On the other hand, Spike Spencer voices Shinji in the ADV Film English dub of Neon Genesis Evangelion series and Rebuild movies, while the Netflix dub replaces Spencer with Casey Mongillo. Shinji is voiced by Megumi Ogata in the original Japanese dub. These struggles and Shinji’s attempts to either run away or overcome them are a core focus of Evangelion. Taking on such a dire task puts an excessive amount of pressure on 14-year-old Shinji both physically and mentally. Although Shinji does not realize it immediately, the act of piloting an Evangelion Unit is equivalent to becoming a protector of the entire human race. Although his father is absent for most of Shinji’s life, Gendo suddenly asks Shinji to travel to Tokyo-3 and pilot Evangelion Unit 01 to fight the Angels. Shinji was present for the experiment that resulted in his mother’s death/disappearance and his father abandoned him shortly afterward. He is the son of Gendo and Yui Ikari, the commander of NERV and an engineer that worked under Gendo respectively. Shinji Ikari is the 14-year-old pilot of Evangelion Unit 01 and the main protagonist of the Evangelion series as a whole.
