His choice is like a psychopath just like his voice. 100% agreed i loved the last 2 episodes (in fact i loved every single episode of this season), but idk.... this 1 particular thing, his reasoning etc. for actually killing his "mother", a person so close to him... for total strangers.. without being completely certain that others wouldve actually died... i found that weak ! shirley + natalia really like(d) these 2 characters kiritsugu (a character i wouldve usually liked), not so much ! idk why.. but i cant stand him (+ he had lancer commit suicide, fu! (btw.. lancers death-scene was epic) Because these two episodes weren't done well. You get to see how broken Kiritsugu is as a person in the novels. And no he can't save Natalia and destroy the plane once it lands at an airport. BloodRequiem said: Romeo said: wigglejelly said: Why not save her and kill all the zombies instead ?

| good episode and the art in his show continues to amaze me |
 |
| Well its nice to see his past and I know everyone takes things differently but I don't think his past was so disturbing as to him to think that every bad guy should be killed because the only true enemy in the village was his father after that they were zombies so the church and mages had to kill lifeless people including Natalia so I don't understand his call to justice. Also there are people that have experienced far worse life altering things in their life that truly grants for revenge not a freak accident of zombies started by your own dad. |

| No I meant Natalia was one of the people who killed the village people when they were zombies nothing makes her different than the mages,and executioners? In fact she works for both sides |

The executioners and mages would've killed Kerry because he's a witness (mages), or a possible dead apostle threat or something(Church) Though correct me if I am wrong |

Yep. He already had a sealing designation and was being hunted down. |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
Sayuri said: Really didn't see the point in interrupting Holy Grail War drama with 2 episodes of Kiritsugu's past. It's not like they're opinion-changing episodes, showing that Kiritsugu had a tragic childhood that would explain him being so cold and cruel in the present; even as a kid he was already a ruthless bastard. Two unecessary episodes, IMO. Failed attempts at making him a likeable character. Yeah that was the point.*facepalm* |
| That. Was freaking. Masterful. 5/5 Tempted to give this show a 10 if it can keep this up. Amazing T_T I swear, these two episodes could be a standalone OVA and would still be amazing. |

 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| This was actually a quite epic episode I like these back story episodes for a reason! Really great dramatic story with an even sadder ending, I do think we're going back after this episode to the main story line! But if not I'm sure to enjoy either of both! |

Wow, didn't know that. Thanks for clearing that up. Yep. Airliners generally crash land in the water, and for that they provide life preservers and exit slides. It would be too much of a risk to try and jettison 300 people out of a crashing plane when they have no experience. |
| Well that sucks, loses his whole life as an innocent child then loses the chick that trains him and shows him a new way of life... Not that I didn't enjoy the flash backs but kind of glad it will get back to normal fighting after this episode ... I think. |
 |
| That was... so sad.. *sniff* |
| A really powerful episode. His past is really interesting. |

| Kerry kills his dad, then he kills ,what felt like to me, his mother...:( |

wailofthebanshee said: The story of How I Became Edgy continues. If this was real life Kiritsugu would've missed horrendously and made a fool out of himself. Aiming at the middle of the plane like that isn't going to work. If by some miracle he had hit, a small gun like that probably couldn't even have breached the hull, much less kill the person who's flying the plane. I think there's something called heat-seeking missiles, also if a bird can make planes crash (being sucked into the turbines), a missile should be able to also - and the gasoline in planes are usually stored in the middle, where the missile hit, hence the bigg ass explosion. |

| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Was I the only one who thought she could have landed the plane, shot threw the window and escaped then he blow up the plane in some remote area? It's sad but im pretty sure this could have been avoided. >___> |

| What an intense episode. |
 |
| and at end he kill natalia too -_- oh kiritsu.. |
Lyne said: a weird mother's day special from fate/zero 2 agreed :/ |
| This episode had them feels. I really feel so sad after watching it. |
 |
| So much emotions... T_T The best episode in this season so far. Natalia's last smile was symbolic in a way. It is as if Natalia said, "Good job, my son." |

| This episode made the backstory okayish, but I still don't like this silly pandering with the zombies/vampires/ghouls or whatever the hell they are. |
HATUL300 said: This episode made the backstory okayish, but I still don't like this silly pandering with the zombies/vampires/ghouls or whatever the hell they are. Because its a freaking multiverse of alternate timelines and alternate dimensions. And what's half the reason multiverses exist in fiction in the first place? Yep to see cameos and concepts from other parts of multiverse. Which is a given considering the original VN, which this is a prequel to, told its story in bits separated in three different timelines covering the three equally canon variations of same event. |
 |
| Wow, learning about Kiritsugu's past was totally interesting and worthwhile in my opinion. I wonder if Kiritsugu will win the Grail and end his suffering. |
| grat episode totally worth exploring his past just awesome *-* |
 |
| A lot of backstory for him. Great episode. 5/5 |

And the guy who wrote this(Urobuchi or something like that i think) is really a bad writer, he probably thinks like this: "Let's make this scene and then let's make the worst case scenario happen, where everyone dies the worst way possible". That's not good writing to me. He did it with the village, did it with lancer(he had to die i know, but could have been killed by Saber with honor at least) and now with this plane... Oh poor you.Then according to you most ancient poets,if not all are really bad. Yoor preferred writing=/=good writing.Also if you had ANY idea about the world of Fate/ you would know that Urobuchi doesnt even compare with Kinoko Nasu ,creator of Fate/ and other series. |

I read the first 2 pages and the last 2, i'm not going to read 20+ pages obviously. What i'm saying is that if the only way he can do his stories look "good" or interesting is by killing characters to shock audience then he isn't a good writer. And Natalia could be easily saved by landing the plane, getting out and then he would blow up the plane but Urobuchi just wanted to go with the worst option. No she couldnt "easily" be saved.GO read some of those 20+ pages.No nott even that.The ep itself spells it out for you that what you say CANT happen. And you are the one to decide what makes a good writer, based on 3 scenes where 2 were decided before he even took the job or writing it? If you disregard EVERYTHING else(and these is what you are doing),like char interactions,development and then focus on the shock value, that isnt bad if it isnt the only thing,and FZ has more than just shock value,then you cant complain for anything. |
Korangi said: As far as i know, i can give my opinion here and that's what i did, so i don't understand why are you trying to change it or make it look wrong. I read some more pages and i still don't see how she couldn't be saved... planes are totally sealed so zombies(and bees) couldn't get out, she could leave fast through the cockpit and he would blow it right after. But i get that Kiritsugu didn't want to risk repeating what happened before. And about Urobuchi i based myself in Suisei no Gargantia and Madoka Magica too not only in that 3 scenes, i just don't like Urobuchi. Because he always goes for the worse things, like it will make stories better as i said earlier and some of them even were unnecessary to the plot. But i'm not saying i don't like the rest of Fate/Zero, i'm liking it a lot and will probably rate it 9 or 10 when i finish watching. I just don't like unnecessary kills for shock value. 1. use fucking spoilers.Not all see every series out there.Especially one that barely ended airing. 2.Both in Madoka and FZ it was necessary. And Natalia said that she doesnt have experience to land it much less CRASH land it,and Kiritusgu would have to pass airport security to be able to hit the plane.Unless airport in USA are nonexistent. The door was barely hanging.One free bee is all that is needed to repeat a nightmare. |

The deaths are there for more than just shock value. You need to explain why Urobuchi's works are worse just because they are dark and more cynical. I know that if I criticized something like Gurren Lagan for being too upbeat I would never hear the end of it from other people, and rightfully so. Works should be judged on the quality of the plot and characters, not dismissed because the show "goes for the worst things". |
