Rei's arm and Zeruel...

Did anyone notice that the part of EoE where Rei's hand falls off is more or less the same as what happened with Shogoki and Zeruel? The location of where Sho's left arm is shot matches the break in Rei's own left arm, and the bubbling effect when the arms regenerate is identical. The only difference is that Rei doesn't need any additional mass like Sho does (She already has the embryo of Adam inside her by this point, with its S2 engine).

Also, the way Zeruel cuts Zerogoki's head down the middle...when does that happen to Rei? End of Evangelion, the Rei-Lilith figure's head fractures down the middle. Zeruel's mask reappears in some of the flashing images. Is there something so important about Zeruel, or is it just a little foreshadowing using the only Angel other than humanity that is so merciless?

The whole part about the AT field not being able to hold Rei's body together seems ridiculous, and why should it fall apart the way it does? Why doesn't something inside Rei dissolve to LCL, causing her to puke goop instead? Why, specifically, is Rei's arm lost the way Shogoki's arm is lost, and then regenerated the same way?

The observation about EVA-01 and Rei 3 losing their arms and then regenerating them in bubbly manner comes up often. It's been suggested that the inherent linkage is "both EVA-01 and Rei are made from Lilith's body".

As such, Rei would not be vomitting up LCL. There was a recent thread that got into Rei's bodily constitution -- this one, maybe.

EVA-01 & Lilith also relevant.

Both Eva unit 1 and Rei derive from Lilith. One of many powers shared between the two.
