I'd hesitate to call him a bad guy from the narrative perspective, but the whole point of Zero (and to a lesser degree SN) is that Kiri's utilitarian ideals are totally messed up and wrong. Kind of hard to miss honestly.
Waver was the true star in Zero, and I don't care who says otherwise.
"Only in my company, will you not be a monster"
anywhere than here
yeah, maybe i should have said that Amakusa is not a mustache twirling villain , and i dont think the Anime worked much over that point
- - - Updated - - -
honestly, im aware of how messed up Kariya is , but i still think he is one of the most interesting Zero characters
I'm aware Arashi, that's actually how the whole workshopping of Shirou Kotomine began on BL, someone posted an image, then we started a long ass conversation.
Yeah Eddy I'm aware it's not actually Shirou Kotomine, his real identity actually makes the name drop worse honesty.
Kariya was an idiot. You don't walk into a villainous deathtrap like that, much less not outright tell Tokiomi and Aoi, "Hey, Zouken is a monster, he's torturing your daughter" he let his emotional baggage win out and fuck him, it's superboy prime levels of retarded. Oh, and also, TURNING LANCELOT INTO A FUCKING BERSERKER, Kariya you fucking twat.
We are not having Kariya/Tokiomi discourse again, stop that
Now Kariya/Tokiomi ship discussion on the other hand
That be NTR
"Only in my company, will you not be a monster"
anywhere than here
i know he is an idiot, but i still like him .
Also, would Tokiomi care as long and it was apparently mage training for her. Maybe yes, the guy is pompous but not a monser, butt since Kariya already hated him, maybe in his mind he knew and was ok with everyhing
Aoi, on the oher hand, yeah, no reason for no thell her at all besides the plot nedding the story to end in the worst way because prequel, but that point really explains it all
