Angels (New Theatrical Edition)
The Angels from the Evangelion New Theatrical Edition (Rebuild of Evangelion) movies follow below. Unlike their original series counterparts, they are simply known by their numbers, not their names. While they appear similar to their original series counterparts at first, they diverge increasingly to the point that it is difficult, often impossible, to draw direct comparisons.
