I was under the impression that Rei becomes god at the end of evangelion when she fuses with Lilith, but now I am being told Unit 1 is who becomes god because it came into contact with both the seed of life and knowledge. If that is true, than what is Rei supposed to be?

Rei is Rei

In EOE, SEELE tries to tang everyone. Rei rejects gendo's plan and unites with Lilith, which unites with godmode EVA-01. From "Inside" instrumentality, Shinji decides to dismantle the whole thing and choke a bitch
rei is rei

I get it. Thank you
They both were by different approaches, like how 01 and Rei were opposite combinations of Lilith and Yui to begin with.
>>152487723
Just because she became a giant woman made out of light doesn't make her a "god".
>>152487723
it's explicitly stated that Eva 01 becomes God
>>152491277
oh fucking hell, where did the subtitles go? It basically said that now that the Eva had merged with Rei it had become the tree of life and essentially God.
DUDE DEEP SYMBOLISM LMAO

Well, Yui's spirit does but Unit 01 becomes a grey empty husk floating around in space.
I don't get it. What the fuck is instrumentality? shitty translation?
>>152493655
Instrumentality is everyone turning into mango juice and becoming on entity, everyones thoughts and actions become known all over the world. Instrumentlity is kind of like the internet, in a way.
>>152493655
Every human consciousness combining into one hivemind where there is no such thing of negative thoughts or sadness

sounds pretty sweet why did shinji stop it.
>>152487723
she's kinda cute with her big wings
>>152487723
OP, don't overthink it. Anno doesn't want you to overthink it. It just looks cool and everything works out in the end.
>>152493655
It's pretty on point. Complementation is more exact, but instrumentality is more descriptive of the use of humans as material for something bigger that was occurring. Semantics isn't a total waste of time here since they really did start with a cool scifi word and decide what it was supposed to be while the show was airing.
