God (神, kami) is a gratuitously abused term in the NGE universe. It's hard to define, as well, since kami is both a concept unique to Shintoism and the Japanese translation of the Western term "G/god", which is something wildly different.

  • "Are humans something created by a god (kami-sama)? Are humans something created by humans?" - Rei, E15
  • 'Eva-01's the living embodiment of a god now, that's no good! We have no intention of reifying a god!' - Seele, E21
  • "The Path to God, which no one has ever achieved..." - Gendo, E21
  • "Humans found a god (kami-sama), and, in their joy, tried to make her theirs." - Ritsuko, E23
  • 'Gendo Ikari wants to attain the power of a god' - Seele, E24'
  • "...join humans, G/god(s), and all living things in 'death'" - Seele, E25'
  • "Eva-01 has become something kinda like a god" - Fuyutsuki, E26'

It also shows up in the Classified Information a ludicrous number of times. Its usages can be noted here, as well.
