Function

The design's central conceit is treating the Eva's restraint plating as samurai equipment: the armor pieces are redistributed across the body to read as a warrior's battle dress. The purple base coat shifts to a new shade accented with green, while gold picks out the chest placket and both shoulder pylons. Period details abound. The feet become kōgake, armored footwear; sode plates hang from the pylons; a red uwa-obi wraps the waist; a golden wakidate crest replaces the familiar lone horn; and the hakama trades the expected purple for black and gray. The right hip armor doubles as a mount for the figure's long sword.

Its armament comprises two kodachi, short blades that slot into the shoulder pylons for storage, and the Ōdachi Magoroku, a full-length sword carried in a hip sheath.
