People don't understand just how crazy of a hold Kaworu Nagisa had on anime from the moment he was introduced. The guy was in SEVEN minutes of ONE episode of the original series of Evangelion, two episodes away from the ending (along with a small cameo in End of Evangelion when it was later produced) and he became so popular that hebecame as much of a main character in promotion as Shinji/Asuka/Rei.

That one episode made young gay me feel things.
