Angel Abilities

Postby BEsERk EVA01 » Mon Nov 05, 2007 6:10 am

So, if Angels really wanted to reach Lilith right? *I know, not All angels wanted the same objective* Why couldn't they be born with more weapons? For example, Shamshel, wtf, she only had 2 tentacles, what the hell does that do? I mean, she didn't look like the type who would probe humans (Armisael etc). Besides, they should've been equipped with much more weapons that would fulfill their role much more effectively. If Shamshel wasn't a prober, she wouldn't just have those two weapons, she should have an array if weapons that would suit everything she would encounter!

Opinions?

You should keep in mind that NGE is a work of fiction, so all the elements (characters, Angels, technology, etc) are written to serve the story, not the other way 'round. The Angels aren't designed to be invincible because their role is to show up one by one and get their ass kicked, basically...

To have their asses kicked in all manner of inventive ways possible, that is. Angel that sucks things in like a black hole? No problem, the Eva goes berserk and rips it open! Giant angel with a drill that no one can get near? Get a huge-ass positron rifle and get rid of it! Microscopic angel infiltrates without any prior warning? Reprogram it to die out! Parasite angle takes over an Eva? Rip the thing apart! Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!

the two laser arms on Shamshel were affective enough
like Dr. Evil would say "ITS GOT FREAKIN' LASERS ON ITS FREAKIN' ARMS!!!"
those lasers sliced through a building like it was nothing, and penetrated Unit-01 easily
i say, if given a better chance, the Shamshel would have done a pretty good job

We all know that Adam spawned Shamshel just so the other Angels and the Lilum could make phallic jokes...

Jokes aside, all creation is flawed. By that reasoning, if the Lilum were supposed to initiate 3I, then humans should be able to manifest their own AT Fields and contain the Evangelions to the point of complete and utter submission, or be able to defeat the Angels on their own.

OT: Yay! I'm a Sachiel now!

On Topic: It's probably just a literary device though...if all the Shito were as impossibly strong as Zeruel, even Yui-sama wouldn't be enough...

agreed, thats just like asking "what would Iruel do if he did make the Magi self-destruct?"

"how the hell was Matariel gonna do anything if it was given the chance?"

*Shrug* It would be interesting if the Angels could harness Telekinesis, and another human character with more supernatural powers...

That actually is one of their powers you know. Kaworu displayed it quite nicely. Basicly the only limit on their powers is their imagination.
Oh, but God forbid any of these theories have any validity! After all, we are just brainwashing innocent people with Reichu's fanclub propaganda!--Trigger's Elysium sarcasm for the masses!

In the original 24 as well, it is never directly stated, but it's implied that she can float as well as erode Kaworu's ATF. And how else could she get up there?

Frog blast the vent core! No wait...what vent?

BTW, that would do well in the "Evangelion Story" thread.

Cough, cough...back ot...Shamshel's cutting abilities would rival Zeruel's easily.

Zeruel was pretty damn invulnerable as well...nothing that Zerogouki or Nigouki tried worked on him. I'm assuming his AT-Field is the 3rd strongest, after Tabris and then Ramiel.

But he can take heart, knowing he did his part in making sure that Third Impact happened...I mean, what if Yui-sama had lost power while inside the Tree of Life?
