Examples Are Not Arguable. Shout-Out Theme Naming must be intentional. This has Example I Ndentation all over the place.
- In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX there are two female students from the Obelisk Blue dorm named Asuka and Rei.
- Evangelion references aren't just for GX. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the resident Jerkass Rival is named Shinji while his brother is named Reiji.
- Older Than They Think, since Eva's Rei and Asuka were in fact named for a character from Raideen, Rei Asuka.
- That's debatable, or possibly just synchronistic, since Rei is usually regarded as being named after Sailor Moon's Rei Hino.
- Another (possibly uninentional) Evangelion reference can be found in Smile Pretty Cure. The first syllables of the Five-Man Band's names form "Ayanami Rei".
