>>3641620>just as Asuka herself says in this movie, she could've been saved had Shinji done somethingAsuka didn't say anything like that. Shinji admitted he didn't help her or kill her because he didn't want to take responsibility, and she agreed. That's it. She had already been infected before Shinji was given orders to attack Bardiel anyway.
>He literally ran away because he didn't want to pilot the EvaHe didn't want to pilot the Eva because his father was using him and almost made him kill one his friends with his own hands. There's no way he could've known an angel would attack on the same day he left.
>he AGAIN refused to take responsibility for his mistakesHe didn't want to do anything because every time he got in the Eva, everything went to shit and because his former guardian put a deathly bomb choker on him. It's ironic but if Shinji hadn't been moved by Kaworu's hope, they wouldn't have fallen into Gendo's trap and Kaworu wouldn't have died that day.
