* Commander Watari had such a seemingly sinister-looking appearance- all black dress and a translucent EyePatchOfPower over a functional eye, despite actually being a friendly, quirky guy. While I'm sure some of it has to do with the kind of public face he wants to present, but more than that, it has to do with ''[=RahXephon=]'' being an optimistic take-off on ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. Watari is the Gendo Itkari equivalent [[spoiler: particularly given that he is Ayato's father- Ayato's mother is the cold, villainous one of the two]], and so his eye patch substitutes for Gendo's creepy shades, but his personality couldn't be more different.

** Actually, considering that Ayato's mother [[spoiler: - or rather, his aunt ]] - is present from the beginning, it's more likely that Watari isn't the ''[=RahXephon=]'' counterpart to Gendo, but rather, the ''[=RahXephon=]'' counterpart [[spoiler: to ''Yui Ikari'', albeit having been SparedByTheAdaptation]]. After all, [[spoiler: Yui is stated to be kinder than Gendo even before the latter became cold due to her death, and Ayato's mother/aunt is still very cold despite Watari still being alive]].
