Well, to my knowledge, this Kiritsugu is a completely different version than the one who actually participated in Zero’s Holy Grail War. He comes from a what-if universe where he followed his ideals to the end and became an agent of the Counter Force instead of Shirou Emiya. In Accel Zero, Irisviel is Saber’s true master and not a diversion. In essence, this version of Kiritsugu never worked with Artoria as her master and thus doesn’t know her beyond the minimal interactions between them during Accel Zero event.
