Misato Katsuragi
Poor Misato, forever doomed to be killed off in an Evangelion finale just before everyone’s either turned into primordial ooze or the universe is rebooted. As was the case with End of Evangelion, Evangelion 3.0+1.0 saves its most noble sacrifice for Misato, who once again finds herself paying the ultimate price to give Shinji Ikari time to get in the damn robot. At least this time she got to do it on her own terms, crashing her ship into an unholy abomination at the end of the world to create the legendary spear Shinji uses to re-write said world into one where the Evas never existed in the first place. There’s a chance he re-wrote Misato’s fate too, but as we’re left with her unseen in the happy ending Shinji and his fellow pilots found themselves in, we’re left to wonder.
