>>4384423>Well, rather horrifying, that. Never considered it. I will have to review those scenes.Nothing horrifying about it. The same was done with Yui's remains. The dead Rei's remains had the "memories". That made the other Rei's relative to Rei l and Rei ll. That's why they had that "conversation" like the other anon said. Because all dead Reis resided in one body. The clones.
>We have to wonder why that was done.Shinji knew nothing about Rei's cloning. They needed to keep him in the dark. Remember how Shinji was introduced to the Rei clones? By people that betrayed NERV. People that were out of line. And the only person that did try to overthrow Gendo directly was Ritsuko. And paid the price. As Gendo started the Third Impact for personal reasons, so did Ritsuko try to stop it for personal reasons.
