KAJI (OFF):“Yes, this is the origin and linchpin of
everything since the Second Impact.
This is Adam.”
MISATO (OFF):“Adam? The First Angel is here?”
UrsusArctos: It's still a matter of debate whether Kaji deliberately lied to Misato about Lilith's identity, or if he genuinely thought (at this point, anyway) that Gendo had grown the embryo he delivered in Episode 08 into a giant. Either way, there are enough red herrings in place to deceive first-time watchers about which Angel they're looking at.
