Evangelion

So who the fuck killed him?

Me.

misato, obviously

Some say misato. Others say gendo. I like to think it was Shinji defending his harem.

Ristuko.

...

It was Shinji. Shinji's too dense over the series to just immediately pick up an implication like Kaji was dead. Kaji even included that coded message on the answering machine about his secret garden and Shinji knowing where it is.

His pride.

You what? I could have sworn it showed Ritsuko killing him.

His harem of what? His right hand?

It could've been his left hand who knows!

Angry unwatered watermelon.

A random jobber at nerv he had lunch with once.

She references something about her cats later, but it's never shown, just implied enough.

SEELE operatives, Kaji was a double agent working for SEELE and because he saved a NERV agent he was seen as a traitor. Executed without due trial.

I thought it was PenPen.

Seele would have done it eventually anyway, saving Fuyutsuki just advanced the schedule, and he made it sound like he expected it to ingratiate him enough to Gendo for protection. Which would never have worked since he was a triple agent trying to uncover both Gendo's and Seele's plans on behalf of Japan, so Nerv are still just as likely to have got him.

He was a triple agent with several people tied to NERV warning him that he was going to get burned.

We will never know with certainty, but the show wants you to think it is SEELE. In episode 21 when he is killed, Fuyutsuki has been abducted and he is saved by Kaji. Fuyutsuki says this will result in his death, and Kaji says they already knew he was a traitor because they found out that he gave Gendo Adam, which goes against SEELE's scenario and is vital for Gendo's scenario.

This last part about Adam was taken off the on-air version and put back in later, so it seems they wanted confusion at first but then wanted to make it clear what the show was saying about Kaji's killer. The on-air version wants you to suspect someone at NERV, and the later version point more to SEELE.

Pen pen is a bird of peace

This probably changed in Rebuild world, considering that NERV and SEELE are friends, so no need to kill Kaji.

I'm surprised they didn't make Kaji a double agent for NERV and WILLE.

it was a suicide

The jew... eh I hean Seele

In that Kaji cooperated with Mari to destroy IPEA's Eva-05 and captive Angel, disrupt their Marduk report, and steal Nebuchadnezzar's Key. Gendo's still planning to betray Seele and Kaji's still giving him info about them.

Watermelons

Word of God is a random SEELE operative.

this

Me.

A more important question is: why did he rescue Fuyutsuki?

>This probably changed in Rebuild world
Don't talk about dumb shit.

It was confirmed like 20 years ago that it was NERV intelligence,

Nerv intellegence is seele. Remember there are 4 main factions. Seele, gendo, the japanese govt, and Nerv (Basically Misato). Then you have 3 sub factions. Shinji, Rei, and Ritsuko.

Either way Anno said it was some random suit that did the deed, It's not important.

Didn't he say that after the show ended in a vain attempt to make people think Misato couldn't have done it or in the very least not make her out to be a bad person?

That's the first I'd ever even heard of that.

Take the show on its own without anything being said or stated afterwards like how people love to source that PS2 game for all the retcons they did and act like "it was like that in the original btw" even though at the time, it wasn't.

Shinji.
