Evangelion Shin Gekijouban Zeruel - S.H.MonsterArts is crafted to capture Zeruel's towering, ominous presence from the Evangelion Shin Gekijouban series. The figure features a dense, multi-layered armor anatomy with curved plates, exposed inner mechanisms, and a broad chest segment that conveys the Angel's immense power. Its neutral color palette of pale gray with darker panel lines, weathered paint, and metallic accents highlights the contrast between armor and energy. The head is sculpted with a menacing mask and sharply angled, penetrating eyes. The articulation covers many points of the body, enabling dynamic poses reminiscent of Zeruel's imposing stride and combat posture. The piece is designed for display with a sturdy stand and compatibility with energy-effect accessories for dramatic scenes.

Zeruel enters the narrative as a cataclysmic force in Evangelion Shin Gekijouban, the first truly devastating Angel confrontation faced by Nerv and EVA units. Its overwhelming power tests EVA-01 and its young pilot, driving rapid tactical decisions, improvisation, and sacrifice. Zeruel's immense AT-field and raw energy wreak havoc on city defenses, underscoring the fragility of human safeguards against inconceivable threat. The encounter forces Shinji and his comrades to confront fear, responsibility, and the meaning of partnership in the face of annihilation. As Zeruel presses the team to their limits, the battle becomes a turning point that reshapes relationships, unit upgrades, and the course of the film's drama.
