squall1986 wrote:Also, Rei's soul is not transfered from one body to the next. They have their individual "souls." This can be seen in the Episode named Rei III (or something like that) when she says that she knows she is experiencing things for the first time, yet they seem familiar to her. Only Rei's memories are transfered from one shell to another. Each copy has its own slightly varied personality and soul. And I know I either read that somewhere or it was in the series, or the director's cut or something.
(Sorry, it's been about 7 months since I've seen the series)

Besides, when you say that they copy her soul from one shell to another, you're condtradicting when they said that a soul could not be digitized or copied.
I don't know, I really don't believe that there is a physical body in those plugs, nor do I believe that Rei's soul transfers bodies. Besides who ever said that she had a soul? I mean if they're all clones, how could they have made a soul? You know?

One belief out there is that Rei's soul is actually the soul of Lilith, the 2nd Angel, which is the one hanging on the cross in Terminal Dogma.
It is known that Rei is a clone of Yui Ikari. However we also know that her merging with Lillith helped contribute to Third Impact. Why? Was Rei an angel? Doubt it if she was made with Yui's genes (we don't know if Kaworu was a clone of someone).
And it had to be Rei....Gendo wanted to merge with Lilith himself but he had to merge with Rei first. Why? Because this was the task Rei was ultimately made to do. Some people say that this is because Rei's soul is actually that of Lilith's and once Lilith's soul is reunited with her body.....
Now yes. A soul can't be copied...but it seems that it could be transferred.
