Murakawa Tetsuya

Murakawa Tetsuya is a Master who fights the Holy Grail War of Yggdrasil in both the First and the Second Arc.

Biography
A former killer who worked for an organization called T6. Murakawa had the best contracts because apparently his clients preferred his way of killing people which didn't include the use of firearms or stabbings but of hands. Apparently Tetsuya was poor before he became a killer.Tetsuya's excessive violence made him a dangerous element for T6 and so he was expelled from the organization and then became a target for its killers. Kazuya, a friend of Tetsuya, was charged with killing him but was killed in turn by the latter.

Personality
Tetsuya Murakawa is a violent man who believes he's a vehicle for human aggression. This man's philosophy is deviant as he believes that human beings love to take their anger out on other people and therefore prefer to see them being destroyed rather than just seeing them dead. Tetsuya believes he's an "agent of destruction" precisely because he offers the possibility of annihilating a person's life slowly. Apparently Tetsuya is an atheist, in fact he himself says he doesn't believe in God, however he believes he's a victim of the evil eye of T6; according to him his colleagues have always been jealous of his fame and put him in that pitiful condition (of a man who runs away constantly). Despite his condition Murakawa doesn't stop behaving in that way. He hates the fact that there are young Masters in the war, considers them all children and insults them very heavily with the aim of demoralizing them. For him, war is just a matter between adults while the young Masters are like kids who think they are superheroes. He deliberately insults Alessandro Serpi, Hiro Sunahara and even Harumi Fukano solely for their age while he seems to treat Sergei Rybakov with more respect.

Tetsuya believes that honor is a luxury of the rich, not everyone's duty. According to him, the poor use the means at their disposal to win, they don't have time to think about honor.

Magecraft
Tetsuya possesses a Magecraft that allows him to enhance his physical strength and defense. When he does that he becomes a kind of superman who's capable of throwing vehicles left and right as if they were toys.

Holy Grail War of Yggdrasil
Tetsuya takes part in the war to get the Holy Grail.

First Arc
Tetsuya meets Harumi and confronts her but after a quick battle he's forced to retreat along with Cleta, his Servant, because a gigantic chasm opens in Ibaraki. The second time he makes his appearance, Tetsuya confronts the young Hiro and Rider; during their battle Harumi and Archer also intervene but despite the disadvantage Tetsuya and his Servant still manage to survive and retreat. During the conflict Tetsuya meets Sergei and tries to convince him to help him but fails. His last fight will be against Clovis Wolff and Caster; he will be killed after seeing Kazuya's ghost and his last order to Cleta will be to eliminate Caster. This last desperate act is successful and Tetsuya dies.

Second Arc
Tetsuya's story begins moments after Kazuya's murder. The man kills some policemen and later, in his apartment, he meets Yukiko Kumahira who convinces him to fight in the Holy Grail War. Tetsuya's first battle is against Kazuki and Rider. During the conflict Tetsuya has to face the assassins sent by T6 and kills one in front of Cleta, who is disgusted by the way her Master kills people. Also in this story Tetsuya will come to terms with Sergei trying to ally with him and even in this case he will fail. The decisive confrontation between Tetsuya and Cleta takes place in the apartment of a man brutally killed by Tetsuya himself; the woman defines her Master an animal but he, in the end, shows that she too is full of aggression that she wants to vent. After the Clock Tower collapses, Tetsuya confronts Yukiko and Berserker, and is killed.
