Evangelion went really hard in trying to say something like this with child soldier and psychological trauma characteristics but all the hogs got out of it is WOW HOT UNDERAGE CLONE WAIFU
anno was copying tomino's notes so hard, and he didn't even have anything as good as that one soldier blowing himself up because he can't live with the knowledge that there are 12 year olds on the frontlines of the war

NGE is Anno looking at Victory Gundam like "Wow! Cool
robotmisogyny!"Yoshiyuki Tomino: A lot of people may not know this, but Anno actually stole the idea of Neon Genesis Evangelion from me. However because he was the only person who liked Victory Gundam, I forgave him.
That's an amazing burn.
Sadly it's not a real quote.
Here's an interview where Tomino and Anno talk about Turn A Gundam and bitch about merchandising and marketability lol
