@clayinthecarpet However, activating the AT Field requires that an Eva unit be "Ensouled" and operated by a living pilot. The process of imparting a "Soul" to an Eva unit does not seem to be fixed. In the case of the show, Shinji and Asukas Evas were both inhabited by the souls of their respective mothers, allowing their children to "Synchronise" themselves with the Evas and pilot them. It's not determined whether or not the soul must be "connected" as Rei's Eva, unit 00, has no resident soul, and Kaworu, being Adam in human form, does not require one. Maris Eva is also unknown, and she's one of the only pilots who has operated multiple Evangelion units, including ones not specifically configured for her. Also, the double-entry system equipped Unit 13 is piloted by Shinji AND Kaworu together through the power of, presumably, their man-love. Earth was only seeded with 17 Angels, so once those are defeated, Lillith (and humanity) will no longer be under threat.
