I dread what Rei might do if the story ever reached its equivalent of Rebellion...
Sure, but then I'd have to kill you.

That's whyYou know what's sad? That Homura might be tempted to work with Gendo if that means Madoka would be safe forever.
"Oh yeah. You're welcome, Rei. I especially liked #7, #12, and #18. Man, #18!"
He's wondering the same thing. How much of Rei is the teenage girl, and how much is Lilith, the immortal, billions-year old Progenitor? How much of Kaworu is Tabris, or Adam? Kaworu doesn't want to be SEELE's puppet, or destroy the world. Tabris doesn't either... but can't stop feeling the Call every second of his existence. Adam... who knows? Hypostatic Union is a bitch.
Agreed. I hate the pair-the-spares approach. Reialistically (so to speak), I think the most likely outcome for Rei is never marrying, unable to realize deep emotional attachment (which, granted, isn't necessary for a satisfactory marriage), and becoming the beloved old maid aunt for Shinji and Asuka's kids--the one with all the great, and embarrassing, stories about their youth:So, hmm. Back on a more A&T vein, who else genuinely hopes that this doesn't end up as a tsuntsun slap-attempted-murder-barely-aborted-Third-Impact-kiss Rei/Kaworu situation? Because I like the idea much better that she just flat out doesn't like him and never will. Also it seems like a sort of, hmm... cliched "easy" way of averting an Israfel Special OT3?
Good idea. Instead of killing him outright, get him to suicide.Kaworu should be set up with Mari, who would probably be thrilled to have a Magical Boyfriend.
So he's a routine medical procedure away from being brought down to human. (And thus easier to kill .)You'd find that Tabris has a fully developed S2 Organ where his tonsils should be,...
It's likely that would kill him, instead. Nothing that some AT Field hax can't fix, however!So he's a routine medical procedure away from being brought down to human. (And thus easier to kill .)
Why tonsils, out of interest? Spitting up AT-fields seems a bit disgusting even for the Angels.

You say this as though A&T!Rei isn't already deeply in love with Shinji and Asuka.Reialistically (so to speak), I think the most likely outcome for Rei is never marrying, unable to realize deep emotional attachment...
Why am I thinking of Kaze no Stigma all of a sudden?Gendo: "Make a contract with me, Shinji, and get in the giant robot."
I notice how you didn't answer the question. Rephrase, if Clark Kent tried to donate blood, it wouldn't work because he can't turn off or modulate the level of his powers. Contrast with Soul Reapers of Bleach who have to intentionally "activate" their neigh invulnerability. Granted, they tend to donate plenty of blood anyway.He's wondering the same thing.

Took an entire semester on John Milton. Paradise Lost was about 3/4 of it. Ouch. That book was the size of a Stewart Calc book!Theology always gave me headaches. Christian theology, doubly so.
I meant that as a general concept for canon-ish Rei, not necessarily this story. I try to avoid making suggestions to other authors.You say this as though A&T!Rei isn't already deeply in love with Shinji and Asuka.
Very possible. However, they have opened up to Rei, unreservedly; it has nothing to do with sex.What would be likely is that Rei never marries because no one can ever measure up to Shinji or Asuka AND they stay a couple instead of opening up to Rei.

Lovely weather we've been having, don't you think?
Regardless of Kaworu, shipping, paired spares, or any other concerns, assuming they're all still corporeal and alive, what makes you think anything will stop Rei from being deeply and closely involved in Shinji and Asuka's lives until the day they're all gone? Whether Kaworu, Kensuke, Ken Watanabe, Kris Kristofferson, or Kristine are Rei's husband/wife/boytoy/roommate with benefits or not, she does and will continue to love them both, and maintain that link for as long as they all live.I hate the pair-the-spares approach.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply sex. I meant strictly as a romantic relationship, which Shinji and Asuka have discussed but have held out on including Rei. I think the literature supports that while they all love esch other deeply, there is still an extra level of intimacy (in which a physical relationship is a factor) that Rei is yet to be included in.Very possible.

To somewhat answer the question, Tabris is what Kaworu is. He is trying to find out if that is who he is, as well, and to what extent he has free will. And yes, he is occasionally bitterly introspective of the irony of his title. Sorry to be coy, but getting too into answering would run straight into spoilers.

Even if that's just the next few months.
DEATH TO SNEK!
Rei used to only have things worth dying for. Now she has two people worth living for. If Shinji and Asuka would be happy without her, I get the impression that Rei would be perfectly willing to sacrifice herself. But that's the issue, isn't it? That Shinji and Asuka won't be happy unless Rei is there to share that happiness with them. And all three of them will fight tooth and nail to make sure that all of them make it to the end.
Ya' know there are easier ways to answer questions like this.Sorry to be coy, but getting too into answering would run straight into spoilers.
Jerk.
Four is death, and this was the author's last post on page 444...
Actually that math gets very simple by eliminating one variable. You're right in so far as they would all rally and fight like the Dickens, but what if Shinji or Asuka was in mortal danger? How far would Rei go in that case? To her calculus, Shinji+Rei-Asuka is unacceptable. Similarly Asuka+Rei-Shinji is a non-starter. But Shinji+Asuka-Rei... Not ideal on many levels, but orders of magnitude better than options A or B.DEATH TO SNEK!
