Its most characteristic element is undoubtedly its helmet, unique for each Eva, with its prominent horn and its 'collar', vaguely evoking that of a single horn oni. Its gorget is made up of several pieces of yellowish/orange color. The armor is predominantly purple with green stripes on the arms and details in black. This consists of two blueish large plates covering the pectorals, as well as three triangular pieces on the abdomen up to the crotch. The Unit-01 armor is a prototype model, and therefore different from the following models. Its true appearance is concealed under armor, called Type-B Gear, also serving to limit its real strength. The face also has four small nostrils and red blood. It has a mouth similar to that of a human as well as two round green eyes. Evangelion Unit-01 is, like all Evangelions, a giant artificial human (Jinzo ningen ?) with brown skin.
