>>3663544Kaworu was a bystander in eoe but probably by choice. He wanted the lilin to choose their own future like he said in ep24 and didn't get in rei or shinji's way. We know rebuild kaworu had the power to do something inside the golgotha object in 3.0+1.0 because kaworu, a soul without a vessel, wouldn't have offered to become the new center of instrumentality to help shinji if he couldn't do anything without a body. Again, things are different this time because they're inside the golgotha object and can change fate and reality to their will.
>her lines are about misunderstanding that's why she apologizedShe didn't apologize for misunderstanding shinji, she apologized because she couldn't keep shinji from piloting the Eva.
--Rei: Ikari-kun, I'm sorry. I wasn't able to keep you from piloting the Eva.
--Shinji: Haha. It's alright. Thank you, Ayanami.
Look, I know she was wrong. Shinji would've never wanted her to stay trapped in unit 01 just to make him "happy", it's why he wants her to find a place of her own in the new world, but she never admitted she was wrong unless you take her "thank you" as that.
>Rei is a soul, Kaworu is a soul, they have no Adam and Lilith powers to help like they did beforeThey still have the power to change things inside the golgotha object, the fact that kaworu could've become the new center of instrumentality proves that.
