An N² weapon (N² 兵器, N² heiki) is a clean "Non-Nuclear weapon", the strongest "conventional" (non-Evangelion) weapon ever created by humankind. N² weapons are as strong as nuclear bombs and generate an electro-magnetic pulse, but produce no radioactive fallout, allowing them to be used more readily than their predecessors. They are capable of moderately damaging some of the weaker Angels, although even several detonations of N² weapons have no effect on others. It has been said that the N² weapons are broadly similar to a low-yield nuclear warhead, with no apparent fallout.

N² weapons come in five basic forms.

  • N² bomb (N²爆弾, bakudan)
    • Episode 19: Used on Zeruel by Eva-00. It destroys Eva-00's right arm, which was in contact with the bomb, but Zeruel is not visibly damaged at all.
    • Episode 25': Dropped onto the extension of Ashinoko where Tokyo-3 had been to open up the Geofront.
  • N² depth charge (N²爆雷, N² bakurai)
  • N² missile


N² mine detonation during episode 01.
Unit-00 carrying a N² bomb.
Unit-00 carrying a N² missile in Evangelion 2.0.
N² aerial weapon in Evangelion 2.0


Note

  • Although "N²" is always written with a superscript "2", it is not pronounced "N-squared", but simply "N-two".
