Evangelion Mark.06 (エヴァンゲリオン６号機, Evangelion Rokugouki) is an Evangelion unit that first appears in unfinished form in Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone and is sortied in the next film piloted by Kaworu Nagisa.
Profile
Mark.06 was constructed at Nerv's lunar 7th Branch, Tabgha Base. It initially appears unfinished, with its body covered in a rubbery white material[1], and a purple mask bearing the mark of Seele and two stylized "crying eyes" covering its face. The morphology of the head and neck is very similar to Lilith, although the more defined body, along with what appears to be a core visible beneath the fabric, is closer to a normal Evangelion. An IV-like device labeled "BTB" is connected to the Eva's left arm.
Later, the white cover is removed and the Eva undergoes the process of outfitting. The exposed skin on the head is dark gray. The mask remains affixed to the face, but the part over the eyes has been cut away. What looks like a temporary covering is held over the eyes as the helmet is readied for application, as though to avoid "gazing upon the face of God"[2].
During their reconnaissance to Tabgha Base, Gendo and Fuyutsuki observe that the Eva's construction process is unusual (though it isn't specified how), and that Seele has constructed it in secret to advance their own hidden agenda. Keel Lorenz refers to it as "the true Evangelion", to play a role in fulfilling the covenant with Lilith. Fuyutsuki takes this to mean that Seele "want to create a real god, not just false ones".
The final armored Eva-06 is a deep blue with yellow trim, with a horned helmet that bears a strong resemblance to Eva-01's, with the eye holes covered by a red visor. The entry plug appears to be designed to provide a noticeably higher field-of-vision for the pilot. In addition to this, the fact that the Eva can levitate and bears a halo while under pilot control hints at extremely potent capabilities.
Operational History
Eva-06 descends from the Moon along with its pilot, Kaworu Nagisa, and puts an end to Third Impact by using an unknown weapon resembling the Spear of Longinus on Eva-01.
The preview for Eva 3.0 says that Eva-06 "descends to Dogma" and shows it levitating down a large shaft, reminiscent of Kaworu descending with Eva-02 in Episode 24. This and the accompanying caption suggest that Eva-06 will attempt to reach Lilith, perhaps to initiate the "resurrection" of the giant that Seele say is required to fulfill the covenant.
Notes & References
- ↑ A note on the layout drawing (published in Evangelion 1.0 Complete Records Collection) says, "The body is wrapped in a rubber cover." (身体はゴムカバーでおおわれている。)
- ↑ That is, the effort to keep Eva-06's face covered at all times may be an allusion to the Biblical God and continuing the theme started with Lilith in the original series. According to Exodus 33: "You cannot see my [God's] face, for no one may see me and live".
