Fun fact: in Japanese, メアリー ("Mearii") is a more typical translation of "Mary", but biblical Mary, as in the Magdalene, is マリア ("Maria"). So he's not calling her Maria of Iscariot, he's calling her Mary Iscariot. Man's got some Rock Lee wrist weights on, cuz those are some heavy hands of symbolism.
Mari was a fellow student or colleague with Gendo - her dialogue in Japanese refers to her being older/superior to him quite bluntly. Also interesting take on Fuyutski's nickname to her, but he''s 100% calling her Mari, and mentions he hasn't called her "Maria" in a long time (as she musn't be fully Japanese perhaps, judging by her appearance). The whole Iscariot deal is because she used to originally be with them/Nerv but is now true to Willie, betraying her past bonds.
Asuka and Rei are different clones for various reasons, but their personalities are quite different due to their "person" of origin, or how they were raised - not due to the actually cloning process (outside of Rei's origin).
As for GNCGR, she must exist from the new "Black" Lillith that Nerv created being combined with Rei 2 who has been chilling in 01 the whole time. Or whichever eva she was left in -- I'm a little hazy on this. Otherwise I don't see why it would be Rei in any form. I just don't follow yet how they exactly made Black Lillith (maybe with the head of the og Lillith?)
Also to note, there is no GNK either.
**edit** Black Lillith has something crucial to do with Misato's dad. Couldn't tell much more though.
The only thing that's severed is her head, which she kind "holds" levitating.
Please do not double post unless it's either necessary or a significant amount of time has passed from your previous post. Thank you.
