Neon Genesis Evangelion Chapter 65 Discussion

That was hard to read. What a way to die.

Poor Shinji. Wasn't allowed to save Asuka, was too late to save Rei.

Kind of surprised that Rei thought of Gendo while she died and not Shinji...

That was heart-breaking...

Still have no idea what that giant lump growing out of the anime is. It's quite disturbing. If that was in the anime, I suppressed it. But wow, pure Rei. I guess the only way to stop the angel was to self destruct the Eva. It seems like it was a bigger explosion that should be possible, but oh well. RIP Rei. And pure Shinji having to watch.

Why Gendo though ?

----------------------------------------

                        This is quite the way for Rei to die. These last couple of chapters have been true gems.

Still don't get what's going on with Kaworu

Time for the Rei clones to show up?

Damn, that actually hit me kind of hard. I didn't feel too much for this scene in the anime. But, the addition of her protecting Shinji, along with the previous chapter put this over the top for me. Interesting that she saw/thought of Gendo before the explosion.
