By being the best written female character in fiction.
Unfortunately, this did not extend to Shikinami.

Instead of being a pretentious little bitch, name one female character who's actually written better so everyone can explain to you why you're wrong. And you'd better not name some 18th century slut from Pride and Prejudice lusting after some rich dude who didn't wash.

Nah that was just the reason she was named after Sailor Mars. Rei was supposed to be, and is, criitical to the plot, but Anno and the other writers didn't know what to do with her after she smiled. Enormous fumble.

>>285775104
>>285775066
Rei was and is critical to story and plot, far moreso than Asuka. Its part of the reason for why Rei eclipsed Asuka during NGE's heyday.
With Asuka its more like the director wanted more and more and just kept inserting more Asuka in Director's cuts to make her seem relevant, even though it only added flavor.
Fast forward 30 years and Asuka is Rei clone.
>>
>>
>>285775817
Yeah. Rei should have had more stuff with Gendo and Shinji, but the TV series dropped it. Rebuild did address both Rei and Gendo in a more satisfying way than the original/EoE, although it certainly messed up a lot of other things.

It says story and plot.
>>285775852
Never was originally, where she was introduced near mid series and written out ep before the end. More importance is placed on Shinji, Rei and Misato to resolve the story.
Neo-Asuka is Rei in drag, and there is no competition.

The reason red vs blue has lasted for 3 decades is because there is an actual competition here between them. They are both extremely good characters. In design, how theyre written, etc. It's not just that NGE is a classic and theyre the two girls from the classic, it's that they genuinely are head and shoulders above the vast majority of anime girls. And theyre both so good IN the same show. This kind of duality is very rare, where theyre both neck and neck in terms of quality and popularity. If there's a great show and a great girl, there isn't really much competition between her and another from a similarly great show and similarly great girl. It just doesn't work that way. But Rei and Asuka being who they are where they are is why you still see the war happening 40 years later. The very last two human beings on earth, in the far off year of 2029, post nuclear apocalypse, will argue about which of these girls is better
The truth is that [/spoiler]theyre both wrong because Misato clears

The "war" ended 30 years ago and Rei won by a landslide. What has been going on since is between different versions which no longer represent the original except for design. Even then, not fully since Asuka is taking design cues from Rei more and more.
It still goes on because the keep pandering to Asuka fans as if to change the past.
>>
>>285775989
>Rei was crucial to the plot
The problem is that NGE barely has a plot. Just a bunch of monster-of-the-week battles with mysterious technobabble and shadow councils in the background until the abrupt end. Rei doesn't get anything significant between when she smiles and when she dies, and then it was basically over.
>>
>>
>>285775952
She didnt and it made no sense for her to be so. Asuka isnt a major player in NGE. She goes inactive a lot sooner in NGE than 24. She isnt dead but she has no possibility to have an effect on the story compared to Shinji, Rei or Misato.
To fix this they cloned Ayanami, added red dye and chili, and gor Shikinami.
>>
>>
>>285775989
Rei was crucial as well, and is in fact the only other person that leads him to happiness in EoE and NGE.
Asuka breaks him down while Rei buikds him up you could say. Two sides of the overall movement.

>>285776046
*lost
Rei was more influential and more popular than Asuka could ever hope to be. Modern day Asuka is literally based more on Rei than her original character.
Only the most delusional of Asuka fans refuse this.

Only in japan, because the japanese have awful taste
Even Anno has said this
Everywhere else Asuka has always been more popular
>>
>>285776122
Design wise, and also the name.
But just the total background rewrite is argument enough. There is no way around the fact that they ditched the real Asuka in favor of a new character resembling Rei.
But again, personality wise, the new "Rei" isnt like the orignal Rei either

He didnt, pop polls online in the 90s and 20s showed Rei first historically.
Anno said Misato was more popular, but that was in 1 (one) con filled with sweatlords before most could realistically have watched a correctly subbed version of EVA anyway.
In Japan Rei has wider appeal and still is the only character from EVA to feature in overall character popularity polls.
EVAs new fanbase is curated to prefer Asuka, this is true.

>>285776244
It is largely due to rebuilds but also prior recharacterization of Asuka.
Instead of arguing like this, I suggest it is better to acknowledge that Asuka overtook Rei in popularity, in particular among loyal Eva fans who have a larger voice and a bigger reason to stay invested.

No she's a bitch
She refuses to be better even though she knows she should and can be, and she uses the failings of those around her as an excuse
It would be a whole lot easier for her to be kind if other people were kind to her, but she chose and continued to choose how she is

There are many examples of her being kind to other people only to be stonewalled by them
When she tries to have a heart to heart with Misato in the hot springs and gets shot down
When she tries to befriend Rei and gets ignored
When she changes the dinner plans to a ramen stand to accommodate Misato's paycheck and Rei's dietary preferences
Her efforts are never acknowledged, they're ignored consciously (Misato, Rei) or unconsciously (Shinji)
The only person that doesn't do this is Hikari, who is completely unequipped to understand or sympathize with what she's going through, leading to the two of them just getting frustrated with each other once Asuka collapses
>>
>>285777463
The issue isn't that she didn't try
It's that she takes the failed attempts as reason not only to not try but to actively make things worse and be purposefully unkind
She could be better, and she wants to, but despite that she choses otherwise
That is what makes her the worst
She's not just some shallow bitch that doesn't understand what she's doing beyond her shallow dislike of people, she's someone who has the capacity and recognition of that capacity to change and out of spite, fear, and lack of conviction retreats into being willingly stupider, less thoughtful, and pettier than she should be

Reminder of what Kensuke wants but cannot have. To put him with Asuka is putting him with a bad compromise.

Speaking of imposters There's a lot of scat doujins with Asuka, which is funny because that's the last fetish she'd indulge in.

>Ok then wiseguy, what's 2+2? And no don't say 4, give me a proper answer.
Nigga, just read more books.
There's Portia from "The Merchant of Venice," most of the characters in "To The Lighthouse," and even stuff from cinema like Marge Gunderson from "Fargo."
Heck, I don't even think she's the best written anime character. Those two kids from "My Neighbor Totoro" were amazingly believable as well. Or if you just really want well-written teenage girls with hot personalities, there are the two leads of "Ghost World." The graphic novel, that is; I haven't seen the film.

The moment I saw Anno had skipped the iconic Asuka-Shinji training montage in the Rebuilds I knew the rest of the movies were on a downwards trajectory

not baiting but misato is better written than asuka, asuka is good but she is bound to being one dimensional because of her hot headness quirks.
Rei is the opposite but with her dollesque stoic personality.
