>>3095150As soon as I finished typing, it struck me that indeed Nadia is much closer to Asuka, at least Asuka at her worst, than Shinji. If not for the character design and Anno, people would probably not even draw much of a comparison between Nadia and Shinji.
Just an example, Nadia is strongly opposed to any kind of killing, at all, regardless of the circumstances. So when someone shoots one of the many guys who is trying to geher, her immediate reaction is to turn on her savior and accuse him of murder.
Not something I can really see Shinji doing. Or almost anyone, really, other than Nadia.
