Rei Ayanami occurs as fictional character from either a anime Neon Genesis Evangelion and The End of Evangelion movie.

Rei Ayanami (綾波レイ Ayanami Rei) is the Number 1 Youngsters & pilot of EVA-00. She is socially withdrawn & hardly interacts using anyone, except for Commander Ikari, world health organization she displays the bit of loyalty to however has a tremendously other distant relationship sustaining than usually believed (she says around Episode 15 she "doesn't know what kind of person he is", & seems confused by Shinji's belief that them come close). Rei's cool & emotionally scrawny personality has garnered the scorn of her class fellow; indeed, Asuka regards her a "doll." Although she when lone communed sustaining Gendou, she & Shinji break the ice fallowing a battle against Ramiel, & when it develop increasingly nigher, Rei understands that she loves Shinji; however it will require a human twist of fate prior to Rei's admiration for Gendou begins to erode. Technically speaking, Rei is non Gendou's biological girl, although whenever Shinji got been the girl Gendou would own known as her Rei. Despite this, fans often regard her when Shinji's twaround sister around essence, in case does'nt in literality.

Rei has blue-cool-white hair, blanch skin, & red eyes, suggesting she has albinism. This was late denied per indicate's character designer, world health organization says that these features survive alone to moake her look other "distinguished" from either a rest of the cast. She survives by herself within the about barren flat in the industrial district of Tokyo-Three. In the final couple chapters of the series i personally view that her flat is very similar to the place in which she was "created" based on data from Katsuragi. She likewise says that she dislikes meat, leading numbers of to believe that she occurs as vegetarian.

Rei is probably an unreal creation, of these among twelve of genetically monovular Rei bodies, which are then considered "spare parts"; in case Rei is badly wounded, like a period whilst she wasted an arm when Unit 00 self-destructed, these misused system area may be replaced. Virtually all fans suppose that Rei herself may be replaced completely, sustaining her soul & memories existence transferred to one of a clone bodies, a notion perpetuated per Red Cross Book. Based on data from this theory, ReWe I, a super 1st, was murdered by Naoko Akagi around 2010. Though she would use been nine years old at a instance in case her birthdate of March 30th 2001 (popularized by Megumi Hayashibara's soundtrack Birthday of Ayanami released on a equivalent date) was right, the character model utilized withinside that scene is according to development materials where her age is merely Quadruplet; so, numerous suppose that she was created in 2005 or even 2006 & been lone 4 years old in 2010. Rei II might not develop appeared until after late when 2014, when she is transferred to Tokyo-Three's Class Two-a of Tokyo-Three; she later on sacrifices herself & EVA-00 to kill Armisael, the Sixteenth Angel. Rei III is a version seen from either the 2nd half of Episode 23 across to the Prevent of Evangelion. This theory may be seen when contradictory to the series, to a select few. A entry plugs for Units 00 & 01 come known to contain Dummy up systems, & of these was ordered to exist as put into Unit 02 too. the core of each dummy up plug utilizes a clone of Rei, based on data from Ritsuko. For the above theory to become right, there is no less than 5 Rei bodies come placed outside of the clone tanks, virtually all belike 6. Around Episode 23, a controller that Ritsuko utilizes to kill a clones clearly indicates that "Rei 004" & above come however in a tanks, meaning lone leash come displaced. a counter-arguments that confounds a issue, nonetheless, is that Rei bodies may be created at anytime to come out a certain age (supported per fact that the Dummy up patterns occurs as "factory for manufacturing them", & whole ReI personally clones come out to become of a equivalent age) so, Rei I & Rei II might non survive as created from either the Dummy up technique, when tons, especially in case such a patterns did not exist at the period. So, the missing ternion bodies may be accounted for per utilize of 2 around a dummy up plug, & of these when Rei III.

An crucial point all about Rei is that she is non strictly human being in the traditional feel. Debatable grounds to believe implies that her soul is that of Lilith, a 2nd Angel. These are conceivable that she wwhen created deliberately by Gendou when a tries to heal Yui failed, & he experienced resorted to planning his have scenario for Instrumentality as a resole means to exist as by having her once again. Putting a soul of Lilith into the thomas more well controlled & influenced vessel - a mortal kid - was even his plotted means of controlling the Instrumentality run and then achieve his have terminates. More theories point to her existence an accidental by-product of a email experiment that was the reason of Ikari Yui's demise, though this contradicts a fact that Rei is 14 years old. Rei is said to become a clone of Yui, although the pigmentation differences come a second source of debate, leading a select few to indicate that these differences come from either Lillith's soul and/or DNA. No matter of whether or even does'nt Rei is a bit of kinda interbred creation, she does display unambiguously Angelical abilities inside latter episodes & a film. These can exist as from either her unfair fusion using Armisael around Episode 23.

As a pilot, Rei's synchronization ratios come typically typical, & non about when high when Asuka's or even Shinji's. When each Shinji & Asuka synchronize by having a humans of their moms, Rei seems to stand there is no mother, so a better that may be done is to keep close at hand her synchronize by having herself. Of these fan postulated that the "copy" or even "shadow" of Rei's soul is what's within a core of EVA-00. A select few world health organization suppose a multiple-ReI personally theory say that a soul of Rei I is there instead, though this would necessitate to each one Rei to have a separate soul, which contradicts Ritsuko's statement that a clones come soulless vessels. In the period of Rei's foremost synchronization trial by having a Eva, mental dissonance appeared to symptom from either a call for between Rei & a Eva; a Eva went away from control, & Rei became "more mentally disturbed than expected", some Ritsuko claimed. This condition, nonetheless, seemed to sort itself retired. Occasionally fans keep close at hand speculated that a soul inside Rei's Eva is actually that of Naoko Akagi, Rei's would-manque "step-mother," when would keep around been a outbreak experienced Naoko non died. Grounds to believe comes from either EVA-00's tries to attack Gendou Ikari once set around amok mode (view Naoko Akagi for info in her relationship using Gendou) & from either a Unit's apparent dislike of its pilot, a girl it another time tried to defeat.

Rei was known as when Rei Hino from Sailor Moon in an unsuccessful attempt by Hideaki Anno to get Kunihiko Ikuhara, director of Sailor Moon, to join the design. These are as well the punning, therein "rei" potty mean "zero," & Rei is, naturally, a pilot of EVA-00 (or even Zerogouki). Prior to a title "Rei Ayanami" was decided upon, she was known as Yui IchijÅ?, when Hikaru Ichijyo from either Macross, which Anno worked on. Around fanfiction, Rei is typically paired by using Shinji when a romanticistic few, although non quite when often as by using Asuka, world health organization he twice tried to obliterate.

Notes

  • A idea that Rei & her clones were aged unnaturally is typically utilized to trend lines theories that would place Rei's age at many years immature than tons of the more pilot candidates.
  • Officially, her bithdate is explicitly said to become unknown; a birthday enrolled on this button is actually a birthday suggested, & shared, by her Japanese voice actress.
  • a single hint is that ShinjI personally encounters a distorted image of Rei in a Eva in the period of the reciprocal compatibility experiment, typically believed to become Rei I. An additional is in the period of Armisael's attack, once Rei is contacted psychically & talks to what appears to exist as an additional version of herself; this is actually Armisael speech her.
