I think Rikiya Koyama has done as great job as Kiritsugu all the way. This was definitely his moment to shine and he did a stellar job with it, but even as the emotionally subdued Kiritsugu, he's had a very nicely nuanced performance, the kind of which where you can still sense the character's suppressed feelings underneath. His melancholy during his parting with Illya, his frustration towards Saber's chivalry getting in the way of his plans, his enmity towards honorable types like Lancer, etc. have all been subtly discernible in his skillful delivery.
But then again, the same goes for basically all of the cast. Top tier voice acting is yet another one of the key ingredients that make F/Z such a remarkable show.
