In the original version Kira swung the sword towards Blitz and his reaction after Nicol's death made perfect sense, it's an important moment when Kira realizes what he has become. But now when Kira has that reaction it doesn't have the same effect. Now it looks like he is just chewing the scenery (overacting).

In the original series, (we'll probably see it next episode) someone pointed out that Kira has killed before. Well now, there's a difference. In all his previous kills, Kira had actively fired or swung his weapon. With the change, that is not the case in Nichol's death. So not only is Kira confronted with killing Athrun's friend, but in killing him even when he didn't intend to.
In the original series, no matter what anyone say, Kira still made the decision to swing his sword towards Blitz. Now, he didn't, but it still cost a life. His reaction, I think, would make more sense now.
EDIT: Ah, sorry for the double post.
