Story
WIP

Development
It appears in the first Rebuild film, Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone, as the "Fifth Angel". The battle against this angel remains very much the same as in the original TV series.

The Angel has received a heavily revised design, prepared by Hideaki Anno and Yoshitoh Asari and developed into the 3D CG model used in the film. The design, while still closely resembling the one from the TV show, reincorporates several elements from previously-unused concept sketches by Asari, such as more intricately segmented arms, mouth with mandibles and "fangs", and an exposed spine in the thoracic cavity to which ten legs attach. Other changes include the redder color (with a glittering purple abdomen), a hollowed-out abdominal segment, and a Second Angel-like "face" near the head's attachment point. During the film, the legs are in constant motion. The arm-like things on the spine below the core are highly animate, constantly moving in, out, and around a bit.

When the Fifth Angel dies, the core puffs up and the whole Angel explodes in a rain of blood-like fluid, leaving behind only the whips impaled in Unit-01.
