Summary[]
Sachiel is the Third Angel, and the first to appear 15 years after the Second Impact. While making his way to the Terminal Dogma, he is nuked with an N2 Mine launched by the JSSDF, which succeeds in destroying 18% of his biomass, but ultimately futile as the Angel quickly regenerated from the damage and grew a new mask on his face.
Upon arriving to Tokyo-3, he encounters the inexperienced Shinji Ikari piloting Eva Unit-01, which he quickly brutalised by his long forearms. This however. triggers the Eva to go berserk, allowing it to gain the upper hand on the hand, which made Sachiel resort to self-destructing, from which Unit-01 emerges from with minimal damage.
Powers and Abilities[]
Tier: 7-A, High 7-A with A.T. Field
Name: Sachiel, The Third Angel, The Third Apostle (In supplementary material)
Origin: Evangelion
Age: 15 (Sachiel's soul was deposited into a physical body by Adam immediately after the events of "Second Impact" on 13th September 2000)
Gender: Unknown
Classification: Angel/Apostle, Child of Adam
Powers and Abilities: Angel Physiology (Humanoid), Large Size (Type 1 - Comparable in size to Eva Unit-01), Pseudo-Flight (Sachiel is shown using his A.T. Field to lift himself off of the ground), Body Control (Capable of projecting Spears of Light from his forearms. Can increase the musculature of his arms, and wrap around his opponents like a ball)
Attack Potency: Mountain level (Broke Unit-01's arm and later managed to punch through its head), Large Mountain level with A.T. Field (A.T. Fields can be used offensively to bypass those of others)
Speed: Superhuman movement with FTL combat speed, attack speed and reactions (Managed to react to a Berserk Unit-01, and even blitzed them with the optic blasts, who is superior to Base Unit-01, who was able to react to Israfel's optic blasts)
Lifting Strength: Class M (Sachiel can casually lift an Evangelion Unit above its own height).
Striking Strength: Mountain level
Durability: Mountain level. Large Mountain level with A.T. Field (Withstood a direct N2 mine detonation)
Stamina: Infinite (S² Engines provide limitless motive energy)
Range: Tens of Meters via sheer size, Hundreds of Meters with optic blasts, Tens of Kilometers with the "Cruciform Explosions".
Standard Equipment: Nothing notable.
Intelligence: Sachiel is not portrayed as having particularly exceptional intelligence among the Angels, using brute force and energy-attacks in order to breach "Tokyo-3". However, it does seem to not operate entirely on pure instinct: it appears to show a morbid curiosity for the futility of the JSSDF's assault on occasion, even taking out individual targets and prolonging the useless defense. At the same time, prior to the "N² Weapon" explosion, The "Angel of Water" also appeared to avoid combat situations as much as possible, attempting to flee from the JSSDF forces multiple times. It also demonstrates adaptability when it evolves its body and develops a second face, along with a new technique, following the "N² Weapon" explosion. Angels are stated in supplementary material to be capable of learning.
Weaknesses: Sachiel has a particularly slow regenerative process: just 18% of lost biomass requires several hours to recover. The "core" of an Angel, once breached, means the absolute certainty of death for the Angel involved.
Notable Attacks/Techniques
(S² = Super Solenoid Engine; also known as the "Fruit of Life"): An elusive double-helical organ, traditionally possessed by only Adam and its progeny, the Angels. This "engine" organ is responsible for the perpetual energy supply that the Angels can utilize, along with the vast majority of their exotic physiological powers (including levitation, regeneration and energy-projection). Appears to be the key to inverting "A.T. Fields" and projecting an "Anti A.T. Field" also, as well as accessing the "Dirac sea"
- A.T. Field: The intangible light of the soul in the physical world, A.T. Fields are possessed by all living beings on NGE-Earth and are one of the major aspects of the human psyche that defines someone as "individual" and "protect" them from the intrusion of another's feelings. However, the Evangelion Units and the Angels are unique in the ability to generate A.T. Fields that are corporeal and occasionally visible to the naked eye, possibly due to large amounts of innate energy contained in their souls. Their ".T. Fields mostly function as a physical defence: a forcefield consisting of concentric octagonal yellow lines. The barrier is almost perfect, only being temporarily disrupted from its active state by incredibly energetic weapons or erosion by another corporeal A.T. Field that is superior in strength. If left alone after initial disruption, the A.T. Field will revive its durability almost instantly as long as the user is still alive, making it a regenerative barrier. The transition from a dormant A.T. Field to an active Field is indicated by a slight atmospheric blurring.
- Cruciform Explosion: After the formation of the second face following the "N² Weapon" explosion, Sachiel obtains the ability to project a gigantic pillar of cross-shaped energy, either in the traditional "vertical" position or, unique to the "Third Angel", horizontally across the ground. These blasts of energy are fired from Sachiel's eyes. This attack towers above the surrounding landscape, reaching hundreds of meters at least in height and has the destructive capacity to wipe out entire city blocks at once, as well as piercing through 22 layers of plate armour to reach the Geofront.
- Regeneration: Sachiel possesses the ability to recover or revive lost portions of its body. It demonstrates this when it comes into contact with a "N² Weapon" detonation, even using the opportunity to create a second mask. However, sufficient power can heavily suppress the speed of the regeneration: the aforementioned "N² Weapon" incident took several hours to recuperate from (though the reactive evolution may have contributed to the slow rate) and a berserk Eva-01 was simply too strong and quick for Sachiel to gain its bearings long enough to initiate the process at all.
Reactive Evolution: Sachiel seemingly possesses the ability to adapt its body to extreme environments or incidents: following the detonation of the N² Mine explosion, Sachiel reconfigures its physical structure to accommodate a second face and allow it to survive under extreme heat conditions, and also developed the ability to project enormous pillars of crucifix-shaped energy from the second face's eye sockets.
Body Alteration: Sachiel also shows that it has an extremely flexible body shape and it can alter the physical structure for additional combat aid: to increase physical strength both to catch a particularly large JSSDF missile and later against the berserk Eva-01, Sachiel dramatically enhances the musculature in its arms). It can also reshape itself to have a whip-like consistency, and even wrap around its opponents like a ball.
- Hikari no Yari (Lances of Light): Sachiel can extend a red "lance" from each of its forearms and energize the barbs to increase destructive capacity. They can be extended for over a hundred meters, and easily pierce the metallic restraints around an Evangelion Unit.
- Self-Destruction: As a final resort (in the danger, or the occurrence, of its core being shattered), Sachiel can initiate a self-destruct ability, transmuting its body into an enormous "Cruciform Explosion", attempting to envelop its opponents and kill them along with itself.[1]
