Toji shows himself to be a reliable field agent and right hand to now Commander Misato Katsuragi. His relation with Hikari has reached a point where they now kiss each other and he serves as a big brother figure for Rei Six. This was however canceled as Bardiel's infection was detected and thus he was grafted with mechanical limbs instead. His severed limbs were to be replaced by new ones grown from his body cells. In Neon Genesis Evangelion: ANIMA, Toji is 17 and still part of NERV Japan. Toji is also killed when Unit-01 crushes Unit-03's entry plug.Īnother change was to Toji's hair color, which went from black (in the anime) to dirty blond/light brown (in the manga). Shinji learns that Toji is Unit-03's pilot before the battle rather than afterward, leading to his refusal to destroy the possessed Eva. His interactions with Shinji are mostly identical to the anime however, after he is selected to be the pilot of Unit-03, he confesses to Shinji that he is terrified of the task and is ashamed of his treatment of Shinji when they first met. He is prone to violent displays of temper (even more than in the anime) and is more verbally abusive toward Asuka, calling her a "bitch" multiple times. In Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's manga adaptation of Evangelion, the English translation of Toji's dialogue gives him a distinct accent, which could be described as a "New York gangster" dialect, an English approximation of Toji's Osaka-ben dialect. He appears at the end of episode 26 in Shinji's subconscious. Along with Kensuke and the rest of his class, he is eventually evacuated from Tokyo-3 what happens to him after that is unknown. Toji survives but is critically injured, losing his left leg. After the battle, Shinji learns that Toji is the pilot as the wreckage of the entry plug is examined. Unit-01 proceeds to tear Unit-03 to shreds and crush its entry plug. However, Gendo orders that Unit-01's Dummy Plug system be activated, overriding Shinji's control. All the other Evas are deployed to stop Unit-03, but Units 00 and 02 are quickly defeated, and Shinji refuses orders to destroy Unit-03, wanting to try to save the pilot. When Toji is inserted in the entry plug and the Eva is powered up, Bardiel takes over and the Eva goes on a rampage. En route to the testing facility, Unit-03 is taken over by Bardiel. Toji is eventually selected to be the Fourth Children, and agrees on the condition that his sister be moved to NERV's medical facilities. Subsequently, her feelings begin to come to the forefront and Toji seems to return her affection. Later in the series, she begins bringing especially big homemade lunches to school for Toji, since he loves to eat ("Toji the Stomach", as Kensuke refers to him). Unbeknownst to Toji for much of the series, his normally by-the-book class rep Hikari Horaki actually has a crush on him, which she tries to repress and disguise by bossing him around. However, after witnessing firsthand the suffering Shinji experiences piloting Unit-01 in the battle against Shamshel, Toji comes to respect Shinji and the two become friends. Toji's younger sister, was injured in the battle between Sachiel and Unit-01, and after learning that Shinji Ikari was Unit-01's pilot, he beats Shinji up as payback. Toji is best friends with Kensuke Aida, and is in constant conflict with Asuka Langley Soryu. Toji is a tough boy, the stereotypical "jock," as evidenced by the fact that he is the only student in Shinji's class that refuses to wear the school uniform (although he does actually wear it once, in the ninth episode).
