So much has happened since I came here. Before this, I lived with my teacher. It was calm and boring in those days. I wasn’t really doing anything, but I was fine with that. There was really nothing I had to do.

I mustn't run away!

No I can’t! I’ve never even seen anything like this before! There’s no way I can do this!

~ Shinji upon being asked to pilot the EVA
“
You betrayed me! You betrayed the trust I placed in you! You betrayed me just like my father did

I can handle it! I'll show you how it's done, Asuka! You're the one who said it, Ms. Misato. I'm number one. After all, fighting is a man's job!

~ Shinji's confidence rising before his battle against Leliel
“
I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could
live for no one else
But now through all the hurt & pain
It's time for me to respect
the ones you love
mean more than anything
So with sadness in my heart
(I) feel the best thing I could do
is end it all
and leave forever
what's done is done it feels so bad
what once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
my world is ending
I wish that I could turn back time
cause' now the guilt is all mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love & pride
because of that, it's killing me inside
It all returns to nothing, it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
In my heart of hearts
I know that I could never love again
I've lost everything
everything
everything that matters to me, matters in this world
I wish that I could turn back time
cuz now the guilt is all mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love & pride
because of that, it's killing me inside
It all returns to nothing, it just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
It all returns to nothing, it just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down

“
Shinji: Then why don't you try being nice to me. Rei, Asuka, and Misato: We are nice to you! Shinji: Liars! You're just hiding behind those smiles but you intentionally keep things ambiguous
„
“
This... is an empty space. A world that's empty. Devoid of everything except me. I'm starting to become indistinct. I feel myself disappearing... The being that is me is fading away. I'm alone...
„
“
What's this sensation? I think I've felt it before. Like the lines of my body are melting away. It feels nice... It's like I'm getting bigger, spreading out. Forever... and ever...
„
“
You yourself are also capable of changing. Because what gives you shape is your own heart and the world around you. After all, this is your world. This is the shape of reality as perceived by you. That is reality.
„
“
I get it, this is another possible world. A possibility that's inside me. The me that I am now isn't the entirety of what I am. Different versions of me might exist. Oh, right! There could even be a me that isn't an Eva pilot! ...The real world might not be so bad. But I do hate myself. ...But... doesn't everybody hate me? But I really do hate myself. I'm a sneak. And a coward. And dishonest. And a weakling. I hate who I am. But maybe I can learn to like myself one day! Maybe it's okay for me to be here! Right... The only person I can be is me. I'm me. I want to be myself! I want to be here! It's okay for me to be here!

The Angels' Fruit of Life and man's Fruit of Knowledge... Having obtained both, Eva Unit 01 has become a being equivalent to God. And it is now reverting to the Tree of Life, the proto-embryo.

„
~ Kozo Fuyutsuki upon seeing the spear of Longinus fusing with Eva 01
Shinji Ikari is the Third Child, the main protagonist of the series and the designated pilot of Evangelion Unit-01. He is the son of "deceased" Gehirn bioengineer Yui Ikari and NERV Commander (Formerly Chief of Gehirn) Gendo Ikari. After his mother's death, he was abandoned by his father and lived for 11 years with his sensei, until he was summoned to Tokyo-3 to pilot Unit-01 against the Angels. He lives initially just with Misato Katsuragi; they are later joined by Asuka Langley Soryu.
Shinji initially shows a passive and laid-back personality, inheriting such traits from his relaxed life with his sensei. When he is told to pilot Unit-01, he denies, not wanting to do it. Though Shinji denies it, he yearns for praise, and he eventually begins to pilot Unit-01 to gain the approval and love from his father. He also continually tells himself "I mustn't run away!", further demonstrating his need to move forward and let go of the past.
Shinji shows a great fear of emotional pain and of being hated or left behind, likely due to his perception of being abandoned in his youth and, subsequently, blaming himself for not being good enough to make his father stick around. In general, Shinji is shown to be introverted and disconnected from physical reality due to having little to no meaningful contact with others. In social party situations, he is shown to be quite uncomfortable, and he often has difficulty controlling his emotions around others due to his hard time letting go of the past. He is shown to the extreme of this, forsaking many lives (even his own) to save one person.
Due to Shinji's high nostalgia and fragile emotional state, he chooses to shut out the world, as evidenced by the headphones he wears rather often, plugged into an SDAT music player. He usually plays tracks 25 ("You Are the Only One") and 26 ("Blue Legend"), though in episodes 02 and 23, the songs are varied to different background music and vocals.
This dropdown contains the synopsis of Shinji's story throughout the main continuity of NGE. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Around the age of three, Shinji lost his mother to the Unit-01 Contact Experiment. As he witnessed this event, he was subjected to considerable trauma that had lingering effects upon him.
First appearing in Episode 1, Shinji Ikari, aged 14, is summoned to Tokyo-3 by his father, Gendo Ikari to pilot Evangelion Unit-01. After initially refusing, Gendo calls for the heavily injured, stretcher bound backup pilot, Rei Ayanami. Suddenly, an earthquake knocks Rei out of her stretcher and Shinji rushes to her aid. After lifting her off the ground, Shinji looks to his hand which had been covered with Rei's blood. Realizing he both literally and metaphorically has her blood on his hands, he reluctantly agrees to become the pilot of the Evangelion.
Shinji enters the Evangelion and is lifted to the surface where he comes face to face with the angel, Sachiel. At first, Shinji is able to take a few steps, but he very quickly trips. The Evangelion is picked up by the angel and takes mutiple direct blows to the head before Shinji passes out, waking up in the NERV infermary some time later with no recollection of the events which took place. It is later revealed that after passing out, Unit-01 went Berserk, acting without the pilots control, and defeated the angel. After Shinji recovers from his first fight, Misato Katsuragi takes to live with her rather than letting him live on his own.
Several weeks later, Shinji begins to attend school, where he meets Tōji, Kensuke, and Hikari. When it is discovered that Shinji is the pilot of Eva Unit-01, Tōji beats him up, in retaliation for his little sister being injured in the Angel battle. Shortly thereafter, Shamshel attacks, and Shinji pilots Unit-01 once again. However, before defeating the Angel, Shinji's battle puts two of his classmates in serious danger. Because of this, Shinji spends several days wandering the town, until he sees Kensuke and spends the night with him. The next day, agents from NERV come and take Shinji back to NERV HQ. After being reprimanded by Misato, Shinji overcomes his own weakness, stays with NERV, and goes back to live with Misato.
Later, at NERV HQ, Shinji sees Rei happily chatting with Gendo, who has burns on his hands. After asking Ritsuko about them, she describes an incident where Gendo put his hands on scalding metal to save Rei, to which Shinji is skeptical. Shinji begins to eye Rei, though he brushes it off as curiosity about why she is always alone. Soon thereafter, Ritsuko has Shinji return Rei's ID card to her; Shinji accidentally walks in on Rei as she is getting dressed, and clumsily knocks her to the floor, touching her naked body. A bit shook up, Shinji follows Rei to NERV, returns her ID card, and asks her about his father; when he tells her that he has no faith in Gendo, she slaps him.
With Rei still unable to enter battle, Ramiel approaches, and Gendo sorties Unit-01 with Shinji as the pilot. Shinji is immediately hit by one of Ramiel's attacks and is forced into retreat by Misato. As Shinji wakes up and begins to recover from his injuries, he helps defeat Ramiel with a positron beam. During the battle, Shinji's first shot fails to destroy Ramiel. When Ramiel fights back, Rei, in Unit-00, steps between them, taking heavy damage. Shinji then destroys Ramiel with another blast. Shinji quickly escapes Unit-01, and opens Unit-00's hatch, burning his hands as Gendo did in the past, to see Rei. He expresses a deep sadness for her but tells her to smile nonetheless.
We soon learn that Shinji is embarrassed by Misato and her unhealthy lifestyle. After she visits his school, however, a new robotic unit called Jet Alone appears in a demonstration but goes out of control. Shinji must use Unit-01 to get Misato into Jet Alone so she can shut down its reactor. Then, after Tōji and Kensuke point out that Misato's personality is only shown to Shinji because she considers him family, he happily accepts her.
In Episode 08, Asuka makes her series debut and immediately regards Shinji as "dull". Despite this, Asuka displays an interest in Shinji (after learning of his innate ability to synch with Unit-01); as Gaghiel attacks, she seizes her chance to impress Shinji, and tells him to get into the cockpit of Evangelion Unit-02 with her. Eventually, as the two cooperate, they can open Gaghiel's mouth underwater, and the armada of Navy ships present are able to destroy it.
As the Angel Israfel arrives, Shinji and Asuka are both deployed in their Evas to destroy it. After Asuka hits it and divides it in two, it revives as two separate Angels, which defeat both Evas; Shinji and Asuka proceed to argue about whose fault it was. Kaji and Misato devise a plan to take down the Angel after it heals and returns in a few days time; however, the plan requires the cooperation of both Evangelion units. Shinji and Asuka, during their next several days living together, undergo numerous tests and training exercises to synchronize themselves to better attack Israfel. When the battle day comes, the two defeat Israfel seamlessly through a synchronized dance routine.
Shinji and Asuka hang out at a pool after their friends go on a field trip, where Shinji is having trouble with schoolwork. Showing off a bit, Asuka solves his problem with relative ease, then compares his topic of thermal expansion to that of her breasts, much to Shinji's embarrassment. Meanwhile, Sandalphon has been active in a nearby volcano, and Asuka takes the call. Trying to show off to Shinji, she takes a dive into the volcano, where she loses her Eva's knife, but eventually encounters the Angel. Shinji throws his knife to Asuka, and after a short struggle, Asuka defeats Sandalphon. A few days later, the power to NERV HQ goes out, and Shinji, Asuka, and Rei must make their way to NERV together in order to defeat the Angel Matarael. Though they come into conflict many times, they are all able to deploy their Evas and defeat Matarael before it can attack NERV HQ.
In Episode 12, it is discovered that Shinji is rapidly increasing his synch rate with his Eva, much to Asuka's dismay. As Sahaquiel approaches in the fashion of a meteor destined for NERV HQ, Misato hatches a plan in which Shinji, Asuka, and Rei must all cooperate to stop the Angel by catching it with their A.T. Fields at maximum. As it nears the ground, Shinji is the first to get under it. He struggles to last long enough for Rei to expose the core for Asuka to destroy, killing Sahaquiel. Later, Shinji does a test in Evangelion Unit-00, but when the nerve connections go bad, the Eva goes Berserk just as it had previously, though Shinji escapes virtually unharmed.
Shinji is next seen visiting his mother's grave with Gendo, who reveals that there is nobody there, nor does he have any pictures of Yui. Though Shinji attempts to make a connection with Gendo, the latter dismisses him completely. Shinji returns home and begins playing the cello, with which Asuka notes he has great talent. He says he started playing at age five, and still plays now and again because, "No one told [him] to stop." She then says she's bored and wants to practice kissing and though Shinji is nervous, they share a kiss, though Asuka is upset by his lack of emotion.
During Episode 16, Shinji's synch test gives the highest results among his, Rei's and Asuka's, an event that inspires confidence in him. Due to this and the arrival of the unusual 12th Angel, Shinji ventures to face it alone, resulting in Unit-01 being captured in the Angel's shadow, trapping him in a Sea of Dirac. As the Eva's life support starts to turn off, Shinji begins to lose hope, and the Angel tries to communicate with him, talking about the psychology and understanding of others, and revives the memories of his abandonment, alongside his imperfections. However, once the life support cuts out entirely, Unit-01 goes Berserk, and frees itself from the Angel's grasp, killing it in a shower of blood.
Soon after, Unit-04 vanishes, and Unit-03 is transferred to Japan. Shinji and Asuka are left at the care of Kaji while Misato goes to supervise the test activation of Unit-03. During the night, Shinji asks Kaji about Gendo, thinking he has started to understand his father, to which Kaji replies he just believes he understands.
Following the failed activation test of Unit-03, and its abandonment and re-classification as the 13th Angel, Shinji is sortied to defeat it alongside Rei and Asuka. Even after Rei and Asuka are dispatched by the unit, Shinji still shows reluctance to fight it, claiming that he'd rather die than kill the pilot inside. Seeing this, Gendo cuts the synchronization between Shinji and Unit-01, giving control of the Eva to the Dummy Plug that proceeds to slaughter the Angel. When Shinji finds out that the pilot was Tōji, he refuses to abandon the Eva, claiming he will destroy half of NERV HQ in pure revenge against his father. With Shinji unable to reason, Gendo orders the technicians to raise the LCL pressure to force him out of his rampage. As a result, Shinji is taken to Gendo, and abandons NERV and his duties as an Eva pilot, right as the 14th Angel starts its assault, destroying the Geofront defense and defeating Unit-02 and Unit-00 without difficulties. As Shinji hides in a nearby shelter, he sees the disembodied head of Unit-02 crash against the building, then hurries outside, only to witness the devastation caused by the Angel. He encounters Kaji watering his garden, and he explains to Shinji that while that is all he can do, Shinji can do much more, and convinces him to pilot Unit-01 once more. Shinji engages the Angel as it is about to destroy Central Dogma, and guides it outside before the Eva runs out of energy.
Zeruel mercilessly proceeds to try and destroy Unit-01 core. However, the Eva reactivates and goes Berserk, easily overpowering the Angel, and proceeding to devour its S² Engine into itself. After the incident, Shinji was absorbed inside the Eva's core, which caused him to go through a series of mental journeys that guided him to realize he pilots the Eva to receive the kindness of others, and remembers that he saw Unit-01 years before his arrival at Tokyo-3. On the outside, Misato and Ritsuko try to salvage Shinji's soul back to his body, but the experiment goes awry, and Shinji initially decides not to come back. However, after recognizing the scent of the Eva as his mother's, Shinji finally comes back through the core of the Eva.
In Episode 23, when Armisael attacks and Asuka is too mentally fragile to control her Eva, Shinji is launched to attack it. As he touches it, however, it fuses with his hands, and forces him to see hundreds of Rei faces telling him, "it hurts." Through this, the real Rei discovers that her desire is to be with Shinji, and contains the Angel and self-destructs, killing both Armisael and herself. Shinji is devastated, though he soon arrives at the hospital to see Rei, alive. Shortly after, Ritsuko shows Misato and Shinji the Eva graveyard, as well as the many clones of Rei.
After being too scared to go home, Shinji finds himself at the edge of a crater at the beginning of Episode 24, where he meets Kaworu Nagisa, sitting amongst the wreckage from the battle with Armisael. Since Shinji is desperate for any sort of affection, they quickly connect. After Shinji returns to NERV, he, Kaworu, and Rei undergo synch tests, after which Shinji is greeted by Kaworu while loitering at NERV's HQ, seemingly reluctant to return home. Kaworu accompanies Shinji to a NERV public bathing room and, at one point, Kaworu places his hand on Shinji's, who doesn't react. Kaworu also declares that Shinji deserves to be treated well, and that he likes him. When their bath is done, Shinji tells Kaworu that he needs to go to bed, to which Kaworu is confused and asks if they will go together. Shinji is quick to decline the offer, though he does spend the night at Kaworu's apartment, sleeping on the floor beside his bed, as he is afraid to go home.
The next day, Kaworu is identified as the 17th Angel as he descends into Terminal Dogma. Shinji is placed into Unit-01 and pursues Kaworu, who manipulates Unit-02 to slow down Shinji. After Kaworu activates the door and enters, he appears to reach an understanding that the giant crucified there is not in fact Adam, but rather Lilith, and after Shinji defeats Unit-02, he allows Shinji to grasp him in Unit-01's hand. Shinji is hurt that Kaworu betrayed him, "just like his father did," and lied to him about his identity after befriending him. However, Kaworu tells Shinji that his life is complete and had more meaning after meeting him, and requests to be killed, claiming that the only freedom there is, is to choose how one dies. Following a prolonged period of silence, Shinji grants his request.
Episodes 25 and 26 have Shinji feeling lost and hopeless after killing Kaworu, who he saw as human, as Shinji again feels alone and that nobody cares about him. Tormented by guilt, he falls into despair and begs for others to help him. Much of the TV ending is devoted to Shinji being taught by the other characters about the ability of individuals to make their own destiny by reshaping their viewpoint. At the end of their discourse, Shinji comes to terms with his self-loathing and how much it distorts his perception of reality. Finally, he learns that he has value as an individual, and accepts his own will to live. In Episode 26', Shinji chooses to reject Instrumentality for individual existence, even though it will mean running the risk of experiencing more pain. Shinji eventually learns that he needs other people to exist in order to experience happiness; and realizes that he wants real feelings of his own even if it means once again exposing himself to betrayal and pain. Despite their differences, both endings suggest that buried deep within Shinji, is the capacity for redemption and change.
Evangelion Unit-01 (初号機[?], "Shogōki") is the first non-prototype Evangelion unit, and is referred to as the "Test Type". It houses the soul of Shinji's mother, Yui Ikari. It is the only EVA to be born from Lilith. Following its going berserker and eating of Zeruel's S² Engine, it was the only Evangelion able to go without an umbilical cable until the construction of the Mass Production Evangelions.

Classification: Human (or "Lilin", spawn of Lilith, as they are called in the EVA universe), Eva Pilot, 18th Angel | Evangelion, Angel, Soul
Status:Alive (In spite of the near-death experiences he had encountered throughout the course of the original series, Shinji has managed to survive and continue on with living)
Alignment:Neutral Good (TBA) | Chaotic Good (Unlike the original run, End of Evangelion depicts Shinji's character in a darker, more obscene light that's completely absent anywhere else. Devastated after having to kill Kaworu Nagisa, an angel whom Shinji quickly bonded with in his time of need, Shinji begins to spiral down into a deep depression that soon develops into self-loathing and nihilism. In the beginning of the movie, Shinji visits Asuka in the hospital out of an act of desperation due to having no one else to go to
at the time, pleading for her to help him, but soon finds himself in a spot in which there was no return from. This, combined with his trauma, further weakens his already frail mind, thus, he shuts himself off from all the hurt and pain and wishes to spend his time alone in his own mind, wanting to do nothing else, not even shedding an ounce of care when a gun was put up to his head. This regression of character inadvertently got Misato killed, who tried to get him to pilot the EVA once more to settle the score with SEELE and to save Asuka from the Mass Production Evangelion Units)
Tier:10-B by himself, 6-C piloting Evangelion Unit-01, far higher while in Berserk Mode. At least High 6-A upon obtaining the S² Engine, higher with Synchronization level and Preparation | 10-B by himself, Low 5-B piloting Evangelion Unit-01, 2-C via Reality Warping
Durability:Human level by himself, Island level piloting Evangelion Unit-01 (Survived Israfel's self-destruction. Should be comparable to Sachiel, who survived an N2 Mine Explosion), far higher in Berserk Mode, At least Multi-Continent level upon obtaining the S² Engine, higher with Synchronization level | Human level by himself, Small Planet level piloting Evangelion Unit-01 (It took Lilith-Rei's main body to break down Shinji's A.T. Field, which required a bit of time to accomplish), higher with Synchronization level
Striking Strength:Human Class by himself, Island Class piloting Evangelion Unit-01, far higher in Berserk Mode, At least Multi-Continent Class upon obtaining the S² Engine | Human Class, Small Planet Class piloting Evangelion Unit-01
Travel Speed:Normal Human by himself, Supersonic piloting Evangelion Unit-01 (Shown here), far higher in Berserk Mode | Normal Human by himself, FTL piloting Evangelion Unit-01 (The EVA, now under the complete control of the spirit of Shinji's mother, was capable of traveling from Earth to far away into deep space, even farther than the sun, near the end of the film within a short time frame, presumably to travel across the universe to serve as an eternal symbol of humanity’s existence.[1]Should be superior to Adam and Lilith, who are able to travel from the Milky Way Galaxy to Earth)
Attack Speed:Normal Human by himself, Relativistic piloting Evangelion Unit-01 (Comparable to his reaction speed), far higher in Berserk Mode | Normal Human by himself, FTL piloting Evangelion Unit-01
Stamina:Average Human by himself. Limitless with the Umbilical Cable and via the S² Engine, otherwise Below Average without it (The EVA can only remain active for about 5 minutes without its umbilical cable, though EVA-01 can reactivate by itself by going into a berserk state. Later down the series, this weakness is no longer an issue as EVA-01 consumed an Angel's S² Engine, granting it limitless energy at no cost)
Vehicular Mastery and Weapon Usage (Despite being a rookie, his skills as a pilot have grown exponentially through the course of the series, to the point where he was able to execute complex maneuvers to annihilate angels with quick succession. Has shown proficiencyin using several firearms and melee weapons, and was properly trained by NERV[2]), Genius Intelligence (As the chosen 3rd child, and the son of a brilliant scientist, Shinji boast great prowess in handling angles in spite of his insecurity and inexperience, additionally seems to pick up new subjects rather easily. Was capable of working with Asuka in perfect sync after training for several days), Sheer Will & Pain Tolerance (In order to fully utilize the EVAs, pilots must conduct a series of synchronization to form the required mental bridge to activate and control their units. A frequently used measure of this connection is the sync rate, generally shown as waves the sync rate measures how connected the pilot and Evangelion unit are. The higher the rate is, the better the pilot is able to control the unit allowing for a higher combat potential. This mental bridge doesn't just control the unit, it also ties the physical bodies of the pilot and Evangelion together which poses some risks to the pilot. Any damage sustained by the unit will be felt by the pilot with the amount of pain felt tied to the sync ratio. Normally, this pain is just mental however at extremely high levels of synchronization it is possible for the pilot to sustain physical injuries as well. In most cases, Shinji has displayed a normal to above average sync-ratio and has pushed hard in battles in spite of enduring intense physical pain that would normally kill anyone by shock. Shinji is typically shown as mentally unprepared and cowardly, however, in the first episode, Shinji was able to get in the EVA despite his burning hatred for his father and synchronized with it displaying phenomenal results even knowing he might die trying to protect humanity. By the end of the series, Shinji went through a series of deep mental self-reflection, wherein he initially felt incredibly depressed, and hated himself, almost denying his own existence. Later, through the encouragement and support of his friends, he found the strength to love himself and reject the human instrumentality project), Human Achievements (Shinji was able to become one of the best EVA pilots in NERV in a very short time frame. He is also able to play the Cello really well and is a competent chief), Limited Passive Forcefield Creation, LimitedBody Control, and Observation (Type 2) through A.T. Fields (As stated by Kaworu, every living being with a soul possesses an A.T. Field, which are (in the cases for humans) non-physical protective barriers that is said to be the "light of the soul" that, while not powerful enough not to be physically manifested like they are for the EVAs/Angels, provides a vital function: Bounding the ego and sense of self of a person from everyone else, allowing them to exist as an individual. Without an A.T. Field, it becomes almost impossible for souls to define their own existences without substantial conscious effort, causing the physical body of the soul to degenerate into pure LCL. Quoting Classified Information, "people are people because they think of themselves as people"), Fusionism and Matter Manipulation (Shinji was able to fuse his soul with EVA Unit 01 and share the same mind. This also caused him to turn his body into pure LCL while in said fusion), Acrobatics & Martial Arts (While training with Asuka in order to fight better as a team, Shinji learned how to do complex moves such as doing complicated flips in the air. Trained in combat by NERV HQ to be able to fend off Angels), Accelerated Development (Shinji became one of the best pilots in the entirety of NERV in a very short amount of time while everyone else was trained for multiple years. He is also able to understand and execute very complicated tasks far faster than anyone else would at his age), Regeneration (High; Reformed himself after having been reduced to a quantum state. Mid-Godly after obtaining the power of God; Regenerated after reducing and returning humanity to the void of nothingness, completely erasing the totality of their being as their physical self, mind, soul, and the very idea of their being were affected as a result of 3rd Impact. Additionally, after Shinji had rejected instrumentality, humanity was granted the ability to reform themselves so long as they are able to envision their own image), Statistics Amplification/Self-Statistics Reduction (Synch Ratio determines the overall performance of a pilot during combat, with a high enough ratio displaying phenomenal results as the pilot has a much greater control over their EVA, allowing them to overpower their enemies and become extremely agile as shown with Asuka's fight against the Mass Production EVAs. However, should the pilots show any signs of internal conflicts within their minds, their synch ratio will decrease and thus their combat performance will regress exponentially. At 0% synch ratio, their EVAs would not be capable of starting up), Telepathy and Extrasensory Perception (Shinji is able to share a mental link with EVA Unit 01 in which he can communicate with it and improve Synchronization levels. Should scale to Asuka, who is a pilot that discovered that her EVA contained the soul of her late mother, which greatly improved her power), Immortality and Longevity (Types 1 and 8. After piloting an EVA, the user's soul will remain for an eternity, long after both humanity and the sun dies out. As long as the soul in EVA Unit 01 exists, Shinji will be able to come back), G-Force Adaptation (Shinji is able to to operate in an EVA perfectly fine while it is going at very high speeds), Self-Sustenance (Type 1. While piloting the EVA, Shinji's lungs are filled with LCL to allow his blood to be oxygenated,which grants him the ability to be out into space without suffering any consequences), Extrasensory Perception & Non-Standard Interaction (Capable of seeing and interacting with the soul of his deceased mother. Shown to be able to see a mirage, incorporeal form of Rei from the first episode)
Resistance to Heat Manipulation (Shinji is able to survive in LCL for a very long time without being boiled alive. This LCL is hot enough to melt and distort glass and plastic. It was also able to super heat a metal door so much that it burned Gendo Ikari upon touching it. Can withstand the heat and intense pressure of being submerged deep within a volcano while inside the EVA[3]), Absorption (While in a fight against the Angel named Leliel, Shinji and his EVA was taken into its body and was thought to be fully absorbed by said angel. However, Shinji and his EVA were able to resist and brake out of the Angel's body, even though there was a contamination inside of EVA Unit-01), Trauma (Capable of withstanding all the battle damage he sustains while piloting the EVA, which includes having his arms broken, losing limbs, suffering cranial damage, multiple stab wounds, blown up, strangled, etc and is capable of fending off his enemies just fine in spite of this), Mind Manipulation, Transmutation, and Soul Manipulation (A.T. Fields are non-physical barriers possessed by every living being with a soul that's described as "the light of the soul" in which it bounds the ego and sense of self of a person from everyone else, allowing them to exist as an individual. Without an A.T. Field, it becomes almost impossible for souls to define their own existences without substantial conscious effort, causing the physical body of the soul to degenerate into pure LCL. In Kaworu's words, it is "a sacred territory in which no one may intrude. Merely that wall that encloses every mind that exists")
All previous abilities but enhanced, Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Self-Sustenance (Types 1 and 3), Inorganic Physiology, Large Size (Type 2. EVA Unit 1 is around the same size as a sky scrapper), Enhanced Senses, Information Analysis, Weapon Mastery, ForcefieldNegation and Non-Standard Interaction (Can tear apart A.T. Fields), Immortality (Types 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8. The EVA has been stated to exist for an eternity, even long after humanity and the sun dies out. Angels transcend the concept of life and death. Can survive its head being impaled, its just Yui's soul. All EVAs are able to regenerate from large portions of their body getting destroyed. This regeneration get better whenever the user is angry or displays strong emotions. All EVAs are able to keep fighting, even after getting shot in the head, receiving a enormous damage to their chest and/or head, and having their brains exposed. The EVA will continue to exist as long as the soul of the pilot's soul or the original soul exists), Regeneration (Low-Godly, possibly Mid-Godly, reforms from its A.T. Field and Yui's soul, angels regenerate their A.T. Fields after it's destroyed), RegenerationNegation (Up to Low-Godly, possibly Mid-Godly, can stop angels from regenerating),Radiation Manipulation, Light Manipulation and Energy Manipulation (Via the Positron Rifle), Vibration Manipulation, Matter Manipulation, and Durability Negation (via the Progressive Knife, which can vibrate at an extremely high frequency, increasing its cutting sharpness to the point that it can cut through the target at a molecular level. It is strong enough to pierce an Angel's core with little trouble), Berserk Mode, Corrosion Inducement and Rage Power (Shinji can lose control and become berserk, becoming substantially more powerful. While greatly enraged, Shinji is able to take off the restrictions of the EVA to greatly increase its power. The EVA is able to completely negate stronger A.T. Fields in a few punches and can use his AT in order to corrode his opponent's body), Energy Manipulation (Regained power after the power supply was completely empty by going berserk), Biological Manipulation (Shown here), Forcefield Creation (With its A.T. Field, EVA Unit 01 is able to create a very large force field that can protect him from physical, mind, and soul based damage. The user is able to create multiple layers of said fields that can block attacks that are more powerful than the user), Attack Reflection, Dimension Manipulation & Spatial Manipulation (A.T. Fields are described as near invulnerable barriers, supposedly being related to extra-dimensional space, that are impervious to physical attacks that doesn't exert physical force per se, but rather warps normal three-dimensional space that serves to[4]deflect attacks. Additionally, A.T. Fields can be multi layered for added protection), Pain Tolerance (Every EVA user and their EVA is synced by their nerves. The better synchronization the two have, the more pain is felt when attacked. Shinji and EVA Unit 01 are able to keep fighting after being shot in the head and dismembered, where as a normal person would die from the shock), Acrobatics (EVA Unit 01 is able to do complicated dance techniques while in combat in order to dodge attacks. The EVA is also able to do very complicated flips extremely high in the air in order to do high kicks), Quantum Manipulation (A person's A.T. Field shapes a person's being and their appearances. Without this, the person and EVA will lose its form and turn into LCL. After the death of Lilith, any human who resists human instrumentality can create their bodies back from their LCL state. This is shown when Shinji and Asuka were able to shape their bodies back at the end of the series after rejecting human instrumentality), Sound Manipulation (EVA Unit 01 is able to scream so loud that it shortly incapacitates everyone in the area for a short amount of time), Spatial Manipulation and Null ExistenceNegation (EVA Unit 01 is able to interact with and kill the Angel, Leliel's body, which exists as an imaginary form of space in a different dimension), Absorption and Dimensional Travel (Anything that touches EVA Unit 01 that is not the original user will be absorbed into the EVA. EVA Unit 01 was also able to absorb Shinji's soul, body, and mind into it's body in order to amplify the user. This also allowed Shinji and the EVA to escape from a pocket dimension into the real world), Telepathy (The EVA is able to share a mental link with the user in order to strengthen synchronization levels immensely), Statistics Amplification and Body Control (Was capable of drastically increasing his travel speed to reach up to a descending Sahaquiel. An EVA pilots synchronization rate can impact their performance in combat significantly; if the user has good emotions or is feeling confident in themselves, the EVA's power will greatly increase and the user will be able to better control the EVA's body. This is shown when Asuka got an enormous boost in confidence after discovering that her EVA contained the soul of her mother, increasing the power over her EVA and grasping a better control over it overall), Telekinesis (After witnessing Asuka Langley Soryu's death, Shinji was able to pull the Spear of Longinus from the moon over to his location), Energy Manipulation and Flight (Shinji was able to create large wings made out of energy in order to fly high into the air and confront the Mass Production Evangelions), Weather Manipulation and Shock-Wave Generation (While enraged, Shinji was able to create a huge storm that covered the entire city after Asuka Langley Sohryu was eaten alive), Cyborgization (EVA's are enhanced by technology and are the fusion of a living being, a dead person's soul, and NERV technology), Consumption (EVA Unit 01 is able to eat Angels or other living beings in order to regenerate their bodies and become stronger), Power Suppression (EVA Unit 01's power is suppressed by NERV gear in order to keep it from going into it's Berserker state), Explosion Manipulation (When Shinji enters EVA Unit 01 in the end of the series, he creates a massive explosion before coming out of NERV HQ), Adaptation (Angels are capable of adapting to their environment, with Larval Angels shown to reach an adult state seconds after hatching)
Resistance to Magma Manipulation and Extreme Temperatures (Saved Asuka by sinking into an erupting volcano), G-Force Adaptation (Shinji is able to to operate in an EVA perfectly fine while it is going at very high speeds), Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation (Shinji and EVA Unit 01 passively generate an A.T. Field that shields the user from damage to the soul, body, and mind. The stronger the emotions of the user, the better protection they will have from the A.T. Field. This effect is greatly amplified while inside of EVA unit 01), Absorption (While in a fight against the Angel named Leliel, Shinji and his EVA was taken into its body and was thought to be fully absorbed by said angel. However, Shinji and his EVA were able to resist and brake out of the Angel's body, even though there was a contamination inside of EVA Unit 01)
All previous abilities but enhanced, Life Manipulation (Scales to Lilith and Adam who created all life), Death Manipulation (While Shinji wished for everyone to die deep in his sub-conscious, it caused everyone on earth to die and become LCL), Perspective Manipulation, Subjective Reality and Observation (Type 2. While fused with Lilith, Shinji was able to create a world based on his sub-conscious win which he can freely control. When he turned all of humanity into LCL during Human Instrumentality, he wished for a world where only he existed and nobody else. After realizing that this wasn't what he truly wanted, Shinji rejected Human Instrumentality and created a world where everyone could recreate their human bodies. Shinji and an awakened EVA Unit 01 was able to create a new world in which everyone but Shinji and Rei were dead. He then created a new world in which everyone had normal lives and in this world, EVAs did not exist. After this, Shinji created a world in which anyone could reject Human Instrumentality and come back to their own bodies), Personal Domain and Passive Law Manipulation (During Human Instrumentality, Shinji created a world that he fully controls. He made it to where only he can exist in said world until he ultimately changed his mind and let humanity live once again), Intangibility (Shinji is fused with Lilith, who was able to completely phase through the entire planet earth while she formed), Immortality (Types 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The EVA has been stated to exist for an eternity, even long after humanity and the sun dies out. Angels transcend the concept of life and death. Can survive its head being impaled, its just Yui's soul. All EVAs are able to regenerate from large portions of their body getting destroyed. This regeneration get better whenever the user is angry or displays strong emotions. All EVAs are able to keep fighting, even after getting shot in the head, receiving a enormous damage to their chest and/or head, and having their brains exposed. The EVA will continue to exist as long as the soul of the pilot's soul or the original soul exists. While fused with Adam and Lilith, Shinji is able to replace his body with other bodies from different timelines. This is due to Kaworu Nagisa being able to replace his body with other bodies from different timelines once he has died), Regeneration (Low-Godly, possibly Mid-Godly, reforms from its A.T. Field and Yui's soul, angels regenerate their A.T. Fields after it's destroyed), RegenerationNegation (Up to Low-Godly, possibly Mid-Godly, can stop angels from regenerating), Passive Power Nullification (Shinji was able to destroy every A.T. Field on the planet earth in order to turn everyone into LCL. A.T. Fields are able to guard a user from mind and soul based attacks while being able to shield them physically), BFR, Absorption and Soul Manipulation (Shinji and Lilith were able to absorb everyone's souls and use them to create the world of LCL, which contained the lives of everyone on earth. Doing this, he was able to fuse everyone's mind, body, and soul into one being), Omnipresence (Type 2. Rei Ayanami stated that Shinji existed both everywhere and nowhere in the universe that he created), Nothingness Manipulation & Existence Erasure (Type 4. The Human Instrumentality Projectrevolves around returning humanity to the void of nothingness, with that exact notion being repeated numerous times throughout the series, with the narration making note of this as well[5], along with the bitter sweet depressing song that accompanies 3rd Impact representing the entire scene during the End of Evangelion, noting how it all returns to nothing. In that exact scene, humanity dissolves into LCL after having their A.T. Fields completely neutralized, their ego in other words, the shape or idea that forms their existence, which then leads to having all their bodies, minds, and souls extracted into theChamber of Guf, where Shinji had wished for everything to end so that nothing else exists[6], creating his alternate reality that in itself is devoid of everythingas Shinji begins to feel himself disappear), Summoning and Avatar Creation (While fused with Adam and Lilith, Shinji was able to make clones of himself and Rei Ayanami in order to turn the entire world into LCL), Transmutation, Matter Manipulation, and Biological Manipulation (Shinji, Rei, and Adam were able to turn the entire world into LCL in order to complete Human Instrumentality. They are also able to create avatars of themselves by turning people or angles into Rei forcefully. LCL is described as being made of the same material as the primordial soup, which was the building block of life on earth), Shapeshifting (Shinji, Lilith, and Adam are able to turn their bodies into other people. Rei used this in order to comfort a NERV agent before they turned into LCL), Extrasensory Perception (Shinji is able to see and sense the soul of his mother and the souls of the other residents of Earth), Fusionism (Shinji was able to fuse with the Spear of Longinus in order to gain it's power to create a new world. He was also able to fuse with Adam and Lilith in order to complete Human Instrumentality and create a new world), Passive Statistics Amplification and Reactive Power Level (When fusing with the Spear of Longinus, Shinji's synchronization rate raised to the point that it reached an infinite number. A better synchronization rate with an EVA will make it become much stronger and help the user control the EVA much better), Power Nullification and RegenerationNegation (Shinji has access the Spear of Longinus, which completely negates a person's abilities and stops their regeneration completely), Null Existence (Type 3. Rei Ayanami stated that Shinji existed both everywhere and nowhere in the universe that he created with his sub-conscious), Fear Manipulation (Shinji and Lilith are able to create clones which make anyone who sees them incapacitated by fear, even when they turn into beings that the person recognizes), Abstract Existence and Conceptual Manipulation (Type 4, possibly Type 1. Lilith represents Shinji's desires and wishes to create a new world where he exists by himself. Shinji is able manipulate his and everyone's Ego, which is the very idea of one's being and it shapes who the person his entirely), Incorporeality (Lilith represents the hope of humanity and Shinji's desires and wishes. She appears as an apparition, which doesn't have a true physical body to interact with)
Resistance to Gravity Manipulation, Biological Manipulation & Cosmic Radiations
Plugsuit 01: Form-fitting full body suits resembling a diver's wet suit, worn by Eva pilots together with their Interface Headsets in order to increase their synchronization with the Evangelions. The legs and half the torso are in the standard blue color for the male plug suits, while the top is white. Although helpful, plugsuits do not appear to be essential to pilot an Eva, as there have a few occasions when Shinji piloted without one. It is stated, however, that a plugsuit increases the pilot's synchronization ratio by cutting down on interference.
Interface Headset: A small device, worn when piloting an Evangelion unit.
Evangelion Unit-01: Evangelion Unit-01 (エヴァンゲリオン初号機[?], "Evangerion Shogōki") is the first non-prototype Evangelion unit, and is referred to as the "EVA-01 TEST TYPE". It houses the soul of Shinji's mother, Yui Ikari. It is mainly piloted by Shinji Ikari. Unit-01 serves as the flagship model for the series.
Unit-01 Progressive Knife Lineart
The Progressive Knife destroyed Shamshel's core after several second of contact
Progressive Knife: A combat knife contained inside the left shoulder pylon of an Evangelion who uses it, and is one of the Evas' basic weapons. The blade of the knife vibrates at an extremely high frequency, increasing its cutting sharpness to the point that it can cut through the target at a molecular level. It is strong enough to pierce an Angel's core with little trouble. Unit-01's Progressive Knife is in the form of a simple Bowie knife.
Pallet Rifle: Sometimes alternatively called Pallet Gun, it is the standard-issue rifle used by Evangelion units. It resembles a Steyr ACR. This giant automatic rifle is proportionately sized to match the Evas, so an Eva can wield the rifle just as a human would use a conventional assault rifle.
Handgun: Resembles a Desert Eagle Mark XIX. Used by Unit-01 against Leliel in Episode 16, but was ineffective due to the Angel's non-physical nature.
Positron Sniper Rifle: An upgraded, modified, or Eva-specific version of the prototype, originally requisitioned from the JSSDF's R&D labs, where it was known as the SDF's Automated Positron Rifle.
B-Type Equipment: The standard Evangelion armor. It is unsuited for use in combat underwater, or in extreme conditions.
F-Type Equipment [Airborne Warfare]: It is the equipment used to transport the Evangelion units.
Umbilical Cable: The electrical power cables used to link Evangelions in the field to external power supplies in Tokyo-3. The connectors attaching to the rear of an Evangelion are visually similar to a three-point plug. Two large holes in the connector allow a retro-rocket to slow its descent and prevent damage when it is discarded. Tokyo-3 has a multitude of power buildings that house connectors and cable for an Evangelion to switch to a new cable, in case the old cable has reached its maximum length or been severed.
Internal Batteries: Functions as an emergency power pack in cases where the Umbilical Cable would be impractical to use, or if it has been disconnected/severed. The batteries are mentioned in-show to provide power for five minutes, or one minute at full power. Battery supplies can be extended without the umbilical cable, using large disposable batteries located on the Eva's shoulder pylons. These provide an unspecified extra operating time and are used in the battles against Israfel and Matarael.
S² Engine: An S² (Super Solenoid) Engine (S²機関, S² Kikan), also referred to as an S² Organ, is an organ located within the core of an Angel which grants it a limitless source of energy. Evangelions are not born with S² Engines, and are thus (normally) dependent upon energy supplied via a power cable or an internal battery.
The cruel angel's thesis will soon take flight through the window, with surging hot pathos, if you betray your memories. Embracing this universe and shining, young boy, become a legend!

Spear of Longinus: An extraterrestrial artifact with the power to penetrate any Absolute Terror Field and immobilize beings of god-like power. Merged with the core of Unit-01 during Third Impact, creating the Tree of Life.
Tree of Life: A term from the Hebrew's system of exegesis, named Kabbalah , to describe a diagram composed of 10 Numbers and 22 Letters. The ten Numbers are the ten utterances of God in the first chapter of Genesis (בראשית) in which He wrought the universe, with the 22 letters of the Hebrew alefbet interpolated between these Numbers. During Third Impact, after the Mass Production Evangelions crucify Unit-01, they form an inverted Tree of Life around Unit-01 by resonating their A.T. Fields.
Fruit of Life: Considered an alternate term for "S² Engine", and exists in contrast with Fruit of Knowledge. According to Fuyutsuki, Unit-01 had attained power equal to that of a god's upon acquiring both Fruits. The Fruit of Life is a reference to Tree of Life of Genesis, the fruit of which was said to bestow immortal life.
Fruit of Knowledge: As opposed to the Fruit of Life which the Angels possess, is the Fruit which the Lilim possess. During episode 12 Gendo Ikari states that "science is the power of man", possibly suggesting that the Fruit of Knowledge is man's ability to cogitate, using his knowledge of the universe to build the Evangelions, which Kozo Fuyutsuki says mankind was destined to build during End of Evangelion.
Standard Tactic: Shinji will pilot his Eva whilst having his A.T. Field deployed to provide for both offense and defense and will await any orders that NERV instructs prior. In combat, he'll have his weapons out such as the Pallet Rifle or the Progressive Knife for close quarter combat. If he is defeated in battle, runs out of power, or just finds himself in a desperate situation, it's more than likely that his Eva will go Berserk to answer his calling, and in this state, Shinji is not conscious while the Eva is bloodlusted and will show no mercy to her enemies | Overwhelmed by his depression, Shinji will unintentionally trigger 3rd Impact and will have fused with Lilith, wherein his Anti A.T. Field is activated to complete Human Instrumentality. He'll have control over his own reality and decide the fate of the world.
Weaknesses: Mentally unprepared for fighting in some cases, though doesn't hinder his capabilities in battle as much; however, his pacifistic nature interferes when combating against humans and would rather much perish than to take a human life. Overall, Shinji is avoidant of others. An Eva pilot feels everything their Evangelion feels when synchronized with the Eva, experiencing the pain of injuries the Eva sustains. It appears that if an Evangelion is severely damaged enough (even if the Entry Plug containing the pilot is not directly damaged itself), the pilot can indeed die from physical shock. And at an abnormally high synchronization ratio, it appears that pilots will really suffer injuries an Eva suffers. Unit-01 can be easily separated from its Umbilical Cord and only has 5 minutes of internal battery (can somewhat be remedied with extra battery packs). Many of the pilot's function can be overridden by NERV command center. It's uncontrollably destructive while Berserk | Shinji possesses an extremely weak mind and ego at this point of the series, to the point where he wished for death not only to himself, but for everyone. Though, through Human Instrumentality, he was able to overcome this and find love once more
