Did Asuka die when the apostles attacked?

He didn't die, but was saved by Shinji.

In the last battle, 10 Apostle's A.T. force field was very strong, even though the No.2 machine became a beast, it still lost. After that, No.2 (piloted by Asuka) and No.0 failed to attack the Apostle's core with N2 air-induced missiles at zero distance. As a result, Machine 2 was destroyed by the Apostles, and Machine 0 and Asuka's Apostle 10 became human.

After witnessing the horrors caused by the apostles and the predation of the zero machine, Shinji decided to attack again with the horn on.

Rely on this force to completely suppress the 10 Apostle and rescue Asuka from the Apostle.
