Nightmare fuel moments in Doing It Right This Time:
- Consider in this continuity Rei was a clone of Naoko. Then remember Naoko lied to Rei by telling her she could not have children, and later killed her. You have to wonder what Rei's life was like when Naoko was around.
- Shortly before returning Asuka and Shinji ran into each other, Asuka tried to drive a knife into Shinji's heart, then they had a long, civil talk... and decided to walk into the ocean together. Apparently their lives did NOT get better After the End.
- Shinji repeatedly shows signs of suicidal tendencies, to the point where Asuka has to directly intervene to prevent him from eating a bullet. His combination of strong PTSD and blatant nihilism convinces Misato (who manages to convince Gendo) that NERV needs to hire a professional therapist yesterday.
