![]() The pectoral plates are different from those seen on any other Eva. The helmet, with its prominent horn and “frill”, is vaguely evocative of a ceratopsid dinosaur. Unit-01’s armor is primarily purple some components are colored neon green, light blue, orange, and black. The Mass Production models were also equipped with NERV-developed S² Engines but it is a common misconception that they also have the ability to regenerate (see entry below). Just before Unit-01 absorbed the S² Engine, it used one of Zeruel’s arms to regenerate its severed left arm, demonstrating the Angelic ability of regeneration. The S² Engine seems to be used only at Unit-01’s discretion after acquiring it, the Eva is still sent into battle with an umbilical cable. Upon savagely disfiguring the fourteenth Angel, Zeruel, it proceeded to devour the Angel and assimilated its S² Engine, making Unit-01 the first physically complete Evangelion prior to the construction of the Mass Production units. Unit-01 is called the “Test Type”, perhaps because of the experimental way in which it was created: although Unit-01 seems to be an Adam-derived cybernetic organism like all other Evangelions, it is the sole Eva to have been born from Lilith. The Eva’s resident soul, Yui Ikari (Shinji’s mother), appears to be responsible for such events. The Eva will also take action to protect its pilot while sometimes servicing other interests. ![]() It frequently acts independently (the “ Berserk Mode”), without the instructions of a pilot and without any apparent power source. Following its going berserker and eating of Zeruel’s S² Engine, it was the only Evangelion able to go without umbilical cable until the construction of the Mass Production Evangelions.Ĭreated in the Third Annex of Gehirn’s Artificial Evolution Laboratory in Hakone from 2003 to 2004 and deemed a functional Eva unit in 2014, Unit-01 is piloted by Shinji Ikari (with Rei Ayanami or a Rei dummy plug as backup pilots), and has the best battle record of all the Evangelions. It is the only EVA to be born from Lilith. It houses the soul of Shinji’s mother, Yui Ikari. ![]() In the alternate universe game Girlfriend of Steel 2, Kaworu Nagisa pilots Eva Unit 05, which is otherwise the same as the Mass Production units, except that the Dummy Plug is replaced by a standard entry plug.Evangelion Unit-01 (初号機, “ Shogōki”) is the first non-prototype Evangelion unit, and is referred to as the “Test Type”. Additionally, the MP Evas consistently behave in an animal-like manner they show formidable savagery, and circle Unit 02 in the air in a manner similar to vultures before descending to fight and tear the Eva apart.Įach MP Eva contains an internal S² Engine, which grants them complete mobility (being freed from the umbilical cable) and no operational time limit. Their primary weapons are double-bladed Heavy Lances, which eventually transform into their true form, dark gray replicas of the Lance of Longinus. They also lack the shoulder-mounted armor "blades" which were characteristic of previous Evas. They are equipped with large, mechanical, avian-style wings that enable them to fly, and which can be fully retracted into the back. Their heads overall have a similar shape to that of a whale. The long jaws have red muscular lips, metal-plated teeth, a large grey tongue, and produce large quantities of saliva. Their physical build is different from previous Evas, being narrower in the chest and shoulders and wider in the hips, and apparently covered by the same reinforced plastic that coats the arms. ![]() In dialogue, they are referred to as the Eva Series (エヴァシリーズ Evashirīzu?). They are controlled directly by Seele via Dummy Plugs based on Kaworu Nagisa. Seele had them produced as part of their backup plan for initiating Instrumentality, but only nine out of an envisioned twelve were completed. Units 05 and 06 were made in Germany Unit 08 was produced in China. These Evas appear in The End of Evangelion and were produced at seven different Nerv branches around the world, probably Germany (Third Branch), the United States (First Branch, Massachusetts), Japan (Matsushiro), the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China.
