I've recently seen the Italian theatrical version of Eva 3.0+1.0 and I was
very surprised to discover

> [Rei's death scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jDw1MgIaEc)

had been completely removed from the movie.

I frankly can't understand why they did something like that: it made the movie
more difficult to understand and basically worked as a plot hole, because
without

> Rei's death dialogue

it makes no sense at all for Shinji to come back and fight the last battle.

I would like to know why this happened.

Why has this character's death been removed from the Italian theatrical version of Eva 3.0+1.0?


The distributor [Nexo Digital has affirmed this has happened due to an
error](https://www.facebook.com/NexoDigital/posts/pfbid021YgjKyNkByk4EGhuMAhNXVJ7X8rKD239mTQh1BaeU5n6GMUvuegvCsXdEpntNUFQl),
so at the very least this is true:

> A seguito delle numerose segnalazioni, e dopo un’opportuna verifica,
> confermiamo di avere riscontrato che alcune copie difettose di “Evangelion
> 3.0 + 1.01 Thrice Upon A Time” sono state erroneamente consegnate ai cinema

Translation (Deepl):

Also yes, you are among the very few people on the planet who can say to have
witnessed a "canonical" timeline of Eva 3.0 + 1.0 in which Rei never dies.
