17th-angel:

Tsurumaki: Kaworu’s line stayed the same from the very first storyboard. It was something he said while wearing his usual relaxed smile. Of course, at the last minute, just, I think, before we started postsynchronization, we began talking about whether or not it would be better if Kaworu looked scary during that scene.

Interviewer: As a result, it looks like he’s come to take his bride by force!

Tsurumaki: Right, right (laughing). [We thought it would be] more interesting if Kaworu looked like [he was thinking]: “You’ve been with a woman while I’ve been away? How dare you…!” It’s not Kaworu’s usual relaxed expression; he’s somehow become irritated, right?

Pray, pray, Shinji, that Rebuild Kaworu has anime Kaworu’s characterization and that it’s not manga Kaworu descending from the heavens, impaling things with his lance, with a “Bitch, I know you did not cheat on me!” look on his face.
