I'm not sure what you mean by that. I mean, physically EVA-01 isn't even there in Terminal Dogma. It's all instrumentality warblgarbl anyway. What I meant is, well, Shinji is the one put in control of Instrumentality. It wouldn't be that he pilots EVA-01 when it bites Gendo's head off, but that it's just part of his Instrumentality scenario/wish.Shinji control: The Eva going berserk and opening its jaws has always been the unit reacting to Shinji's condition. Whether you believe its Yui explicitly taking control every time or not, the pilot is just a catalyst.
Yes. And now he is a miserable, self-loathing piece of shit. His entire final dialogue was just self-loathing. To have Yui end it all for him would fit perfectly to that.Gendo's wish: he got that wish through the very scene you saw before. Being with Yui again.
You seriously want to ask "Why" in EoE? More seriously, it would be the ultimate form of union. That way not only would Gendo be reunited with Yui, they would be together forever. Even after the sun and the moon have faded, inside EVA-01...Unit-01 Absorbing Gendo: Why? Just, why is that necessary? What does that accomplish?
You seem to have misunderstood me. Maybe I should have given more context, sorry. What I meant is... what was the last thing Maya saw before being liquified? Ritsuko hugging her from behind. Only that of course it wasn't Ritsuko, it was just the form GNR took to lower Maya's egobarrier/to make it easy on her. Hyuga saw Misato, and Fuyutsuku saw Yui. Only Shigeru, the nihilist, saw no illusion but a horde of Reis.
So analogous to that... whereas Maya saw Ritsuko, Gendo saw Yui in the form of EVA-01. He was probably already dying anyway, and that was just his GNR-induced death vision, similar to Maya's Ritsuko or Hyuga's Misato. Which would make the whole scene a vision/illusion and nothing more, and Gendo is simply liquified like everyone else.
