Question

rei ayanami is the BEST character ever~!
so wat happens to her?? like all ive got is volume 11 of evangelion manga but yea, wat happens and like this is a wierd question but is she human?? if not then wat?? ^^

Answer 1

Rei is sort of part Angel herself. (notice she is the only character with strange colored hair and eyes (Ritsouko doesn't count because she bleaches it) and also nobody seems to notice.

I take that to mean that Rei actually looks normal and only behave strangely. Because she was cloned, she grew up in a tank and NERV only taught her the very minimal social skills she needed to pass.

In later episode (hope this isn't too much of a spoiler, you can skip this part if you want) there's an Angel disgused as a human, or he has a human body like she does. The first time they ever meet, passing by in the halways at NERv, he grabs her arm and seems a little surprised or diappointed. I think it was because he was expecting that the contact between them to start the Third Impact, and it didn't.

Spoilers done.

Rei attracts a lot of fans. She is not supposed to be like Spock (without emotions) she just is not socialized enough to have developed many emotions. Her deepening relationship with Shinji (who is a very shy boy, due to having been rejected all his life) is so slow, so gentle, so satisfyingly realistic, so beautiful and so sad when she dies (as another answerer already said, which shouldn't have been spoiled!)

The impression I get at the end of the manga series is that Shinji was doomed to heartbreak. Rei was not the one that was meant for him.

There is a computer game (spoken of on wiki, which I have not been able to find anywhere) called the Ayanami Raising Project, where the player gets to take Rei in as Misato took Shinji in. The player is supposed to take care of her for a year. It would be so nice to see her grow and develop. Depending on how the player proceeds, there is even the possibility that Rei will develop a crush on him! I would love to see her smile.

Go to onemanga.com, they have all of NGE on line.

Answer 2

Rei is actually physically created (manmade) from the remains of Ikari Yui's body. She is indeed a metaphor for Shinji's mom, as well as the closest thing genetically to his mom. Of course, even mentioning the fact that she testpilots and backup pilots Eva 01, the same Eva that Yui got absorbed into furthers the connection. What would be the consequences of being in frequent contact with an absorbed human's consciousness? Perhaps Rei might have taken some of the personality over prolonged exposure. ____ Unfortunately, I am not a "hardcore fan". I hated everything after episode 23 and Kaoru. End of Eva was especially disturbing. Two words: comatose rape.

Answer 3

Rei is a clone of Shinji's dead mother - which explains Gendo's affection for her.

The Rei we see in the beginning of Evangelion in the 'second rei' clone. The first Rei clone was a little child which Ritsuko's mother choked to death in a burst of rage and jealousy. The 'third' Rei comes back with her memories lost after she pulls the self destruct plug on her Eva during a fight with an angel that began to destroy Shinji's mind. This was also the first time we saw her cry. Rei herself, physically was created in the same purpose of the 'dummy-plug' that is inserted into the Evas. Her body is merley a shell which houses a soul. Towards the end of the (anime) Dr. Ritsuko Akagi destroys the thousands of artificial Rei bodies (souless ones) that are floating around ina huge tnk near terminal dogma. This happens infront of Shinji and Misato who finally un-cover the truth behind the human instrumentality project.

In the movies (which are just... whack lol) Rei basically like destroys the Earth... my memories a bit sketchy at this point. um, im pretty sure. ya'know that glove Gendo always wore? well he started wearing it originally for a burn from opening the dummy-plug after Rei's accident. But in the end he wore it because he had (adam) i think... on his gloved hand. He proceeds to find Rei and shove his hand through her chest. She reacts as (eve??), she basically obliterates everyone. and from there the movie gets loopy. i can't remember anymore.

Answer 4

Rei was cloned, and now she appears in many different anime series under different pseudonyms.
