Yui Ikari (碇ユイ, Ikari Yui?) is a fictional character from the Rebuild of Evangelion film series.
Profile[]
History[]
Yui is completely absent as a character in Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone, although Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance opens with Shinji and Gendo visiting her grave (although Gendo states that "the grave is empty as nothing remained").
Rei's body is a copy of Yui's original form, as in the original series- confirmed when Gendo sees Rei as Yui for a moment, and later when Fuyutsuki explains Rei's origins. As in the original battle with Tenth Angel, Yui (inside Unit-01) rejects the Dummy System, which Gendo interprets as Yui rejecting him. However, there is no concrete indication as to what extent Yui is responsible for the Evangelion's behavior: The Eva Pseudo-Evolution that elevates Unit-01 to near-godlike status during the Near Third Impact.
Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo[]
It is revealed in Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, that Yui's maiden name is Ayanami (thus establishing Gendo's last name in the Rebuild of Evangelion as "Ikari" rather than "Rokubungi") and that her soul lies within Unit-01's core, much like the original series. Yui is seen again as Fuyutsuki explains the involvement of Yui in Unit-01.
Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon A Time[]
Finally, in Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon A Time Gendo makes clear to Shinji that his ultimate goal and deepest desire is to be reunited with Yui for the last time, and it's also implied that he expected Shinji to understand his feelings of losing Yui by making Rei Ayanami (tentative name) deliberately short-lived. Before using the Spear of Gaius to reset the world, the soul of Yui releases Shinji from Unit-01, and while being embraced by Evangelion 13, destroys the Evangelions fulfilling her son's wish.
