But the problem is, Naoko was EXTREMELY valuable to NERV and it's doubtful they'd have risked losing her as they did Yui by making her a pilot. So she probably wouldn't have had any chance to synch with Eva-00 before Rei-1 showed up, and she sure the heck didn't have much chance AFTER Rei-1 and her own swan dive. Besides, we suspect her soul is in the Magi... >Since Unit 01 and unit 02 has their respective pilots mothers souls in >them i think we can assume that this was the plan for all EVA:s.

Yes, but who was originally intended to be the pilot of Eva-00? I've heard an interesting theory that Misato was supposed to be it - which would explain what she was doing in the Antarctic on a top secret mission (they were trying to suck her in right from the start) - and that her mother didn't die in SI but was kidnapped and used to build Eva-00. That would mean it wasn't after Ritsuko or Gendo or anyone else in the control room that time; rather, Misato's mother was trying to reach her daughter and protect her from what she recognized as the enemy. I'm not sure I buy this, but it IS interesting. But the best explaination of what's in Eva-00 seems to be Lillith, Yui, Rei, or some combination of aspects thereof. FW
