"The change is revealed by way of some official advertising, in which the cast is listed; fans looking over the names immediately (or possibly after obsessive scrutiny) spotted a mysterious 式波・アスカ・ラングレー / Shikinami Asuka Langley, presumably the same character as the previous 惣流・アスカ・ラングレー / Sohryu Asuka Langley." -- from hereGainax

I read on the NGE comm that a Shikinami is some reference to a military plane...? I HAVE NO IDEA, Sohryu was already a reference to a ocean tanker or something.

Maybe they forgot and had to make something up on the spot.

Does this mean we could have two Asukas that are technically the same person. Apart from all the other Asukas in the other universes.

Apparently she's also a military captain this time around YEEEAAAAAAAY.
