User blog comment:Yuui Ootori/Theory: Teito is Eve's sword/@comment-5927552-20130702060511

I think the idea that Teito is Eve's reincarnation is better supported with proof, because it hasn't been about Teito holding some light, but his soul itself being pure and bright despite everything. Even if he was a reincarnation of Eve's Sword, I doubt a weapon would be as pure. Also, Verloren and Eve differ greatly with abilities in many aspects. For example Verloren's job, his helpers were different than what Eve did. So just because Verloren had a soul-devouring scythe, doesn't mean Eve had a living sword. After all Verloren needed the scythe to be able to do that for his job, for it acted as a means to get rid of souls far too tarnished. Also, the whole thing with Verloren/Ayanami that really supports the Teito being Eve's Reincarnation is the fact of Lab's prophecy. If Eve's soul was merely sealed alongside of Teito's, his soul could easily be eaten and she could be freed, and Verloren would have both of what he wanted. But the fact that he has to choose could only mean that if Verloren revives and kills Teito, he can't reach Eve. Not to mention, the scythe wasn't reincarnated into Frau, but implanted, which makes the theory, although creative, almost impossible to support.
