KAWORU:“Singing is great. Singing enriches the soul.
It's the crowning achievement of the civilization that the Lilim created.”
UrsusArctos: Our favorite bishōnen makes his appearance! Sitting on a headless angel statue, referring to humans as "Lilin", plus the time-honored anime trope of making characters more attractive as they grow more powerful ought to be clear hints of who he really is.
Additional Commentary
dzzthink: The headless angel also being what he becomes later!
UrsusArctos: Funny that everyone thinks of Kaworu as a headless Angel, when his head is all that's left of him. Come Evangelion 3.0, though, you're absolutely right.
