This is a glossary of terms from the [[anime]] ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''.

{{spoiler}}

==Equipment==

=== Entry Plug ===
Pilots control their Evangelion from within their "Entry Plugs", which are like cockpits and are filled with a breathable fluid, LCL. It is frequently stated that LCL stands for "Link Connect Liquid", but this has been denied by Gainax. The LCL fluid may also be compared to the amniotic fluid in the mother's womb, (even though this fluid(contracted; show full)

Artificial versions of the Lance are used as the primary weapon for the mass production type Evangelion units, and also feature prominently in Instrumentality.

=== S
2<sup>2</sup> Engine ===
"Super Solenoid Engine", an Angel's limitless source of power. A faulty version of it was installed in Evangelion-04; during startup, the Engine produced a strong anti-AT Field which destroyed the American Branch of NERV.
After the incident, SEELE tried to keep S^2<sup>2</sup> from being utilized in the Evangelion, but their attempts failed when Eva 01 devoured one from the body of the 14th Angel - Zeruel (see [[Evangelion List of Angels[[Neon Genesis Evangelion#14th Angel - Zeruel|Zeruel]]).

=== AT Field ===
"Absolute Terror Field". This is seen at the beginning of the series to be a barrier that the Angels can use to withstand nearly any conventional assault, a barrier only the Evangelion seems able to neutralize. Toward the climax of the series, it is revealed that every being has an AT Field, and that it is the literal wall that separates your identity from other egos and external reality. It is, then, the cause of loneliness and pain. It is a very [[existential]] [[angst]] concept. It also bears resemblance to the "[[morphogenetic field]]" of [[Rupert Sheldrake]].

The Absolute Terror Field also supposedly refers, in psychology, to the perceived physical (or mental) proximity at which an autistic person or someone similarly affected by conditions of a high ego will panic and become irrational or violent if someone or something that they do not recognize penetrates said proximity. It would theoretically follow that all humans (and likely most organisms within the Animal Kingdom) have Absolute Terror Fields of lesser magnitudes . . . this can be illustrated by issues of trust. E.g. Would most people appreciate a total stranger touching them inappropriately or whispering in their ear? No. Such actions violate a sensibility concerning proximity that is tied directly to how well one knows (and ergo how much one trusts) another person.

=== D-type Equipment ===
A thick, heat resistant armor used for sending Evas into extreme conditions. Unit-  02 was equipped with the D-type equipment when it entered a [[volcano]] in episode 10.

=== N2<sup>2</sup> Mine ===
"Non-Nuclear mine", the most powerful "clean" bomb ever made, capable of actually injuring Angels.

=== [[MAGI]] Super Computer System ===
The biocomputer system designed by Dr. Naoko Akagi for GEHIRN. It is divided into three personalities:
*Balthasar - Dr. Naoko Akagi as a mother;
*Melchior - Dr. Naoko Akagi as a scientist;
*Caspar - Dr. Naoko Akagi as as a woman; (the one that betrays her daughter for her lover).

=== Jet Alone ===
A nuclear-powered Japanese government unmanned super robot, created by an independent corporation with the intention of supplanting Evangelion Units. The test run was sabotaged secretly by NERV.

=== Tokyo-2 ===
Tokyo-2 is the capital of [[Japan]], and was built after the Second Impact destroyed Tokyo (Tokyo-1). Created in the location of today's Nagano.

=== [[Tokyo]] (Tokyo-1) === 
Ruins seen in the series. Destroyed by the Second Impact, which caused sea levels to rise across the world. Some sources claim however that Tokyo was in fact destoyed when the first 
[[N^2]]N<sup>2</sup> bomb was dropped on it during the war, which broke out as a result of tensions post-Second Impact. The Japanese Prime Minister states in [[End Of Evangelion]] that he wants Tokyo-3 to be secured so that "none can touch it for the next 20 years...like old Tokyo".

=== Terminal Dogma ===
The deepest level of the NERV Headquarters, where Lilith and the Lance of Longinus are kept.

=== Trench of Malebolge ===

=== Project EVA ===
The project to create the TV show.

=== Evangelion Complementation Project ===
The project behind '''Renewal of Evangelion''', the 10th anniversary new editions of NGE, and tie-in products.

=== Renewal of Evangelion ===
