Just throwing something out that no one ever brings up. Zeruel eats Unit-00 down the knees in 2.22, including the core. It immediately transforms into a psuedo-GNR type thing. When Shinji is pulling Rei out of Zeruel's core, he physically pulls back Rei, along with the SDAT player she brought with her. That is Rei 02. But what about the part of Lilith's soul that was in Unit-00 itself? The entire core got devoured. Is the Rei that Shinji pulls out a unified Rei, combining both Rei 01 and Rei 02?
