Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angels

The Angels (使徒 Shito?) are fictional beings that appear in the anime and manga Neon Genesis Evangelion. They serve as the series' antagonists, attacking Tokyo-3 throughout the story.

Though they all have very different forms and abilities, Angels are often depicted with several common elements, such as the ability to project AT fields and an internal power source called an S² engine, the destruction of which is often the only way an Angel can be exterminated. Even though they are composed of an altogether different form of matter ("characterized by both particulate and wave properties, like light"), the Angels' genetic code bears a 99.89% similarity to that of humans.[27]

The first two Angels, Adam and Lilith, are the progenitors of the other sixteen.[28] While the first fifteen Angels are descendants of Adam, humans themselves descended from Lilith. Using the Biblical story of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the Angels are described as having eaten the "Fruit of Life", giving them immortality.[29] At another point, it is stated that the Angels are merely different evolutionary paths that mankind could have taken.

While the original Japanese word used in the series to refer to the Angels is shito (使徒?, apostle or disciple), as opposed to the typical translation of "angel" as tenshi (天使?, messenger of heaven), the English translation was one specified by Gainax. The word "angel" itself is derived from the Greek for "messenger" (ἄγγελος, angelos), which is also the source of the word "Evangelion".
