Appearance(s)	{{{appearances}}}
Defeated by	Evangelion Unit-00

Armisael is the Sixteenth Angel, a floating ring of light, shaped like a double-helix which unravels into a single glowing thread of light which lashes out at enemies. Armisael's primary means of attack is to physically try to merge with Evangelions upon coming into contact with them. Armisael can easily pierce through an Eva's AT Field.

Battle

Armisael suddenly appeared hovering in the air on the outskirts of Tokyo-3. Eva 00 was launched to investigate it, but the Angel appeared dormant. Just as Eva 00 was about to withdraw so the Angel could be observed more, it transformed from its ring-shape into its thread-shaped combat form, pierced Eva 00's core with one of its thread's "ends", and began merging with Eva 00. Eva 00 shot the body of Armisael several times, but this did not stop it.

The mind of Armisael itself then contacted the mind of Rei, and engaged in a brief conversation remarking on their mutual loneliness. Eva 02 was launched, but failed to even start because Asuka's synchronization level had falled below critical lows. In desperation, the order freezing the use of Eva 01 was suspended, but as soon as Eva 01 was launched Armisael tried to merge with it as well, with Eva 01 narrowly avoiding it.

Fearful for Shinji's survival, Rei set her AT Field to maximum to draw Armisael to herself and try to contain it temporarily, and then activated Eva 00's self-destruct. This resulted in a massive explosion that destroyed Armisael, but also destroyed a large portion of Tokyo-3 as well, resulting in the creationg of a new artificial lake.

Notes

• In the "Director's Cut" version, the fight against Armisael is expanded:
  • Armisael tries to merge with Eva 01 and Shinji is able to catch its "end" in his hands before it can reach Eva 01's core, but it then begins to merge with his hands, resulting in images of Rei popping up out of them.
  • Eva 01 stabs Armisael with its progressive knife, creating a shower of blood, but it then howls in pain like Rei because she is now bonded to it.
  • When the "end" of Armisael attacks Eva 01, it forms into a glowing white version of Rei which caresses Eva 01's face, and Rei realizes that her innermost desire is to be with Shinji.
  • A giant growth appears out of Eva 00's back, composed of parts of all of the previous Angels
  • In the instant before Eva 00 self-destructs, Eva 00 transforms into a glowing-white giant nude Eva-sized image of Rei, but explodes before anything else can happen.
