Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Angel; collectively, Angels |
| Original name | 使徒 |
| Species/Race | Extraterrestrial life-forms, according to Huang Zhetian’s account 41 |
| Occupation/Role | NERV’s principal combat targets; their attacks threaten humanity with Third Impact 1 13 |
| Status | Several individuals destroyed; an unnamed Angel is still infiltrating NERV and MAGI in the latest documented encounter 8 17 25 42 47 50 |
| First Appearance | Chapter 1, through a simulated Shamshel in Huang Zhetian’s pilot-selection test 1 |
Background / History
According to Huang Zhetian, the Angels arrived on Earth countless years before humanity. He attributes First Impact and the subsequent emergence of life to them, challenging Asuka’s assumption that they are simply foreign invaders. He also states that Second Impact began when humans discovered an Angel and removed the Spear of Longinus. This account contradicts the information NERV gave the pilots, and Huang asks them to keep it secret 41.
Huang identifies the Evas as copies of the First Angel and says the Dead Sea Scrolls record information about every Angel. The organization following those prophecies seeks to turn humanity into gods, making the Angel encounters part of a deliberately managed scenario rather than merely a sequence of attacks 41.
Angel cores also have technological value. Gendo obtains approval for the A-17 Directive to capture a living Angel for its S2 Core, which is needed to advance Mass Production Unit development. Separately, SEELE discusses arranging an early S² Engine merger with Unit-01, while Gendo intends to proceed with giving the unit an engine despite the committee’s objections 13 17 23.
Abilities & Skills
A.T. Field
- Defensive barrier: Shamshel blocks a Particle Knife until Huang activates his own A.T. Field; the Music Angel similarly stops machine-gun fire 1 14.
- Resistance to military weapons: Naval attacks fail to penetrate the Fish Angel’s field, while N² Air Missiles leave the Space Angel unscathed 7 46.
- Offensive use: The Space Angel crushes monitoring satellites with its field and combines it with falling impacts to cause massive destruction 46.
- Countermeasures: Eva fields can neutralize an Angel’s barrier, allowing knives or other weapons to reach its vulnerable interior. Multiple Eva fields do not guarantee protection: the split Music Angel shatters the three pilots’ combined defense 14 25 47.
Core / S² Engine
- The core is a decisive attack target: repeated Particle Knife strikes defeat simulated Shamshel, and a combined kick breaks the Music Angel’s core 2 17.
- The Fish Angel’s core lies inside its body, requiring an attack through its mouth rather than a straightforward external strike 8.
- The Space Angel collapses after Asuka drives a Progressive Knife into its S² Engine 47.
Individual Offensive Abilities
- Cross-shaped energy attacks: Shamshel, the Music Angel, and the fully hatched volcanic Angel fire destructive beams. The Music Angel’s beam pierces Unit-01’s waist and severely burns Shinji 1 14 25.
- Corrosive liquid: The Rain Angel releases highly corrosive fluid from its enormous eye, damaging Evas and severing their power connections 41 42.
- Physical restraint: Shamshel grabs and throws an Eva; the Fish Angel attacks with crushing jaws; the volcanic Angel uses tentacles to seize the Special Unit’s foot 1 8 25.
- Orbital bombardment and interference: The Space Angel drops duplicates toward Earth and disrupts radio tracking during its descent 46 47.
Division, Learning, and Evolution
- Division and recombination: The Music Angel becomes two coordinated bodies after Asuka cuts it in half. Those bodies can merge again and deploy an A.T. Field 14 17.
- Aim correction: The Space Angel adjusts its bombardment after its first falling duplicate misses, leading NERV to recognize that it is learning 46.
- Rapid adaptation: The unnamed facility intruder initially appears vulnerable to ozone, then absorbs it, generates heat, and resumes spreading 50.
- Computer infiltration: That intruder attacks MAGI with processing speed beyond the operators’ ability to respond. Huang proposes accelerating its evolution toward extinction, but the supplied account does not confirm its destruction 50.
Documented Angels and Encounters
| Angel / Designation | Distinguishing Features | Encounter and Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Shamshel — Third Angel | Long, slender gripping limbs; two small eyes that flash before a laser attack 1. | Appears in China NERV’s selection simulation. Huang destroys its core with a Particle Knife and passes the test in three minutes and twenty seconds 1 2. |
| Fish Angel — Sixth Angel | Enormous aquatic body, powerful jaws, and an internal core 8. | Attacks the fleet transporting the Evas. Huang holds its mouth open while Asuka and Shinji push two evacuated battleships inside; the resulting internal attack destroys it 6 7 8. |
| Music Angel — Seventh Angel | Splits into two bodies capable of coordinated beam attacks and recombination 14. | Survives Asuka’s initial bisecting strike and gravely injures Shinji. Huang covers the retreat before Chinese saturation bombardment. After synchronization training, Huang and Asuka destroy it with a combined Rider Kick within NERV’s one-minute deadline 14 15 17. |
| Angel Embryo / volcanic Angel | Initially pupal; after hatching, has six tentacles, tough skin, and an enormous beam-firing mouth 23 25. | A live-capture operation becomes a fight for survival. The three Evas neutralize its field and force an N² Missile into its mouth. Huang cuts off his Eva’s trapped foot to escape before the explosion destroys the Angel and volcano 23 24 25. |
| Rain Angel — called the Eighth Angel | Resembles an enormous spider; pours corrosive liquid from its eye 41 42. | Approaches Tokyo-3 during NERV’s power failure. Huang cleaves it in half with an A.T. Field-infused Greatsword energy wave 40 41 42. |
| Space Angel | Largest Angel encountered by that point; three eyes, with two on wing-like side structures 46. | Attacks from orbit and threatens Tokyo-3. Unit-01 and the Special Unit arrest its fall, Rei cuts its field, and Asuka stabs its S² Engine. Its destruction leaves an enormous crater 45 46 47. |
| Unnamed evolving intruder | Spreads contamination through NERV and adapts to attempted sterilization 50. | Seizes deep facilities and infiltrates MAGI. Akagi changes MAGI’s logic mode to slow it while the team considers Huang’s evolution-to-extinction strategy; the encounter remains unresolved in the provided material 50. |
System Rewards
Huang’s system assigns different rewards to individual Angels and explicitly warns that richer rewards indicate greater danger 8 13.
| Target | Displayed Reward |
|---|---|
| Music Angel | 6,000 training points and one Resurrection Ring 13. |
| Angel Embryo | 7,000 practice points; Special Unit Greatsword blueprints. Rescuing Asuka carries the bonus skill Ten Thousand Swords Become One 23. |
| Rain Angel | 1,000 points and a Crystal Necklace requiring blood authentication 40. |
Notes
- Numbering inconsistency: The volcanic embryo is introduced under the chapter title “Discovery of the Eighth Angel,” but the Rain Angel is also explicitly called the Eighth Angel later 22 41.
- Reward discrepancy: An early passage calls the Ninth Angel the weakest and values it at 800 points. The later Rain Angel mission is worth 1,000 points, with Huang remarking that it “used to be 800 points”; the supplied material does not reconcile these references 8 40.
