>>2620100>she radiates through that an immense inner strength, far in excess of perhaps any other character on the showCompletely agree though you can drop the 'perhaps':
When she first shows up she's injured and can't even move without feeling intense pain yet she still would have fought in those conditions.
Despite the fact that she too had zero piloting experience seeing as she got those injuries when she first attempted to sync with an eva.
Despite knowing what kind of pain she would endure if she failed by throwing injuries on top of injuries.
She would have done it because she felt it was her duty.
The first few episodes of eva are interesting in how they show Shinji dealing with becoming a pilot, but Rei is simultaneously on that exact same boat yet she she handles it vastly different.
