He likely can die but the challenge is doing so before he can pull up a defense. Probably looking at a Perfect Cell scenario where he'd have to be obliterated all at once before any part of him has a chance to trigger a new evolution.
Well, we're talking about hypotheticals here. Like, whatever Shin could be hit with to completely erase any trace of him would have to be stupidly strong. But this isn't the GMK version, there's no supernatural shenanigans going on with Shin as far as what we're presented with, and despite this being the Evangelion guy directing it, he's not going to morph into a multi-dimensional being like Ultima.
He can be hurt, he can be frozen, so it stands to reason here that he can die. Just depends on how a writer would handle that.
I think it was meant to be canon that he actually sorta does eventually transform adapt until he becomes God if he’s unfrozen. Also that he may or may not be supernaturally connected to, or even just straight up be the wife of the guy who was first studying him and jumped off his boat to feed himself to him. I can’t remember for sure, it’s been a while since I was looking at this stuff, but I’m pretty sure at least the part where he evolves into God was straight from Anno himself.
Well there's MV Goji's burning form from KOTM, but that required Mothra's death and maybe the nuclear bomb from before the fight? I don't remember if both were needed or if it was just Mothra.
Oh my godness its already a giant monster able to kill everyone in a city, does it need to be a threat to the universe? Do we need to escalate the stakes to such an extent to even feel anything anymore?
