Neon genesis evangelion who is lilith

Lilith's design in Rebuild had undergone an overhaul as well. No longer does Lilith have its trademark seven-eyed mask, but instead has an ossified mask or faceplate similar to the face Sachiel grows after the N 2 mine attack, with two eyeholes and a small beak protruding out of the lower end of the mask. The Spear of Longinus is already impaled through its chest and the large bolts driven through its palms and into the cross remain.

However, Lilith's chest bears a large scar across it, one that resembles the scar seen on Misato's chest in the TV series in both location and appearance. In addition, a series of small cross-shaped objects are driven into its chest. Lilith's clusters of legs now twitch and sway, and it continues to trickle LCL into the lake below. Lilith's name refers to the first wife of Adam in the Jewish tradition.

According to Gustav Davidson's A Dictionary of Angels , Lilith bore Adam children every day - possibly referenced in the Lilin being greater in number than the Angels.

In Decisive Battle in Tokyo Toward the end of Neon Genesis Evangelion and through the entirety of End of Evangelion , it is revealed that Rei houses the soul of Lilith within her, much like how Kaworu Nagisa has the soul of Adam. While the fusion between Rei and the body of Adam is successful, Rei rebels against Gendo and merges with the body of Lilith, creating the being that causes the Third Impact.

In addition to the TV anime series and the End of Evangelion movie, Lilith is portrayed differently in other media in the Evangelion franchise. In the Evangelion Rebuild movies, the timeline and circumstances are different to the original anime, but also the introduction of Lilith is different. In Evangelion 1. Kaworu stands before Lilith after the Spear is removed and its legs have regrown.

The Spear of Longinus was impaled through Lilith's chest while it was restrained on the cross in Terminal Dogma, but after Eva Unit removed the Lance in Episode 23, Lilith's lower-legs grew back though its new legs still had dozens of pairs of humanoid legs growing out of them, from the region of its thighs.

Several production sketches reveal that there are actually tubes coming out of the back of Lilith's head, labeled "LCL tube A" etc. Perhaps Lilith's most distinctive feature is the purple mask which covers its face. Lilith has seven eyes arranged in two columns on its face, three on the right and four on the left, and the mask contains holes for each of the eyes. It is unknown if the eyes behind the mask are Lilith's actual eyes or rather a part of the mask.

The eyes likely disappeared when Lilith began to transform into Rei. Etched onto the mask is a pointed-downwards triangle which intersects all of the eyes except for the lowest eye on the left. It is not entirely clear if the mask is a natural part of Lilith some form of bone-plate , or if it is another artificial restraint placed onto it.

The purple mask is roughly oval shaped, and is somewhat dinged and dented. Lilith's marshmallow-like, white flesh forms several blubbery folds around its head leading to the appearance of almost having two double chins.

Lilith also has two ill-defined lumpy and uneven blobs on the sides of its head which are apparently its ears. Lilith's back, visible only when it descends from its cross moments before it physically begins to manifest as Rei which it had merged with , appears to be very bumpy where vertebrae form large blubbery lumps in a line running down its back.

Surprisingly, no LCL is flowing from an exit wound on Lilith's back. Also oddly, Lilith's palms float off the nails like putty. In Jewish folklore, Lilith was Adam's first wife, created at the same time. In some tales, she bore him children per day.
