Lynn Minmay
In "," set three years after "The End of Evangelion" with a different Instrumentality scenario, Shinji is 17 years old; he lets his hair grow and is a good friend of Rei and Asuka. He first pilots the Evangelion Unit-01 Type-F and, after the attack of Eva0.0 (Quatre) and the unification of his soul with Eva-01, pilots the mecha Super Evangelion and its upgrades. In addition to video games based on the original animated series, Shinji appears in media outside the "Evangelion" franchise, such as "Monster Strike", "Tales of Zestiria", "Puzzle &amp; Dragons", and a crossover episode of "Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion", in which he is voiced by Ogata and pilots a 500 Type Eva transformable train. For "Shinkalion", Ogata voiced him as a more "level-headed" character. He is a playable character in the "Super Robot Wars" crossover video-game franchise, where he and other "Evangelion" characters work with characters from other mecha series. Shinji has crushes on other characters, such as Lynn Minmay (sparking jealousy in Asuka, who tries to recapture his attention). In other games, Eva Unit-01 goes berserk after fighting the fourth angel and he fights Kouji Kabuto and Mazinger Z. He later rejoins the battle against the Angels with Rei Ayanami.
