>>2228433We know nothing about Shikinami's past in regards to her mother or family period. Given that we're three films into the Rebuilds so far, I think it's safe to say that she had a normal upbringing, well in-so-far as being the Captain of the European Airforce can be described to be normal.
>>2228434>And I also sort of like that they softened up Rei and Asuka just a little bit.This is where fans on both sides will find disagreement. Soryu purists don't like Shikinami specifically because they removed all the depth and trauma that made Soryu an interesting character. Reifans were onboard with 2.22 because of Pokanami, but I don't need to tell you what they thought of 3.33.
>>2228437There are a whole mess of theories revolving around Mari's character. Is she Asuka's mother? The daughter of EoE Shinji and Asuka? A genderbent Gendo? Basically, as little as we know about Shikinami's past we know even less about Mari.
