The neutrality and accuracy of the article is disputed. " The story presented to the public was just a cover-up." The Evangelions' task is to protect mankind by defeating Adam's children, in accordance with both Gendo Ikari's and Seele's plans. It is assumed that the Angels' intention is to cause Third Impact and reclaim Earth from Lilith's children ( Homo sapiens). Adam’s last child, Tabris, is the result of an experiment in which Lilin genes fused into Adam.Īdam's children began appearing around Tokyo-3 fifteen years after Second Impact, starting with the 3rd Angel, Sachiel. The first thirteen are Adam’s natural offspring (upon whom this article will focus).

In the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series, Adam's children encompass the Third through Seventeenth Angels (manga: Third through Twelfth). Adam's ChildrenĪdam’s children (アダムの子供達, Adamu no kodomotachi) refers to the Angels originated from the Seed of Life Adam. Īt one point in the show's production, the term "Apostolo" was going to be used as a counterpart to "shito" instead of "Angel.". The "Angel" designation is clearly seen in the show's opening and at various times within the show itself, and the word "Angel" was retained in the English version of the show at the request of the show's Japanese creators. The characters in NGE are actually calling the Angels "shito," which means "apostle," while the Japanese word normally used for the western concept of Angel is "tenshi." However, this isn't a translation mistake on the part of NGE's U.S. Please discuss this issue, or begin editing the page. Please help improve this article or section by expanding it.

(On a perhaps related note, Rei muses, "What is a human? A creation of God? Is man a human creation?") "Angels," then-which we know to refer to both Seeds of Life and their progeny-could be thought of as "messengers" for their "God(s)." The "message" to be disseminated is humanity itself. are stated to be esteemed as gods by Adam's children and the Lilin. Consider also that both "angel" and "apostle" (the literal meaning of Angel's Japanese equivalent, shito) inherently mean "messenger." Furthermore, the F.A.R. This species, the prototypical humans of NGE, produced the Seeds of Life in order to propagate new lifeforms on distant worlds, into which the F.A.R.'s souls would be reincarnated.
One possibility is that "Angel" actually refers to all beings whose origin is ultimately traceable to the First Ancestral Race. Evangelion plays a similar game with terms related to humanity ( hito, ningen, and jinrui). This conflict between the heavily-reinforced concept of "Angel" (god-like beings antithetical to human life) and the more inclusive version rightfully raises the question of what an Angel is actually intended to be. However, considering Seele's list of designated "Angels" in full, it includes entities as disparate as the Seeds of Life (1st: Adam and 2nd: Lilith ), the natural progeny of Adam (3rd~16th), the human-shaped vessel of Adam's soul (17th: Kaworu Nagisa), and Homo sapiens itself (18th: Lilin). Adam itself, the designated "First Angel," is occasionally included with its offspring when speaking of Angels collectively.
