Subtle character development is a fine art, as well as one not often seen in anime, and I would say Kiritsugu has been a very good example of it. Now, that's not to say this episode didn't help deepen his character, but it certainly wasn't necessary to "make" him.

Yeah, I agree the subtle nuances from the first season did a lot as well, but something more direct like this is nice too. All the screen time other characters get sometimes makes you forget Kiritsugu is supposed to be the main character, which until this episode was sometimes lost due to the lack of narration, even though I prefer it this way.
