My friend and I are having a disagreement about the fundamental nature of Kiritsugu's character.
He says "Kiritsugu was a normal kid who spent the rest of his life in a self-destructive spiral because the shame he felt over the Shirley incident completely destroyed him as a person."
I consider that a misreading of his character. I feel that there's a fundamental part of himself that enjoys killing, and he would have gone down the same road as an adult no matter what.
Who do you agree with more, me or my friend? I'm a pretty big Fate/Zero fan, so I'm always open to friendly conversation about the series.

Probably the latter. Kirutsugu has a sadistic streak in him - he quite enjoys killing mages - and he has a tendency to assume the fastest route is the right one, viz. him killing his mentor instead of just letting the plane land and her breaking out of a viewport.

I'd prefer you posted this on reddit.

I strongly agree. Very interesting thoughts there.
Just a little bit rude, my man.

>enjoys killing Really? I'm not sure, Kiritsugu just does what his ideals set him up to do. If he had the choice of saving three people without killing then he would take it, because he's saving them all, if he had to kill one to save two then he would kill one, but that doesn't mean he enjoys killing the one.

It's the first one. He spents a good few years with the Einzberns. His wish would clash too hard with the urge to kill. If he was like that he'd accepted the grail. This is what sets Kiritsugu apart from Kotomine.
In any case Archer and Shirou are better.
If the plane landed the risks of the insects escaping would be far too high. That's why they had to blow it up.

It's not like I have all that many...

Seems more like the former to me, though it's a bit more complicated than that. If he enjoyed killing he wouldn't have had his "oh god my philosophy sucks dick" moment at the end.
