1:14 Damn. I just love this scene. Kirei underestimating how powerful the shot is and had to literally pull the bullet off course before it completely penetrates his arm.
Which makes sense since as an Executer, he’d be used to fighting rogue Magi and other supernatural creatures, none of whom would’ve used modern weaponry so Kirei would be unfamiliar with various gun types having various penetration power. Up to then, Kirei had been able to handle Kiritsugu shooting at him due to reinforced bulletproof robes or deflecting the bullet so when Kiritsugu switches to the Thompson, Kirei thinks he can just deflect the bullet like the rest not knowing that the Thompson being a single action rifle would have faster speed and penetration power leading to the bullet puncturing his arm and Kirei just barely moving the bullet out of the way before it kills him
@@plowplum The Thompson is enhanced with origin rounds that do more damage the more mana the target pumps out... Kirei didn't know about this as very few people know origin rounds even exist.
@@astonedcanadian533 After all, Origin Rounds are terrifying for mages and extremely unorthodox since they combine something that would be surely banned from use and modern weapons, which they're inexperienced about.

The blessed thing's healing power is insane throughout F/SN... It cancelled out Gae Bolg's curse, regenerated a heart, regrew Shirou's guts, reapaired a broken arm, allowed Archer to survive being impaled by *a dozen Noble Phantasms*... Only limitations is that it heals from outside to inside (skin > flesh > bones) and can't regrow entire body parts.
And just think. This is their first meeting. They never even saw the other until this fight, but both knew it was coming. One dreading it, and the other excited for it.
That’s such a cool thought, you can tell they knew the meeting would happen but I think internally they both wanted this fight, kiritsugu for justice and kieri for bloodlust against a worthy opponent
Damn this fight is so good that I didn’t even notice. I watched Fate Stay Night first and thought they were gonna be mortal enemies and have numerous encounters throughout Fate Zero but no this is the only time these two interact
I love how Kiritsugu is moving at 3x frantically trying to cut Kirei, and Kirei is calmly using his martial arts skills to deflect his attacks with one arm
This is an intelligent fight, that comprises not only the intellectual capabilities and strategies of combatants, but also their personality and story. Like what you said, very little fights come close to nailing these elements all at once, making this really a standout and unique experience from others
To be completely honest, this is among my least favourite fights in Fate Zero. Though it would have probably been a really cool fight, if I had any sort of investment in it. Both combatants are pretty unlikable people, there's no real personal dynamic between them to speak of and followup would have been negative, regardless which one of them won. As is, it's just pretty cool visuals, but even on that front this show has offered significantly better. Empty garage is a visually drab location, combatants aren't really visually distintive from one another, both being guys with resting bitch faces, dressed in dark drobes and of similar stature, and also couple of these cuts seem a bit rough.
@@joshuabrant3487 realistic, as in superpower fight. In most superpower anime fighting, they tend to explain their technique for whatever reason to their opponent. But this one, they are just having inner monologue and have absolutely no useless conversation, just a pair of pro fighting to their death. So yeah, this is quite a realistic fight for a superpower anime fight.
@Gabriel Damasceno Meurer the point of kiritsugus bullets is to fuck up a mages magic circuits. even kayneths metal thingy couldnt deflect it so thats off the list. i remember reading somewhere that kirei used a command spell to take up the bullets origin instead so it just fucked up a few there instead of his actual magic circuits. the anime itself doesnt really explain every single detail so i thought id just put it out there
What I love about this fight is how each person’s fighting style can be clearly seen. Kirei relies on his black keys to block bullets and for long range attacks, but reverts to bajiquan for close combat, while Kiritsugu relies on his Origin Bullets to kill in the first strike. But when that fails, he uses Time Accel to dodge attacks and quickly reload, keeping his distance with his arsenal of firearms and only closing the distance when he cripples his opponent. And yet, both of them are startlingly similar, in that each of their attacks are meant to kill. Like weapons in human form.
@@mrphauker Real pros don't need words and talk. They already know the mission before entering the room. This what makes this fight a little more special.
@@bilogskii2216 Part of me kinda wished that they had cut out Kiritsugu's inner monologue as well. Unless he's a great ventriloquist, it looks like time alter spells are non-verbal. They show pretty clearly visually when he uses time alter so we didn't necessarily need to hear it. In a similar manner they show pretty much everything else he thinks visually so none of his inner dialogue are really needed. It would be very cool to have a whole fight between two experience fighters where all we hear are the grunts, guns and effects of spells.
obviously the plot demanded Kirei cant die, so despite it would have resulted in an Emiya victory if he kept to long range, he _had_ to go in close so Kirei could survive the fight
@@finshepard6021 "Enhance his magic" Bullshit. Give me the source in which he said that Also Kirei is not strong. He is well trained, and you must be new to Fate if you said he is one of the most strongest human around
They got mana, thought he would be fine, he didn't know about the Origin Bullets effect the more mana u pump the better the Origin bullet will destroy you.
Their rivalry between those two are on different level. it's not just they understand each other intelligence is that they have the same emotions through their heart desires. Their rivalry really worth it to watch.
@@fluthlight7131 Yeah, that’s kind of the whole point, right? Kirei was “born evil” whereas Kiritsugu was “made evil”. It’s kind of odd what the parent comment is going on about. A big part for the series was Kirei misunderstanding Kiritsugu because he didn’t want to be alone anymore

In this fight, Kirei scared the shit out of Kiritsugu at least two time. The first is when Kirei karate chopped Contender's bullet. In the LN, Kirei threw a punch (enhanced by command spell) strong enough to deflect the Origin Bullet. Seeing the bullet change its trajectory send chills down Kiritsugu's spine because Kirei just performed a feat comparable to that of a Dead Apostle. The second one is when Kiritsugu was launching dagger attack at 3 times greater than the speed of a normal human. Seeing Kirei effortlessly block those very fast attack once again terrified Kiritsugu. Meanwhile, Kirei was not even surprise to see Kiritsugu move at double speed
Kirei is powerful but him showing power on the level of a DA was only because of the large number of command seals he had that bullet would have killed him if he did not reinforce himself using command seals sense his own circuits can't reinforce him to that level
This one comment sent me on a two-hour intelligence gathering binge, and I've learned quite a lot about the differing facets of the Fate universe/franchise/timelines, etc. On the one hand: thank you for accidentally introducing me to this. On the other hand: damn you, it's 4 AM now🤣
I like the subtle detail of showing Kiritsugu's face all stressed and veiny during the knife sequence. It implies that he was using his time alter spell to try and stab Kirei without ruining the pacing of the fight.
Also time alter recoil, his body would try to recover from the increased function during time alter and it was said to be very painful, thus Kiritsugu never used more than double accel. It was only possible for him to use triple and square accel because of Avalon and even then the time alter recoil would still affect him and probably still painful as heck
After watching this fight I fell in love with kiritsugus single shot gun and bought one for myself. It’s called a Thompson contender if anyone is interested and in order to get one that looks like his you have to buy an older model. It’s still one of my favorite handguns and makes me feel like a badass so happy I got it.
OMFG, the best season ever created. All the characters are unpredictable (even though it is known how all this will end up), the soundtrack is ridiculously great, the plot makes sense and the execution is amazing.
Kirei really is a monster in hand to hand, Kiritsugu tried to stab him 21 times in this scene (unless I counted wrong) and got blocked every single time by a 1 handed 1 eye-ed Kirei
By lost ,if you mean his fist stop right in front of shirou face? If by lost you mean shirou admitted that if that hit would ha e landed he was dead. If by lost you he lost because he had no heart and died right at" plot" moment you may be correct. But even shirou says he got lucky, and should have lost.....
The servant battles in the fate stay night series are unapparelled in scale but I love when they give us a great 1 one 1 mage battle. Their powers and abilities are so interesting and vast. Kirei and Kiritsugu were some top notch masters.
Top notch masters for sure, but probably also the furthest you could get from a traditional mage compared to all the masters we've ever seen in any Holy Grail War lol.
I watched this years ago, trying to understand what they were going on about while trying to comprehend fate/zero. Nowadays, I am in awe of the frenetic pacing this series was to provide while engulfed in the story of chasing the Holy Grail.
This is one of the best fight scenes ever. And then the scene where Kiritsugu literally implode a whole hotel for a target is awesome in its own right at the same time funny as heck. It became a meme that december with the christmas ell melloi soundtrack.
In a world where servants have literal nukes and laser canons in the shape of swords, this two minutes fight between two humans with no reality marble or meodp bs is the most entertaining and heart wrenching.
I think Kiritsugu vs Kayneth is pretty amazing as well - it was the first scene in Fate/Zero that really made me think "huh, I think there's something to this series after all". Tbh most servant fights are a bit disappointing, because it's basically just two superheroes fighting out with medieval weaponry, but when Kiritsugu has to defeat Kayneth, it's not just about raw power and who has the bigger, badder Noble Phantasm, but rather about cleverness (like Kiritsugu dropping his heartbeat rate and body temp to avoid Volumen Hydragyrum's probes), a trait central to being a mage. I hope Fate series had more of the master vs master scenes because they're much more interesting and nuanced.
At this point, I didn’t care who was right or wrong. I just knew these two were cold blooded, and they brought the most unique fights as humans, with a hint of mage powers. They became instant favorites. There was no explosion magic, just these hands, and that Glock. Great fights and characteristics for these two.
IMO Kotomine was "right" in the sense that even in "real life" we only exist because of conflict, war, conquest... and he's also one of the most perfect example of how a true villain should act. Kiritsugu was not wrong about what he said to Saber, but his goal was kinda retarded and fake. My guy over complicate things to hide the fact that he enjoys killing people and fighting
Don't you just love how the end cards cover the whole screen so you can barely see the video? The old annotations were so bad, you could even press a button to remove them. This new system is so much better.
It may not be as flashy as the fight between saber vs rider and berserker but it's really insane how these humans can fight without some legendary sword that can shoot laser beems .
Fate/Kaleid - Shirou: Dad? Fate/Kaleid - Kirei: I regret to tell you this, but I'm not your father.. Found it really funny when Shirou called his Father's worst enemy, "Dad" in Oath under Snow.
You did a great job of editing the fight. Love the way you took out all the unnecessary dialogue bits and some other parts and managed to make the fight more fast paced and intense because of it.
@@trackernivrig This is the first of the Fate series I watched when I commented. I already watched Fate Stay Night/Rin Route and the trilogy movie, Heaven's Feel/Sakura route.
@@trackernivrig Did you watch Zero first? For me, Heaven's Feel feels like a sequel from Zero. Saber talked about Kiriritsugu. They also talked about Sakura and Rin as sisters which they ignored in Unlimited Blade Works. Also, Kirei and Gilgamesh remember the last war. Again, UBW did not mention the last war and did not address the Matous and the relationship of Rin and Sakura. There's just some semi-hentai and heavy themes in Heaven's Feel than UBW.
Amazing fight from both of them. The comments do good justice to explain the dynamics of the fight. Kirie landed 1 major attack, meanwhile emiya landed 3 major attacks and 1 minor kick. The last knife throw to the leg made it clear that Kirei was going for his last attack, all in nothing left. Which emiya instantly realizes. Also getting ready to finish the kill. Emiya won, he still a way to move and fight. Kirei did not. Even if their last exchange to end the fight, he wouldn’t have anything left in his arsenal. Emiya would understand and not underestimate him, obviously because Kirei is so powerful. He would have finished him off from range, if his kill shot didn’t work at final moment before ceiling collapsed.
I know the in-episode fight did keep cutting to other shots outside of it, but even with those accounted for the video here is shorter than it should be.
the Bajiquan is martial art based around damaging your opponent from the insides. So while we think Kiritsugu is damaging Kirei while Kirei is doing nothing. In reality Kirei is damaging Kiritsugu on the inside. I find this symbolic because Kirei is someone who is empty inside but fulfilled on the outside whereas Kiritsugu has everything to satisfy him internally but he cant stand the world outside him. Kirei was destroying what Kiritsugu had but he didn't and Kiritsugu was destroying what he didn't have but Kirei did.
Such a great fight still. Each was so wary about the other the entire series, and they still didn't know anything about each other to really prepare. Really show cased how much of a threat they were to each other.
both are fighting under the same ground, both have a good capability of using magic and actually kirei is more in advantage because he can move fast and still manage to shield himself with magic while having a good martial arts kiritsugu must keep up with the speed+dodge+ actually having a precision aim and so far he did good
this may actually be my favorite fight in fate. Two sides of the same coin clashing in a battle to the death in the last fight of the war. While rider vs saber and shirou vs gilgamesh may all have better animation and plot importance, the way this fight flows so well and showcases both fighting to their peak capabilities without even needing massive blasts of mana flowing through the sceen, a massive np release that was built up through multiple routes, or the strongest servant in the main series (I know arjuna alter demolishes him and the grands are debatable) losing in one on one combat in the best shirou moment from stay night. No, this fight does it through sheer writing and choreography, absolutely stunning.
I'm surprised anyone would consider Shirou vs Gilgamesh the best Shirou moment in stay night. Pretty sure most agree that goes to Shirou vs kirei or sparks liner high.
@@r.k845 i mean, i consider it his best, miyuverse isnt really stay night and kirei vs shirou was overshadowed by rin vs sakura and rider vs saber just before it imo But yea i see kirei vs shirou being as good
@@Vertix07911 That would be a fault of the movie unfortunately. Amusingly Shirou vs berserker and Shirou vs Kirei were the original big two fight in the HF route. Ufotable strangely ignored these fights despite most people exclusively being hyped for them alone, thus there's a real gap between what people think regarding HF especially. I would suggest looking up the VN Shirou vs kirei fight honestly.
Nah. Really, really nah. He’s pretty much an edgier version of Shirou with less complexity that wears an impenetrable plot armour (I’m not talking about Avalon, I’m talking about his whole absurd backstory and his apparently infinite arsenal).

@@marisakirisame8543 yeah. If they met before Kirei's father's death. Kiritsugu would won at start of the fight.
I like the subtle detail of showing Kiritsugu's face all stressed and veiny during the knife sequence. It implies that he was using his time alter spell to try and stab Kirei without ruining the pacing of the fight.
Never noticed that.
Also time alter recoil, his body would try to recover from the increased function during time alter and it was said to be very painful, thus Kiritsugu never used more than double accel. It was only possible for him to use triple and square accel because of Avalon and even then the time alter recoil would still affect him and probably still painful as heck
After watching this fight I fell in love with kiritsugus single shot gun and bought one for myself. It’s called a Thompson contender if anyone is interested and in order to get one that looks like his you have to buy an older model. It’s still one of my favorite handguns and makes me feel like a badass so happy I got it.
Unfortunately i'm an asian we dont even have an access to the guns here
@@kallenapocalypse7997 that sucks. If you are a good citizen you should have access to guns simple as that.

yeah ufotable might just be the best
OMFG, the best season ever created. All the characters are unpredictable (even though it is known how all this will end up), the soundtrack is ridiculously great, the plot makes sense and the execution is amazing.
Lol no it isn't unless you saw this one specifically
I mean if you watched Zero first then Fate/Stay Night …
Kirei really is a monster in hand to hand, Kiritsugu tried to stab him 21 times in this scene (unless I counted wrong) and got blocked every single time by a 1 handed 1 eye-ed Kirei
And yet he lost a brawl against shirou
@@milten76 この時の綺礼が異常に強いだけ
By lost ,if you mean his fist stop right in front of shirou face? If by lost you mean shirou admitted that if that hit would ha e landed he was dead. If by lost you he lost because he had no heart and died right at" plot" moment you may be correct. But even shirou says he got lucky, and should have lost.....
@@milten76He’s a bum in stay night he’s out of his prime.
The servant battles in the fate stay night series are unapparelled in scale but I love when they give us a great 1 one 1 mage battle. Their powers and abilities are so interesting and vast. Kirei and Kiritsugu were some top notch masters.
Top notch combatant. But incredibly retard as masters.
@@ancy1205 oof
Top notch masters for sure, but probably also the furthest you could get from a traditional mage compared to all the masters we've ever seen in any Holy Grail War lol.
1:31 in this scene without a context u will thought that Kotomine is the main protagonist
I watched this fight on a lot of "best anime fights / top anime fights" and I always thought Kirei was the protagonist
One of the most perfect fight scene I've ever watched in my life.
Had Kirei eaten a bowl of Mapo Tofu before this fight Kiritsugu would be dead for sure
I watched this years ago, trying to understand what they were going on about while trying to comprehend fate/zero. Nowadays, I am in awe of the frenetic pacing this series was to provide while engulfed in the story of chasing the Holy Grail.
And after 10 years this fight is better than many actual anime fights… just UfoGod
I wanted to rewatch the whole thing because of this scene, but I knew that it's appreciated on YT, it's been so long I have even forgot the plot a bit
This is one of the best fight scenes ever.
And then the scene where Kiritsugu literally implode a whole hotel for a target is awesome in its own right at the same time funny as heck. It became a meme that december with the christmas ell melloi soundtrack.
One of the most foreshadowed fights ever.. I think that's why it was so good when it finally happened.
In a world where servants have literal nukes and laser canons in the shape of swords, this two minutes fight between two humans with no reality marble or meodp bs is the most entertaining and heart wrenching.
the only Master vs Master fight scene I like
I think Kiritsugu vs Kayneth is pretty amazing as well - it was the first scene in Fate/Zero that really made me think "huh, I think there's something to this series after all".
Tbh most servant fights are a bit disappointing, because it's basically just two superheroes fighting out with medieval weaponry, but when Kiritsugu has to defeat Kayneth, it's not just about raw power and who has the bigger, badder Noble Phantasm, but rather about cleverness (like Kiritsugu dropping his heartbeat rate and body temp to avoid Volumen Hydragyrum's probes), a trait central to being a mage.
I hope Fate series had more of the master vs master scenes because they're much more interesting and nuanced.

8 years later, and still found this fight is better than 2020 anime in every aspect
Lmao true ufotable is just built different
Ufotable in 2021: this ends after 9
nah go try bleach
Now animes devs are focusing more on breast physics rather than actual fight...
At this point, I didn’t care who was right or wrong. I just knew these two were cold blooded, and they brought the most unique fights as humans, with a hint of mage powers. They became instant favorites.
There was no explosion magic, just these hands, and that Glock. Great fights and characteristics for these two.
IMO Kotomine was "right" in the sense that even in "real life" we only exist because of conflict, war, conquest... and he's also one of the most perfect example of how a true villain should act. Kiritsugu was not wrong about what he said to Saber, but his goal was kinda retarded and fake. My guy over complicate things to hide the fact that he enjoys killing people and fighting
What glock? He's using a Thompson Contender and a Calico M950 which is mysteriously full auto despite being a semi-auto pistol.
Don't you just love how the end cards cover the whole screen so you can barely see the video? The old annotations were so bad, you could even press a button to remove them. This new system is so much better.
Agreed.
It may not be as flashy as the fight between saber vs rider and berserker but it's really insane how these humans can fight without some legendary sword that can shoot laser beems .
I love that you could see the panic on Emiya’s face when he realizes that Kotomine can keep up with him in accelerated time.
Can't believe that this fight was animated in 2011
And yet the animation is godly and even top most of the anime fights
Fate/Kaleid - Shirou: Dad?
Fate/Kaleid - Kirei: I regret to tell you this, but I'm not your father..
Found it really funny when Shirou called his Father's worst enemy, "Dad" in Oath under Snow.
Kirei regrets.
I believe there will never be a better Master battle than this one in the whole of Fate
Makes sense, since these two are individually the most lethal masters we've ever gotten in any HGW.
This is how you fight. Explain in your mind, your opponent already knows how things work
You did a great job of editing the fight. Love the way you took out all the unnecessary dialogue bits and some other parts and managed to make the fight more fast paced and intense because of it.
Shame we don’t get as much of that time accel effect though lol
Do you mean monologue? Cause they literally didn't exchange a single word throughout the entire fight for it to be called a dialogue.
@@jimtsap04 he means the internal monologue
@@trackernivrig even still the internal monologue wasnt unnecessary

This feels more like a Darker than Black fight than a Fate fight and I freaking love it
One of best anime fights, if only it wasn't this short and incomplete ...
If only they didn't kill off Kiritsugu in the sequel. I was expecting a rematch.
@@castle_novelist lol zero is a prequel. Kiritsugu was always going to die.
@@trackernivrig This is the first of the Fate series I watched when I commented.
I already watched Fate Stay Night/Rin Route and the trilogy movie, Heaven's Feel/Sakura route.
@@castle_novelist Ah gotcha. I still haven’t got around to HF, but I definitely will.
@@trackernivrig Did you watch Zero first? For me, Heaven's Feel feels like a sequel from Zero.
Saber talked about Kiriritsugu. They also talked about Sakura and Rin as sisters which they ignored in Unlimited Blade Works.
Also, Kirei and Gilgamesh remember the last war.
Again, UBW did not mention the last war and did not address the Matous and the relationship of Rin and Sakura.
There's just some semi-hentai and heavy themes in Heaven's Feel than UBW.

One of the best fight scenes in the anime world 🙌🏻
These two, these men. They are the peak of characters.
Eh idk, Kirei maybe but in terms of who is better written, Kiritsugu is not at the top
probably the only one who thinks this but I think kariya is a very great character as well
The build up to this fight was monumental!!and it delivered.
UNPOPULAR OPINION - this is and always will be my favourite fight from Fate/Zero
Yea, unpopular. Is not like there are hundreds of comments saying the same thing.
@@sunmal1599 ik
Everyone know this fight is iconic in the whole fate franchise. Pretty popular and loved.
When u look at their eyes their like depressed or sad and i can understand that for kerry
Amazing fight from both of them. The comments do good justice to explain the dynamics of the fight.
Kirie landed 1 major attack, meanwhile emiya landed 3 major attacks and 1 minor kick.
The last knife throw to the leg made it clear that Kirei was going for his last attack, all in nothing left.
Which emiya instantly realizes. Also getting ready to finish the kill.
Emiya won, he still a way to move and fight. Kirei did not. Even if their last exchange to end the fight, he wouldn’t have anything left in his arsenal.
Emiya would understand and not underestimate him, obviously because Kirei is so powerful.
He would have finished him off from range, if his kill shot didn’t work at final moment before ceiling collapsed.
0:40 in short summary, cracked all torso related bones and ruptured all internal organs, time till recovered- never. He’s definitely dea- what?
I think he used avalon to heal his wounds
@@mastergamer5972 You didn't think.
He did use the avalon. I just finished the anime and that was Kiritsugu's internal process
He survives cuz he has skill issue
So glad I watched Fate Zero before Stay Night. Years ago I watched the second part of Higurashi before the first, and it was pretty confusing.
LUTA MAIS ESPETACULAR DE TODOS OS TEMPOS CARA
I know the in-episode fight did keep cutting to other shots outside of it, but even with those accounted for the video here is shorter than it should be.
Antichrist vs John Wick frfr
the Bajiquan is martial art based around damaging your opponent from the insides.
So while we think Kiritsugu is damaging Kirei while Kirei is doing nothing.
In reality Kirei is damaging Kiritsugu on the inside.
I find this symbolic because Kirei is someone who is empty inside but fulfilled on the outside whereas Kiritsugu has everything to satisfy him internally but he cant stand the world outside him.
Kirei was destroying what Kiritsugu had but he didn't and Kiritsugu was destroying what he didn't have but Kirei did.
Such a great fight still. Each was so wary about the other the entire series, and they still didn't know anything about each other to really prepare. Really show cased how much of a threat they were to each other.
To everyone from the future...Fate/Zero was an anime that was years ahead of its time.

Hands down my favourite fight from the franchise
both are fighting under the same ground, both have a good capability of using magic and actually kirei is more in advantage because he can move fast and still manage to shield himself with magic while having a good martial arts
kiritsugu must keep up with the speed+dodge+ actually having a precision aim
and so far he did good
One of the best fight in anime ever.
As much as I love the servant fights in fate, the fights between mages are just so awesome
2 minutos fueron suficientes hacer estas una de las mejores peleas de la anterior decada
Both one of the shortest and most goated fights in anime history. Remembered this out of the blue and had to watch it immediately
this may actually be my favorite fight in fate. Two sides of the same coin clashing in a battle to the death in the last fight of the war. While rider vs saber and shirou vs gilgamesh may all have better animation and plot importance, the way this fight flows so well and showcases both fighting to their peak capabilities without even needing massive blasts of mana flowing through the sceen, a massive np release that was built up through multiple routes, or the strongest servant in the main series (I know arjuna alter demolishes him and the grands are debatable) losing in one on one combat in the best shirou moment from stay night. No, this fight does it through sheer writing and choreography, absolutely stunning.
I'm surprised anyone would consider Shirou vs Gilgamesh the best Shirou moment in stay night.
Pretty sure most agree that goes to Shirou vs kirei or sparks liner high.
@@r.k845 i mean, i consider it his best, miyuverse isnt really stay night and kirei vs shirou was overshadowed by rin vs sakura and rider vs saber just before it imo
But yea i see kirei vs shirou being as good
@@Vertix07911 That would be a fault of the movie unfortunately.
Amusingly Shirou vs berserker and Shirou vs Kirei were the original big two fight in the HF route. Ufotable strangely ignored these fights despite most people exclusively being hyped for them alone, thus there's a real gap between what people think regarding HF especially.
I would suggest looking up the VN Shirou vs kirei fight honestly.

This fight is so good UA-cam’s trying to delete it
Watching since 2012. UA-cam keep removing it.
Kiritsugu best fate character without doubt!
Nah. Really, really nah.
He’s pretty much an edgier version of Shirou with less complexity that wears an impenetrable plot armour (I’m not talking about Avalon, I’m talking about his whole absurd backstory and his apparently infinite arsenal).
Let's wait people getting mad over this opinion.
Yup, it's just depend how a person understand a character and kiritsugu is one of them a very complex character which make people judgemental and hate him. Also, my reason to like.
kiritsugu is my favourite also
@@zzzomitted and how kirei and shirou complex ? They very straight forward character . You even know what complex mean ?
