Creation

Unit-02 is the third Evangelion completed, the first "Production Model" Evangelion. Several mistakes made during the construction of Prototype Unit-00 and Test Type Unit-00 were refined in its design. The first Evangelion built specifically for combat, Eva 02 is a walking tank designed for battle against the Angels.

Purpose

Ostensibly, like all the Evangelions, Unit-02's stated purpose is to defend Tokyo-3 and the whole world from the Angel threat.

Abilities

In addition to incredible size and strength, Unit-02, like all Evangelions, possesses the ability to generate an A.T. Field. Unit-01 does not possess an S^2 organ, and relies on electrical power supplied via its Umbilical Cable, and Internal Batteries

Unit 02 possesses its own progressive knife, stored internally in its left shoulder-fin armor. This progressive armor is different from Eva 01's. Eva 01's progressive knife resembles a Bowie knife, while Eva 02's prog knife resembles a giant utility knife; it is capable of replacing the blade with a new one stored in the handle if the existing blade is damaged.

Eva 02 possesses an internal weapons rack of at least 8 missile-spikes in its right shoulder-fin, which can be fired with great force.

Soul

Unit-02's soul is that of Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu. For this reason her daughter, Asuka Langley Soryu was chosen as its pilot. Not all of Kyoko's soul was absorbed into Unit-02; 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 Unit 02, she was driven clinically insane and had to be institutionalized, profoundly affecting her young daughter Asuka.
