>>2724898...I was only talking about the original series, and that's what they're claiming it for; I don't consider Rebuild worthy of consideration. Besides, Rebuild ruined Asuka too; it ruined everything it didn't keep exactly as it already was.
That said, I think you shouldn't consider Rei Q a complete misfortune, given that she rather clearly illustrates by contrast that Rei is not a doll.
>>2724895I imagine that Rei, traumatized by her death as Rei I, banished the more chaotic aspects of her personality to Unit-00. Thereby, Rei retains agency, the division being only a literalization of a psychological process.
