Yeah, they've been really delightful. Definitely a high point of the first act of Saber.

Thanks! This one kinda snuck up on me. I'm glad people liked it!

He's not just pointlessly throwing himself at Kurayami's blade again in a vain attempt to atone and avenge, rather he wants to protect his friends the way they protected him, hence what he meant by Touma saving his soul, allowing him to remember his mission as a Swordsman for his final battle.
It really does a great job of having Kento confront how addicted he was to his vengeance and suffering, and how the things he thought he was doing for others were really just things he was doing for himself. Having him come to that conclusion and vow to be more selfless in supporting his friends...
pretty great!

It's fun to do, which makes it easier to make time for. You can tell when I have less time because it's all dialogue, and very brief.

I think it's less that, than Ogami and Mei trying to talk Kento out of his martyrdom. Kento's whole self-destructive attitude is based on his belief that he needs to do this for everyone else, so the episode is smart to have multiple go We Did Not Ask You To Do That.
