Angels

Unnamed Angel

Appearance: Neon Genesis Evangelion (Sega Saturn)

Designed by Ikuto Yamashita.

Unnamed Angel

Appearance: Neon Genesis Evangelion: Second Impression (Sega Saturn)

An Angel whose design concept seems to take what Ritsuko said about Sandalphon's "chrysalis" to heart, by having the entity go through larval and pupal (chrysalis) stages before reaching adulthood ("imago"). It has no known name, although its Bandai Carddass cards refer to it as "Insubstantial Angel". Its core is contained within the body of Mayumi Yamagishi.

"Diemay Angel"

Appearance: Illustration by Yo Yoshinari from Animage 3/96

During NGE's original airing in Japan, a contest took place wherein original Angel designs were submitted to Gainax by viewers. The favored submission would appear in an original illustration by one of the Gainax artists. The results were published in the March 1996 issue of Animage, with the winner being Satou "Diemay" Daimei of Tokyo. His Angel was drawn by Yo Yoshinari in a face-off against Eva-01 in an image entitled "Eva's Final Battle" ("Eva Saishû Kessen"), with the note that the image had nothing to do with the actual ending that would eventually air.

Diemay's sketch includes the following notes:

  • Angel's height: 100 m
  • The core is on its forehead.
  • The projection on the forehead is the Angel's "Charm Point".
  • The first pair of arms contain "Deutron Rifles", which are, according to Diemay, "more powerful than the Positron Rifles of the Evas".
  • The second pair bear claws of some sort.

Iblis (イブリース)

Appearance: Neon Genesis Evangelion RPG: The Nerv White Paper

Barakijal (バラキエル)

Appearance: Neon Genesis Evangelion RPG: The Nerv White Paper

(no known image) Raziel (ラジエル)

Appearance: Neon Genesis Evangelion Proposal

A "metallic giant", and the first Angel (or "Apostolo", rather) to attack Tokyo-3 in an earlier draft of the story.

Shateiel (シャテイエル)

Appearance: Neon Genesis Evangelion Proposal

Unused Angel concept. The "Angel of Silence", an "optical combat weapon" enshrouded by a rotating, crystal-like, multifaceted plate. It absorbs and stores (electro)magnetic energy, which it can then convert and use in attacks. The converted energy is apparently released through the core-like orbs on either end of its symmetrical body.

Turel (テゥレル)

Appearance: Neon Genesis Evangelion Proposal

Unused Angel concept. "Angel of the Rock of God", a floating white "monolith" with an appearance like a face crowned by four spikes and wearing a very tall, steep miter adorned with a blue gem. It is extremely powerful, seems impervious to all attack, and steadfastly seeks out its target(s) with the aim of self-destruction.
