A halo (天使の輪, tenshi no wa?) is a ring of energy that mainly appears in the Rebuild of Evangelion film series.
Halos appear to represent "divine" (i.e. supernatural and/or abnormally powerful) manifestations, such as the power of an Angel or the awakening of an Evangelion.

Neon Genesis Evangelion[]
The halo motif is put to limited use in the original series. Most notably, one forms over the head of Unit-00 as it transitions into a giant Rei, moments before self-destructing.
In tradition[]
Halos are a Christian visual motif associated with angels and holy figures (such as Jesus Christ).
