Profile
Evangelion Unit-02 （エヴァンゲリオン弐号機） is the third Evangelion completed, the first Production Model Evangelion. The design of Eva-02 supposedly rectifies the mistakes made during the construction of Prototype Eva-00 and Test Type Eva-01, making it the first Evangelion built specifically for combat against the Angels.
Design Features
Eva-02 is a "Production Model" Evangelion and uses the same armor arrangement as the succeeding Eva-03 and Eva-04, along with the upgraded Eva-00. All Evangelions using this arrangement have the same shoulder pylon design and five V-shaped armor plates on their torso.
This Evangelion is unique in having bluish-purple blood, blue-gray skin, and four eyes. All other Evas possess red blood, and, for all non-Mass Production Evangelions, including Eva-00, two eyes and brown skin are the standard.
Although Eva-02 has a jaw and mouth, when armored these cannot open to the same extent as those on Eva-01, Eva-03 and 04, and so there is no hinged jaw piece in the helmet. Instead, the helmet has movable sections that can shift to cover or uncover the Eva's eyes. Four prominent nostril holes are located in the bulging forehead section of the helmet.
As a Production Model Evangelion, Eva-02 is shown to be capable of using different equipment fits, like the D-type Equipment seen in Episode 10. In addition, Eva 02 has a distinctive progressive knife, the PK-2, that resembles a box cutter. Seemingly unique to Eva-02 is a rack of spikes in its right shoulder pylon, which can be fired like missiles.
Movie Version
An altered Eva-02 design was adopted for The End of Evangelion. Although visually similar to the original design in the TV series, the new design has drastically reduced pylon size, more human-like body proportions, and a narrower, redesigned head shape. Some of these changes may have been made in order to ease the animation of Eva-02's final battle, although they sometimes add a jarring visual discontinuity with the rest of the series.
The "helmet-popping" mechanism is eliminated in the movie version. Although Eva-02 is never seen opening its jaws when the head is fully covered (despite the fact that it roars and makes other vocalizations), the jaw piece (when exposed later) visibly has "teeth" like those on Eva-01 and others.

Concept Stage
The Eva-02 seen in the Proposal is labeled "Test Type" and has two hornlike cheek extensions, in addition to the many other design differences observable at this point. The red color scheme is already present.
Operational History
Be the first editor to write something for this section!
Soul
Eva-02's soul is that of Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu. For this reason her daughter, Asuka Langley Soryu was chosen as her pilot. Not all of Kyoko's soul was absorbed; the portion of her soul containing her maternal aspects was absorbed into the Eva. As a result, while Kyoko physically survived her "contact experiment" with Eva-02, she was driven clinically insane and had to be institutionalized, profoundly affecting her young daughter Asuka.
Also, even though Kyoko physically died after going insane, the maternal component of her soul continues to survive within Eva-02. It also seems likely that the remainder was salvaged into Eva-02 following the suicide, as well: in flashbacks to Episode 22 and Episode 25, we hear the insane Kyoko begging Asuka, "Please die with me!"
In the scene in Episode 25' where Asuka finds her mother within Eva-02, Kyoko repeats, "You mustn't die! You must live! You're alive!", several times. However, the familiar "Please die with me!" is mixed in twice among her inspirational words, thus strongly implying that the insane Kyoko and the maternal Kyoko were incorporated together. See Soul Divisibility for more details of this phenomenon.
Other Continuities
Eva-02 in the Manga
Eva-02 is piloted by Kaworu Nagisa in the battle against Armisael, during which it wields the Dual Saw (a weapon that debuted in Neon Genesis Evangelion 2).
Eva-02 in Rebuild
Eva-02 will make its debut Rebuild appearance in the second film, Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance. Its pilot is the re-dubbed Asuka Langley Shikinami.
Notable alterations include the addition of a crescent-shaped piece of armor to the Eva's forehead, forming two small horns on top of its helmet. The Eva has been given more human-like proportions than its original series counterpart, similar to the End of Evangelion design and the other Evangelions in the Rebuild continuity. Alterations to the color palette include the darker shade of red, the white "waistband", white lower arms, and black pylons.
Eva-02 is depicted with a new progressive knife design and appears capable of deploying two knives simultaneously. As in the original show, it can be outfitted with additional equipment types, such as the new Aerial Recon S-Type Equipment. The S-Type resembles a jet pack and may play a key role in defeating one of the Angels.
