""He's a kid, that's about it. Ask around. Ask him. Gendo threw him here to keep him out of the way, and if that's the furthest he can show about his concern then he can just go fuck himself."
 * There's at least one of these per chapter. Highlights include Unit 01 getting consecrated as a Titan, or the debut of . The author gets a meta CMOA award for what he's done with Shinji.
 * "Answer me this, then...where is the Shinji Ikari AS THE ANGELS SEE HIM?!"

That seemed to satisfy them somehow. "We'll be in touch.""

""THIS CITY IS TAINTED. PURGE IT! WITH BOLT AND SWORD AND FIRE!
