SHINJI:“My name...”

KAWORU:“Everyone knows your name. I don't mean to be rude, but I think you should be a little more aware of your position.”

SHINJI:“You think so? Who are you?”

KAWORU:“I'm Kaworu, Kaworu Nagisa. One of the children that's part of the design, just like you. I'm the Fifth Child.”

SHINJI:“The Fifth Child? You are? Nagisa?”

UrsusArctos: Kaworu was named after Nagisa Oshima, and "Nagisa" literally means "shore" or "beach". Both Kaworu and Shinji are at the shore, with Kaworu on the statue in the water, and Shinji on the land. Kaworu himself is a liminal being, both Angel and Lilin, among other things. Episode 10 ended with Misato at a "shore" of sorts looking at the sunset and talking about forgetting "ancient history", but that history has returned to haunt her in Kaworu's form.
