N² weapons (N² 兵器, N² heiki) or N² Bomb) is a clean "Non-Nuclear weapon", the strongest "conventional" (non-Evangelion) weapon ever created by humankind. N² weapons are as strong as nuclear bombs and generate an electro-magnetic pulse, but produce no radioactive fallout, allowing them to be used more readily than their predecessors. They are capable of moderately damaging some of the weaker Angels, although even several detonations of N² weapons have no effect on others.
N² weapons come in four basic forms.
- N² bomb (N²爆弾, bakudan)
- Episode 19: Used on Zeruel by Eva-00. It destroys Eva-00's right arm, which was in contact with the bomb, but Zeruel is not visibly damaged at all.
- Episode 25': Dropped onto the extension of Ashinoko where Tokyo-3 had been to open up the Geofront.
- N² depth charge (N²爆雷, N² bakurai)
- Episode 09: Used on Israfel Alpha and Beta to temporarily incapacitate them.
- N² land mine (N²地雷, N² jirai)
- Episode 01: Set in Sachiel's path to temporarily halt its advance.
- N² aerial weapon (N²航空兵器, N² koukuu heiki)
- Episode 12: Used on Sahaquiel multiple times, to no effect.
Note
- Although "N²" is always written with a superscript "2", it is not pronounced "N-squared", but simply "N-two".
