UrsusArctos: Thus ends the tragedy of Darth Tabris the Assisted Suicide, and thus begins an eternity of headless Kaworu jokes/fanart. Strange that a talking Kaworu head (a la Lorgenome from Gurren Lagann) isn't popular, since his head is technically the only part of him that doesn't get squished to bloody pulp. Of course, Kaworu gets his head blasted off in Evangelion 3.0 in yet another pathos-inducing scene that calls back to this. At least one instance of pre-3.0 headless Kaworu fanart was mistakenly assumed to be a spoiler and called out in public, spoiling a whole lot of people.
Mr. Tines: Another "seen more than once", with an immediate callback at the start of 25'.
Dr. Nick: ...which also serves as a callback to Ideon's concluding film Be Invoked, which starts with a recap of a love interest's decapitation.
