▲ 10 r/asushin

I finally finish it.

it took its dear time, but i did it.

we left around chapter 10 if i remember right, so lets get straight to the point:

Spawn of Adam is not a normal Asushin story

episodes 11-20 are about their relationship, what they think of the other, what they think about the Eva, etc etc

but in 21, the story takes a turn.

it started very, very small.

the angels focused more in Unit-01, they attacked it first and with more power, but when zeruel arrived, they just started targeting Unit-01.

they were loking for Shinji, for its pilot.

they were not after Lilith anymore.

in the battle with Zeruel, Eva-01 awakened, and Shinji did too.

Zeruel was focused fully on killing Shinji, so the fight this time was awfully close for the most part.

Shinji won with the help of the Eva, but almost died right after.

It happened again.

Arael invaded Asuka's mind, and focused in the memories she had of Shinji:

the moment they met, the time Shinji saved her from being run over, their conversations, and took it all from her.

she forgot about Shinji completely.

after the death of Arael, Shinji distanced himself from everybody, and Misato had to handle a Asuka that didn't even remember who the third child was.

in the meantime, Shinji got all of his powers.

his regeneration got faster, his AT-field became part of his subconcius, and he managed bury his feelings for Asuka deeper, thanks to his angel half that hates humans.

eventually, kaworu made appeared, and told Shinji the reason why he was half-angel:

>!Adam is his father.!<

yeah, its in the name, but gonna leave it as a spoiler anyway.

the SELEE invasion occurs way faster than in the anime, and we get the "GATE-05" mini-arc, my favorite in all fanfiction so far.

Shinji fights the MPE's, and defeats 9 of them, but Asuka eventually appears and helps him, her only motivation being curiosity.

Why?

simple

let Ritsuko say my favorite phrase in all fanfiction so far.

>!"the body remembers."!<

Lilith appears after Rei evolves, and she fights Shinji, since she needs him to be subjugated for third impact to start.

finally, after a lot of fighting, Shinji manages to make a truce with lilith.

what's the cost?

humanity will suffer instrumentality, but they will all come back with all their memories.

with the exeption of Shinji and Asuka, who will forget everything about the other.

Shinji accepts the terms, and the "the Two Of Us" starts.

i will not dive deeper into "the TWo Of Us", since i am biased to believe is kinda mid.

it summarised into:

they dont know each other
they get attached
they fall in love again

BUT, here's the problem:

the second half of the cotinuation fic never came out.

so yeah, its incomplete.

finally, lets answer the question: is it worth it?

Spawn Of Adam? hell yeah.

the Two Of Us? maybe. i liked it and hated it at the same time. My opinion doesn't count.

the end of this series is here, and let me say "thank you" to the people who upvoted my posts about SOA.

i will tae my time making a full review if it and posting it in fanfic.net.

may God bless you all.
