About Enkidu (Green-Haired Servant). Their class is Lancer and they are connected to Gilgamesh’s lore. In life, Gilgamesh was predicted to become a tyrant by the Gods, and thus they created Enkidu, the “Chains of Heavens” meant to battle Gilgamesh. Enkidu and Gilgamesh ended up becoming best friends. In fact, Enkidu was Gilgamesh’s “only friend”. Seeing each other against bring them nostalgia. Since they once fought against each other and things ended in a draw, Gilgamesh sees Enkidu as their equal while it sees itself as a tool for Gilgamesh. Their power to fire weapons is similar. Enkidu makes weapons out of the earth while Gilgamesh fires the we weapons in his vault. In case you didn’t notice, both of their Noble Phantasms are called “Enuma Elish”.

[@maxdot93]

@@n4m31355h4dow right? Very unique and endearing. Pure ass boi gets a guardian angel to watch over him.

[@fave2161]

Reason for letting the dog being the master is because Enkidu is too fking strong in this war. The power of Servants depends on the master who summoning them, because that dog is a specially trained dog for Summon a servant (which that master planned to Summon Pharoahs at the first), so the dog's magical power is so strong that it ables to summon the best form of Enkidu. Based on this situation, they somehow need to let this kind of servant fit with someone who dun even know wtf they r having (If giving to the correct master, Enkidu can direct demolish the whole war) Look for Gilgamesh, he is still strong as always, but at the first he got summoned by an unknown master which not really have good magic power (based on his tiny magic ball), it's already a bad start for Gil. But since his ego is too big, he didn't even realized or doesn't need to realized it (no matter how bad it is, as long Master still alive he still can fight others easily if he wants except Enkidu). So actually, if Gil and Enkidu gonna have a long time war, Gil will end up losing in some way, maybe lack of magic power or smtg.

You’re right on the money with Waver and Lord El Melloi being the same person! He took the name, title, and job of his professor (and master of Lancer) from Fate/Zero. He also appeared in a scene in the UBW Epilogue talking to Shirou. The Ruler is another servant class that was shown in the Fate/Apocrypha anime and in FGO. They serve as mediators to make sure the Grail War doesn’t go completely nutso bananas, but they don’t appear in every war afaik. And finally, the old man in the after credits is not a Ruler, but some super high ranking mage named Zelretch, who I only know from that one scene in Heaven’s Feel. Someone else can probably explain how and why he is there cuz I sure as hell don’t know myself.

[@sumanaiii4552]

Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg is the mage who unlocked the Second True Magic (Kaleidoscope/Zelretch). The limits of Kaleidoscope is unknown but it’s area of expertise is Parallel Worlds. From what we know he uses his magic to observe and travel to Parallel Worlds, he also made the Jeweled Sword blueprints from Heavens feel and the Kaleidosticks from Prisma Ilya.

To explain why grail wars keep happening, the objective of the Holy Grail War in japan was to have someone complete the ritual as Faldeus describes and acquire the Third True Magic that the Einzbern family has lost. However, every single grail war has failed due to various people trying to game the system, and the war in Strange Fake is one of several “Subspecies Grail Wars” started by other people who heard about the Fuyuki grail wars and thought “damn i want me some of that holy grail.”

The whole point of the Grail War is to reach the Root, which is theoretically the source of everything. If you can tap into that, you can do/understand pretty much everything.

It's funny, after Babylonia I can't see Gilgamesh as a bad person anymore 😂

he was a bad person, was being the key word here, in both the epic of gilgamesh and fate lore, gilgamesh was a straight up villain until his batlle with enkidu which finally made him chill out and be a good guy(kinda, eventually, it took a while). the FSN/zero version of gil is specifically the pre enkidu gil, though he still has knowledge of enkidu thanks to the grail. Babylonia and strange fake are post enkidu gil hence they are nicer and not straight up villains.

[@mariojimenez3240]

He never was. According to the data from the Fate series, his alignement is Chaotic good, which we may see as negative because his ego and his actions but even in his Zero appearance, he recognized and valued the goodness and virtue in other people, despite having the necessity to demean them for him to look higher than thou.

To give Enkidu some credit and backstory, back when they were alive: He fought Gilgamesh for several days, with a witness saying their battle “felt like the world was destroyed and created 7 times over”. He is the sole reason why Gil shoots out his weapons from his Gate of Babylon. In order to keep up with Enkidu, he had to empty out his entire vault of treasures (both of them coming to a draw) Enkidu has stated that as a servant, the power of Gilgamesh’s Ea, or Enuma Elish, wasn’t anywhere close to back when they were alive during the Age of Gods Implying that Enkidu’s output for his Enuma Elish was magnitudes higher to match up with Gil’s They are built different.

[@ThaRealOne436]

Long ass lore trivia and details list below. No spoilers just things to help clarify anybody here who’s confused or got questions Just a few things to help with some understandable confusion(its been a minute and Fate/Nasuverse lore goes pretty deep) - The War with Kiritsugu and Rider and Gilgamesh and Waver in Fate/Zero was the 4th Holy Grail War - The war with Shirou and Archer and Rin and Gilgamesh again is the 5th Holy grail war a.k.a Fate/Stay Night and its 3 routes - Strange Fake takes places after the 5th holy grail war, its just currently unknown what route it is a following afterwards - The assassin here isn’t someone you’ve seen before but she is connected to them. Without an explicit specific artifact, whenever you summon a servant you’ll just kind of get a default/random one. For Assassin’s they have this white mask Assassin’s Creed type order that you’ve seen in Zero and Heaven’s Feel. Homegirl is apart of that order - Waver did order a toy but since the toy is somewhat associated with the idea of Jack the Ripper it pretty much defaulted to the Berserker version with no identity - Ruler class is literally just the Discord Mod for the HGW that comes in when shit don’t look right(see Apocrypha for more) - Old boy at the end is not the Ruler. That is Zelretch(you’ve seen him in HF 3). Just know he’s an uber mega powerful mage, master of the 2nd magic - The reason the Grail war keeps happening(in Japan at least) is just because the last 4 or 5 times, shit keeps getting fucked up so no one has ever ACTUALLY claimed it and the families just set it up for next person in the bloodline to do it - Enkidu is Gilgamesh’s homeboy and basically they had a really cute Pixar/Disney type backstory together(see Babylonia for more on that as well) - Enkidu doesn’t have a Gender. It/They are quite literally a weapon created by the Gods of Gilgamesh’s time to go and fuck Gilgamesh up because he was talkin too much “fuck the gods” shit. They just have taken the look and form of the girl they first met when they landed on Earth - Gil named the chains in his treasury after Enkidu(he used them in UBW against Hercules in their fight). Enkidu’s weapon identity goes by the name of Enuma Eilish and it’s basically the weapon of the Earth in the form of spears and chains. Very VERY strong and the reason they fight the same is because Enkidu is where Gilgamesh got that fighting style from - I could try and explain what’s going on with Jester(its not a spoiler just related to something different called Tsukihime) but all you need to know is….Vampire. Hes a vampire - Gilgamesh dropped a whole Dune reference when he said there should be sandworms and mice about

[@ssjokg4952]

The UBW and HF time-line is not the same as this one, but the usual events of that timeline are a constant in other universes (like this one), but they're not the same.

So, yeah. Snowfield got one hell of a beating in that desert, but it still was majorly lucky, all things considered. And since I'm here, might as well give some context on Enkidu. The reason why Faldeus (murderous chatterbox) was unsure about the gender to assign this entity, is because it's literally a bunch of clay. The Mesopotamian Gods wanted to keep Gil in check, so they infused some clay with the breath of life, and tasked it with the mission to bring back Gilgamesh. Before going there, Enkidu met with Uruk's sacred prostitute, Shamhat. That's the person they where referring to during the short break from the fight. Shamhat taught Enkidu the ways of the world, making it a civilized entity. Out of reverence, Enkidu decided to use its shape-shifting abilities to assume Shamhat's appearance. That's why its character design is so leaning on the feminine side. Then it went to Uruk and met with Gil, sharing a battle lasting seven days and seven nights. By the end of it, Gil only had 10% of his weapons left, and Enkidu 10% of its clay. They were inebriated by each other's strenght, and so became rommat-, I mean... friends! Lastly, the reason why "the thing" is Enkidu's natural enemy isn't simply because of the life/death situation. It's because a curse of death is literally what took out Enkidu, back in the day. The Gods did not enjoy how it ended up becoming friend with the one it was tasked to chain up, so they literally cursed it to death and it reversed back to clay. Enkidu's death plays a major part on Gil's growth, both as a person and as a king. He even starts a whole journey to get some reviving herbs from the underworld, but that's a story for another time. Sorry for going all nerd on y'all!

Huwawa = Thomas. Huh wha..?

[@theonewayroad3867]

Isn't True Lancer Sigma or according to Watcher Sigma will "become" True Lancer.

[@theonewayroad3867]

​​@@DR_REDACTEDit's a red herring because of an odd line between Faldeus and Harui stating that Berserker is the rival of Nikola Tesla, Harui and Faldeus had no f'ing clue what they're talking about and were assuming it was Edison because that was the servant she was trying to summon. Another reason is because Huwawa appears as a rust-colored robot with spider-like legs and a "lion" motif and Edison in FGO is stated to have a monster form called "Thomas Mazda Edison" along with the fact that the catalyst used to summon her was a Mazda Lamp and Harui wonders if Berserker's physicql appearance is a result of using a Mazda Lamp as the catalyst. (It wasn't ) So it's not that surprising that some people thought Berserker was Edison.

[@hadesknight5838]

You’re right. El Melloi is Waver from Fate Zero. There’s a series on him as a teacher at the clock tower that you can watch called Lord El Melloi II Case Files.

[@Sudoxeee]

"what is happening?" Lmao that's exactly what i expected if this is the first time you're seeing fate. This contains a lot of information that heavily assumes you have played through the games(fgo or visual novels) and/or have watched the anime series. You might need to watch fate ubw and fate go first order then babylonia first even as an introductory anime before you're gonna enjoy the full context of this anime.

The old man at the end is Zeldretch, he is ridiculously OP. He wields True Magic called kaleidoscope, he can travel to other dimensions and draw power from them. In the Nasuverse there are beings called Archetypes, they are the strongest beings of the planets and the moon also has one, Zeldretch fought and won against TYPE-MOON. The "Great Spider" he mentions is ORT or Archetype Mercury who is currently sleeping in south america. Needless to say the servants we see here are some of the strongest ones.

[@miteigi8334]

ORT is confirmed not to be Type Mercury but Type Oort Cloud in FGO Atlantis. Those strongest ones(Top Servant level) are like 7 of them(Gil, Enkidu, Pale Rider, Alcides, Richard, Huwawa, and True Assassin probably) which is more than half of the Servant cast. It's defnitely more than the Top Servants that appeared in other Fate animes as Zero had 4(Gil, Iskandar, Artoria and Gilles), FSN had three(Gil, Artoria, and Herc), Apocrypha has 5(Karna, Achilles, Jeanne, Vlad, and Semiramis), And Last Encore only have Saver. Only FGO is an exception cuz Babylonia alone have about the same amount as FSF Top Servant

[@israelpadilla8126]

@@miteigi8334 Ahhh so it isnt type mercury got it. Also semiramis isnt considered a top servant because you need a lot of money and resources to build the hanging gardens. Last encore also had Gawain in it and hes a top servant as well, just like a lot of the Knights of the Round Table

@@simplyrohith2163 Yes it's technically a different character but they allude to Enkidu and his connection to Gil

[@ZGWarp]

Gilgamesh's potion he was about to use is to make him younger, this comes from the part of the legend after Enkidu's death where he sought a way to live forever, when he found this thing (a herb if I remember correctly) he went to bath as to not look unsightly, a snake ate it. He realized what happened, he then returned becoming a just king, giving us Caster Gilgamesh. He of course returned to get more, but never used it. Correct me if anything here is wrong

If you summon a servant without a relic the grail basically summons a servant that suits your personality Which is why Ryunosuke got Guile de Rais (Caster) in zero and they got along well

The dude with the long hair and the red suit is waver riders master from fate zero

[@RahulVerma_30]

About the rider that the young girl summoned . Technically he isn't a real servant or historical Figure . Since the holy grail in taking place in America is imperfect and was never completed , it caused the grail to summon defective servants ( rider ). Due to this the rider summoned by girl isn't a historical figure but the very concept of death given physical form by grail . Since It is a concept given form it doesn't have thoughts or desire and will only listen to the girl .

[@wheresprototype3507]

To summarize who Enkidu is. He was/is Gilgamesh's only friend. Gilgamesh made a promise that Enkidu would be his only friend to keep it as a true treasure. Enkidu was killed by an outside force, which actually made Gilgamesh cry and start his immortality search.

[@MrTdC2012]

Can not wait for this looks dope next year is going to be fun

[@Stroimex]

Fun Fact: This clash of Enuma Elishes shows how insane Ea is when used seriously. During it Gilgamesh was sending the entirey of the planet to the void and it's only held togheter because of Enkidu's own Noble Phantasm. Gil doesn't really have intentions of severely damaging the world and only gives himself the privilege to go all out against people like Enkidu who knows can match him.

[@armybrat3961]

This version of Gilgamesh is THE CLOSEST version of how powerful the original LIVING Gilgamesh was when he engaged Enkidu. The power alone he was able to pull out from Tine (and thus the magic leyline) allowes him to touch upon his original strength. Enkidu draws his power from the Counter Force in order to fight so he never truly runs out of magic and instead uses his physical body as a form of compensation to fight with bis Age of Babylon NP which creates all his weapons This gentlemen... is the og Gilgamesh and Enkidu power structure

[@cy-taku3952]

But what about Gilgamesh from fake verse

[@SkyPopePhoenix]

just something important to note about summoning the servants: a relic isn't "required" but it will give you an advantage. the relic is basically limiting what you "could" summon. flat didn't have one, so the grail will summon someone that is compatible with the summoner either through personality or other personal factors. Ie, flat is studying in britain, refers to waver by big ben, etc. a lot is taken into consideration, and so he summoned ****
