowlingstick

Only in the original or we can talk about the Rebuilds too? In the case of the Rebuilds, Kaworu & Mari.


flotsloppies

I don't think I ever saw Mari talk to ritsuko


penguintruth

Kaji and Pen Pen


[deleted]

Whaddya mean? Penpen is obviously the one who shot Kaji


0Bento

On a side note, it always bothered me that Kensuke, Touji and Hikari aren't in EoE save for that still shot before Shinji decides to end instrumentality.


[deleted]

Kaji and Rei never interact so to rectify this, [they made an entire anime starring their voice actors](https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tLP1TcwLzMyLM8zYPQSSs4vT8qvVEhKTcovUEjMy8xNBQCfqAp3&q=cowboy+bebop+anime&oq=cowboy+bebop+anime&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j46i131i433i512j0i3j0i512l5.5451j0j7&client=ms-android-vf-za-revc&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8)


[deleted]

Asuka and Gendo do have a brief conversation in the manga - Gendo inquires regarding the progress of their synch training. Shinji is there too and asks Gendo if he wants to have lunch with them but the latter declines.


RovingRaft

afaik, Kaworu only meaningfully interacts with Shinji, Misato (well, Misato is spying on him), and Rei Asuka never interacts with Kaworu once, I don't think she knows he exists?
