In terms of her role in the large plot, she's more important than any of those three. Those who know what the Einzbern bring to the war will know what I'm talking about. Kariya has a lot of personality. Sadly he lacks screen time since they cut down some of his scenes. He'll be everywhere in next cour, though.

To quote episode 11: "The king does not make sacrifices. We are heroes because we are tyrants." Part of his self-centered ideology still exists today. Unlike Saber, he believes in tyrannical rule and rejects the concept of altruism. Quote:

And okay, so Iri foils the others, but so do Rider and Waver, or Kayneth and Lancer. But at least either person from both duos didn't get overtaken by the personality of the other (but whether I like Waver or Kayneth is a different story).

Nasuverse =/= True take of legends or history. Or is King Arthur a 14 years old moe girl? I didn't think so.
Rider IS Iskandar Nasuverse style. He is not really short, bishounen or bitchy or cares about history books. He is pretty much the closest of a shounen hero Fate/Zero has. Hell, Gilgamesh is the BEST RULER EVER in the epic (after he wises up), but in Nasuverse he destroyed his own kingdom which is against his portrayal in the legend. Please don't bring real stuff into Nasuverse. Quote:
Quote:
He means with 'sacrifices' is that he doesn't hold back in his lust and greed for life itself. He doesn't bottle up stuff like Saber does. He has to give an EXAMPLE to his people, because they will copy him. Actually, similar like Saber. Except instead of destroying his humanity like Arturia did, he embraced it fully. Only that in his case it worked. It worked so well that his defeated enemies abandoned everything to join him. Saber's all about denial, of the good and the bad of being a person. Rider's all about excess, of the good and the bad. Although both are portrayed on the good scope mostly. They are foils. They are both very idealistic characters, with a different set of dreams that in essence are good, yet to maintain them means sometimes to go warring. If you want me to give you spoilers of specific selfless actions he makes, yet in his POV aren't sacrifices, I can PM you. Quote:
Of course it's her fault. It was a consequence of how she chose to rule. Do you think that didn't affect her? She felt that she failed so badly even her son (which was the closest she had) turned against her. That makes her all more tragic. It wasn't just the kingdom, but her own blood that wanted to kill her. ...When has Iri's personality been overtaken by Saber, Kiritsugu or Maiya? In all the times she's on screen, she easily pushes herself as dominant personality.

I'm not saying that I dislike her character. I'm saying she wasn't as memorable as most of the others.

Irisviel is loving (and lovable) and perky (her keen curiosity about the outside world she never experienced certainly does stand out as becomes the basis of some of the scenes for Team Emiya). There's more than that, I suppose comparing her to the other wives or Master's love interests, she's the only one who isn't only devoted and understanding (unlike Sola), but also intelligent and strong (what Aoi isn't). Also, unlike them, she has a very important role in the war.

And I'm not discounting her role in the series, because regardless of the importance of her story, she as a character is just not someone I find as memorable as the rest of the cast.

We'll have to agree to disagree.
Changing subjects: Does anyone have the female poll of Newtype this month? Spoiler for The male characters one:
Congratulations Rider, Lancer and Waver. Last month I remember Saber placed first in the female character poll. Kiritsugu, Rider and Waver were in the top ten in the male one. Fate/Zero was ranked after Madoka as second in the Anime show list.

Knowing Japan's tastes, I half-expect Rin to be in the top 10 because of her loli-service episode alone.
Still, pleasant surprise to see Rider take 1st place among the males. Pretty rare to see a non-bishie character get there, especially one as astoundingly manly as Iskandar. |

I know. He's not a typical angsty or bitchy bishounen they would vote for. It's a miracle. I guess his Rank A charisma transcends the four wall.

The endearing affection to Kira and Lelouche... well, they are some good protagonists anyways (Kira until Destiny came along...)
Fate/Zero with 3 Chars in the ranking... SUCCESS A bit a surprised that Lancer got in there to me.... thought I'd see Kiritsugu instead.

Kiritsugu was there, but I'm guessing these votes are affected from what happened in episodes 9-11, where Kiritsugu was being either a jerk or nonexistent.
Nah, Lancer clicks all the buttons for the average voter in Newtype: he's an angsty bishounen. I was expecting him to be there after episode 9 aired.

Yay I'm happy that Fate/Zero got great reception in Japan! Ah, people really love those Waver/Rider duo! I wonder how the female one goes, somehow I got the feeling that Saber and Irisviel will be on top
Here's a Fate/Zero character popularity contest in a shop that shown in seventhstyle post. The dots behind the picture is the votes and command seals represents favourite teams: Spoiler for votes:
It seems that the favourite team is Waver/Rider. For characters, with rough glance from me Saber is the winner, followed closely either by Gilgamesh, Lancer or Rider. Surprisingly Kariya is the second favourite master behind Waver, even with the less screentime compared with other masters. Even Tokiomi in the basement scenes have a lot more screentime than him. |

Wouldn't be so sure about Irisviel's+Saber's triumph in the master/servant convo, other polls have Rider and Waver in there, but Iri is tragically absent. Waver and Rider seem to be the breakout duo in Japan. Edit: Btw, if people wanted a visualization of scenes involving Kariya Suffering the Anime cut. Here, from the manga: Spoiler for not for the squeamish:

This time I definitively can give my vote to Saber, finally I saw why she is loved so much. Saber please stay away from Shirou! He'll ruin you beyond repair!
And I love her in suit! Makes me wish that she was a guy Gilgamesh was more fun too, don't like him much when he gets all mighty and stuff but it is very cool to see his manipulative side. Loved Berserker's entrance, want more! Kariya, poor guy. I feel so bad for him. I like his dedication to Sakura and I also like his design. Kirei, a walking ownage. Wish he would remain that cool in Night series -_- Irisviel, thank you for bringing Saber's best side out to light! Besides she and Saber mage great duo. And it is nice to see her excited side, fell bad what is most likely coming =/ Duno why some people complain about her not standing out, I thinks she stands out a lot because she gets excited by almost everything. If she were to be another cool strong female with gun, she would most likely get lost among all the characters. Special owner gets Rider, he had some really cool scenes and looks like he is dominating the poll.
