In Universe 66.. The crew of Wunder were stunned to see NERV's latest weapon: A series of towers called Towers of Babel, scattered throughout the planet. Each capable of destroying countries, they were powered by a mixture of what remained of Human tech, Atlantean tech and Adam-based tech. They were pressured to destroy all of them because should one of them remain, it will spell their doom.
+Don von Frustratio In Z3, Kaworu survives to the end. In fact, most of 3.0's plot has already happened by the time it gets introduced. Then they're all like "Oh yeah...them. Better put aside our differences for now, I guess."
I imagine that "no plot" is how SRW is going to handle 3.33/Q for the foreseeable future. I believe that's what they said would be the case for the movie in SRWV next year, too, along with Hathaway's Flash, Steel Seven, and the Mazinger Zero manga stuff.
