The Twelfth Angel, Leliel, is probably the strangest of all. Its form is a floating ball striped black and white of 680 meters in diameter, which is actually a shadow, and a black circle of 3 nanometers thick on the ground, his real body (initially the characters confuse their "shadow" with your body and vice versa). Has an inverted AT field, which allows it to absorb anything in his real body, which is a Sea of Dirac, which could lead to another universe. Its nucleus is visible only in your body when it is defeated, where is that instead of a sphere is a flat circle.
Leliel appeared in midair directly over Tokyo-3, and the three EVAs were launched against him. Shinji, in Unit 01, shot the ball, he faded away before being caught. Immediately, a shadow appeared under the feet of Shinji, absorbing both the EVA as a substantial part of Tokyo-3. Unit 01 was isolated from all communication.
When NERV understood the nature of the Angel, he decided to kill him thrown against the remaining 992 N ² bomb while Units 00 and 02 neutralized AT field, despite the possibility of losing Shinji in the process. Inside the Angel, Shinji felt a kind of self-psychoanalysis, which he interpreted as an attempt SEELE Angel to make contact with a human.Just before the bombs drop on Leliel N ², Unit 01, supposedly because without battery, went berserk mode, and escaped the Angel ripping the ball from inside, destroying his body flat. The sphere let go while blood spurts.
Although Leliel was not actively hostile, but rather remained stationary in one place, it had an enormous threat and that can absorb matter within its Dirac Sea did not need to rely on brute force to break through the Geo- front but, with sufficient time, could easily be engulfed in its shadow.
Leliel means Jaws of God reference to their ability to consume anything. It gets its name from the Angel of the Night (夜の Yoru no Tenshi .)
- Unit 01 Angel was trapped inside for at least 16 hours, the ceiling of the EVA battery at minimum power. The LCL in the entry plug looked cloudy and dirty near the end of this period.
- This incident marks the first time that the soul of Yui Ikari was expressed in the unit 01.
- Leliel not appear in the manga of Evangelion.
- Leliel is also known as the "Angel of the Night" when the unit 01 wakes up killing the Angel show that it begins to dawn, ie ... the end of the night.
- Leliel is skipped in the chronology of the movie Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance.
