As fans of Neon Genesis Evangelion know, the relationship between characters Shinji Ikari and Asuka Langley was… complicated.
Megumi Ogata, the voice of Shinji, referenced that relationship while having some fun with an Asuka-themed piece of merchandise on Twitter this week.
The merchandise in question was a plastic bottle in the form of Asuka, complete with plug suit. In Japan, you’re supposed to remove the plastic coverings from bottles before you recycle them, and Ogata played that up in a series of tweets in which she took on the Shinji role.
「アスカ…もう、君を捨てなきゃならないんだ…。だから、脱いでもらうよ。いいよね…？」

“Asuka, I’ve got to throw you away now, so I’m going to strip you down. It’s okay, right?
…ahhh I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sor”
「ち、違うよ！ 僕はただ、ペットボトルを捨てようとしただけだよ！ 『綺麗に洗って、カバーはちゃんと剥いてから出せ』って、父さんが言ったから！ だから！
…でも、綺麗なボディだった、、、
…最低だ。オレって」

“This… this is a big misunderstanding! My father told me to clean bottles before I throw them away! That’s all!
But your body is beautiful…
…I’m scum! I’m scum!”
…つい、ボディペイントを施してしまった、、、
…いやっ！ 仕事はしてるんだよ！
曲を聴きながら、詞を作りながら、手を、手を動かしていただけ、なん、だ、、、…やっぱり最低かも。オレってorz

“Before I knew what I was doing, I added some body paint…
…this is horrible! I was working! I was just listening to music, writing some lyrics, and my hands just started moving on their own… I’m the worst. I’m sorry, Asuka! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
Click on the tweets to see responses from Evangelion fans, many of whom were reminded of that scene from End of Evangelion. You know the one.
