If the rebuild movies aren't a sequel, can you explain why

Second impact's fault. It's plainly stated in 2.22.

There's also a streak of blood on the moon, which was left by Lilith in EoE.

Also, Kaworu seems to be aware of the events that happened in EoE, too...

However, I'd say these are just some sort of easter egg or something like that rather than hints about the fact it's actually a sequel.

Four Adams, Rebuild Earth got fucked harder in Second Impact. It's suggestive of some relation but they can't be literally the same events since there are direct links between pre and post Impact like the marine preservation facility.

Rebuilds are like an alternate timeline of the original.Kaworu seems to be aware of what happened in the original continuity.

Kaworu was supposed to have a whole arc but because of the small budget, they had to wrap up his entire story in one fucking episode.
Also yeah, i think those small hints are easter eggs.
We won't know until 3.0 + 1.0. Is the godzilla movie done btw?

Guys a question, the original 26 episode anime, is it supposed to be shinjis flash back? The whole thing i mean.

a whole arc in the original series? that would have been nice, kaworu's character was rather unique and interesting.

no idea about the godzilla movie, but i'm sure anno is supervising both projects at the same time.

It's Rei's flashback, but her flashbacks actually happen while she has them.

What

>>133842802
Eh, doesn't really convince me... the mystery of the Rei apparitions is still unsolved

>>133842932
Her memories are the events themselves as they occurred, space and time are hers. And she's never seen to use it for anything but to creep on her brother.
