What happened to Asuka in the End of Evangelion?

Asuka visualizes her corpse in The End of Evangelion. In The End of Evangelion, Asuka is placed inside Unit-02 for protection from the Japanese Strategic Self Defense Forces assault on the GeoFront.

Why is Evangelion so disturbing?

Does Asuka hate Shinji at the end?

Asuka:”The sight of you makes me so irritated!” Shinji:”It’s because we are similar.” To put it in simpler terms: she hates Shinji because she hates herself. The moment she will succeed to accept herself for how she is, she will also finally manage to truly love and accept Shinji.

Why did Asuka’s name change?

Changes have been made to her character, such as her family name being changed from Sōryū (惣流) to Shikinami (式波), continuing the Japanese maritime vessel naming convention.

Why did Shinji strangle Asuka at the end of Evangelion?

Shinji chokes Asuka to test his agency in the new world he’s created. That is why the first thing he did after coming to his senses was to place his hands around Asuka’s neck. To feel the existence of an ‘other’. To confirm (make sure of) rejection and denial.”
