Kyoko Zeppelin Sohryu (惣流・キョウコ・ツェッペリン?) is a fictional character from the Neon Genesis Evangelion: ANIMA novel.

Profile[]

Kyoko's soul has been inside both Evangelion Unit-02 Type II Allegorica and Evangelion EURO-II Heurtebise, since it used parts of it as testbed for the development of the Heurtebise unit. Unlike the TV series, she is shown to be alive, living in a small hamlet near the Rhine.[1]

Asuka Langley Sohryu in her Torwart A1 form and Hikari Horaki visited the place where Kyoko lives in order to see her.

Kyoko was asleep in her bed. Her situation is that she is being held in one of the Europe's Evangelion Research facility that also held the failed Evangelion candidates, those who weren't chosen by Heurtebise would live there until their death under strict observation. Alongside those failed pilots, other individuals who possessed highly sensitive information would be kept there too.

Kyoko's is described as a pale woman with sunken cheeks. Her brain fluctuations were active a few hours previously the visit by Asuka and Hikari. She is equipped with implants that creates a calming environment, her body rejects drugs after being exposed for such a long time, now being only able to be maintained through nanomachines with an exterior electromagnetic network attached to her bed.

History[]

Neon Genesis Evangelion: ANIMA[]

Volume 4[]

The two Torwarts appear in Europe, after the battle of Novaya Zemlya fully healed. Torwart B stayed still without moving. Torwart A walked into the village, as it walked, the damage of its steps and the back plate caused much destruction to the small village.

As Heurtebise was being repaired, Hikari visited the small village with a bouquet of flowers in her hands. Upon the danger of the Torwart, the NERV Germany security team wanted to extract her from the situation, but Hikari refused leaving, saying that she believes that the giant wants to see her too.

Hikari asked their defense force to not attack Asuka, and their fighter planes kept flying above the village. Hikari upon talking with the doctors, took her smartbed into the hospital's elevator and pressed the button to the roof. There, she talks with Kyoko, saying that Asuka came with her to meet you. Hikari thought how ironic it was that the counscious in Heurtebise asked Hikari to take care of Asuka in North Africa and the same conscience protected her daughter in the Moon from being absorbed by the Ark, forming the Asuka/Evangelion synthesis.

Hikari ponders if meeting her mother as a being so small in her vision inside an Evangelion has this feeling, saying that she felt the same thing when she saw Toji inside the N² Flanker, even more when you are used to see they loom over you.

Asuka extended her arm straight and hovered her fingers over the bed. Hikari apologized for screaming at her about Toji, telling her that she knew she was trying to save him. As she said that, she noticed that Kyoko was now smiling.

Not long after that, Asuka's body turned into the north and started walking in that direction, not only Asuka, but Torwart B too, like it was being called over by something. [3]
