Indeed. I personally find it somewhat baffling that he's above Caster and tied with Lancer when the latter ones have received so much more exposure and characterisation. Berserker is a seemingly strong and cool looking fighter with potential, but we still know next to nothing about him as a character at this point in the game. I guess he's where all those "too much dialogue, needs more action" detractors' votes went, since he seems to be basically incapable of speech and has done nothing but fight.

I would have agreed at the start of the show, but Kariya certainly doesn't appear to be all that innocent any more after the hell he's suffered at the hands of Zouken and at the cost of maintaining Berserker, which appear to have brought to the surface a much less admirable inner motivation of his, with his priorities seemingly shifting somewhat from "Saving Sakura" to "Spiting Tokiomi".

Not that I'm judging or condemning him for it. It makes him all the more interesting as a character to me. Like his Servant though, his limited screen time makes him come up short when compared to some of the other Masters thus far. But I feel there's a good chance I'll be voting for him in the 2nd poll after the end of the story rather than at its halfway point.
