Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks.

2019-01-29 01:32:49 +0000 UTCBelow is my take on the Kirei-Kiritsugu situation. Kirei sees himself as empty. He can only find pleasure in the suffering of others. By his own moral code he recognizes this as evil, so all his life he has shut that side of him away and tried searching for a means to be happy by "good" means. This futile search is what Kiritsugu sees in episode 1 ("This man has never once known passion"). He sees that Kirei has jumped from path to path, almost mastering a subject and then jumping to another one without looking back. The fact that someone like him was chosen by the Grail is what terrifies him, and makes him single him out from the other masters. From Kirei's perspective, when he sees the report on Kiritsugu he misunderstands and thinks he's someone like him. He realizes that he didn't provide his mercenary services for any sort of monetary gain (the risk-reward aspect would be way of if that was the case) and thinks that he has been in a similar search for answers as he has. And, since he seemingly settled down after meeting the Einzberns he then thinks that maybe he finally found his answers. This is is why he really wanted to meet him, because if Kiritsugu found his answers then maybe he could to? In this episode however, Iri completely shatters his picture of him. In fact he turns out to be the completely opposite of Kirei in a sense. Unlike Kirei Kiritsugu is fully capable of loving, of enjoying "regular" things, of living a normal life. In that sense he has everything Kirei lacks and desperately wants, but deliberately chose a lifestyle similar to the one Kirei had to choose. And, he did it for ideals that Kirei considers utterly childish and unrealistic. Kirei gets kind of ticked off at this, kind of like how a blind person who desperately wants sight might feel towards someone born with sight who blinded themself for what they perceive to be a nonsensical reason.
