To elaborate, many of the notable characters besides herself, Asura, and to a possible extent Taki, die all around her in order: the communist woman, Suyama, Dobashi, the Japanese SWAT team leader, Kuwata, Peace, Tachihara, Hacker, Freya, Ichihara, Raiden, Lucifer, Nogawa, and Maisaka.
Not to mention, she also cheats death a few times here and there as well.
Earlier on in episode one, "Special Security Force", Angel and Raiden converse on what would they do if the hostage was a child, the latter willing to risk killing the child by suggesting that "if the terrorist took a child hostage, then it would be the terrorist's fault if the kid got blown away." In episode two, "The Disfigured City" she almost does exactly that when Dobashi, the terrorist, tries to attempt this only for Asura to make him kill himself instead using Psychic Powers; just right after it, Raiden (now a cyborg) appears and calls her out on it.
In between those moments, Angel attempting to kill Asura calls him out on it, demanding to know why he did; his answer makes him more or less not so different from Angel since he cared about protecting the weak (IE child).
Additionally, after Angel abandons Raiden to go after the terrorists only to find them all killed by Asura, she gets called out by Peace when the latter notices the lack of concern for him; even so, in episode five, "Wrath of the Empire", Raiden acknowledges the former's change of heart: case in point would be elaborate in episode six, "Doomsday" when Angel replaces the power cells in his body and confesses her love of him.
The Japanese SWAT team leader strangely looks like a foreigner just like Lucifer in an otherwise jingoistic work of anti-Semitism/anti-Americanism, an example of Mukokuseki amongst a crowd of realistically depicted Japanese character since the qualifications to be a SWAT team leader requires Japanese blood; however, when you look at World War I, the Japanese Army were so peacefully well-behaved compared to the Army in World War II it caused an influx of Germans to settle in the land of the Rising Sun. Keep in mind, this was perhaps the prototypical stereotype of Aryans in general minds of the Germans: blond hair, blue eyes, and muscular build.
Not strange, because the Japanese SWAT team leader IS foreign, or more specifically, French (who also screams certain words in bad French); Lucifer on the other hand, is just an American.
In episode two, when Tachihara does get caught, Taki threatened him to "discover the true meanaing of the word, suffering." Four episodes later, Taki gets caught in a trap set up by Nogawa that results in the former shot repeatly by machinegun fire and hooked up to a drip with a compound that makes sure to appreciate the "meaning of the word, suffering." Ironic Echo, much?
While that Taki didn't expect this at all, he did anticipate that Maisaka and Nogawa would do whatever it took in their power to make sure that the International Jewish Conspiracy wasn't going to get out into the public now that Tachihara was caught so the bomb was just insurance in case he started to die from his bullet wounds.
