(Eva Series) (RYOUSANKI)The nine
Evangelion units (
Eva-05 to 13) built at the various
NERV branches. In contrast to the previous
Eva, these units are under the command of
SEELE instead of NERV. Equipped with the
S² Engine, they have an
infinite active time and thus do not need
umbilical cables. They also have collapsible
wings on their backs which allow them to
fly. In order to carry out the
Instrumentality Project, SEELE committed them to the battle against NERV, and as a group they destroyed
Eva-02.
