Buckle up. It’s time to go on a massive analysis of Neon Genesis Evangelion’s unsung secondary protagonist, Misato Katsuragi, presented by GC fiendswithbenefits.

Featuring!

• A look at some of Misato’s most important relationships, such as Ritsuko, Shinji, and Ryouji.
• An explanation of the infamous “kiss” scene from End of Evangelion.
• The three roles Misato wears and conflates.
• Who is Misato, really?
• And more!

She’s not just the attractive older woman, y’know.

Warnings for suicide, thanatophobia, discussion of sex, discussion of parental abuse, mothers and fathers, violence, abuse, profanity, abandonment, nudity, pregnancy, general negativity, and basically any trigger warnings for Evangelion etc.etc. It’s also pretty long, clocking in at ten thousand six-hundred twenty-five words. If I miss anything, let me know.
