Shinji's Tangification (as the process is known in some circles) occurred 
right before the sand-pyramid scene. Yui said, "This Rei is your heart, your 
very hopes and dreams." Rei said, "What do you wish for?" An image of a 
female figure squeezing her breasts together is superimposed over Shinji.

doesn't take much guesswork to figure out who this is supposed to be; but it 
is interesting to note how the face is cropped off and the breasts 
emphasized.

Gendo's situation is distinctly different from the others, so it can't be 
directly compared and a conclusion so easily drawn.

There is a nice little thread (with lots of pictures!) about Gendo's fate 
here:

"You want to show this to Pen-Pen, don't you?"
"NO, YOU'RE WRONG!"
