The Seele explains the Angels' intention as wiping out humanity by reunifying with Adam which was discovered later by Misato to be a lie in order to manipulate the UN and the governments. But the truth is: the Angels' targets have always been the EVA units, especially EVA 01. The Angels only retalia...

I know this might sound crazy, but was it possible, that the Angle's target was never Lilith but eva Units? Think about it. The Angels are forever sleeping until they detect a Eva Unit nearby. The day Shiji arrived at Tokyo was exactly the day Unit 01 was ready for pilot. Same day Sakiel Attacks. Sa...

I always thought it was anger. She remembered (with her feelings) how being dependent on Gendo led her to death. That's why she cries. She feels useless, used and out of love for Gendo. I agree with you that it was anger, but not that it was because of her death. Rei was never afraid of death. And ...

She was upset because she could tell that the glasses meant something to her, but she couldn't remember what. She had an emotional connection to the glasses for, apparently, no reason. Her soul "remembered" the glasses as important, but her actual memories did not. The glasses proved that...

I have a theory. In Episode 21', we know that the 2nd Impact happened immediately after some sort of human contact experiment. In Episode 24'. we know that the Adam's soul was inside Kaworu's body, and Kaworu's birthday was exactly the day the 2nd Impact happened. Kaworu was probably the very produc...

In NGE episode 23, when Rei III got back to her appartment, she took off the bandage, stood in front of the mirror for a while and then grasped Gendo's glasses with both her hands, was she trying to break the glasses? What was on her mind? Rei III must have realized something, or she wouldn't do suc...

Possibly a translation issue. I use a subtitle which translates it to: 'They are not so noble.' Here 'they' refers to the scientists, not God.

Actually what Rei says to Sinji in Ep06 is 'Sayonara' which means 'farewell', implying Rei is ready to die any time. That's why Shinji tells her not to say 'Sayonara' because it's too sad. By the way, do you watch NGE with headphones on? I highly recommend it. You'll be missing lots of background so...
