The spirit of kawoshin possessed me tonight, fixed some of the other sketches// sorry for the repeats !
Kaworu’s death music from 3.0 was inspired by the “Love Theme” from Tchaikovsky’s Romieo and Juliet.
...WHAT?!
The music pertains to this scene and is referred to as “Theme Q” or “Tout est Perplexe” composed by Shiro Sagisu:
From QMisato’s tumblr:
Here is the sheet music to “Tout est Perplexe” (the music from Kaworu’s death scene in 3.0)
And then the Love Theme sheet music
A part of “Tout est Perplexe” from a piano player on YT:
Relevant part is at 2:07
https://youtu.be/_qbLMTTbnuI
And lastly, the bit from Romeo and Juliet:
https://youtu.be/_fBO4NxBrQM
Of course it’s not the same exact melody, but you *can* hear the variation on the theme. What better background music to tell Shinji and Kaworu’s tragic love story! It’s almost like he did some of the notes in reverse to sound like lower octaves and more sad.
I just wanted to bring this tidbit to light about something I read in the book “All about Kaworu Nagisa.”
It seems other translations have mistranslated the line regarding Shinji’s thoughts after Kaworu’s death “I don’t want to like someone like that.” This is not what he says in Japanese.
あんなやつをそれなのに好きになってはいけないと自分以外の者に思っていたのに惹かれてしまうんだろう
He uses the word “ikenai” as in “I mustn’t” in a lawful sense...the grammatical usage is that it carries a negative connotation or that the action is looked down upon.
The English translation for the comic has it accurately.
He says in the last Japanese line “I thought I shouldn’t like a guy like that.” Not “a guy like that,” but he feels he shouldn’t like another boy in THAT way. Again, reflecting that he thinks it’s supposed to be wrong to feel those things.
Just wanted to be clear, because “I don’t want to like a guy like that” takes on a whole different, misconstrued meaning. 👍🏻
Something super depressing I noticed while looking at shogi
The floor area where Shinji and Kaworu play the piano line up almost identically to the spot on the shogi board when Shinji plays the game with Fuyutsuki to where the shogi pieces “pawn” and “lance” line up in the same rows…
Kawoshin “Chrysalis” doujinshi by Nobi Nobita/draft artist, analysis
**Scanned and translated doujinshi in the cut tag **
This doujinshi appears in the special June magazine “mook” (portmanteau for magazine / book), entitled “Like a Cruel Angel,” and it’s written by the artist that created the illustrations for episode 24′s early drafts.
It’s pretty much the same narrative vernacular about what happens at the end of episode 24, except the artist begins the short story with an interesting thematic element concerning the noisiness of cicadas, a summer bug in Japan.
** SOME NOTES **
>> There are a few blurry pages. I’m not sure how they ended up that way when I went to upload them, If anyone REALLY needs a cleaner copy of a certain page, please reach out to me.
>> When Kaworu says “I am 14 years” he literally says 僕は14年, I’m assuming he’s either continuing to talk to Rei given the very last scene with the Rei clones, and hinting that *he’s* been in his own aquarium for 14 years, OR he’s now talking to Shinji and referencing his lifespan in the context of the cicadas.
>> He also cryptically says “I think I’m also the 3rd one.” Not sure if he’s alluding to the fact he is on his third cycle, third clone, etc.
>> “Target lost” doesn’t mean they lost sight of Kaworu obviously…in Japanese, “lost” can mean “loss of life” lost soul, etc.
>> Shinji is reflecting back to a memory from the TV series when he sleeps in Kensuke’s tent out in the field. The episode did not have a lot of dialogue, it focused on sounds, and the sound effects for cicadas grew intensely the further away from people Shinji ventured outward. I had personally always interpreted this to mean that no matter how far he tries to run away, the deafening of his problems will always follow him.
>> There are only five pages in this doujinshi that do NOT have the sound effects for cicada chirping written across the pages. So it’s an ongoing element to show that he doesn’t easily escape them, and mirrors his earlier line in the doujin “the neverending summer continued.” This “neverending summer” will continue as Kaworu’s clones emerge, meet Shinji, and tragically die.
>> The cicadas symbolize Kaworu and his clones in this story in a few ways: He mentions they “emerge from the ground” after the 7th summer, and die after 7 days.” The last image in the doujinshi depicts a swarm of Kaworu clones underground, ‘in the soil’ just like the cicadas. Kaworu understands his own death and seems to be aware there is a cycle with himself, too. Shinji holds him with Unit 1′s hand and it immediately after shows him holding the cicada the same way.
>> The way Kaworu talks to Rei could be seen as her also being one of many cicadas that are caught and confined in a “basket” / dummy plug system.
>> The counting on the last page of the doujinshi equals to four summers. He mentions earlier that he “thinks he is the third.” So, if he is likening himself to the cicadas, then it is going to take “four more summers” to emerge from the ground (you can clearly see the symbolic placement of the Kaworu clones appearing to be underground) this last scene mirrors the earlier conversation he had with Shinji about the lifespan of the cicadas. This could be hinting at early ideas of there existing some type of time loop or cycle time line within the series, albeit just fan work of the storyboard artist. Whether or not his clones really are underground is open to interpretation, since Shinji does ask what he is doing “in a place like this.” Kinda creepy o . o
Hit the jump for my translation of the doujin:

Recently someone got the Blu-ray version of 3.333 and that has the storyboards of 3.333. Some patched up a few of those minutes here. There’s quite a few things that didn’t make it in the final cut and they go from heartwarming to subtly unsettling to downright terrifying. Some of the later scrapped concepts feel like a completely different beast. They’re way more on-brand with OG Eva! Because these feel more faithful to the original series in how they’re handled, some of the imagery shown below isn’t for the faint of heart.
(warning for body horror under the cut)

I just finished my Evangelion marathon aaaand, you can expect a bunch of fan art while i still have the hype ¦3
I’ve already gone over about how the angels in Eva really aren’t terrifying when you understand them, but here’s how I feel we can make that happen (at least for psychological angels).
(Under a readmore, don’t read if the idea of subconscious breaching and trauma makes you uncomfortable)

Ok. There are a lot of details in this question of mine, but I try to summarize as many things as possible (or I have to come back later to add some things I may have missed). You said in one of your answers that Kawoshin is canon, but is it mutual or one sided? I've seen people writing essays that there is NOT any proof that Shinji's feelings for Kaworu are romantic. They even say Anno's words can be countered since hasn't directly said anything about Shinji's feelings apparently. Im confused.
Hello and thanks for asking me about these!
I’m going to go on about a few examples of the pairing’s verifiable nature.
