Oh hey, it's Rei! Why is she standing over-HOLY CRAP! (Someone give Alison and Kotono awards, their acting in these scenes is perfection)

Anyway back to the manga




She's not quite dead yet....this is one of the most badass moments I've ever seen in any manga, literally.









And then she went to heaven to be with Kaji-kun! :)

Anyway, back to our main focus, Blenda, I mean....Ritsuko.

Fiddle dee dee I do declare! Where has that blonde gone off to! Well it just so happens Ritsuko was basically all 'Oh fuck this' when NERV was getting decimated. So she does what any sensible person would do during a time of bloodshed.

She goes down to Terminal DOGMA and sits with her feet in the LCL (tang, water, life, blood, basically it's what we turn into when we die. *SPLAT*)



"Sup bitches?" as she brandishes her gun.




So you got this Mexican Standoffish thing going on.




Oh I see...she's gonna activate the MAGI and then take them with her. "AND THEN U BOTH GO WITH MEEEEEEEEE" Oh great plan Rits. Momma would be proud.....




....not. Well Ritsuko, the shit just hit the fan. Look what you did woman.

Instead of pulling her gun back out again and shooting Gendo point blank then and there...this happens.



GODDAMNIT MOM Y U NO LEIK ME? Y U GOTTA CHOOSE HIM OVR ME? Y! Y! Y!


Now, in the film version, Gendo mutters something inaudible to Ritsuko before she is blown across the room. Only Hideaki Anno and Yuriko Yamaguchi (Ritsuko's Japanese VA) know what the line is. Anno told Yuriko how she would react if *and here he said the line*. He also did the same with Asuka's Japanese VA during the ending scene of the film. Yuriko has said that she thinks Gendo truely said that he loved her. Not even Matt Greenfield and his horrid wife Tiffany Grant know what the line is, as does Sue Ulu (gorgeous woman btw, highly praised for her scenes where she destroys the Rei clones and her death scene, the Rei scene in Japanese is quite monotone compared to Sue's version, she goes all out, and I mean ALL OUT hysterical)
