I'm glad other people seem to be elabrating on Kento's new story arc here, because I don't think it ever properly landed with me. I think, in retrospect, it's because it was all framed in some nebulous apocalypic terms - the world is literally going to end, and we're fighting against that ultimate thing. I guess it's the reverse of the Saber dream from last time - that was horrifying because it felt tangible, real - all the other swordsmen struck down, with the final one to go being cheery optimistic Mei. Scaling that all up to the end of the world, idk, I guess I struggled to connect that as much? I agree, his characterisation here follows straight through from his earlier set, just with even more nihilism, but it was something I never quite clicked with.

Bringing an orphan kid into this environment was questionable to begin with, even if it was out of a genuine want to help on Rintaro's master's part, but how he apparently was just... lost in the muddle after his master died? Attached to the organization, but without strong bonds within it?

In fairness, Ogami was clos to being his dad, but said dad has since defected to working at a bookshop.
