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.

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. 4 Angels in Rebuild (New Theatrical Edition)Īs most commonly used in the show and elsewhere, the word "Angel" refers to any of Adam's fifteen children, whom Nerv must systematically destroy over the course of the story.
