“Look, Joe, this Asuka girl, some people say she’s the best, alright? They say she’s one of the greatest pilots in Evangelion, really fantastic. Some people, you know, they don’t get her – they say she’s too brash, too tough. But you know what? She’s got that fire. She’s got that fight, tremendous spirit, the best kind, really. They say she’s got issues, some big issues, but who doesn’t, right? And she's German-American, so she's got that blend of strength and efficiency, you love to see it. Great, great pilot, very strong.”
