Last year we saw the end of Evangelion with the premiere of Rebuild of Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time, which marked the close of the Shin Evangelion anime movie tetralogy and connected the entire franchise in one grand finale. However, the first ending we fans had was in the movie The End of Evangelionand Shirogane Sama made a asuka cosplay recreating his worst moment.
Shirogane-sama is a very popular cosplayer for her ability to interpret the characters faithfully, as we can see with her cosplays of Asuka in the original costume of Neon Genesis Gospel. However, in October of last year the cosplayer Wolfoty published an interesting project that he made in collaboration with Shirogane Sama, called Death of Asuka: Awareness.

The project of Wolfoty consists of photographs inspired by the death of Asuka in The End of Evangelion, where he plays Shinji Ikari and Shirogane Sama is Asuka. The person in charge of taking the photographs of this interesting session was Ovsyan, who is also dedicated to cosplay.
Although in the movie The End of Evangelion we see Asuka fighting inside the 02 against NERV’s EVA series, in Asuka’s death project the cosplayers showed how they felt Asuka when his Eva was impaled. In another publication that Shirogane Sama made on her Twitter account, he presents us with another look, with the iconic spear in her eye.

Although the new end of Evangelion does not have such a brutal ending for Asukahis original death will continue to be remembered by fans of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and the cosplay that Wolfoty and Shirogane Sama performed is proof of this.
