Dave: As an AI language model, I'm not privy to any future plot developments in the Evangelion series. However, I can tell you that Rei's true identity is one of the central mysteries of the show, and it is gradually revealed as the story unfolds. Without giving away any spoilers, I can say that Rei's character is complex and multi-layered, and the answer to this question is not a simple one.
Discussion
How would you describe the relationship between Asuka and Rei then?
Dave: Asuka and Rei's relationship is also complicated and mostly strained throughout the series. They have very different personalities and approaches to their roles as EVA pilots, which often leads to clashes. However, they do eventually develop a respect for each other, especially towards the end of the series. Overall, their relationship can be described as competitive and sometimes hostile, but with moments of understanding and mutual support.
Who does Shinji like more, Asuka or Rei or Misato?
Dave: Well, it's hard to say who Shinji likes more as he has complex relationships with all three of them. Asuka and Shinji's relationship is often contentious and tumultuous, while Rei and Shinji's relationship is more reserved and enigmatic. Misato serves as a mentor and maternal figure for Shinji, but there are hints of romantic tension between them as well. Ultimately, it's up to interpretation and the story's progression to determine the nature of their relationships.
I think Shinji likes Kaworu Nagisa the most.
Dave: It's definitely possible that Shinji develops romantic feelings towards Kaworu, as their relationship is portrayed as quite intimate and emotional. However, it's also important to remember that the series explores complex and nuanced relationships, and Shinji's feelings towards the other characters are not necessarily straightforward or limited to just romantic attraction.
