The Moon (月, Tsuki) is Earth's sole natural satellite.
It was formed as a result of the First or Giant Impact. After the Black Moon crashed into Earth, debris from both the Black Moon's outer layer, or carrier, and from the Earth was thrown into orbit where it eventually coalesced into the Moon.[1]
In NGE Rei is repeatedly associated with the Moon in order to emphasize her connection with Lilith, who originally arrived on the Moon.[2]
In Evangelion New Theatrical Edition
The Moon plays an expanded role in the New Theatrical Edition continuity.
Mare Tranquilitatis is the site of Nerv's 7th Branch(Tabgha_Base) and its provisional excavation base. A giant humanoid, which superficially resembles Lilith due to the purple mask and the white material covering its body, is being kept here, along with Kaworu Nagisa and several mysterious coffin-like objects. A large red streak of unknown constitution is also present, aligned with the excavation in which the Moon Giant reclines.
In Evangelion 2.0, the Moon Giant is being outfitted with an Evangelion armor and serves as the base for the creation of Evangelion_Mark.06, piloted by Kaworu at the end of the movie to stop the ongoing Near Third Impact.
