Adam or Lilith?

I've watched all 26 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion, End of Evangelion, Death and Rebirth and both of the Rebuilds.

In all of them Adam is this:

However, I've recently been reading the Evangelion manga and I found this:

It doesn't look like a translation error because they called it "Adam" on other occasions.

Please, explain.

And in episode 15 of the anime, Misato does the same thing. She believes that it is Adam.

Kaji and Misato both thought Lilith was Adam, making us believe it was Adam, and Kaworu was the first person to correctly identify the being in Terminal Dogma as Lilith.

I am enlightened :)

It's been quite a while since I last treated my eyes with such a gift as Evangelion. Memory fail.

Sorry if this thread is an inconvenience in any way

No you didn't, in Rebuild, the thing inside this little pandora box has an entirely different shape and name.

If you don't remember, in episode 24, Kaworu comes to a realization that the being in Terminal Dogma is in fact Lilith, and this is also affirmed in End of Evangelion. Adam is best associated with two things: The Giant of Light, and The Embryo Kaji delivers to Gendo.

In Rebuild, Kaji delivers the

.

I just wrote that to compare the Evangelion animation to the Manga.

Either way, my doubt is cleared.

I never read the manga. Well, actually, I did, but it was taking so long to finish I forgot about it and threw it away because it was scaring me there hanging on my book shelf.
