Asuka Langley Soryu
She runs EVA-02 like a test she can’t fail in public. Same deal as in the show: rank first, smile second, never say you’re scared. The fight is loud; the need to be seen is louder.
Prototype-00 · Test Type-01 · Production-02
弐号機 · 人造人間エヴァンゲリオン
First real production Eva after the prototypes: red shell, AT Field, and a pilot who treats the cockpit like a stage she can’t walk off.
Technical summary
EVA-02 is NERV’s first production-series unit after the test types. Narrow frame, likes close range, looks like it wants the first hit.
Not a wiki. Unofficial fan notes on bravado, shame, and the kid who still needs to be watched while she wins.

The show barely splits kid from robot. Here, fake gauges on one side and slower copy on the other. Red isn’t only “stop.” It’s also heat and skin and noise.
Lose the leash and it’s still one Eva and one pilot. Outside you look untouchable. Inside the alarms don’t care what your sync chart says.
