Kaworu Nagisa

Appearance:Kaoru Nagisa, an anime and manga character "Evangelion" has an androgynous and attractive appearance. Its key features include: Hair: Silver-gray, blond, often disheveled, with bangs that cover part of the forehead. Eyes: Bright red. In the original series, his eyes are depicted without clear pupils, which gives him an unearthly appearance. Skin: Very pale. Body type: Slim and lean, almost the same as the other teenage pilots. The general image: His appearance gives the impression of otherworldly, not quite human. Clothes: School uniform: Kaoru often wears a Shinji-like school uniform: a white button-down shirt, black trousers, belt, and white sneakers. Combat suit (plugsuit): His tight-fitting suit is painted in gray, black and dark blue, with accents of silver and red. Personality and history: Kaoru — Also known as Tabris, Taburisu is both the seventeenth Angel and the fifth child. Although Kaoru is classified as an Angel, he is similar to Rei Ayanami in that he is the seed of life that has entered the human body. Despite his human appearance, Kaoru does not consider himself human, as he calls people "Lilin". Kaoru's body was created as a result of a contact experiment with Adam, during which the DNA of an unknown donor entered Adam's flesh and merged with it,which explains Hyuga's discovery that Kaoru was "born" on the day of the Second Impact. Seele saved Adam's disembodied soul by placing it in Kaoru. The Seele Council was able to restore a soul from an embryo found in Antarctica. Hints of Kaoru's descent from Adam were given in the anime, and in Sadamoto's manga this is stated explicitly. Since Seele was sent to Nerv by Kaoru, it is believed that the boy himself was under Seele's supervision even before the start of the series. Kaoru was brought to Nerv as a replacement for Asuka, who was no longer able to control Eva-02. In the very first test, Kaoru achieves impressive results in synchronization, and later it turns out that he himself is able to choose the desired level. And although Kaoru was created to destroy humanity, he himself shows great interest in human culture, as well as in people's problems, their grief and loneliness. When Shinji first sees him sitting on the Angel statue (Kaoru's visual theme), he was humming parts of Beethoven's ninth symphony, the fourth and final "Presto — Allegro assai", better known as "Ode to Joy", based on poems by Friedrich Schiller. Kaoru then says that he considers singing to be the best achievement of Lilin (humanity). Kaoru seems to be much more relaxed about his incarnation (better than Rei), and he is also much more sociable and emotionally open. However, he later reveals Rey's detachment from humanity and tendency to talk about everyone in a universal rather than personal way. Kaoru was sent to Nerv by members Seele, with the intention of implementing their Third Strike scenario, thus outweighing the primacy of executing the human betterment project in their favor. On the eve of the last battle, Kaoru talked to the Seele ghost council, whose council only he could see. This suggests that Seele was in contact with Kaoru before that (they sent him to Nerv to become a pilot there). In conversation, they (falsely) report that they actually want to give up the human place to the Angels, the "true heirs of the White Moon. It is unknown what exactly Seele wanted Kaoru to do: attack terminal dogma or Kaoru himself intended to do it without anyone's instructions. All we know for sure is that after the attack began, they wanted Evangelion-01 to destroy it. Presumably, his murder of Shinji was a necessary part of Seele's plan, allowing them to initiate their version of the Third Strike later on. It remains an open question whether they needed Kaoru and Shinji's connection, and although it looked like Kaoru's initiative, Seele subsequently benefited from Shinji's state of consciousness, as Kaoru continues to pursue Adam even after meeting Shinji and getting to know him, and even uses Eva-02 to detain him. In fact, Kaoru only changed his mind when he realized that Lilith was actually located in the terminal dogma, and by that point he could no longer initiate the Third Strike. Kaoru's subsequent death also played into Seele's hands: if Shinji hadn't been in apathy after Kaoru's death, which is why in "The End of Evangelion" he refused to pilot for a long time, it is likely that he and Asuka could have defeated the serial Evangelions and prevented The third blow. Kaoru is partly responsible for the fact that his image prevented Shinji from falling into madness after he saw the dead Eva Asuka, which contributed to the initiation of the Third Strike, at the moment when the members of Seele began to ritually pray. Since Kaoru is the vessel of Adam's soul, his Angelic name is Tabris. As it turned out from the Newtype publication, the name ADAM and the name Tabris used by Kiel Lorenz in the manga is the 17th and last Angel. He is considered an Angel of free will, granted by God's will. Unlike the Angels before him, Kaoru, like Rei, has a Lilin body with no visible physical differences from ordinary people except for excessively pale skin, light gray hair and red irises of the eyes. And although it is assumed that his body consists of the same "partial-wave matter" as Rey and the Angels, it is impossible to say if he has a core and an S2 engine. Tabris is the only Angel trapped in terminal dogma. Kaoru's human body is the vessel of Adam's saved soul and possesses his power. In fact, he is Adam, reborn in a human body. His A.T. field, as described by Magi, is the strongest (until it was surpassed by the A.T. field of Rey). Kaoru is able to levitate, control Eva-02, and use it as a huge barrier preventing the command center from firing wave transmissions at it, and (obviously) to bypass the blocking mechanism of the LCL plant. Being the first Angel (Adam, whose body and soul were separated during the Second Strike) and the last, the seventeenth Angel, Kaoru is essentially both the first and the last of his kind. Kaoru is "born of Adam" and describes him as "our (Angelic) progenitor." Since Kaoru is Adam's soul vessel, this judgment makes him his own paradoxical progenitor. During the battle, Kaoru controls Eva-02, but rather not for combat, but for his own protection. Shinji tried to neutralize Eva-02 with blows to the neck and head, while Kaoru struck his opponent's chest with two knife blows, where the damage would have been minimal. Perhaps Kaoru just wanted to delay Eva-01 as much as possible, so that he could use her as a source of his death if necessary. Indeed, Kaoru decides to let Shinji kill him so that the Lilins will win and the Angels will die. Being the human incarnation of Adam, as revealed by Seele, Kaoru apparently committed such a sacrifice due to the fact that, having lost his purpose in life, he decided to die (which is later confirmed by Misato's words), allowing the Angels to finally perish, and Shinji and the rest of the Lilin to live on. The same music that Kaoru played during his appearance is played during his descent into terminal dogma; in addition, it serves as the leitmotif of his character. The lyrics of this song speak about the equality of all before God. At the moment when Kaoru tears off the doors of terminal dogma, the line "Und der Cherub steht vor Gott" ("And the Cherub (Angel) he stands before God"). Kaoru contains Adam's soul, but he has taken the form of a Lilin. Therefore, the Angels are, in fact, his children. It can be assumed that his goal is to return the Earth, which rightfully belongs to him and the Angels. We find out that Kaoru was sent by Seele. What exactly was the relationship between them? We know that Seele's goal was the Third Strike and cultivation, but how does their plan include Kaoru? Why did they send him to Nerv? We are shown only one meeting between them, on the lake formed after the destruction of Evangelion-00. At the very end of the anime, Kaoru realizes the value of humanity (Lilin), so he decided to kill himself instead of humanity.
