It is the first Eva to see combat, deployed when the Third Angel, Sachiel, attacks. Its neck is depicted with rows of curious slits evocative of gills.Īt the end of End of Evangelion, Eva-01 is seen to have hair, though Evas don't seem to have any to start with.Ĭhrome Eva-01 in the Proposal Operational HistoryĮva-01's operational history is the longest of any Evangelion. Its forehead possesses an "Angel face" marking, from which concentric patches of gradually darkening color emanate.

Its skin is dark brown (although much lighter on the arm regenerated from Zeruel's).
The Eva's distinctive helmet visually evokes the horn and frill of a ceratopsian dinosaur.īiologically, Eva-01 possesses two completely green eyes, with four nostrils situated between them. The reason for the differences in design has never been explained. The implication is that, by its unique creation, Eva-01 was intended as a "backup" for Lilith all along.Įva-01 has a distinctive chest plate that resembles pectoral muscles, as opposed to the V-shaped chest plate seen on other Evangelions, and its pylons have a unique configuration as well. Once all of the Angels are destroyed, Eva-01 becomes the key to both Gendo and Seele's scenarios for Third Impact, in which the former intends to use it as an "ark to save humanity from the nothingness of Third Impact," and the latter as a "medium" to Lilith, who has been rendered unusable by the loss of the original Spear of Longinus. While Eva-00 has gone out of control before and Eva-02 goes berserk immediately before being destroyed, Eva-01 is the only Eva that has gone berserk in direct combat, to deadly effect.Įva-01 is treated by the higher-ups at Nerv HQ, namely Gendo Ikari, with suspicious favoritism. Eva-01 is infamous for going berserk and moving without any power supply (prior to the acquisition of the S² Engine from the Angel Zeruel). Īs with the rest of the Eva Series, it was ostensibly created as a weapon to be used against the Angels, and was the first Evangelion to face actual combat (against the Third Angel Sachiel). Eva-01 is also designed with a traditional "Oni" as an inspiration. This is a pun in Japanese, so the English dub inserted an extra line clarifying this, with Ritsuko explaining that "O-Nine" is a pun on "Oni", the Japanese word for "demon". "O9 System" seems like a fitting thing to call it". In Episode 01 Ritsuko tells Misato that the odds of Eva Unit 01 activating are "0.000000009%. Eva-01 received its soul as a result of the Contact Experiment with Yui Ikari in 2004, but was not "finished" until 2014. Unlike the other Evas, its body was generated directly from the body of Lilith, and is consequently referred to as Lilith's "offspring" or "clone." On a physical level, Eva-01 has the same characteristics as an Adam-based (i.e., any other) Evangelion, so the exact nature of its relationship to Lilith remains a subject of debate. Eva-01 was produced by the Hakone branch of Gehirn as the Evangelion Test Type model.
