Ibuki, Maya

伊吹マヤ

Maya Ibuki serves as a First Lieutenant at NERV and works as a computer technician, primarily alongside Ritsuko Akagi. During battles with the Angels, her primary duty is to continuously monitor the synchronization ratios of the Eva pilots and transmit various emergency commands to the Evangelions, as directed by Misato or Gendo. Many fans interpret her scene in the movie The End of Evangelion as a revelation that she is secretly in love with Ritsuko. During Maya's Instrumentality, Lilith (appearing as Ritsuko) types "I need you" into Maya's laptop and embraces her. Maya reverts to LCL following an ecstatic gasp of "Senpai!" However, this scene is the sole allusion to her possible feelings toward Ritsuko, and its intent remains unclear. Despite her profession, Maya despises violence in any form and is frequently depicted becoming nauseous and averting her gaze during Angel battles. Notably, in The End of Evangelion, Maya is the only NERV officer shown refusing to fight back against the JSSDF invaders. She rejects the gun Shigeru offers her for self-defense, stating "I can't shoot this thing," not due to a lack of skill, but because she has never fired it at a human being. For much of the second half of End of Evangelion, Maya is seen with her face buried in a pink pillow under her desk.
She is sometimes described as representing the audience's perspective throughout the series, displaying revulsion when viewers would likely feel the same, and delight in other, more lighthearted scenes.
