Funny enough, his voice in V3 is considered slightly Voice acted, meaning its not so realistic at all in term of sounding exactly like the provider. Instead it was made to sound like the V1 vocal, which was realistic at the time and matched the provider as they sounded then. As a provider ages, every 10 years a provider's voice will sound slightly different due to age progression, experience, vocal matching, etc.

Gackpo, despite the nasally is actually overall a better vocal, he is voiced by a better vocalist then Kaito overall. The issue with Gackpo is Kaito has a more flexible vocal and can fill more roles for this reason. Its a bit like the situation with Tonio and Big Al in the V2 Engloids, Tonio is the better singer, but Big Al is the better Vocaloid. in this case Gackpo is the better singer, but Kaito is the better Vocaloid. A lot of the time, the issue with the more realistic vocals, is that with realism comes crudeness and a lot of the more realistic vocals have the flaws built in of the human voice. In regards to the lesser realistic vocals, they come with robotic traits among other problems, but due to the way their recorded they have more consistent vocals. For example, Miku who is one of the definitions of voice acting remains consistently "cute" throughout her vocal range. But Miku isn't as good at singing because of her lesser extent of realism then Prima who is an opera singer.

I also don't know where the "murder" comes from in the original OP... >_<'

But take it as you will, for every side of the seesaw in Vocaloid there are pros and cons to every side of the coin. Each vocaloid has a combination of various traits from power, solid, sweet, soft, dark, realistic, voice acted, native, non-native, etc. ITs okay to like Kaito, but Gackpo has things going for him Kaito can't do and Kaito has things going for him Gackpo can't do. And honestly? If we're talking male vocals.... VY2 knocks socks off both these guys.
