Chapter 2811 Struggle
Father and son Gendou Ikari and Shinji Ikari finally took different paths. Gendou Ikari continued to complete human beings, while Shinji Ikari continued to restart. The reason why father and son made different choices is mainly because Gendou Ikari's goal is the limited love in his heart, and he can only find happiness in his heart.
And Shinji Ikari's goal is everyone's happiness, which does not mean that he thinks it is enough in his heart. Shinji Ikari is full, but he cannot think that others are full. Shinji Ikari is happy, but he cannot think that others are happy. He cannot rely on himself to achieve his goals.
Because of different goals, father and son took two different paths. Why did Kaworu Nagisa stop the third impact? It was because he knew that Shinji Ikari would not be satisfied with his and Rei Ayanami's life, and he would definitely blame himself.
If Shinji Ikari was satisfied with his life, he would complete himself in the TV version and the old theater version twice, and he completed himself once, and only himself and Asuka were left once, but he did not accept it, but chose to restart. So even if Shinji Ikari rescued Rei Ayanami from the Angel of Power, if the third impact really happened, he would definitely not be happy. So Kaworu Nagisa stopped Unit-01 because he wanted to help Shinji Ikari get a perfect ending.
However, after the third attack, the earth turned red and was no longer suitable for human survival. Only Misato Katsuragi and others could use purification equipment to restore the small area of land to clean. What's more pitiful is that Shinji Ikari became the scapegoat. How did he know that saving Rei Ayanami would lead to an impact? He didn't know at all, not to mention that he didn't rescue Rei Ayanami, whom he was familiar with.
For Shinji Ikari, the perfect ending is not his own happiness, but everyone's happiness. But this ending is too difficult, and in the end he can only choose to compromise. He can't make the world 100% in line with his wishes, so he can only settle for the second best and change himself. Don't pursue everyone's happy ending, but just delete the apostles, and let the rest go with the flow.
If the apostles are deleted, the world will become ordinary, and everyone may be able to find happiness in an ordinary world. Shinji Ikari is no longer a savior. He will not impose his inner thoughts on society. He will not become an adult like his father.
In fact, Duran thinks that a world without apostles is not good. It is more interesting to fight apostles.
"Okay, it's decided. From now on, you and Yui Ikari can meet once every Tanabata Festival. The rest of the time, you can live as an ordinary person. Don't do anything weird. If you plot again, then every time you plot, the meeting time will be shortened by twelve hours. There is nothing to discuss." Duran said that this is the decision.
Gendo Ikari was unhappy, but he didn't dare to disobey, because Duran gave him a feeling of being too mysterious and too omnipotent. So he could only say in the end: "You still say that I am idealistic, but I think you are the most idealistic one, the most unreasonable one. You are more evil than the devil, and you want to play tricks on people."
"Thank you for the compliment." Duran said: "But it's not that I like to play tricks on people, but you are too bad at changing. Not everything in the world will go according to your plan. You can't say that every time you encounter something that doesn't change according to your wishes, it is evil and a trick. Life is often not as you wish, and you have experienced too little. You should learn from your son in this regard."
If there is no Duran, Shinji Ikari will lose his mother first, then his best friend, then the beautiful girl, and finally his big sister. Every time he just got it, he lost it immediately, and just when he wanted to cheer up and be a savior, he was pressed to the ground and rubbed because of the unscientific combat and the magical abilities of the apostles, and he always experienced dangers.
Shinji Ikari was upset and emotional in various ways, and he couldn't make things develop in the direction he wanted. In the end, he was directly completed, leaving him confused. Isn't defeating the apostles saving mankind? How come after saving humanity, there is a big cleansing of the neurons, and how come it is an evil completion ritual? He was confused and had no idea why this happened.
After hitting a wall again and again, Shinji Ikari finally realized that if he collides with the objective world, he can't change the objective world, so he compromises.
Ikari Gendō relied on conspiracy and trickery to control the neurons, and step by step seized the leading power of the human completion plan. In fact, there is not much introduction to how Ikari Gendō became the commander of the neurons. It is very likely that the power of Ikari Yui's family helped, or the power established by Ikari Yui himself helped.
The plot only introduces that Ikari Gendō fell in love with Ikari Yui in college, then joined Seele, and then became the commander. After becoming the commander, he controlled Akagi mother and daughter through the beauty plan, and then got the key through the multi-faceted spy Kaji Ryoji. Then through the training of Ayanami Rei, he tried to establish a completion channel. Finally, he used his son to drive Unit-01, hoping that Unit-01 could exert its full strength to destroy all the apostles. This is his layout.
Of course, the commander also had to break through the process, mainly to monitor Seele and destroy the key to Seele's fusion, that is, Nagisa Kaworu. Nagisa Kaworu is also an apostle, but after being controlled by Seele, he was born as a human embryo and became the channel for Seele's fusion. So Ikari Gendō must turn Nagisa Kaworu into an apostle and then kill him reasonably.
Nagisa Kaworu also cooperated every time and gave the opportunity to Ikari Shinji. It's impossible to say that it's not true love.
Ikari Gendō's layout and breakthrough were smooth, and only at the end did problems arise. First, Ritsuko Akagi's villainy, which is not a big problem. Second, Rei Ayanami's rebellion, which is a big problem. Third, Yui Ikari's choice, she chose to help her son.
In the new movie version, there is also the rebellion of Yui Ikari's forces represented by Fuyutsuki and Makiba. If Fuyutsuki and Makiba had not given the Spear of Hope to Shinji Ikari, he would not have been able to restart a world without apostles in the end.
So Yui Ikari's family or Yui Ikari himself must have a force, belonging to the reformist selection faction in Seele. They do not think that fusion is the best ending, so they made other arrangements. It can be inferred that Ikari Gendō has been using Yui Ikari's reformist faction to fight against the original doctrine faction, but in the end the reformist faction betrayed Ikari Gendō and chose Yui Ikari's son instead.
Four major forces have emerged from the Human Completion Plan, the original doctrine faction, the reformist selection faction, the usurpation faction, and the opposition faction. Yui Ikari's reformists are definitely very attractive. After all, it is uncertain whether the integration of the original doctrine faction is good or not, so there will definitely be people who have doubts. If there are doubts, they can join the reformist selection faction and not put their chips on the integration side. And Yui Ikari himself set an example by entering Unit-01 and creating new options.
Ikari Gendō's mistake is that he took the success of the reformists as his own credit, and Kaworu Nagisa always said something like "King of Ririn", which simply praised Ikari Gendō to no end, but in fact, Ikari Gendō did not complete so much work alone, and there were also the efforts of the reformists left by Yui Ikari behind the scenes. Ikari Gendō is just a representative. Duran said that he should look at the problem from the perspective of people's history, and he should not learn from Kaworu Nagisa to look at the problem from the perspective of heroic history.
If everything was the effort of Ikari Gendō, then he would not be defeated by his son in the end. Because Ikari Gendō represents the usurpation faction, and Ikari Yui is the representative of the reformists. After Ikari Yui expressed his opposition twice, the reformists realized that there was a difference in the purpose of the usurper faction and the reformists, and finally they had no choice but to cooperate with Ikari Shinji. Of course, Ikari Shinji was confused, but Ikari Yui believed that his son's kindness would make him make the right choice.
