History

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Kōzō Fuyutsuki and Gendo Ikari watches the new Evangelion unit as they talk about the Human Instrumentality Project, Gendo says it is the new prototype Evangelion, specifically made for it. Fuyutsuki tells Gendo that Ritsuko Akagi is still looking for a new pilot candidate. Gendo tells him to let her continue, since Project E isn't complete and according to SEELE script, there is one Angel remaining.

Days later, Kaworu Nagisa heads toward Central Dogma using Ritsuko's security card, even when Ritsuko calls him, he says he is sorry and an A.T. Field is detected, Kaworu being the one. He changes shape into an Angel with a visible Core. When a laser attack is sighted on him, he uses his A.T. Field to deflect it. Kaworu continues his path to Central Dogma, being invulnerable to common weapons. NERV prepares to launch Unit-02, but Asuka can't get a high enough Synch-Ratio to activate it.

Gendo and Fuyutsuki enter the command center and relieve Ritsuko from her position and Gendo assumes command. Gendo orders the standby of Unit-01 and orders the activation of α EVA.

α EVA arrives in the Evangelion cage, and the Dummy Plug is loaded in. Kaworu encounters Rei and they talk, Kaworu says that they sent an Evangelion after him, and Rei tells him that it isn't Unit-01 or Unit-02. They leave the room together, with him dragging her by her hand. The α EVA upon sight of the Angel, attacks like a beast but Kaworu dodges all attacks, α EVA crashes into a wall and crumbles it. Cornered by the rubble, α EVA swallows both Rei and Kaworu together. At this point Unit-01 appears.

Unit-01 skewers α EVA with the progressive knife and cuts it open, killing it saving Rei from inside it.

Trivia

• It is also known as α EVA (αーエヴァ^?) in the script.
• A similar idea would be used later with the Evangelion Unit-α from the game Neon Genesis Evangelion: Battle Orchestra, but it would have normal Evangelion size.
