Since I can't post summaries or such anymore I'll just put forth some of my thoughts about v9.
I often see people say it's an Ichinose-centered volume, and they are right. Though it's a bit more mixed than just a simple: Ichinose gets a volume like Kei got with v4 or v7. Spoiler for v9 random thoughts:

For what it seems, Kiyotaka knows he can be a frightening guy but at the same time he's looking for a way to let all that aside and get a normal life. Maybe all what he's doing in the school is to achieve that goal, being a normal guy but the circumstances are pushing him to keep using his abilities in a despicable way, at least he can really see his own problems and trauma reflected on other people's lifes.
Maybe at the end of the day the same people he use for his own benefit are the ones allowing him to grow and face his problems. I expect some serious developments on future volumes showing a more "human" side, we got a glimpse of that with Kei's arc and v9. |

As for the parts of your post and LG-MAX 2.o's post that I quoted, it reflects exactly what I was saying the other day. Quote:
However, the moment he abandons someone he genuinely considered a friend or comrade, is the moment all of his character development up to now becomes pointless.

The sentences below are examples where the ending can tell us more about the speaker. Translating this to English can be a challenge. Everything below can be translated as simply: "Hey, what do you mean?" Quote:
I've done that myself so I know how easy it is to just forget to add "she/he said" to make it clear who said what. Some translators do put the character speaking in parenthesis to make it clear though.

Speaking of being a contradicting character, I would say Kiyopon is essential being EMIYA. As much as he hates to do what he hate to do, but he had to do it out with necessity to fulfill his own end. Just like EMIYA, who had to scheme all his way to erase his own younger naive self's existence.
Come to think of it... Spoiler:

According to some spoilers, in the vol 9 Hashimoto says that an inexperienced girl would not be able to satisfy 50% since he is very big. |

Personally, this is the funniest scene for me in the story, with the boys' operation to peep on the girls back in vol 4.5 being second.
