>>2881350>What proves that they were focusing on Shinji and not Rei? How about the fact that the VERY SCENE where they get data, comes from Shinji syncing with EVA00? I'd post screenshots but this isn't /a/ and it's not from Rei, so at best I'll bother to make a webm for you. MAYBE.
That proves it fucking solidly without ANY question whatsoever. Either your memory sucks or you're being obtuse on purpose.
>He very clearly sees or at least "feels" Rei.He FEELS Rei. Impression. Feelings. Not things he sees with his eyes or imagines that he sees.
>It is absolutely without a doubt Rei in question. Which invalidates your argument either way. Except you'd be wrong - Shinji himself doubts that it's Rei. He says "chigau no ka?" in the scene, which negates that it's Rei. So it has an impression of being Rei, but Shinji himself. Look at your own quotations there.
This is perfectly consistent with an "impression" of Rei being there but not the actual Rei, AKA what the Dummy System is. A copy of Rei's personality/neural patterns WITHOUT the soul.
>You realize that aside from being Lilith she is just a normal human right? Hell, without her Lilith shell she's even worse than human because humans don't need to take pills to not fall apart and die. That's a big enough "aside" to drop your theory down the drain. Again, it's not just the frailty of Rei's body, but also the indisputable paranormal abilities she possesses. She is not simply human, she is more.
>Based on. The modern PS4 is based on the original PS1, go and try playing MGSV on a PS1. Flawed analogy. The PS4 is not based on the original PS1 in any way whatsoever, and in MAGI we have the exact same process. A human brain in an encasing being a copy of Naoko Akagi. The same thing the dummy plug is said to be, except for Rei.
