Whenever Kiritsugu does something:

Literally everyone: y tho?

This backstory has been hot garbàge honestly. Some stupid zombie outbreak that wasn't established at all happens because a nosy girl secretly took Magician papa's bad medicine. And then the kid shoots his father dead cause hurr durr how dare you indirectly kill my waifu! And then he gets all hardened and becomes a moral utilitarian computer (and a faulty one at that). Fuck all they had to do was gas the plane through the vent in the cockpit after successfully landing.

Why didn't they just used pesticide spray to kill those bees? She would have been able to land safely and get out through the cockpit window and go back to kill those ghouls right?

Oh my, it wasn't over... The backstory got even more tragic, unfortunately.

It's a big NO from me this episode. I genuinely wish I had not watched this or the previous episode. Way too much horror for my liking and frankly - I didn't sign up to this. Why on earth is this series not tagged as horror?! Horror/gore stuff aside - I also don't particularly care about this side plot - it seems like they are just padding to fill 13 episodes. You could genuinely just lift these two episodes from the series and almost nothing would be affected. I still don't really like Kiritsugu.

At least we're back to the actual story next episode. We haven't really seen Rider in ages. But these last two episodes definitely will knock at least a point off whatever I end up giving this series. It's a shame cos the first 4 episodes were like a 9/10 for me.

This is why Emiya is wrong. Killing his mother figure just because of zombie infected people on an airplane is plain wrong. Kirei would have handled it better

He should have allowed the plane to land and let the zombies go and then after rescuing his mom, should have killed her.

This is why you should take up skydiving.

So confused by this episode, both Kiritsugu and Natalia free lance assassin, who should be able to adapt to any situation, yet in this episode no thinking was done. Natalie started contemplating her life instead of assessing the situation and Kiritsugu for some reason just completely gave up on the last person that he cared for in his life. There were other options in this situations, probably one off the simplest ones being, just land the god dam plane on water, it won't be that much harder then land considering you only need enough time to escape yourself, there are no other passengers that need saving...

It was a truly an emotional scene, but it felt like this plot was being forced on to me so the story could progress the way the writer wanted :(. What a waste of a interesting backstory.

I thought it was an o.k. flashback episode up until the twist. I was ready to throw my computer out the window until Kiritsugu explained his reasoning for shooting down the plane. I already had a feeling that Natalia wasn't going to make it, but not like that.

Also, does anyone else think Kiritsugu's reasoning for killing Natalia is a little flawed?

I guess Kiritsugu will never forgive himself for letting Shirley live after she begged him to kill her. It was because of Shirley that the entire island was lost so he doesn't want to repeat the same mistake. Where was the plane landing, New York right?; imagine if those bees had escaped the plane.

Besides, I can't see how would Natalia escape the plane without being bitten by one of those bugs
Break The cockpit window and jump out,I guess

There's not much difference in the way of life he holds and the heroism he oppose, other than the ability to weigh a mortal's lives. He's still a hero. Who do things differently

How dare he? How could he? They could have just broken the cockpit to get Natalia out after landing then blew up the plane. This is so sad.

Kiritsugu in a bed.
The Origin scene.
Natalia.
Odd Vorzak. A Dead Apostle?
Kiritsugu starts smoking.
Natalie killed Vorzak?
Oh shit! Vorzak had the bees in his body!
Natalia is in the cockpit.
Kiritsugu has a rocket launcher.
He fired.
Dat explosion. Natalia is dead.
Dem tears.
Dat ending.

It's the fact that after Kiritsugu hit his hand on the ambulance, everything he did with a straight face while talking to Natalia was to just blow up the plane.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

The reasoning is retarded. There's always parachutes on planes and even if there wasn't Natalia could have broken the cockpit front glass and jumped out. Kiritsugu would have been able to catch her and then blow up the plane. Natalia could have also flown the plane down and let it fly above the water straight, broken the glass and then jumped into the water with some kind of floating device and then Kiritsugu can blow up the plane. There are so many options to how Natalia could have survived. Retarded logic.

Natalia ;(

Man... this episode was so fucking sad. I cried so much over this episode. What a great way to tell a backstory. I loved Natalia so fucking much. She was so cool and badass and really was a mother figure to Kiritsugu. Such an awesome character just died like that. She came in like that, became my favorite character in this show, and went like a queen. I'll miss you, Natalia. You were a great mom. T__T RIP.

Boring and predictable. She should've just jumped with a parachute if they actually prepared or something. I mean, they're assassins right? I just want to get back to the fight and stop wasting time

People complaining about kuritsugu being a dumbass, but if he let her land there is a high risk of the bees getting out and infecting the whole airport, so he had to do what he had to

Woow that was a strong episode. Kiritsugu is a strong man, and I want to give him a hug, I think he needs it

Santa Claus? Are you dumb? There's no way something like that could... Huh? There's going to be coal in my stockings this year? W-wait! Let's discuss this! I'm sure there's some possibility that Santa is real!

so this is what they meant when they said he blew up a whole plane because one passenger was on board. now it actually makes more sense.
also there are some spectacularly stupid posts itt.

Jesus, that was fucked. I wonder if we'll get to see some of his life with Irisviel, that would be hella interesting, but I am also pretty content with Kiritsugu's story now. He's a pretty tragic figure, but I can't really see the point where things went wrong. He just seems like he'd be fucked in any era. Like if he was around when Saber alive, they probably would've been enemies. It's like she said, they can't really work with one another anymore. I really don't know how they're going to resolve Saber and Kiritsugu being diametrically opposed enemies, but I hope it's good.

This was one of the best episodes of anime i've ever watched. I absolutely love it. The missile scene was fantastic, and it gave a massive insight into Kiritsugu's character. Perfect.
- Ive heard people say he was an asshole for the missile, those people should sit down and think about how dumb they are

Wow he just killed his father and his 'mother' man's been through a lot now i can truly understand why his eyes look dead all the time.

 
I remember when they said on ep 1 that he once destroyed a plane because his target was on it. There is always a story behind it.

F for Natalia but Kerry is such a tragic yet strong for what he's been through and now i see what the whole destroying the plane just to kill his target like it's just god damn depressing left and right front and down for this man + his mental breakdown was messed up and i'm probably too cause when he''s crying his eyes out his literal eyes were so big it made me laugh for a sec please XD

I just don't understand why he blowed the plane, i mean she had a better chance of surviving if she just landed the plane on water. and if she was lucky enough to stay alive, he can come pick her up with the boat.
