The devices are always used in multiple, placed in circular formation around the individual to be contained. They revolve constantly, and in doing so probably generate a containment field of some sort. Their black and red surfaces are covered in tiles bearing rune-like symbols. Nothing has thus far been revealed about how the pillars work or regarding the nature of the symbols.

Angel-sealing hex pillars (使徒封印用呪詛柱, shito fuuin'you jusochuu)[1] are devices used in the control and suppression of Angels, Angel-contaminated individuals, and unstable Eva units.

The devices are always used in multiple, placed in circular formation around the individual to be contained. They revolve constantly, and in doing so probably generate a containment field of some sort. Their black and red surfaces are covered in tiles bearing rune-like symbols. Nothing has thus far been revealed about how the pillars work or regarding the nature of the symbols.

The pillars have been observed on the rooftop of Bethany Base, around the containment chamber of Asuka Shikinami Langley following contamination by the 9th Angel, and surrounding Evangelion Unit-01 following Near Third Impact.
