>>2177829>She is MIA(and will be back), but she is still the one with the most screentime and development in Rebuild aside from Shinji. She isn't anywhere near Yui, who only appears in a 5 second flashback.Most of the development went no where. Yes I suppose she will be back but the damage is already done and it looks like she's going to be a damsel in distress waiting to be rescued again.
>>2177833>14 years of "experience"It's still 14 of development unlike Rei that spend the 14 years stuck in a core doing nothing.
I don't want to rain on your parade but I wonder where your optimism comes from. I don't see anything good for Rei in the Rebuild any more.
