It is when she drops this facade that she begins to truly improve and be more open. Sadamoto decided to portray their dance montage as a kiss in place of the one in the original series, Asuka would be Shinji's symbol for his longing for the opposite sex, differently from Rei. She is also much better friends with Shinji. While she still can be difficult to get along with and initially puts on a "good girl" facade in front of authority figures, she actually does have a more mature, caring and friendly side to her unlike the anime counterpart. She is not as verbally aggressive toward Shinji and more open about her true feelings. She is depicted as a blonde in the manga, rather than red-haired. Asuka Langley Soryu Asuka Langley Soryu is the Second Child and the pilot of the Evangelion Unit 02. The manga shows her thoughts and feelings, and shows she is indirectly in love with him, however Sadamoto clarifies no character connected fully with Shinji. She is slightly more talkative than in the anime and becomes more connected with the people around her, largely through her interactions with Shinji. A 2014 interview with Sadamoto states Rei and Shinji have love for each other, with Rei as a motherly existence. However, she progressively becomes more involved with the people around her, and is revealed to be a key factor in the events that conclude the storyline.
