What Exactly is the EVA
We all know what the EVAs' purpose
is. To combat the angels and eventually to combat each other in an attempt
to bring mankind to a higher evolutionary level. EVA translates into Eve.
Eve was created out of Adam by God and therefore they made the first two
humans. EVA was created out of Adam as was Eve meaning the EVAs
are human *thus proving Ritsuko Akagi's claim in Genesis 0:12 about the
EVAs true essence*
Evangelion Unit-01 is piloted by the main
character, Shinji Ikari. Ikari is the third child and was brought to
NERV by his father who is in charge. EVA-01 is the most powerful of any
of the Evangelions and is the most controversial. EVA-01 has moved
without power on several occasions to save Shinji inside NERV. It also
beserked on three occasions and destroyed three angels (the third,
twelth, and fouteenth.) Unit-01 was part of the Tree of Life formation
that started the third impact. We all know who's soul is in
Evangelion Unit-01. Shinji's
mother Yui Ikari. If you haven't gotten that after watching the entire
series and watching the movies *even though I haven't* you weren't
paying attention. Eva-01 is a clone of Lillith. Remember Lillith
was captured before Adam and EVA-01 was created and Yui chose to merge
with the EVA. This explains why Rei can sync with EVA-01 because she is
part Yui Ikari, giving her a geneticlink to it. This is also the reason
why Kaworu couldn't use EVA-01. If had used Unit-01 nothing could have
stopped him because Shinji can't pilot Unit-02.
Eva Unit-00 is the test model
of the Evangelion series. It is piloted by the first child, Rei Ayanami.
The Evangelion beserked and injured the pilot during a test with it a
few weeks before the 3rd angel, Satchiel, attacked Tokyo-3. It's first
task was to defend EVA-01 at all costs, even if it meant being destroyed
so that EVA-01 could eliminate the fifth angel. After that mission,
EVA-00 is out of action for a while and is given a paint job from Orange
to Blue. It is unknown as to why. Unit-00 is responsible for the
destruction of the 15th angel after hurling the Spear of Loginus into
space and piercing the angel. Unit-00 was destroyed after the pilot
decided to contain the angel within her AT field and destroy them both
rather than witness Shinji die as well. EVA Unit-00was created AFTER Unit-00. The
question asked is who is the soul of Unit-00. Many
people THINK it is Nakao Akagi. This is wrong! Despite some evidence to
support that claim the soul is none other than Lillith. The mother of
all human life. This explains why Shinji could do a test with Unit-00
and that means Asuka could have as well. Unit-00 is NOT a clone of
Lillith and simply has its soul. This explains why Lillith attempts
to kill Gendo, Rei, and Shinji in the two tests. It hates Gendo for
creating Rei out of her. She obviously doesn't like Rei. And Shinji
because he is Gendo's sole offspring. Unit-00 is made out of Adam but
isn't a clone of him. It also gives a little backup why Lillith was
freed from the cross in the movies because Lillith's soul was free with
the destruction of Unit-00.
Unit-02 is, debatably, the
weakest of the Evangelions. It was the first Evangelion production model
or as its pilot, the second child, Asuka Langely, says, "The first
Evangelion designed for combat!" The soul residing in it is Asuka's
mom. Asuka's mom went insane after a test with the Evangelion and
committed suicide. Asuka discovered her hanging with her "Asuka."
Unit-02 is used by Kaworu to delay Shinji as he tries to get to Terminal
Dogma. In the movies Unit-02 is destroyed just as it is about beserk
when it is pierced by a duplicate of the spear of Loginus. EVA-02's
record *I am giving it a win and loss against the EVA-05 series because
of what happened* is 5-5 (lost to Israfel, EVA-03, Zuriel, the fifteenth
angel, and EVA-05 series.) Likes EVA-00 it is made out of Adam but is
not a clone. Unit-02
has the soul of Asuka's mother. Its obvious in the Tv series and the
movies. In some ways its like a doll and is used like one by Asuka as
her mother *whose soul resides in it* created her own doll to represent
Asuka after going mad. Eva-02 is like Unit-00 and is created out of Adam
but is still not a clone of him. This also explains why Kaworu
controlled it. Kaworu is an angel and he is therefore related to Adam
because all Angels attempt to return to him. Since the EVA's soul was
dormant *or so I have heard* at the time, and he could connect to it.
Unit-03 doesn't have much of
a lifespan. It is created in the US and is sent to Japan. At Matsushiro
base it is schedueled for a test but the EVA is infected by an angel.
The pilot, Touji Suzahara, is trapped inside. EVA-03 appears to be a
very tough EVA and probably almost as strong as Shinji's though the
angel lacks fighting ability. It takes out EVA-02 in no time. And after
Rei hesitated it took her out of commision for a while too. Then it
moved on to Shinji who refused to fight. It began to choke Unit-01 until
Gendo activated the dummy plug system and we see the horrors as Unit-01
turns into a monster and rips EVA-03 and Touji apart with Shinji's own
hands. Touji survives though he loses his left arm and leg.
Why Touji? Number one... he was a fourth level candidate. Two... he was in the entry plug
with
Shinji once. Third, he is probably the most physically and mentally fit
of all the pilots. All the pilots are motherless which explains who is
in the entry plug, Touji's mother. Can I prove this. No. I can't prove
it but its fairly safe to assume. It like Unit's-00 and 02, created out
of Adam. Therefore the angel could take it over.
Almost nothing is known about
Unit-04. In fact I think it is only shown once in Death & Rebirth
for only a moment. The only other way you can see what it looked like is
by buying some model kit. It looks generally the same as Unit-03 except
it is white. It had no pilot and was the first to attempt to use an S2
engine but apparently it malfunctioned and destroyed the EVA along with
the enitre second branch of NERV. I don't know if it had a
soul or not. In fact the only thing I know really about it is that it
was created out of Adam like all the rest of the Evas. I don't even
think there was a dummy plug for it. In a test with an S2 engine, it
exploded taking out all of Nevada and branch 2 of NERV in the prosess.
If anyone actually has an idea
please email
me.
There is some
information on the Unit-05 series.It
was built by SEELE opposed to NERV. It is believed that one was
created in each of the G7 nations and two others (The USA, Russia,
China, UK, France, Germany, Israel, Korea, and Japan.) They are responsible for the
complete dismantling of EVA-02.
They have wings, S2 engines, and can regenerate *as Asuka sadly found
out.* They form the Tree of Life formation off of Unit-01 and begin
the third impact. Well, EVAs 00, 02, 03, and 04, are all part of Adam
but in fact are really EVE. Eva translates into Eve, which holds true.
The third impact could not occur with Eve in place of Adam even though
she was created out of him.
They are piloted by the Kaworu dummy plug. Now, who could Kaworu be
genetically connected to since these EVA's needed a soul. None other
than ADAM. Thats right! The Unit-05 series are clones of Adam! Thats why
Kaworu's dummy plug can work as well as the reason the third impact
could occur. In order for Human Instrumentality to occur, SEELE needed
Adam, Lillith, and the spear of Loginus. Adam was there in the form of
the EVA-05 series. Lillith was there in the form of EVA-01 which is a
clone of Lillith. And of course the spear of Loginus was returned
inducting the Third Impact.
