Children
In the Japanese dialogue for the original anime, the Eva pilots were always referred to as "Children," even when referring to an individual pilot. The English translation referred to the individual pilots as First Child, etc. In the Rebuild of Evangelion series, the expression "(n)th Children" is not used. Instead, the pilots are referred to as Ichibanme no tekikakusha (一番目の適格者?, "The First Qualified Person/Candidate") Dai Ichi no Shōjo (第一の少女?, "First Girl"), Sanninme no kodomo (三人目の子供?, "Third Child"), or Dai San no Shōnen (第三の少年?, "Third Boy").
