Here's another big mystery in the Eva series. Who shot Ryohji Kaji? Some people say it was Misato, others say it was Seele agents. The manga by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto strongly suggests that Gendo killed him. I also think that Gendo killed Kaji. Who do you guys think shot him?

I think that it was just some SEELE or NERV grunt. Anno has already confirmed that Misato did not shoot Kaji, and that if he could, he would remove that scene of her entering her apartment after he was shot. I believe I read that in one of the essays on Eva Monkey.

I remember the debate about this on the AU boards and the cumulative evidence seemed to point to NERV doing the deed, but the whole thing being masterminded by SEELE. I can't remember the specific details, so correect me if i'm wrong.

I'm thinking Kaji was shot by NERV agents under orders from Gendo, who, in turn, was following orders from SEELE (for once). This topic is probably one of those that will never be fully answered. Like Amanda Winn Lee said (D&R commentary), it's a "Give them something to talk about in the parking lot" moment.

Since I haven't read the Manga, I don't know about the suggestions of Gendo killing Kaji. I've always thought it was just a SEELE agent, following through on siliencing Kaji for knowing to much. I'd like to know, what is the basis for Gendo killling Kaji?

I follow the idea SEELE arranged it. I sincerely doubt it was Misato, but Gendo has that possibility to him. Been awhile since I watched that ep, but I seem to recall Kaji saying something along the lines of "you're a little late" just before the shot. Gendo's wound a little too tight to be late for something...

Does...it matter? I mean...he is dead.......*long pause*
OK then...Maybe it was Gendo...because he got shot because he said somthing about him being late...and if Gendo's never late....so that would hurt his ego...so he shot him................... *Another long pause*
SEELE grunt seems highly possible.

Then why'd misato get a gun? It was hers. All NERV personnel are trained in the use of firearms, and, being of high rank, Misato naturally carried her own.

then why'd the guy hand it to her? When a police officer is under investigation they take their firearm. When the investigation is finished and the officer is cleared, the gun is returned. Same concept.

i really have no clue as to who killed kaji... going from what we see in the manga the shooter used a revolver, and was wearing gloves (most likely white)...
...but then gendo has what would appear to be a 9mm beretta semi automatic...which apparently is powerful enough to send an adult female flying...
when i first saw that scene in the animation i thought that it was misato... but not really sure when i saw the scene with the call
...
and im not helping

I think it is Gendo, or someone that Gendo sent that killed Kaji.
