I believe that I must agree that Asuka is indeed a very proud individual by nature; for she has to be since, because of lack of loving parents, she needs someone to be proud of her as a parent would, so she is proud of HERSELF. Also, I believe this personality was meant to conflict with Shinji's, since he lost his mother at a young age while Asuka (in mentality) acts like a mother. Note her always saying things like "don't be stupid" or other somewhat motherly things (I will say don't be stupid isn't exactly motherly, but it does relate to 'dont do anything you'll regret later', which is often told to small children.) She is also quite cruel to Rei, since Rei never had a mother (in theory) and therefore rejects that idea. Asuka is cruel to Rei because if Asuka "Is a mother-figure" and Rei rejects a non-existent mother, then Rei is like a defiant child and so Asuka must be quick to repiemand, therefore the cruelty. You may take my theories a number of ways, but I believe there are limits to the ways you can take them... --KidManga, 8:33 PM (EST), April 28, 2006

I want to express my gratitude to those who really helped to punch up Shinji, Rei and Asuka's pages. They are fantastic now. Also, do you think you guys can give Misato's page some love also? I mean, it's alright, but it does not have the deluxe treatment and I think it needs some spicing up (Especially the reception section). --PeteStacman24 (talk) 01:41, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi everyone.
I saw that the nationality of the character is wrong. I checked diverse sources and everything indicates that Asuka was born in the USA. There is also no source indicating that she born in Germany, has German nationality or even multiple citizenship.
The funny thing its that the quote that affirmed her birthplace as Germany in the previous version of the article was "Evangelion Chronicle vol 14 page 23" thing that its completely false. I checked Evangelion Chronicle Vol. 4, page 7 and Vol. 14, page 23 and it confirms that she's American. So the person who added that quote was deliberately lying.
Anyway, due to the likely controversy of this topic and the confimation that some editor was manipulating sources, I had to add several sources in the article and create this section in the Talk page as witness.
Sources in the article I just added:
Extras
日本人とドイツ人のクォーターだが、国籍はアメリカ。- She is a quarter Japanese-German, but her nationality is American.

@TeenAngels1234: Thanks for move the sources in a more suitable location. But i want to ask. There's any problem with the sources number 1 and 3? I saw you deleted the links to archive.org I added. And in the number 3 you replaced it with the French version, when I added the English version. Gibson Nash (talk) 22:26, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi, again.
Here it is the info of the Masterguide
Also thank you for correct that the source number 4 is Chronicle Volume 3 and not the 4. My mistake. Here it is the scanned page if you think is good idea added it. In addition, this magazine does not have an ISBN.

Also here it is another source, yeah many many sources, but I think this topic can be really controversial for most of the fans, due in the TV series her nationality is never explicitly mentioned and the common sense can deduct that she is German.
https://archive.org/details/page-4_202203
«Japanese: 日本人とドイツ人の血が入ったクォーターで、国籍はアメリカ。/ English: She is a quarter of Japanese and German blood, and her nationality is American.»
PS. Theres an anonymous user who is altering the article. If you see the history, you can see this user made a mess. Also this user is altering articles in the spanish version, already I reported it but in the spanish wikipedia. I don't know what is the protocol in the English version

Hi, again.
In real life, a child cannot have only and only the US citizenship if was born in another country. This child must have, first a "primary citizenship" after that the US parent can apply to give to the child the American citizenship, but the child would be have multiple citizenship. And how I said before there is no source indicating that she has multiple citizenship.
Also correct me if im wrong, but in the characters profiles in Evangelion Chronicle it is not used the word "Nationality" in cases of characters who we know certainly were born in Japan? As Ritsuko, Misato, Shinji, etc. So I take this as 100% her birthplace was the US.
PS: Yeah I have all the numbers of Newtype and Chronicle. Any topic in particular you need? Or you still talking about Asuka?
Gibson Nash (talk) 00:15, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
I want to talk about this topic. The table in the article says that she is Japanese, when she is 25% German, 25% Japanese, and 50% American. I admit that I am ignorant on the subject, I do not know if American can be considered an ethnic group, due of the history and diversity of blood in the American citizens.
However, I want to hear what you think. Is it better to add the 3 ethnic groups? Or just Japanese and German?
But to be honest, I am of the opinion that the paragraph ethnicity is unnecessary and should be removed from the table. Gibson Nash (talk) 22:40, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
