I had some confussion after watching EoE and the faqs helped considerably. ex. I at first thought Shingi had chosen to stay in his dream world with eva. So the ending beach sene would mean he would rather spend eternity strangling the girl who rejected him than know love and understanding with the merged human soul! Sound strange to say, but I lost at least 4 hours sleep thinking that not only did Shingi lose the rewards his pain/ suffering earned, He actively refused them in favor of hatred/ revenge! Thanks to the faqs and rewatching EoE I understand what was hapening now.(I hope) Though his decision to strangle the 2nd human to re-chose physical form can't be healthy its better than my 1st impression. On a side question Did Gendo Ikari Die? They show his headless body standing there after an encounter with Eva 01 that could'nt have been real in the physial sense. Shouldnt he have melted like everyone else? Did or didnt he join the instrumentality?
