Hello! Here at NightcoreProxy we typically only focus on creating #nightcore as our name suggests, but we all love all things anime too & stumbled upon your channel, as we are watching all of what the "Fate Franchise," has to offer & we LOVE what we've seen so far, but we wanted to know a bit more of the origins & paths that some of the key characters of the franchise took to get to who they are in the shows/movies. So thank you so much for doing these character analysis videos!! They've been very insightful & enjoyable to watch. You've definitely gained a new subscriber!! -NightcoreProxy

[@JeSt4m]

He did not want someone to understand him He want someone to reject him because he cannot accept the fact that he's born broken. As someone who cannot find joy and detached from normal things he set his hopes on Kerry that seems to be discarding things as if he doesn't care about those to be similar to him. Yet kerry is not like him, he's capable of finding joy in normal stuff and yet discard it which is why it enrages Kirei out of jealousy. If he did not meet Gil he'll live in denial forever as how Kirei is in Apocrypha route. What Gil did is merely forcing Kirei to come into terms with himself which is something Kirei never wish to affirm yet he finally did. This tied to Heaven's Feels, the result of Kirei accepting his existence as "Born Evil" led to a question "Is someone who are fundamentally evil deserve to be born? can someone who are born evil be good?" In the end biggest part of the reason he wanted Angry Manjew to be born is to see if something that called "All the world evil" can be a good, His way is twisted but even after all this time Kirei live in contradiction of hating himself for finding joy in other suffering while cannot help to feel joy at the misery of other. Which is why the birth of Angry Manjew is a win-win situation for him and are perfect scenario : If it's evil it'll bring misfortune for a lot of people and he'll be happy, If it turned out it could change to be good then there'll be a newfound hope for him that he could be a good person too.

[@kyzersoze8408]

@@JeSt4m also I think shiro was the only one who rejected kirei while being similar to kirei himself. In HF both shiro and kirei liked each other despite hating each other as well (didn’t like each other romantically). Even if he wasn’t able to make sure angra mainyu was born he died with a smile on his face as he found peace. Im not sure but I think seeing shirou dicarding kiritsugus ideals and putting himself and his happiness before the faceless masses resonated something within kirei to the point where he found the hope. After all both shirou and kirei are empty. shirou decided to save others to bring happiness to his life and kirei found happiness in the pain of others.

I wonder what would have been different had it been Caster Class Gilgamesh influencing Kirei.

[@nervmeister]

Caster would still probably be loyal to the "just be your truest self" mantra and nudge him down that path all the same............only he'd do so while giving his master Tokiomi fair warning (without giving everything away) as to not get too comfortable, especially around those he sees as his closest allies. If Tokiomi heeds the advice, and averts his own death, good for him. If not, oh well.......

[@LeonGun8]

@@nervmeister Nah, Caster Gilgamesh was less into following pleasure. He is, after all, the Sage King who overcame his shortcomings. In Babylonia he was even tainting his weapons by using them against the demonic hordes, an act regular Gilgamesh refused to do in Zero.

[@nervmeister]

@@LeonGun8 Oh, I have no doubt he'd act with extreme prejudice against Gilles if he threatened the city with his largest summon, unlike his Archer self. But anything not an imminent danger to a civilization wouldn't concern him as much.

[@LeonGun8]

@@nervmeister True, but that's the thing, Kirei's goal of pleasure DOES leads him to want to summon a "Beast-like" creature. Not exactly something King Gilgamesh would be down with. He would also not take the same approach his Archer self did of trying to kill all unworthy humans.

[@parkermaisterra8532]

The fact that Gil is now a "wise king who leads the masses" instead of being "A hero of great power" makes me think that he would still tell Kirei to follow his true self and pretty much give him the same advice as before *but* unlike Archer he'd probably tell Kirei how to be his true self while also being a productive member of society. Cater Gilgamesh is extremely efficient to say the very least and letting Kirei bring ruin to random people is wasteful. If anything he might recommend that he releases his true self to those who "oppose" Gilgamesh's society or assholes who when you think about it probably deserve a little bit of the Kotomine.

Kirei was a breath of fresh air for me I was tired of characters overcoming their flaws with power of friendship forgoing path of revenge because of their good nature Kirei is a person who was born a Monster yet tried to live normally and if it was your everyday story he would have changed after his wife's death but he stayed the same he accepted darkness inside of him and watching him do cruel stuff just because that is literally the only thing that entertains him was awesome

[@desouj03]

Great Analysis. This also speaks about the nature of evil. I personally think Kirei is lawful evil as he forces himself to pursue this path. Trying to avoid his own self destruction and is more iconic when his rebirth is severed.

[@luiousy7329]

Id say he approaches chaotic neutral in Heaven’s feel. He has his own goals but he isn’t above helping others when he feels like it.

[@HollowMoonFan]

Fun Fact: Kirei in Japanese means Beautiful. You could say, Kirei, in his own way is "Beautiful". In the end, Claudia wanted to try to teach Kirei about love.

[@XanderVJ]

Not exactly. Kirei's name is not written with the same kanji as the word for "beautiful". However, it's possible that it's a pun.

[@theoa701]

It is a different kanji (beautiful/pure/clean -> 奇麗 /Kirei -> 綺礼), but he was named like that on purpose. From the HF/VN: "The name Kirei is supposedly a word of prayer. The Father named his son in the hope that he would be pure and beautiful."

Polar opposites and two sides of the same coin are different. The two sides are the same thing, i.e. the coin, but in different ways. This would be Kiritsugu and Kirei as they have parallels but their faces are different. Shirou is the opposite as he is not a killer, hes not someone willing to do evil while Kirei reveled in it. Kirei is only genuine when it is time to slide the knife in, Shirou is someone who is genuine no matter the circumstance.

[@Shindenize]

This is the very thing probably why I did not feel hate towards Kirei while reading Heaven's Feel. I felt like he was the more appropriate foil as Shirou's "villain". And this is why I ALWAYS tell FGO fans to read the novels. While Shirou "steels his mind" into believing his "heroic" ideals, Kirei came to accept his true nature of evil all to himself after ACTIVELY trying to make sense of it. While Archer represents Shirou's conflict within himself (literally), Kirei represents Shirou's conflict outside with others. Shirou did not hate him, because in some sense, he was envious of him finding his own answer, letting his true self come up with answers and not rely on anyone else's ideals. Shirou KNOWS Kirei could represent a possibility that Shirou will find his true ideals on his own if he wanted to, something that Shirou realized when he finally decided to save Sakura. A decision that is the biggest choice in the HF route. A decision, even his father Kiritsugu, would make.

Because for all his depravity the thought that he didn't sits ill with him. Meaning on some level he cares. But then of course he does. If he didn't he would have succumbed to his desires ages ago and abused his position and ability to garner trust to commit evil while avoiding the consequences. He does scorn evil. He does admire good. But he only finds enjoyment in the former and only finds emptiness in the latter. Although he wishes with all his heart it was otherwise.

Man, this video really is fantastic. I’d love to see more longform content like this - It’d say it’s even better than your Shirou and Spike analyses. Great job picking up on how the change in Kirei's appearance versus Kiritsugu's lack of appearance change is meant to reflect how they grow as individuals -- I didn't even notice that myself. Small correction at 16:09 though, Kirei actually was born with magic circuits, which is unusual for members of the Church who normally don't rely on them for their magecraft. It's precisely why he was able to learn Clock Tower-style from Tokiomi.

[@LauraLanford]

Wasn't Kirei adopted? The visual novel says Kirei "is a child his father was gifted with on a pilgrimage". Risei only raised him, Kirei is most probably an orphan. In the Fate series it must be common for the Church to pick up orphans anyway, since Kirei fed Gilgamesh from the end of Fate/Zero up until Fate/Stay Night (10 years span) with the energy from multiple orphan kids who were kept prisoners at the basement of his place -- Shiro was supposed to be among these victims had Kiritsugu not adopted him first.

[@alexong2542]

[@Raizen22]

This was really well done my friend. I sat through every minute of it and I must admit as much as I hate Kirei. I really enjoyed the work and research that you put into this project. I am definitely going to be watching this a few times more because it was really that good. Keep up the good work! I never truly thought of it like that. That the reason that Shirou would even like a sicko like Kirei is because he needs a villain to his hero to give his goal and dream meaning. Makes you wonder that if Shirou were to ever be dropped in the my hero academia verse, it would probably end badly.

[@goldenbrigain7031]

how exactly?

[@Raizen22]

@@goldenbrigain7031 How Shirou would be a threat in the MHA universe? Well for starters, lets say that Shirou had won the war and made his wish. We all know that the grail would only grant it provided it is humanly possible and the closest thing to it would be to dump him in said universe. Which is overrun with heroes and villains; sure he would love it there but in the same token he would be a danger to everyone around him due to his personality. Do you remember the look of horror on Rin's face when he walked into a classroom of dead body's like it was nothing? He doesn't function like normal people do. Not to say that his heart is not in the right place, but due to him having a reality marble its safe to say that he is quite touched in the head. Him wanting to save people would fuel his psychological need, and having villains to fight also solves that as well. As a hero is only as good as the villain that opposes him. Not to mention the whole no killing villains thing, which Shirou can do but realistically against true threats like Shiguraki, he would not let him live in good conscience especially when he takes into scope the magnitude of his ability. Or people like him. Which I am fine with because you shouldn't let people like that live under any circumstance. He is a walking weapon if mass destruction with the ability to produce legendary weapons that are so vast and versatile that there are very few people who can honestly take him on. If at all. An if he went to UA then he would be under heavy scrutiny by his teachers who feel that they know what is best for him. If he was stupid enough to let them know what his ability is, which I don't think so. An could probably pass his magecraft off as his 'quirk' An all of this is provided he does not follow the same path that Archer did in this world, get cynical with time and experience. Which is wishful thinking. Especially when he sees that heroism is seen as a popularity contest to the masses and that societies notions end up causing more harm than good.

I wonder much how Shirou or the Archer class heroic spirit is a counter gaurdian as a result of his wish or contract to become a hero. Kirie Kotamine as a result becomes a counter gaurdian or an assassin class heroic spirit as a result of Shirou Emiya's wish. Just to bolster his legend just enough to be considered for Emiya to be considered a heroic spirit. Though he would be more of a catalyst counter gaurdian as to cause enough death and destruction as a prelude to an actual apocalyptic event to trigger the counterforce itself. In case more time is needed to prepare or the extinction level event is of such a magnitude that a counter gaurdian must be summoned earlier than later. Kirie being like an omen or light rain before the storm. Though him being more of a catalyst for the counter gaurdian. Or him being a way for the counterforce to activate itself abruptly he is given more independent action EX to cause destruction.

Is it just me or are there extended scenes of Kirei and Gilgamesh in this video that were not in the regular run of Fate Zero?

[@connormccarthy6741]

You mean like scenes that would be in Fate/Stay Night, Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven’s Feel?

[@sjjzak3133]

Imagine kirei as student Council pres. 😂🤣😂

[@AngelKyoX]

Rejoice! This video was dope. Thank you shounen!

[@antipoder6342]

How to make a memorable anime villain: make him as close to a textbook narcissist and/or sadist as possible while having good looks.

[@lippabalda2892]

Hats off to you, man. Excellent work. I have to admit that delving into this madman's personality on my own was absolutely irresistible when I first watched Zero. Glad to see I'm not the only one who appreciates and well developed and disturbing character. He is everything I want in a good villain.

[@RothurThePaladin]

Super insightful video.

[@mylesobrien7477]

Why is little boy Kirei so cute?

[@thecrimsonreaper7106]

He was a man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will

[@AllOtakuProductions]

I always love watching your videos Mr. Tsiah! Can you do an analysis for Inuyasha? I love that show and character!

[@cozstar11]

I know this is old but you helped me put some respect on kireis name so big up for that man, the doods an actual monster.

[@solohunter4394]

I don't care if I'm biased for kirei, I think it's your best video

[@apleb7605]

Might as well put this guy’s picture next to the definition of Schadenfreude.

[@xuanathan]

11:00 further proof that Fate Zero is just a series of scenarios, happening in the worst way humanly possible.

[@abrahamburhanna2166]

How i earth did I just find your channel these videos are so well done.

[@EmiyaIsHere]

Damn you, Kirei.

[@barbariumTV]

Liked and faved, good video dawg. Keep it up

[@parafoxl7619]

Me watching the last heavens feel movie: Haha, I already knew all those Kirei and Avenger facts because I watch the good youtuber xD

[@ronglurak9892]

there is a sadly abandoned fanfic where instead of gil madoka kaname from puela magi madoka magica was summoned by tokiomi and he had some interesting interactions with her and seems to change for the better.

[@etlogstv8488]

I got so used to him pronouncing his name as KOTOMIIEN that when he actually pronounced it as kotomine I was like: “is this the right video?”

[@williehughes1690]

Interesting that he had a predisposition since birth to have issues but it's definitely something a lot of people overlook when it comes to analyzing him.

[@Sativa989]

Excellent video my dude been wanting for someone to step up and do him for the longest. Still waiting on otakudaikun do his hash out on kirei story/character.

[@skyrogue1977]

Risei: My religion is bigger than hour religion. Kirei: Oh look, a third of humanities problems, how are you today?

[@bradleyboi2143]

A lot of details, omigoto. Love your content, whatever wall you hit I hope you can break and keep doing what ya doing ma man, Ty.

[@Brandazzo22]

finally, a new undying mind! Yo Tsiah, thanks for not uninvited me on Fgo. I was gone for like 6 to 8 months. lol you used to roll with mostly a 3 star army and now you a 5 star king XD. We need an undying mind of Edward Elric

[@gm34mhb]

[@jqobsidianthegoongod9452]
