It's mostly the latter, coupled with the fact that it doesn't make much sense to retouch a scene to make the rust in the bathtub more evident (and bathtubs don't rust, anyway). The whole naked-in-the-tub bit, with clothes folded neatly alongside, suggests a suicide attempt as we...

No, she failed because she got hung up on a boy who was too stupid to notice she was into him, which sent her confidence into a tailspin. Hey now, that's not fair. To say that Shinji not noticing her advances due to a lack of intellect is ill-informed at best. Shinji's problems lie deeper t...

Hmm, you correctly point out that an all-maternal Kyoko would be more rather than less likely to go berserk in order to protect Asuka. "Partial soul" doesn't slice as an explanation for why not -- just look at Eva-00. Well, look at Eva 00's berserk incidents? If I recall correctly...

Mmmm. That's only part of it, IMO. Part of it's also the sort of thing we see in the sync tests and the like; we often hear Shinji talk about how Eva reminds him of his mother (or of Ayanami in Unit 00). Do we ever hear anything similar about Unit 02? I can't recall it if so. Bu...

I'm not certain that the partial-soul interpretation is necessary for your purposes here. Piloting an Eva involves connecting and becoming one with your mother -- opening up, entrusting yourself completely. Since Asuka's relationship with her (physical) mom ended on a rather traumat...

There are implications that Kyoko is having her own arc behind the scenes, indicated with cues as subtle as Eva-02's death paralleling Dr. Katsuragi's. ( Old shit .) Possibly I'm reading too much into things, but I think they're subtly suggesting that Kyoko is redeeming hers...

Addendum: That high-pitched voice (now presumably Kyoko's) interrupts another line being spoken, by "good" Kyoko. That setup only makes sense if those are indeed two halves of Kyoko arguing with each other, because a flashback isn't going to interrupt a live line. In any o...

I always think there is something special in Yui. Eva-01 is always taken to be something special, even by Seele. I think Eva-01/Yui being able to do a lot more than expected has to do with the special ability of Eva-01/Yui. What happened with Eva-02 is more like what is expected from an Eva, until ...

The "layers of added complexity and numerous leaps of logic" seem to exist only in your mind. How exactly is it a leap of logic to assume that because we can hear Crazy Kyoko she must be there? Now, a theory that says that some of Kyoko's lines are real while others are imaginary is a...

There are a few things that have crossed my mind over the last day, through reading this and the older thread, that I'd like to put out for examination. As addressed by esselfortium, the CE was what caused Kyoko to go insane. Perhaps we can't truly call her state "insane", though. ...

Bagheera: Thank you. You've put what I've thought into words and reasoning that I could not have. I bow to you sir.

Some, but not much. As with many parts of the wiki, the line you mention is sheer speculation. We actually don't have any proof that the fragments of Kyoko's soul were ever reunited. As a counter-theory, consider this: her soul was never reconstituted. Unit-02 was made to operate using a pa...

So I was reading the T&A on Soul Divisibility (http://wiki.evageeks.org/Theory_and_Analysis:Soul_Divisibility) and I see that it asserts that Kyoko's soul was salvaged after her death and reunited with the portion in Eva 02. It's reasoning for this is since her voice begging Asuk...
