Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Dying Moment of Awesome: Kaworu spends his final moments explaining to a depressed Shinji in great detail how he really did Set Right What Once Went Wrong, revealing that his daughter is still alive, and giving Shinji encouragement that he, his wife, and their friends would be able to save the world, while at the same time implying that he was behind the whole Peggy Sue part of the plot in the first place and did it just to help give Aki a normal life. Damn, way to be a hero, man.
Freud Was Right: "You know, we've both been 'thrown out' by our mothers. Wonder how people would interpret that."
Just in case you're wondering, it shows Aki dying all alone in the post apocalyptic world, while she yells at Asuka, saying that everything is her fault. Digging even deeper, the angel uses her memories of when she tried to abort the pregnancy, having Aki claim that Asuka never wanted her in the first place or that she just wanted to kill Aki herself (basically implying that Asuka ended up just as bad as, if not worse than her own mother post contact experiment).
The Woobie: Asuka, after returning to the past. Read Chapter 10. If you don't feel sorry for her, you might just be a soulless monster.
