EMIYA isn't a heroic spirit at all though, he's a counter guardian and he was summoned as a servant, not a heroic spirit. At the point he was summoned, the grail had been corrupted so more than just heroic spirits could be summoned (thanks Angra). Which is why he could be summoned as a servant.

[@OpXarxa]

more specifically though, both have the same memories, it's just that his Archer self(allegdly because of the influence of Independent Action EX) draws on his aspect as a tyrant. CCC showed that he does have the memory and maturity of his older self buried inside.

[@OpXarxa]

@Jotaro Kujo my bad about the rank, yeah, it's A+. as for the rest; archer gil views things from his older perspective as a tyrant, so he dislikes the average modern human(not the world itself) due to their complacency, and in general is more of a jerk. in FSN, he's also way more corrupted by grail mud than he cares to admit; in /zero he's pretty much just fascinated by kirei and his selfishness leads him to prioritize pushing him further. He still has the same memories as caster gil though, just a different mindset. Kind of the same as how Vlad the noble and Vlad the crusader(influenced by Protection of the Faith A+++) have completely different personas despite being the same person.

[@user-ki8xd2wi3x]

@@ebering4.039 no, Emiya has to copy something. He doesn't create a whole new thing which belongs to him - in fact, "those hands will never hold anything" (Gilgamesh, on the other hand, doesn't try to create something that already exists, only gathers those things and all the things he gathered do belong to him). That "something" ascends to Gilgamesh's Treasury too in most cases. Moreover. when he only projects items from GoB he wouldn't be able to use them far more effectively than Gilgamesh himself because those items have yet no history of being wielded by heroes who mastered and brought them beyond the limits. So there are no skills and abilities of their wielder as a part of the history of a weapon to copy. EMIYA might still have the Eye of Mind but it wouldn't give him much advantage against Gilgamesh's Sha Nagba Imuru. Gilgamesh: Rule Breaker! Medea: but that's my thing! Gilgamesh: your things are my things.

Just a simple reformulation. The difference between archer Gilgamesh and caster are that they are the same person but not from the same point of time. You see the Caster is from after Enkidu's death while the archer gil is before his best buds death. The throne of heroes (realm from which you summon the servants) carry not the heroes themself but the legend they created. Now there are 2 legends about Gilgamesh, the wise king who couldnt find immortality (caster) and the arrogant undefeated archer who hasn't seen the death of his friend YET. So both of them are summoned as the same person but not from the same specific time. It's the same for another servant which you'll learn of during the anime who has been summoned at his/her younger state. I just wanna let that out since people can still be confused ^^

It seems to me that caster Gil would fit perfectly in the role of the ruler class if there was ever another great holy grail war.. To make him different they could have him be the perfect balance between his archer and caster versions, the power of the former with the mentality of the latter. It could be explained that it is Gilgamesh after he returned from his journey but before he gave his treasures away. I like to think that with his castor mentality he might actually sometimes use some noble phantasms like they are supposed to be used instead of just throwing them all the time.

[@oarchero1636]

Archer Gil has the same memory as the caster Gil, and he is from after his death.

[@Rodiacreed]

I would like to add a few things to what you said. The Bull of Heaven in Fate is actually Ishtar's divine beast not her father's as she is the Queen of Heaven and the strongest deity of her pantheon. It has been stated by Merlin and Da Vinci that the concentration of mana if the Age of the Gods is far higher than in the modern era which enabled Gil to summon his servants. Also just summoning one servant nearly killed him but he didn't care and kept summoning until he had 8 but since he can't support the existence of so many servants by himself he gave them physical bodies so they would inhabit them and not suck up his mana. Again Gil never defeated Enkidu in the Fate-verse, they fought to a stalemate which is why its pretty fun to see them fight again in Fate Strange Fake so we would know who would actually win.

[@lancehvu]

As someone who is very invested in his character(I have all of his versions in FGO, I played through Babylonia, watched your earlier videos, read the wiki, watched extra cutscenes, read the Epic of Gilgamesh(some of it at least)), I still found it highly entertaining and learn 1 or 2 new things. Great video! Thumbs up! Also Merry Christmas!

[@DrOinkman]

watch the anime and be suprised about how much nonsense this video contains... its just a lot of false intel mixed with a lot of assumptions.. and people praise him for this.... shit like this is giving me depression, hope in humanitys intelligence once more shattered.

[@kannakamui2334]

Funny enough The actual Epic of Gilgamesh was one of the gifts I got for Christmas. Great video man. Can't wait to see more Shield Hero stuff from you. Funny enough I got a volume of the light novel as a gift as well lol

[@CoKeHQ1]

watched some Fate anime arcs some years back, and was really lost about the plot. saw clips of Gilgamesh and really liked his vibe (and laugh) and happened to stumble upon this, wouldn't have thought I would watch the whole video, but you really made it interesting! GJ!

[@carolinelee3949]

Dude have no idea how many times i keep repeating this vid coz finally theres someone who can explain in the most respectful and informative way about my King Gil. It's hard to explain to some ppl why theres a lot of ppl likes him and this vid really did well to explain that.

[@bobromorca7198]

Apparently, Humwawa went insane, that is why she had to be taken down. He/she used to be Enkidu's friend.

[@myspacebarbrokenevermindif9892]

Gilgamesh never beat Enkidu, they fought to a stalemate and were so tired that an average soldier could kill either of them as they lay there. Also, Gilgamesh is not a Caster in babylonia, as he isn't a Servant. That's living Gilgamesh.

[@scares3859]

but still FGO game added caster gil as a servant (because why not XD) in basis of movesets, caster Gil is just Gil and his GOB without the thousands of NPs and weapons.

[@lunerblade13]

@@DrOinkman I don’t dox aninews to heavily. A lot of people who talk about Babylonia gilgamesh tend to make this mistake and assume he’s a caster despite the fact that he’s still alive.

[@SuperSayianWarrior]

​@lunerblade13 I mean just because he's alive doesn't mean he isn't a servant class. Look at his Fate Stay route. All the version there, whether og night, UBW or HF he is no longer a spirit but alive because of the corruption of the grail. Remember the Throne of Heroes exists outside Space and Time. Plus Merlin's still alive despite being the Grand Caster

I'm so glad you laid out Gil's backstory cause man I read it all on the wiki and it was kind of confusing since a lot of it was just taken from translated clips of Fate/CCC, where the translation was more like a one-to-one recreation of every sentence in english without regard for comprehensibility

when gil meets angra mainyu... so freaking epic... imagine beeing so strong that even Gil is surprised and scared

[@Cazimie]

Angra mainyu is pretty weak. He cannot corrupt gilgamesh. He was just surprised that sakura progressed so much she literally could turn into the shadow. So basically gil again died because he underestimated his opponent.

[@boi3987]

Sorry to break it to you, but Gil knows he will be summoned as a servant anyway, which he dislikes. He usually betrays his masters. It was nothing but a moment of slight surprise for Gilgamesh, then he basically decided to die, because he can see what all opponents will do next. He assumes The Shadow will finish his mission for him, like a servant. When angra mainyu tries to possess Gil, it won't even work due to Gil's Ego.

[@SexLuthor]

[@kingofheroes1746]

Castor Gil also has a voice line in the game where he says he’s only pretending to be a castor as a deliberate provocation. Once you get him to bond lvl 5 he says that it’s Solomon he’s sneering at by changing to the castor class.

Actually caster Gil and archer Gil are basically the same. Archer Gil, at that moment of time, chose to act the way he did because he thought that was best for humanity. In fate/extra for example, we have an archer Gil that is way more chill and basically the same as caster GIl. His "mood" lets say is influenced by the circumstances Gil is being faced with.
