* After Dark Sakura confirms in no uncertain terms that, as the avatar of Aŋra Mainiiu, Kirei's heart is in her hands, the man still has enough BrassBalls and NervesOfSteel to tell her to her face that she is still the same Matou Sakura lying to herself, and that he let her live so that she would birth All The Evils in the World, while not caring at all about the pain involved in the process for her.

** Shirou for managing to rein in his impulse to go and help, and sticking to the plan: wait for an opening, and spawn Rho Aias to protect Rider.
