⚫
* [[All According to Plan]]: He's just as unflappable as Rei, though he replaces her stoicism with an omni-present knowing smirk. The few times we see him change his expression from this terse smile are the only times we can be completely sure that he is being genuine (and even in those cases, he's usually still smiling too).

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Since Kaworu is like Rei (a human body with the soul of an Angel... in his case, Adam's soul), the human concept of sexuality doesn't seem to exist for him. That said, a lot of what he does around Shinji is ''really'' questionable. Also, while he has more knowledge about human emotions than Rei does, he is just as oblivious to them as she is and doesn't see any sexual undertones in his interaction with Shinji, and also doesn't see anything wrong when he does something that makes others uncomfortable.

* [[Anti-Villain]]: Allows himself to be killed so that Shinji and humanity can survive: of course, that's if he was a villian in the first place (though he definitely was one in the manga).

* [[Laser Guided Tykebomb]]: SEELE's equivalent of Rei Ayanami, until he either decided to deny them their victory or reveals that he was never going to in the first place.

** While he shows off the occasional triumphant smirk when something goes [[Just as Planned]], he spends most of the series with a downcast scowl on his face. His only truly warm smiles tends to happen when he is around Rei.

** Notably, the flashback episode shows that the younger Gendo tended to default to a confident smirk for his standard expression. After losing Yui, the frown that his older self will be known for appeared and was there to stay.
