If that is the case I can see a bit of fridge brilliance as to why the church was able to respond so fast despite the island looking relatively remote |

Posted this in the image thread but since it's on topic and so good, I thought I'd share it here as well.

Yes the anime didn't show enough emotion nor his internal turmoil while shooting, and I would love to see some flashbacks during the scene, but that one scene with his frail smile demonstrated how broken he is afterwards. Does he regret killing his own father afterwards? It's still too soon to tell since there are more to come in terms of flashbacks. It's not just "herp derp you make my girlfriend dead so I have to shoot you". A lot has been laid out in this episode in terms of Kiritsugu's twisted sense of heroism, and I expect more to come in future episodes.

The reaction that Kiritsugu had when he first made his decision is incredibly ambiguous, which makes it all the more interesting to see if (when?) it is revealed. |

Just realised something. Compare with Madoka Magica
Spoiler for spoilers for the series:
However Kiritsugu wasn't able to muster the strength to do so, and his path becomes a lot more torturous. He has no one to respond to, he cannot pay back the debt he owes, and his life becomes about salvaging what's left of him, whether it be clinging on to his empty ideals or the fact that he's still alive. Did he treat Shirley's words as promises? How much of an impact did those lines have on him? Again, I probably need the full picture before I can make a proper assessment. We know that he turned out bad after his time with his teacher, and I just want to know what happened there.

If Kiritsugu is feeling guilt over not killing Shirley, I can see he still hasn't completely lost "the boy" in him. Actually, I think I can now see him as one big boy regardless even with all the pragmatism. An angry and frustrated big boy. Maybe this is what made Iri drawn to him...
Btw it got me thinking. The Executioner of course would want Emiya dead, but what about the Mage's Association? Did they want him dead too? Wouldn't his research regarded as valuable by them? Or is research regarding Dead Apostles regarded taboo even among Mage's Association? Speaking of which, Kiritsugu didn't inherit the Emiya magic crest, did he?

Well, this was a good episode. Really great execution to show the downfall of Kiritsugu. The only thing I'm not happy about is the fact that Shirley drank that potion of her own free will. Her admiration for Noritaka's work seems, imo, hardly enough reason. It would have been better if Noritaka had actually been using her as a guinea pig.

Having someone like Nasu come up with the premise and Urobuchi spelling it out... Urobuchi really was the perfect person to write Zero. No one else could have done it.

I doubt Shirley knows what that drug actually do, she probably think it's something that will be beneficial to the human body, an elixir. Though just like any other medicine if you don't get the dose and component correct you can still kill yourself with anything, let along something that haven't even been animal tested. As smart as she is, I doubt she understood the complications.
