== ''Rebuild of Evangelion'' is a Sequel! ==
Quite a few people who have seen the first movie believe in this theory, since the first movie released has such things like {{spoiler|the entire sea being red, like in ''End of Evangelion''}}. There is also the final scene of the movie; although the exact translation is heavily debated, it is accepted that {{spoiler|Kaworu says, "Number Three again, huh? You never change. I will enjoy meeting you Ikari Shinji." Some have rendered the last sentence as "I will enjoy meeting you again, Ikari Shinji-kun."}} It is heavily debated though, and the mechanisms of the sequel range from reincarnation to the "Glitched reset button idea".
* The best theory relating to this is that after ''EoE,'' Lilisukei (Lilith/Asuka/Rei, the apparent Asuka at the end) tells Shinji that he messed up and asks if he wants a mulligan on it. Shinji takes the offer, and Rebuild starts.
** Just as a technical point, there is no "Lilisukei" or "Misukei" or anything to that extent. Asuka at the tail end of ''EoE'' is simply Asuka. Her eyes look "brown" or "red" due to the red filter of the light, and her bandages correspond to the injuries Eva Unit 02 suffered while she was fighting the Eva Series (überuber synch rates of death will do such things to a pilot, as shown earlier in the series). The aesthetic and artistic juxtaposition is surely intended, but Rei, Misato, and Asuka (or any other strange combination of hypersexualized female characters) did not merge into some composite amalgamation just because Shinji willed it to occur. If you want to fact check this, original cels of this scene show Asuka without the red light filter. Her eyes are still blue.
*** You know, if all humanity has been merged into one giant puddle of Tang, then there is a chance that there may be glitching when individuals try to get back out...
*** That totally undermines anyone's individuality though. Its also highly derogatory that 3 aspects of the main 14 year old male character's crushes are embodied in this one person following the end. Especially considering the whole point if someone wants to enough, they can reject instrumentality as Shinji did. Misato was dead and Rei was the instigator, so if anyone had a reason to reject it, it was Asuka. I get the composite character thing, but that was probably a thematic choice, but the disgust is pure Asuka. I mean, It just makes sense!
