* AmbiguouslyEvil: It declares that it will destroy humanity after Human Instrumentality fails, but for some reason it's still providing power to the QR Signum of the Angel Carrier that was taken by NERV Japan. Whether or not this is intentional or Armaros can't shut the flow of power off after he provides it to the QR Signum is unknown. It's later revealed that Armaros is unable to do so because it doesn't fall in line with his programming; Noah explains that Armaros' only directive is to wipe out humanity and restart the cycle.

* TheDragon: Explained to follow its own thought pattern but being devoid of freewill and is used by SEELE as part of their plan to restart the Human Instrumentality Project.

* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler: The reveal that Armaros is an alternate Shinji who lost his Asuka and Rei and became an OmnicidalManiac as a result means that he's one to most incarnations of Shinji. Armaros is essentially what Shinji would have became if he didn't abort Third Impact.]]

One of the original three BridgeBunnies and assistant/protégé under Dr Akagi, with Dr Akagi's disappearance since SEELE's attack three years ago, Maya has been promoted to the new Chief of Science and Engineering for NERV Japan
* TookInALevelOfCynic: After having lost her mentor and much admired senpai, as well as being made to quickly fill her shoes as head of science and engineering, Maya has lost much of her enthusiasm and cheerfulness, becoming much more no-nonsense and jaded

!!Kensuke Aida
Although unable to fulfill his lifelong passion of piloting an Eva, Kensuke eventually joined with NERV Japan as a member of its Intelligence Department. He currently works with Ryoji Kaji.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: In comparison to his middle school days, Kensuke is a lot more bitter and jaded due to not being able to pilot an Eva, causing him to be jealous of his former friends [[spoiler:while also willing to sell them out in exchange for advancing his career. He is responsible for leaking information about the Ark to other countries and is indirectly responsible for Hikari being brainwashed]].



!!Ryoji Kaji
A member of NERV Japan. His survival and role in stopping the Third Impact are ultimately what sets the story of ''ANIMA'' in motion.
----
* DemonicPossession: He's possessed by SEELE after putting on Keel's visor.
* ManlyFacialHair: His chin stubble has grown into a rather impressive beard by the present day of ''ANIMA''.
* SpannerInTheWorks: His ''survival'' throws a huge wrench in both SEELE and Gendo's respective plans by informing NERV about the impending attempt for the Third Impact well ahead of time.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In most adaptations, Kaji is killed off after SEELE and/or Gendo deems him no longer useful. In ''ANIMA'', his survival is what kicks off the light novel.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Being mixed with Kaji's personality gives the SEELE vessel a relaxed, mocking demeanour as he tells the cast how hopeless they are to stop his schemes to reset the world.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Smug, cruel and mocking as the Kaji-SEELE being is, it's made clear by the narrative their goal does come from a place of benevolence, they just don't care about the feeling/sacrifices of individual humans in the scope of their plot.

[[folder:SEELE]]
!!SEELE
The council restored after Kaji winds up donning Keel Lorenz's visor, they return as a gestalt of minds combined with Kaji's own, plotting once more to enact their Human Instrumentality Plan after purposefully leaking their initial plot to Kaji three years ago.
----
* BigBad: As usual, the council are the ones seeking to end the world and return humanity to a HiveMind state, something no one wants and they don't particularly care about.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Armaros is the most direct physical threat but once SEELE returns to the scene, they reveal their own plot to use the black giant to attempt Instrumentality once more.
