I have neglected talking about rei at all in this thread so far so I figured I should drop a line or two about her
ever since I've seen her in the opening I had a feeling the blue hair and red eyes weren't just a case of random unnatural anime character colors, evangelion does NOT feel like the kinda show to make those design choices for nothing
she appearing to shinji for a split second in the first episode before he's even ever seen her reinforces my feeling that something really big is going on with her but I have no idea where to even start guessing, and she being near-totally silent doesn't help in the slightest
the result of some kinda human experimentation seems like a likely basic guess here, especially considering she's the "first children" and her eva appears to be the earliest action-ready prototype.. maybe an attempt by NERV to "create" their own pilots before discovering some people are naturally capable of piloting an eva?
rei is easily one of the most intriguing characters together with shinji's dad

I've also been thinking about the evangelions' own abbreviation as "eva"s, I'm fairly confident that name is supposed to be interpreted in an adam&eve way (especially after adam is the name of an immature angel shinji's dad is holding onto)
I don't remember when adam is first shown hence the really broad spoiler range in the CW lmao

I was so damn right this is where the show gets serious again, best episode since the early ones
after kaji teasing at a lot of the picture being hidden from her, and ritsuko lying to her with a straight face, misato seems to have nearly reached a breaking point with the NERV leadership
unit 01 appears to go berserk again and this appears to alarm everyone more than last time from ep2 for some reason
ritsuko confirms evas are copies of angels
and of course shinji's inner dialogue that feels like it might change something in him permanently..?
ep16 was seriously absolute cinema

suzuhara is the 4th pilot????????? in hindsight it makes sense (in a non-in-universe way) cause he's the only person in shinji's school who has a standout design but still that was unexpected as hell
he seems to be the most neurotypical of the pilots so far but I'm sure the show has just never gone in depth about him
also something tells me he's either gonna die or smth bad is gonna happen fast cause I've NEVER seen him in random fanart or out of context memes over the years, unlike shinji, asuka and rei

that didn't just go sideways, that did ten whole barrel rolls FAST
gotta love how they based the dummy plug off rei in particular, it's not like she's literally the most unpredictable pilot out of everyone after all
anyway if angels can just take over evas like this now wtf are the next angels gonna be like
