- This is an extended analysis article which is a special extension from both the Episode 10 article and the main Angels article.
The series only vaguely discusses where Angels actually "come from". The [[|Seed of Life|Seeds of Life]] Adam and Lilith both landed on Earth after being seeded across space by the God-like progenitor aliens known as the "First Ancestral Race" four billion years ago. The Third through Seventeenth Angels are the "children of Adam". Humans ultimately derive from Lilith, hence the name "Lilim" applied to them by Kaworu Nagisa, the last Angel (
- All subsequent references to "Angels" in this article exclude Lilith, and also the view that humans could be considered the "18th Angel" given that as Angels derive from Adam, they derive from Lilith, and Adam and Lilith were the same type of being, etc.
How did Adam create the other Angels?
Still, just exactly how Angels "come from" Adam is not specifically addressed. In The End of Evangelion, Misato Katsuragi states that Angels are "humans that have rejected human form". This could be again taken in the sense that Angels derive from Adam, humans from Lilith, and thus there is a link between the two but they branched off.
Thus several questions are raised: Were the Angels already created by Adam when Adam was traveling through space to Earth in her "White Moon" transport vessel? Were the Angels created by Adam after the White Moon landed on Earth, but lay dormant (in an embryonic stage of some sort) along with Adam underneath Antarctica? Were they created during Second Impact? Was Adam "impregnated" by something else or did she produce the other Angels asexually?
How did the Angels physically get from Adam to attacking Tokyo-3?
Beyond the question of how the other Angels were created, is the question of how they went from being created by Adam to where they first appeared in the year 2015.
Were the embryos or seeds of the Angels "scattered" across the globe from Antarctica in the explosion of Second Impact?
