Kaworu's synch with unit02

[Maverick [ANF]]

Why can Kaworu synch with Unit02?
Some says that he can synch cuz he is also made of Adam.
But if the synch only uses the Nerv-a10 process, then, the clone thing has nothing to do with the synch process.

Also, in the 1st test that Kaworu did, does he synchs with the unit02 or just with some unit02 data patterns? Fuytsuki says that he synchs with UNIT02, but what we see, is a tube that is not connected to any EVA.

No one knows how he is the actual clone of....some think Keel. Anyways, he's not really the clone of Adam, he just has Adam's soul.

Maybe he controlled eva 2 cause they both have the soul of Adam?

Eva 02 never had the soul of Adam, it's impossible for his sould to be in two places at the same time. Eva02 had the soul of Kyouko and was just the clone of Adam.

Oh yeah, I forgot that eva 2 had the soul of Kyouko. Well maybe it's that Kaworu can just mess with other evas and control them?

with a high enough synch ration i'd think one would be able to control them at will, entry plug or no...

Naw. It's Keel's dead lover, I tell you!

Lilith manages to get past this problem...

Eva02 had the soul of Kyouko and was just the clone of Adam.

The first part is right, but the "clone" part is just misleading. Far as I recall, NGE just says, in its typically vague way, that the Evas are "from Adam". (I need to find the original Japanese for this...) That could mean a lot of things; it's evident that the Evas are genetically BASED upon Adam, but they're not the same thing. (The Evas are chicks, for one thing. )

I was never quite clear on how Kaworu managed to synchronize with (and later control) Nigouki. Okay, perhaps being "from the same tissue" -- not to mention having the soul of an uber-dude -- gives lil' Tabris certain "advantages", though that's no substitute for a proper explanation.

We do know, however, that Kyoko had been suffering as much a downward plunge as her daughter. Of course, the show, neglecting the Evas much as it does, never shows it, but I'm sure Arael probed Kyoko's own painful memories before the angel discovered the strange little creature -- i.e., Asuka -- inside Kyoko's upper thorax. (The pain Asuka was feeling initially was that of her mother; notice how it took a little while before Asuka herself started having head trips .) This and a combination of other factors led Kyoko to "hide herself away" -- as if she hadn't been passive enough to begin with! -- and supposedly this was another factor that allowed Kaworu to exploit her.

On this matter, one thing I always wondered about was how much Tabby was REALLY controlling her. He must be a great multitasker if he can float around and do his own thing while participating in the battle that's going on behind his back! Were EVA-02's actions (most of them, anyway) so much deliberate control on Kaworu's part as they were a blind directive (Kaworu: "Soon as you see purple, sic." EVA-02: "Yes, my master...")?

Naw, I highly doubt he even GOT laid. I think that's why he started this whole mind orgy thing in the first place.

As for Tabris and EVA-02... well, it IS part of his own body (sort of) after all...

I think they explained why Kaworu could synch with them. It was something like Eva 02's soul was closing in.

Sort of, my understanding was that because Unit 2's "soul" was dormant(because Asuka couldn't synchronize at the time & hadn't "found" her mother in there yet), it became easy for Kaworu to control it, which indicated to me that he could do that with ANY Eva unit in the same state....8)

to beat a dead horse,

Kaworu was able to sync with 02 because Asuka had basically lost it and the link she had with her mother inside the 02 unit. since it was no longer albe to sync with Asuka successfully, Kaworu was eaisly able to sync with the no vacant eva unit.


he does talk about it when Sjinji is fighting the 02 unit

It is the same principle as Rei being able to pilot Eva01 because of being a clone of Yui (having the same tissue) and Yui's soul is in Eva01.

He said that he control Eva02 easily because the dormant sould was hiding. Conrtol the Eva and syncing with it is different.

Grrrrr-blah, this whole Rei-&-Kaworu mess screws around with whatever sense MDWigs and I were trying to make of the Eva-pilot deal in the uber-thread at AnimeBoards. None of it makes any sense! (I wonder if I could use the Chewbacca Defense to my advantage here...)

I still think that an important clue about Kaworu's nature and origin is not getting the attention it deserves.

from the Red Cross Book
[Kaworu Nagisa]
The Fifth Children who was sent by SEELE to NERV._ However, his true identity was that of the 17th Angel._ It is likely that he was an Angel which had been captured by SEELE in the embryo stage._ Unlike the other Angels, he has feelings quite similar to humans._ The records list his birthdate as September 13th, 2000 AD._ He made contact with the Third Children -- Shinji Ikari-- as a human, and although he became friends with Shinji, he was ultimately crushed to death by Eva-01 piloted by Shinji._ He said that "Life and Death are of equal value," and "Only one form of life can be chosen to be given the future."

Please note that in the show itself, this is presented as the one known fact about Kaworu:


I cant help but feel that this is supposed to represent some sort of significant clue.
Let's look a the various translations of a very interesting line from the Second Impact scene in Ep21' and D&R:
Here is the line as presented in Manga's DVD of D&R:

(The line is translated the same way in the dub)

Here it is from a couple fansubs of D&R that I have:




Here it is from my fansub of Ep21':


And, finally, here is the line as translated by Bochan_Bird on EvaOtaku's Directors Cut page for Ep21':

The genes implanted into Adam have already achieved physical merging!

It's interesting to see how every one of these examples translate the same line differently, huh?
However, the one thing they all do have in common is the notion that some other genetic material was being put into Adam. I always assumed that the idea was that, as part of the process of shrinking Adam into a more 'managable' form, human DNA was implanted in him, and that Kaworu was, in some sense, the result; in other words, he had the form of a human, but his physical substance was the same as Adam and the Angels.

Wow, this is an extremely interesting theory.

That's all I have to say. *shuffles off*

A good theory once again, S-S. There was a helluva big explosion though, but on the other hand if they managed to find pocket-monster Adam after it, finding one nude floating bishie shouldn't be any problem either.

Great theory Shin-seiki.

I wonder what Kaworu did for 15 years after being created. Did he age normally? How long was he floating, when SEELE picked him up what did they do with him for all those years?

Perhaps thats why he knows so much about humanity, he observed them for so long with his Adam soul.

Well, as for what state he was in when SEELE got their hands on him:

from RCB
However, his true identity was that of the 17th Angel._ It is likely that he was an Angel which had been captured by SEELE in the embryo stage.

so I suppose he grew and developed at an ordinary human pace...

But WHOSE DNA was it? Misato's maybe? I always wondered why they had a 14 year old girl at the South Pole.
