>>3505429>Time travel would be going back to the NGE cycle and changing shitThat's not time travel, NGE is not Rebuild's past. Time travel would be returning to a previous point in your own timeline. You can’t go back to the old state after reset and overwrite.
>>3505432>What’s the difference here?A loop would reset and restart everything, it’s a “run this level again and again until you know it by memory and ace it”. All You Need Is Kill for example, changes in a loop happen when someone remembers and trial and errors their way through the event. But Kaworu is looking forward and not backward. It’s not about finding a crucial mistake in the past and rewriting the timeline by correcting it, but accepting the present as is and moving forward with the future. What I’m trying to get at is that as far as Shin’s story is concerned, the gacha writers are guessing that Kaworu might have the accumulated memory of many previous cycles, but we won’t have something banal like Shinji using knowledge of the future to tamper with the past.
