First Sortie Episode 08


Creation

Eva-02 is the third Evangelion completed, the first "Production Model" Evangelion. The design of Eva-02 supposedly rectifies the mistakes made during the construction of Prototype Eva-00 and Test Type Eva-01, making it the first Evangelion built specifically for combat against the Angels.

Abilities

In addition to incredible size and strength, Eva-02, like all Evangelions, possesses the ability to generate an A.T. Field. Eva-02 does not possess an [[S2 organ]], and relies on electrical power supplied via her Umbilical Cable and internal batteries.

Eva-02 possesses her own progressive knife, stored internally in her left shoulder pylon. This progressive knife is different in design from Eva-01's; Eva-01's progressive knife resembles a Bowie knife, while Eva 02's prog knife resembles a giant utility knife. Eva-02's knife is also capable of replacing the blade with a new one stored in the handle if the existing blade is damaged. Another of Eva-02's weapons is a rack of spikes in her right shoulder pylon, which can be fired like missiles.

Physical Features

Eva-02 is a "Production Model" Evangelion and uses the same armor arrangement as the succeeding Eva-03 and Eva-04, and the repaired Eva-00. All Evangelions using this arrangement use the same pylon design and have five V-shaped armor plates on their torso.

This Evangelion unit is unique in having four eyes and bluish-purple blood, instead of the two eyes possessed by all other non-Mass Production Evangelions (the two-eyes rule includes Eva-00, whose eyes are never seen), and the standard red blood of all other Evas.

Although Eva-02 has a jaw and mouth, when armored these cannot open to the same extent as those on Eva-01, Eva-03 and 04, and so there is no hinged jawpiece in the helmet. Instead, the helmet has movable sections that can shift to cover or uncover the Eva's eyes. Four prominent nostril holes are located in a bulging section of helmet on the forehead.

Soul

Eva-02's soul is that of Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu. For this reason her daughter, Asuka Langley Soryu was chosen as her pilot. Not all of Kyoko's soul was absorbed; the portion of her soul containing her maternal aspects was absorbed into the Eva. As a result, while Kyoko physically survived her "contact experiment" with Eva-02, she was driven clinically insane and had to be institutionalized, profoundly affecting her young daughter Asuka.

Also, even though Kyoko physically died after going insane, the maternal component of her soul continues to survive within Eva-02. It also seems likely that the remainder was salvaged into Eva-02 following the suicide, as well: in flashbacks to Episode 22 and Episode 25, we hear the insane Kyoko begging Asuka, "Please die with me!"

In the scene in Episode 25' where Asuka finds her mother within Eva-02, Kyoko repeats, "You mustn't die! You must live! You're alive!", several times. However, the familiar "Please die with me!" is mixed in twice among her inspirational words, thus strongly implying that the insane Kyoko and the maternal Kyoko were incorporated together.*
