She was ALWAYS popular in Japan though, in the same way Asuka was wildly popular in the Western fandom.
bigdeath: Some of the more crackpot theories on both sides of the Pacific peg her as a refugee from Daitenroku or Diebuster. The saner of us think she's a pawn for one of the three powers(SEELE, NERV, UNEF), but is aware she's a pawn and is just enjoying herself as much as she can.
