Defeated by	Dr. Ritsuko Akagi

Ireul is the Eleventh Angel, actually a collection of microscopic-sized organisms which act in concert to form a living biological computer circuit.

Battle

Ireul appears in a newly-installed piece of equipment in NERV HQ itself, from which it spreads by infecting surrounding material including the simulation Evangelion Unit bodies. The area of the base was evacuated, but Ireul spread to infect the computers in the Pribnow Box, and formed a living computer circuit. Ireul then began infiltrating NERV HQ's MAGI Supercomputer system, trying to initiate the base's self-destruct mechanism. However, a simultaneous vote by all three MAGi Supercomputers was needed to self-destruct, and Ritsuko is briefly able to halt its advance after it compromises 2 out of 3 MAGI.

Ritsuko then develops a plan to defeat Ireul: the Angel constantly evolves to overcome any threat to itself, but as a result it can be tricked into "evolving" into a dead-end, effectively programming it to kill itself. In a race to see if Ritsuko's program will work faster than Ireul's infiltration of the final MAGI supercomputer, Ritsuko's kill-program prevails and the Angel is defeated.

Notes

• Ireul was the first and only Angel to be defeated without using an Evangelion at all; Ritsuko Akagi defeated it with her self-destruct program.
