<< I'd like to think of the manga as more focused on Shinji, outside his role
 of Eva pilot. When he first met Touji, he more or less left himself open to
 abuse. He just didn't care.
 
 But by volume 9, he can't act in that situation, because he DOES cares what
 happens. If he didn't care, it wouldn't have mattered to him whether or not
 he or Touji died then and there. >>

He didn't know Touji was in there. Destroying the Angel didn't mean the
destruction of the pilot as well. Eva-02 and 00 were both trashed and their
pilots survived.
