After watching the scene of Kiritsugu Emiya and Natalia leaving the island by boat, Min Xinyi finally began to understand this character—at least a little.
To put it simply—
Kiritsugu was the kind of person who, when faced with a critical choice, could completely cast aside his emotions and choose only what he believed was right.
His father was evil.
And as long as he lived, he would continue bringing suffering to others.
Once Kiritsugu confirmed that—
He acted immediately.
No hesitation.
No wavering.
—
Min Xinyi knew she could never do something like that.
Raised under the Xia Nation's traditional values, the idea of killing one's own father was unimaginable.
And yet—
While she found Kiritsugu terrifying…
She also found him tragic.
What kind of belief…
Could support such a choice?
—
The story continued.
After leaving the island, Kiritsugu spent several years with Natalia, learning assassination techniques.
They worked as mercenaries in the underground world of magi conflicts.
The show skimmed over these years—
But it clearly established their bond.
After his father's death, Natalia became something like a mother to him.
And during that time—
Kiritsugu witnessed countless tragedies caused by magi.
Killing.
Injury.
More killing.
—
He grew stronger.
But his smile gradually disappeared.
He could pull the trigger without hesitation.
Survive impossible situations.
—
"I killed my father… to prevent more people from being sacrificed."
After seeing so many tragedies, Kiritsugu fell into doubt.
"Killing just one person isn't enough. You have to eliminate all of them."
Natalia said it casually, with a faint smile.
—
Min Xinyi's heart trembled.
So this—
Was that why Kiritsugu joined the Holy Grail War?
If he could use the Grail—
To erase people like his father—
Then the world could finally be at peace.
—
But…
His methods—
Were ruthless.
He used any means necessary to achieve what he believed was right.
Min Xinyi took a deep breath.
—
The story moved forward again.
As an adult, Kiritsugu took on a mission with Natalia.
Their target—
A magus who controlled bee familiars that could turn humans into corpse-eating monsters.
Even more terrifying than his father.
At least his father needed drugs.
This man—
Could do it with insects alone.
—
Min Xinyi straightened up.
The next part showed Natalia boarding the same plane as the target—
Planning to kill him mid-flight.
They worked together.
One handled the assassination.
The other handled the cleanup.
But
As expected
Something went wrong.
The magus had hidden his familiars inside his own body.
After his death
They went out of control.
Within moments
The entire plane turned into a nightmare.
Passengers became monsters.
Even the cockpit was compromised.
Natalia barely secured a safe area
But she was still in extreme danger.
On the ground—
Kiritsugu panicked.
—
They spoke over the phone.
"I'll make it back. But first, I need to deal with the plane. Anything you want to say?"
Kiritsugu fell silent for a few seconds.
"I believe in you."
—
Min Xinyi's heart sank.
Something felt wrong.
Very wrong.
—
"Prepare a soft bed for me when I get back!"
—
Her expression froze.
That…
That was a death flag.
—
On the ground, Kiritsugu's face twisted in pain.
He began making preparations.
Driving.
Gathering equipment.
Heading toward the coast.
Then—
He boarded a small boat and sailed out to sea.
—
Min Xinyi's unease grew stronger.
Because she already understood the situation.
Natalia could land the plane.
But if she did—
The monsters inside would spread.
It wouldn't just be hundreds of deaths.
It could mean the destruction of an entire city.
—
"Don't worry. I've already figured something out, Natalia."
Kiritsugu's voice was steady.
Natalia paused—
Then smiled faintly.
Relief.
And sadness.
"You really are reliable."
—
At this point—
Min Xinyi had already guessed the outcome.
But she didn't want to believe it.
—
No way…
Kiritsugu… wouldn't…
—
In the middle of the ocean, they kept talking.
Reminiscing.
Speaking lightly about the past.
—
"Living with someone like family… wasn't so bad, was it?"
—
That single sentence—
Made Min Xinyi's eyes fill with tears.
—
Kiritsugu finished assembling a rocket launcher.
—
"I… I always saw you as my mother!"
"Hey, saying something like that… it'll be awkward next time we meet."
"Sorry… my fault."
"After a mistake like this… maybe it's time I retire."
—
Min Xinyi's eyes widened.
—
Above the sea—
A plane crossed the sky.
—
Kiritsugu aimed.
—
Seagulls scattered.
Dawn broke.
Sunlight pierced through the darkness.
The wind brushed his coat.
Tears filled his eyes.
—
"You were… my real family."
—
He fired.
—
The rocket streaked upward—
Leaving a white trail.
—
Min Xinyi's mouth fell open.
Memories flashed—
The boy.
The girl.
The island.
—
The explosion lit up the sky.
The plane shattered—
Falling into the sea.
—
Kiritsugu stood there, watching.
—
"Did you see that, Shirley…"
Tears streamed down his face.
—
"This time… I didn't run away. Just like when I killed my father… I didn't hesitate."
—
Min Xinyi's heart trembled.
So—
He had always blamed himself.
For letting Shirley escape back then.
For the island's destruction.
—
So now—
He made a different choice.
—
To prevent a greater tragedy—
He killed everything.
The monsters.
And Natalia.
—
"I saved so many people…"
He cried.
—
"By sacrificing her… I stopped it."
—
In the middle of the sea—
He cried like a child.
—
The sorrowful music swelled.
—
The scene returned—
To that night long ago.
—
"Kiritsugu… what kind of person do you want to become?"
The boy looked at the girl—
Bathed in moonlight.
No answer was shown.
The ending theme began.
