>>4360148Also the fact that the EVA Unit 00 sacrificially turned into a giant Rei when "The Tower" Angel attacked. Shows that the "Soul" in the EVA Unit 00 was Rei Herself. In other words, EVA Unit 00 was Rei. As EVA Unit 01 was Yui. In a sense so to say.
Just plays into to the part when Rei said "I will protect you" to Shinji. It was in a direct sense. She wasn't just the pilot, She was the EVA itself. And so on about "the inside of EVA Unit 00 smelling like Rei".
I would like to know more about Rei and Yui. Maybe "Rei" is an Avatar for Yui's will to be enacted upon the World and for "The Grand Plan" for Humanity. Maybe Rei is an Avatar for Lilith. She did say "I am Home" when returned to the crucified Lilith in EoE. I guess Rei is both Yui and Lilith. Two in One but with a separate personality. Rei's personality.
