[EVA] Concurrency tangent (WAS: Alternate Rei on DVD cover)

[V V]

...referring to Shinji's line, which was actually 'we even call them by the names of Angels', I think he's referring to how they're called "Sachiel", "Ramiel", etc. etc...again, no functional difference from what I meant originally.

Given the differences in what the two terms convey, yes. I know it goes against your "Must purge Evangelion of any potential religious influences" stance, but there is legitimate difference between "shito" and "tenshi" and what is conveyed by each word.

I also suspect that had Gainax not insisted on translating "shito" as Angel that we wouldn't be having this debate, at least not to this degree.
