![]() ![]() ↑ No reason is provided, although numerous speculations exist.↑ While never stated directly, the location of the S² Engine is strongly intimated in Episode 05 during Shamshel's autopsy, and careful observation shows that Unit-01 is targeting Zeruel's core while "taking the S² Engine into itself".However, because their engines remained intact, the units were able to reactivate and completely destroy Unit-02. During their battle, Unit-02 seamingly manages to destroy all the mass production units. The End of Evangelion ĭuring the invasion of NERV Headquarters by the JSSDF arranged for by SEELE, the nine completed mass production Evangelion, each outfitted with a fully operational artificial S² engine, are dispatched to stop Evangelion Unit-02. The S² Engine is said to be the only thing (aside from, presumably, a soul) required to "complete" an Eva and bring it to a level of existence equal to Adam's. According to SEELE, this acquisition makes Unit-01 an "absolute being" and the living embodiment of a god. Ī berserk Unit-01 is eventually able to obtain an S² Engine from the Angel Zeruel by physically devouring the organ and assimilating it as its own. ĭespite the loss of the restored organ, the research data is preserved in Germany, and progress towards completion of the Mass Production Evangelion outfitted with artificial S² Engines continues. After the S² Engine is restored, NERV's Second Branch in Nevada undertakes an experiment to install it into Unit-04, which results in the disappearance of the Eva, related facilities, and everything and everyone else within an 49-kilometer radius, swallowed by a Sea of Dirac. ![]() Incidentally, written with different kanji, 器官, " kikan" does mean "organ", providing a bit of wordplay that doesn't translate into English.Ī mostly-intact S² Engine is obtained from the corpse of Shamshel and sent to Germany for further study by the Third Branch's Energy Analysis Unit. It appears consistent with the show's tendency to disguise the inherently biological with terms of mechanical connotation. ![]() Why the name "engine" was applied to what is unarguably a flesh-and-blood organ is never stated. Katsuragi's death the S² Engine would eventually be perfected and produced in secret by SEELE for use with the Mass Production Evangelion. He had intended to create an actual device ("S² Engine") based on the principles established with his theory and verified with Adam's power source, but this never came to be. While not born with them, Evangelion can make use of S² Engines, freeing them from the need for their internal batteries or umbilical cables. Its pilot is unknown as it becomes berserk soon after the beginning of the test of the unit. 'Unit Null') is an Evangelion appearing in the Evangelion: Another Impact (Confidential) short.
