Evangelion Enhet 01

Evangelion Unit 01 is the immense, biomechanical Evangelion piloted by teenager Shinji Ikari, built by the secretive organization NERV to combat monstrous beings called Angels threatening humanity. It is distinguished by its purple armor and an unusually fierce, autonomous nature.

Few icons of science fiction manga carry quite the visual weight of Evangelion Enhet 01, debuting in the pages of Neon Genesis Evangelion #1 in 2004 under the hands of Yoshiyuki Sadamoto and GAINAX, published through Bonnier Carlsen in what became a compelling Modern Age run through 2007. Across ten catalog appearances, this towering presence shares its pages with some of the most memorable figures in the series — Rei Ayanami, Asuka Langley Soryu, Gendo Ikari, and others whose fates are deeply intertwined with it. Whether you're a longtime devotee or a newcomer drawn in by the legend, finding Enhet 01 on the shelf is finding the beating, monstrous heart of one of manga's most enduring sagas.
