>>3228058>>3228059It's obviously nonsense. Is that your opinion? If so you've never watched the original series at all. It's a pathetic attempt to attack Rei and to make Shinji x Asuka shipping look better than it is.
Rei, not Asuka, objectively helped Shinji mature. That's why it's Rei lecturing Shinji in the end, not Asuka. It's why it's Rei that brings Shinji out of instrumentality by talking some sense into him, and it's why Rei is the one that destroys Gendo and becomes Godlike. Not Asuka.
Asuka was the very doll she accused others of being and could never have a good relationship with anyone canonically. Only in fantasy, AKA shipping.
Rei is motherly, but how exactly is that a bad trait? It's not just being "motherly", it's being responsible, caring, knowledgeable and adaptable, all great traits to have.
Stop thinking of the characters as "love interests", but characters primarily. Impossible for a Kaworu fan maybe since Kaworu has no character, but you can at least try. As characters, Rei would be the better match her being half-Yui or not.
That's also another interesting topic, originally Rei wasn't a clone of Yui either, that's some Rebuild bullshit rewrite. Rei was originally based on Yui, but she was also equal parts if not more Angel. Rebuilds killed that part of Rei simply to pander to Asukafags.
and there's a Rei discord channel now, we could discuss that there instead of spamming this thread with walls of text.
