>>3306034>Your anecdotal reference does not apply in NGEhow so? there still people right?
>Yes, but at what moment does Rei behave like a mother to Shinji?it doesn't matter how Rei actually acts its about how shinji perceives it, and we can NEVER truly know that
>What you wrote "Shinji needed a sort of motherly figure" according to you is Rei does not make sense, so I askwell you obviously skipped through the whole thing then retard
>It could be but it was not and it is not, Shinji was the only one who helped Reino shit that doesn't prove anything on your end. let me break this down for you. I know that shinji was the one that broke Rei of her isolation. you've told me that twice now. i'm saying that it didn't actually need to be shinji, it COULD of have been ANYONE, like misato, kaji, toji, OR even hikari but it just so happened to be shinji because that was how the show was written. so you don't need to say "yeah but shinji did it" because I already know that.
