>>2830773>Because the end of Rebuild 2 and the complete Rebuild 3 was all about logic.End of the 2nd makes sense, 3rd doesn't. Besides, that's my point - your PoV doesn't make sense and should therefore be dismissed.
>So you believe it is possible Shinji dropping the music player and a drawing of it near Rei's feet might have been an accident?Incredibly unlikely, and I don't see your point here.
>The echoThere isn't any echo.
>I doubt they have a way only Shinji hears something inWe have it today. We can microwave people's heads from afar and use their watery heads as a loudspeaker if we want to.
Again, like mentioned in 1&2, these points aren't worth debating and they are to be considered disproved. There's nothing concrete here, and concrete is what matters.
>I almost wish this was a real life debate because if there is an audience of 1000 people who knew nothing about Evangelion The audience would agree with me because I've laid before them the facts and you've given them nothing. Especially since they won't go ahead and fanwank either.
Picking up a music player or being close to one does not define a character. Kaworu picks up the SDAT as well, as does Shinji and others. It's simply an item. A character is an entirely different thing. The act of picking up a SDAT, or not picking it up, does not define whether or not Rei Q is Rei.
Having a mental link with another person doesn't mean you're Rei either. It simply means you have a mental link or that you picked up a music player. In the same way, none of your plot points actually matter. You can't ignore that Rei is explained to still be inside EVA01, which is in itself proof that Rei is not Rei Q. It means nothing more than Rei Q looking exactly like Rei - you might as well argue that Yui is Rei.
The answer is damned simple. Only Rei is Rei. Not a clone, not some soulless imitation, only Rei with Rei's soul. On a broader level, as Rei Q is made to mock Rei, she will never be Rei.
