>>3870247Sorry for not being more clear. Yes, Rei Q can be said as just the shell but it is still part of Rei. To imagine walnuts as only the nut and never having a shell is silly. The LCL oceans perhaps could be shell-less analogy.
I must in addition stress that I do not want to make this seem like a body/soul to shell/nut analogy.
Perhaps something better would be like a cookie recipe where you need eggs, flour, water, sugar, butter, chocolate and Rei Q is flour.
>>3870273>QuarterSoul is satisfiedFor the record I've always said Misato is my favorite character. I have mixed feelings on the spoilers related to her. My objections here were to people saying Anno was writing fanfiction and that Rei Q was unrelated to any other Rei like for example Miles Morales compared to Peter Parker in the Spider-man multiverse.
