>>2881346He's right idiot. Memories != soul. Whatever you find in the brain, will be gone along with the body. The soul retains the impressions and knowledge, but like Ritsuko explains, the SOUL CANNOT BE DIGITIZED. Only the brain-patterns can, which do in fact constitute memories.
The soul has capability of memory but it is not the memories copied by the dummy plug.
>You realize that NERV has absolutely no way to securely transfer any memories of any sort, right? Hence Rei II does not realize she has been murdered, Rei III does not realize she kamikaze'd, etc.? This is fucking fanwank. Rei II and III are very well aware that they've been killed. Why else would Rei know she's replaceable if not for knowing she's been replaced once already? How would Rei III know she's "the third" if she didn't know?
Just ask yourself this moron: If they can not transfer memories, then how the fuck can Rei speak? How can she walk, talk and act like herself if they couldn't copy memories? If they couldn't, Rei would be JUST like a newborn, being unable to walk, talk or do anything at all. Yes, even WALKING requires that you train your body to do it. You're filled with nerves which store the data you get from adapting yourself to the act of walking over the course of your life. This is why people with broken nerves need to retrain themselves.
Yet Rei knows who Gendo is, who Shinji is, and she knows that she's the third. Rei may not remember dying, but this is because THOSE MEMORIES WERE NEVER BACKED UP MORON. It's like frying your harddrive before you had a chance to back it up. Everything NOT backed up since last time is lost.
Learn 2 Eva idiot.
