>>3592944It's from that interview where she said she wants Asuka away from Shinji, it's old as fuck, I deleted all my Eva stuff after the movie so hope someone can give you a link. Iirc it went something like Asuka needs what Shinji had, someone like Kaworu who would understand or form a true bond with her, to be happy. And like that Anon said, people added to this that comment.
>Miyamura said Asuka needs a Kaworu>People that hate Shinji agree and start shipping Asuka and Kaworu more>Years later Higuchi calls Mari a female Kaworu>People get another excuse to ship MariAsu
