What makes him Hated?[]
- Despite having a minorly tragic past of being born without magic and being seen as a disappointment by his family (mainly by Zouken), his odious, hot-headed personality and his numerous sex crimes invalidate any sympathy from his tragedy at all.
- He constantly abuses Sakura Matou in a psychological and sexual manner, even going as far as to rape her on a constant basis.
- To make things worse, he feels no remorse for his actions and won't ever stop abusing Sakura.
- He made forced advances towards Rin.
- He becomes more violent towards Sakura as Zouken tells him that he is more worthless than his father is.
- He attempted to murder Shirou and Saber without much success.
- He blackmailed Sakura by telling Shirou about his history of raping Sakura for the last three years.
- He is a complete coward, crying like a bitch when something bad is going to happen to him like when he nearly falls to his death, or is contorted with magic, he screams like a baby, despite them being punishments that he 100% deserves.
- His death was played with zero sympathy.
- Overall, he has no redeeming qualities and is nothing but a cowardly and egotistical pervert whom has no empathy for any other characters and is one whom lacks any intelligence.
