Neon Genesis Evangelion Eva Unit 01 Berserk. Posted by 4 days ago. Evangelion unit 01 初号機 shogōki is the first non prototype evangelion unit and is referred to as the test type.
Neon genesis evangelion used the berserk button trope to great extents as a plot device. Unit 00 has two incidents in episodes 05 and 14 both occurring when a pilot attempts to synchronize with it during the activation test with rei ayanami the entry plug is auto ejected apparently by the eva itself and unit 00 continues to move undeterred until its power runs out. Evangelion 1 0 has eva 01 go berserk in the battle with sachiel identical to the incident in the original series although the incident with the falling lights does not occur in 1 0.
Raw footage of my favorite moment from the series.
An eva pilot under intense duress or furiously angered can produce a state in the eva called the berserk mode in which the resident soul of the evangelion itself assumes operational control. Please try again later. Unlike the tv series both misato and ritsuko seem to know of the berserk state. More posts from the evangelion community.
