>>2761604>In Rei's case, what wasn't canon has now become canon: Rei as a Yui-clone with no intelligence, will or whatever else. It is an objectively degrading representation of Rei.Rebuild 1: Essentially the TV series Rei
Rebuild 2: Essentially the poka poka waifu Rei
Rebuild 3 First Half Only: Essentially the emotionless clone
Rebuild 3 Second Half: Rei questions her existence, similar to Rei III who has emotions and feelings that do not match her memories
Rebuild 4: Does Shinji save Rei's soul or does the world go Tang?
The important thing here is you can ignore the second half of Rebuild 3 in your personal fantasy world but in the real world the second half of Rebuild 3 exists and does not match what you wrote in the quoted text above.
