Wait wait what is the thing about draft Kaworu the last ask was referring to?

well, before the very official episode 24 got released, there were 2 drafted scripts revolving around kaworu that were first done by akio and then processed by anno. you can read them here draft 1 and draft 2. these drafts show what kaworu was suppposed to be like in the early stages, so its different from the offiicial released kaworu we usually see in the media. in short, he was first written as a transfer student at shinji's school, wearing a sailor suit and having honey colored hair, supposed to have more screen time and hinted as shinji's potential love interest, which asuka made fun of. draft kaworu didnt know he was an angel and thought he was a human like everyone else. there was a scene depicting he has scars on his wrists, implying he might have done sh as a result of his mental health. the drafts still ended with shinji having to kill him.

this is his initial concept by sadamoto, if i remember correctly, he was first to be designed like shinji becuz he represents who shinji wants to be and looks up to. they reflect each other. as u can see, theres a black cat in the concept. thats becuz the original outline had kaworu being possesed by a real angel disguised as a cat and akio seemed to be a bit diverged from that while writing the scripts teehee

sadamoto even put that black cat in official art

the recent official news (Kayou Card Collection) also have the black cat included. im glad there is still some references to the early drafts

i summed up as much as possible, and suggest reading the 2 draft links mentioned above to get a better insight :D and i also did a storyboard for the drafts too, u can watch it if u like

Hey, well, uh, I have a question. I don't know if you know this or if it's true, but I was recently reading a bit about Kaworu and I found that in one of the character drafts, he was supposed to have sc4rs... from… you know, but then they decided not to include them, and that makes me really curious and sad. Can you clear that up for us? ;3

this is just my own perception on him so u can use it as a reference. personally i think he was intended to be another pilot with explicit problems like the others. he was supposed to be part of the shinji's friend group by appearing earlier and actually going to school. but he didnt know he was an angel which might be why everyone treated him the way they did. even though theres still no real explanation in the drafts, we can still make lots of theories and assumptions (isnt that what nge is all about lol).

i think his core problems are still there, they were just toned down for the official release. just like rei, he grew up in a seele lab, and i just think they didnt raise him very well (actually i was making a small comic about it but got dropped again. hope i could finish what i have left T^T). hence his depression and internal crisis. if i remember correctly, there was a scene from a ps game (probably nge 2) of kaworu sitting on a chair just like shinji and questioning his life choices. he was lonely and craved real relationships instead of being seen as a tool or a vessel. the main problem revolving around kaworu is fighting against his set up destiny and real nature, this is why he was called angel of free will. but his suicidal intents were always there so... its a shame that he was born to look like a human but couldnt live like one.

i think the reason why they decided to change the direction, aside from being rushed at that time, was to have a character that wasnt so depressed like everyone else once we got to know them (°▽°). besides, he was introduced very late in the series so they cant just expect us to immediately sympathize with yet another gloomy character, it would have felt like a trope. hes like a spark at that time when everything else is depressing and hopeless despite him also being one of them. he just got another way to cope with his problems.

again this is mostly my made up theory so dont take it too seriously but i hope i cleared that up well (・ω・)

i have a question, i am not even new to the eva fandom BUT kinda new to the tumblr side of it and i have to be honest i do not understand the different names kaworu is called by on here 😭😭

like qworu, karl(?), etc… i’m sorry i hope you don’t mind my asking i haven’t been able to find an answer anywhere lol T_T

ooh, thats just a fandom thing to distinguish kaworu from many versions. there are 3 main versions of him that u probably know:

- tv series (1995): japanese fans often call him aniworu (anime + kaworu, i guess?)

- manga by sadamoto: this version of him is really different from the tv series becuz of his jerk attitude. and maybe thats why the fans just made fun of him and called him karl (shinji is shaun btw ✌️🥀). if i remember correctly, the japanese fans call him sadaworu

- rebuilds: his main screen time is mostly in the third movie 3.0. the japanese title for this movie included a letter "Q" at the end, which was a pun on the pronunciation "Kyuu" (meaning "climax") btw. thus, qworu

and ofc there are other countless versions of kaworu but theyre not as common as the 3 mainstream media versions mentioned above, hence the nicknames. they could be from games, collaborations, etc. personally i (and maybe some other fans) have made up some nicknames for different versions like draftworu (kaworu from the drafted scripts), coworu (from official cowboy outfit art) or pinkworu (becuz there are some official art where he wears pink undershirt instead of orange or purple...)

[evastuffs]

didnt know he could be that expressive, especially qworu. surely he did hold a lot of feelings. or was this scene just how asuka perceived him in human instrumentality? idk this short movie seems a lot more comedic than usual, almost opposite to shinji's perspective.

beside the manga, asuka and kaworu did interact with each other in the tv series timeline but it was in a drama cd, called episode 27 after the end, which was depicted almost like nge behind the scenes and even predicted some moments that likely to happen in rebuilds too. i know it was just for fun and probably not canon but u can visualize how they would interact. yeah they would hate each other's guts

but then again, i found this pic online (probably from a databook of the ps game). it looks like his relationship parameters towards asuka are not so bad as they are equal towards rei and even hikari

and then again... (from battle orchestra btw ✌️)

i shouldve let this post's topic was about asuka and kaworu... ship them however u like idc. but theyre complicating, i like it

A lot of people don’t know that Makoto Hyuga was supposed to be canonly gay, too. Evangelion quietly slipped an allude to his sexuality in the original Episode 24 drafts (the same drafts that saw Kaworu and Shinji kiss). Ultimately, the idea was trashed and replaced with his crush for Misato, likely for the same reasons they trashed the original Kawoshin kiss. 

Here’s the scene in question (you can read the entire draft here):

HYUGA: Seems like we’ve got ourselves involved in a pretty unbelievable organization.

[HYUGA hands MISATO more documents.]

HYUGA: Here’s my research on the Fifth Child. There’s nothing particularly suspicious in his history. He’s been in contact with the committee, but there’s no sign of involvement. As far as family goes, it seems there’s been some turbulence there. You could say he’s just a garden-variety pretty boy who’s had an unfortunate life.

MISATO: Just your type of guy, huh?

HYUGA: Cut it out…

[evastuffs]

hyuga x kaworu huh? did i stutter?

[evastuffs]

kaworu from being an asshole in manga to the most loving person in anime would be a really peak character development in my hc. he learned and changed a lot through timeloops. i think karl is his natural self. in 1.0 and 2.0, he looks and acts still like karl right after awaking again from the coffin and is on the moon away from everyone (except seele ofc consider them as his parents lol). aniworu and qworu might be all acts but i dont think they would take up much and there are still some of his genuine feelings in them. hes really powerful if hes serious but still chose to let human live anyway.

Invitation to Death

most of the video is based on episode 24 draft 1, the last part is just me making up to have a possible ending

its not a real visual novel, i just edit to make it look like one ( ´ ω ` )

[evastuffs]

i have finished watching reze arc and now realize both kaworu and reze are really alike, just different genders. at least reze has her whole arc movie, kaworu might only have one episode but hes still iconic. both are in love with protagonists despite being their enemies. reze even offered running away with denji like kaworu did with shinji in sirp. they have so much in common uwwahhhh

[evastuffs]

its funny how most people think these hands are Shinji's while in fact they're protagonist Kyoya's hands...

naughty Kaworu

i know Pinkworu has been a thing for some people because of his presence in many illustrations outside the game. idk if his first appearance was in secret of evangelion but i'd like it be his origin :3 and maybe the first Kaworu to have some kinda "intimate" scene with someone else other than Shinji...

Pinkworu is like picking up different things from other kaworus and then combining them randomly according to how your brain likes him to be

in this game, he looks like aniworu but with inner pink shirt.

he even has more plushies than karl (ngl im rooting for his figures someday) and then got the similiar hairstyle (hes like stealing everything lol)

some appearances in collaborations. should i hc he has a habit of stealing things now? this motherfcker is so greedy
