History[]
Evangelion Detective[]
After being crushed by Shinji's hand in front of Lilith, Kaworu's body is dropped into the LCL, there, Kaworu speaks with Shinji while still alive. Suddenly Evangelion Type β appears and snatched Kaworu and devours the body. Asuka and Rei, whose Evangelions were being controled by Kaworu recover the control. The Evangelion Type β generates a strong A.T. Field and changed its appearance, gaining wings, halo and losing parts of the armor.
After being defeated by the trio, a strong light emanates from the body as it disappear, leaving Kaworu's body intact. He speaks with Shinji for one last time, before he is also gone.
