[quote="EmilLang1000"]It's hard to say.
Either Shinji or his father, Gendo
Shinji has a lot of emotional scarring from both his mother dying because of his father, and his father's abandonment of him shortly thereafter.
On top of that, there's the whole deal of not only his father coming back years later, telling him that he has to pilot this giant robot-like craft and fight these enormous monsters, or else he's completely worthless (notice the total lack of love and "how have you been these past 10 years?" deal), but also the fact that so much was hidden from him and the others, including the part that his father really didn't care much about his life, and only wanted to turn him into the Second Christ for his own gains.
Then you have Gendo, whom for all the messed-up-ness that Shinji has, this guy is about ten times as sick.
Gendo first obsesses over gaining more and more power, manipulating SEELE in his own way; then, after his wife's death, he abandons his own child to pursue a means by which he might bring her back - even if that means turning his own son into the Son of God himself, thus sacrificing his life, in order to do so. The thought never crosses his mind that his wife, if resurrected, would hate him for knowingly sending their son to his death.
Even Vader wouldn't sacrifice Luke once he knew that Luke was his son, but that'd never stop Gendo. The man has some serious psychosis to work out.[/quote]
I don't think shinji is at all messed up because he dosn't know what it is like to be loved anymore. and he's a cutie
