This short explores a scene in Neon Genesis Evangelion where an angel manages to infect Rei's psyche, and it initiates a conversation inside her mind, where it invites her to merge their souls together into one.

This video is a clip from a longer video, linked in the caption, where I discuss the power of the angels in Neon Genesis Evangelion as it is exhibited in this scene. I compare it to a similar scene where Unit 1 absorbs Shinji's existence into itself, and I explain the way in which these scenes fit into the broader plot and themes of Evangelion. It turns out that the angels' power of unification, is the power to achieve the ultimate goal of love -- or at least, this is Gendo Ikari's view of the matter. I explain how this works in the full video.
