UrsusArctos: Not "just like" the Angel. The core has two smaller "nucleolae" right below it and to the left and right, and the flesh surrounding the core is a paler color than the rest of the Eva (possibly derived directly from Lilith?). How exactly these alter Eva-01's functioning or change it over having a single large core remains a mystery. Although this is a direct indication that the Evas are far closer to the Angels than previously suggested, it's also something of an "I knew it!" moment for fans paying attention to Adam's design. Adam has been depicted with a core all along, so why shouldn't an Eva created from Adam have a core under that armor as well?
