Neon Genesis Evangelion

The Third Angel Sachiel The first Angel said to have attacked in 15 years since the Second Impact. In Episode Fourteen "Seele, Throne of Souls," it is revealed that its name is the same as the angel "Sachiel" that appears in the "Bible" (later Angels are also named in the same episode). "Sachiel" is an angel of water, and similarly, the Third Angel was capable of acting under water. Angels come in various shapes, but of them, this one has a shape close to a human and even has a part towards the top of its body that looks suggestively like a human "face." Of particular note among its abilities is the AT field. This is an ability that can be seen across all Angels, and it is an absolute defensive wall that can render all existing weapons ineffective. It is so powerful that it repelled every last weapon the U.N. military used on it and left them with no other means to fight it. Even their trump card, the N2 mine, was reduced in effectiveness. It can also be surmised that it did not have any long-range attack methods when it first appeared, but it behaved singularly when it stopped a missile with the palm of its hand in tits fight with the U.N. military, and after that, it had acquired similar attack capabilities. This Angel did no have any knowledge of flying weapons, but through the experience of being attacked in this fashion, it had changed its own body in just a short amount of time. From this event, it becomes clear that Angels have the ability to learn and to amplify their own functionality. In addition, it has the ability to repair itself, and it is capable of repairing or rebuilding its damaged parts. When its "face-like thing" as damaged from the U.N. military's attacks, it regenerated a new one of the same exact thing. The weapons it is equipped with are spear-shaped weapons sheathed in its forearms and the aforementioned invisible long-range attacks. It is also capable of flying, through only for short distances. In the initial fight, it self-destructs at the end of its fight with Unit-01 but fails to destroy Unit-01. More information.

The two objects on Shinji's head when he is inside the EVA are to ease the information transfer between him and the EVA.

All Angel attacks explode in the shape of a cross. It makes a huge amount of sense when you've watched all the episodes and seen the movie.

NERV Headquarters are at Geofront, an underground city. The buildings in Tokyo-3 submerge into the ground in case of an attack.

According to Ikari Gendo, NERV was created purely to defeat the angels.

Japan is currently governed from Tokyo-2.

An N-2 mine is many times smaller in explosion radius than a nuclear bomb, but many times more powerful than a fusion/fission (hydrogen) bomb.
