I never bothered to look up where it's from until now.
It's Shinji Ikari, a character in Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Director Hideaki Anno described the hero, Shinji Ikari, as a boy who "shrinks from human contact", and has "convinced himself that he is a completely unnecessary person, so much so that he cannot even commit suicide." He describes Shinji and Misato Katsuragi as "extremely afraid of being hurt" and "unsuitable — lacking the positive attitude — for what people call heroes of an adventure." When compared to the stereotypical hero, Shinji is characterized more by lack of energy and emotion than by heroism or bravery.
Shinji has an Oedipus complex.
I wonder how much of this describes nimda too.
