Model Type	Provisional Unit
Pilot(s)	?Mari

First Sortie	Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance

Evangelion Unit-05 (エヴァンゲリオン５号機, Evangerion Gogouki) is a new Evangelion unit to be introduced in Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance. Eva-05 is first unveiled in the preview for 2.0 at the end of Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone and appears at least twice in 2.0's first theatrical trailer.

Eva-05 is described as a provisional Eva unit with limited applications and is said to guard a "seal". Images available thus far suggest that the arms are (at least largely) mechanical, with a "mantis"-like structure supporting two giant, lance-like objects. (These seem to be launchable weapons, as seen here.) The forehead of the yellow-visored helmet possesses a prominent conical projection. There is a tall projection of unknown function directly behind the head.

Eva-05's "unique" arms

The theatrical trailer for Eva 2.0 depicts a(n apparently) female figure in a plugsuit, wearing a large helmet with "EVANGELION-05" written across the visor. (Low-quality image.) The helmet and the presence of attached tubing suggests that there may be something unusual about the control scheme for Eva-05. Although the character's face is concealed, it is presumably Mari.
