This is an additional hint of Asuka's need for other people's support. According to Satsukawa, Anno kept saying he was atracted to the main character. That she is still willing to accept this in a sense might indicate how much she also wants his affections, as long as they are committed. In this scene, Asuka's uneasiness and nervousness at Shinji being on her mind, and talking about him with Hikari, is made quite clear. It is at this point, after the two of them receive an earful from Fuyutsuki, that Misato decides to make them train to reach better synchronization with each other. When Shinji muses to the group about the praise he received from Gendo upon completion of the operation and how it might be his reason for being a pilot, Asuka, again a bit incredulous, makes fun of him for it, believing it to be a stupid reason. While beginning with the initial confrontation of Shinji with the comatose Asuka, the scene diverges with Shinji shouting the Asuka he wants to protect isn't the girl lying before him and Asuka awakening to attempt to strangle him (reminiscent of an attempted strangling of Asuka by her mother shortly before her suicide).

It is at this point that all the pent-up frustration and attraction, that the boy felt for Asuka, push him to masturbate right next to her. "Why does Asuka want to kiss Shinji? They are quarreling like a married couple. You think you can help me? Even assuming she was spiteful of Kaji, one doesn't understand the real underlying motive.

But before Asuka can finally break the reveal out loud, Bardiel sneaks in on her while she is distracted, and incapacitate her and Eva-02. The irony is that it's clear that as 14 year old teenagers without a purpose in life or anyone to care for them, they're both sexually and romantically attracted to each other. To put it in simpler terms: she hates Shinji because she hates herself. It's interesting to note that Asuka, while angry at Shinji, is not hiding her need to be understood and helped, as opposed to what she did in the real life version of the scene. Similarly, in Episode 24, when Ritsuko is confronted by Gendo during her imprisonment, she tells him, literally: "Now that I ain't happy even if you hold me. She begins to hear another voice within Unit-02 imploring her to live. Harkening back to Asuka's desire to be perceived as an adult, Kaji, whom Asuka now has further confirmation is lost to her, appears, telling her again that she's still a child which Shinji also says to himself earlier in Episode 9 when he catches a glimpse of Asuka crying for her mother.
