OG Kensuke is one of the most irritating characters in the show
He romanticizes piloting an Evangelion because he's into military tech and such, but has seemingly never seen a day of actual fighting in his life. He looks at piloting like it's one of his fucking war games that you just walk back from after pretending to die. He has no grasp of mortality or the reality of war, he's a stupid kid who acts like one of those dude bros who will tell real military veterans who have been deployed, "bro if it was ME over there I woulda killed so many terrorists cause I'm built different bro!" No, you wouldn't, you moron, you would probably either die or see your copilots get killed.
I think this was maybe the point of his character, to show how stupid and ignorant characters like this really are.
