Always funny to see. Gilgameshs biggest weakness is his own ego and The fact he never goes all in until its to late
@For You yes, but as he said to Shirou before the Holy Grail trying to swallow him : "Victory is yours"
@@viniumdoistresdois2399 yeah gilgamesh definitely lost, but if he started with ea he woulda won instantly cuz shirou doesnt have a counter to it and it woulda one shot his reality marble
@@MilanoEdits yeah but then we would be talking about a different character, gil doesn't start with ea, its an insult to him. Maybe he'd do it against Enkidu, but agains anyone else they need to earn his respect or prove they are worthy before
@@viniumdoistresdois2399 fair enough, but all im saying is that gilgamesh definitely had the ability to win, he just put his pride above it
@@MilanoEdits absolutely. But i think his ego is just so much of his character that ignoring it is already talking about someone else, it plays a part not only in his losses but also when the grail mud fell under him in F/Zero, so its a important trait of the character and worth keeping in mind when talking about hos fights and odds.
"I can't believe Gilgamesh died like that"
Also Gilgamesh: *Dies by overworking*
hehe clay boi
oofed being a gil fanboy in F.SN and played FGO for first time this is one of dfq moments
Gil giving Eresh a hard time cuz hospitality ain't up to his standards after dying and he'll act like he owns the place XD
Caster Gil is the best Gil. It's very interesting seeing the difference between Archer Gil (basically him in his prime, as a problematic teen) and his older self (a wise king that fight for the sake of his people and rebel against the Gods even if he is half-god himself because he believe in humanity). It's even more interesting seeing how Archer Gil basically doesn't do anything but throw his treasury against enemies, while Caster Gil fight only with his own forces and doesn't use any of his treasury weapons. Seems like Enkidu really rubbed on him.
Also, do you want to know how much does he value the Holy Grail? He uses it as a drinking cup for his beer. Yeah, that's right.
@@The_Armstrong lol he didn't rebelled against god because he believes in humanity or something he just can't stand working under someone that's why he became a king in first place he cares about his people but humanity it's just big no
To clarify, Archer faked his own death in castle. No matter how hard he denies it, he is still Shirou, which means he is too stubborn to simply die like that)
No i don't think he faked his death, he is a guardian that appear when humanity is threaten and that what happened at the end cuz of gilgamesh plan to destroy and kill most of the people. That's what i think
@@arcwight5096 No, it was confirmed by Nasu that he faked his death. Counter Guardians (CG) don't appear until AFTER the crisis is already in progress. That's why Archer hates the job; by the time he is summoned, the people he wishes to save are already dead. According to Nasu, Counter Guardians would only be summoned in response to the Holy Grail's corruption once a significant portion of humanity has been killed off, something like when China and India has been overtaken.
@@anthonygarza4653 Oh ok thanks for clarifying this I always thought it was that way
Nah it was because of plot. Or else he should have disappeared when he used the shield to protect Shirou from Ea wind as that mana was enough to make him disappear.
@@arcwight5096 first, he looked too damaged for someone who just appeared, second, if he reappeared here as Guardian, he'd just most likely killed everyone around, because that's how CG works. They just clear the area. Also, it was confirmed by author himself)
Should be said that Gilgamesh basically never takes the fight seriously which is why he lost. In his eyes it’s beneath him to take a fight against a faker seriously and by the time he realised his mistake it was too late.
He looks different cause his hair is now more "shirou like" instead of slicked back
Gil killed his hair gel)
"If you claimed to be a genuine article, I'm gonna surpassed everything about you"

"My sword is a tool of justice. Not used in anger, not used for vengeance. But the thing is, those swords are not mine." - Shirou, probably)
None of his swords are his, what're you on about, lol.
@@colt1903 that`s the point. Also, MGR reference)
@@ALevelPikachuWithLevelThunderb Shirou already accepted that he is faker, why not take some cool lines from others as well?)
@@BekindBekbek I know. I was joking
Since you made a mgr reference, lemme expand it a bit. Remember the name of the sword that Raiden was using when he said that line? Murasama, and if im not wrong thats a bastardization of the name Muramasa. Anyone plays fgo here? ykiyk.
Man the fight with Gilgamesh is always fun.
UBW is so sad for Saber, she doesn't really resolve her issues with her life, she doesn't get Avalon back and she doesn't get her lover Shirou ether.
HF is even worse for her.
I mean, technically she does get those things because to my knowledge none of the 3 timelines shown in the VN have been erased, so the throne which transcends them all technically has the "perfect" Artoria in it that has gotten all those things, or at least one that is aware of the version of her that received those things and the lessons learned from them, however that works.
But, speaking purely from the standpoint of what we see here in this route, yes it is somewhat quite sad. 😢
@@alexleonhart92 at least we got salter 🗿
It's subtle, but it's implied that she moves on after seeing Archer and Shirou's battle. It's not a perfect ending for her, but it's definitely not a bad ending.
fsn routes always have atleast one shit occurance. in fate, ubw no happy ending for sakura. in ubw, hf no happy ending for saber
THIS IS WHY HE'S THE MVP
THAT'S WHY HE'S THE FRIKKIN GOAT
SHIROU
I think Archer died as a servant but came back to that time era as a Guardian even just temporarily to steal a clutch.
Sadly this was apparently denied by the creator.
He just hid himself instead.
If I remember right, the explanation is that he went into spirit form when he was attacked by Gilgamesh. But yeah, I don't think it's ever explained, even in the Visual Novel.
That's the only explanation that makes sense here otherwise it's too much to fathom ,unless it was his guardian form which i highly doubt
@@San_d_alphone
My headcanon is that, since Archer is a Guardian, that are summoned when a threat that risk endangering humanity appear, he was summoned by the Counter Force to take care of the big monster, and used the extra time to snipe Gil.
@@troljynx9953 the problem with that theory is that if he was summoned as a Guardian, everyone would have died, it's kind of like being a nuke.
@@AimaZero Maybe that's when he was hidden ? Like Din said the muck was basically like a servant so her and Shinji being soaked in to the bone with it might have made then duck the "Kill all human witnesses" rule, Saber is a servant so I'd guess she doesn't count, and Shirou... Because he's himself ? I'm really just making guesses lol
@@troljynx9953 nah your right there ,altho it's a bit stretched and exaggerated but what your saying makes sense ,especially the thing with the muk ,cuz i was 'bout to raise the similar question ,also i would like to add :did it actually bring guardian archer to clear up the mess (the muk monster) as a counter pull or just to clear up the other mess ,ya know ,like to pulverize the main reason that caused a situation like that to arise cuz the power he showed even after coming back didn't seem enough to actually take care of the monster completely and i highly doubt he had more AP than Saber to stop it lol
You guys should watch the Sunny Days OVA they made for UBW
Gilgamesh pride is the only reason Shirou wins this fight; Gilgamesh was too proud to use EA against an unworthy rival. If you remember, during the Iskander fight, he said something on the line "Wake up Ea, a worthy stage has been set for you", since he considered Iskander an enemy worthy of his respect. That wasn't the case at all. He only tried to use it at the very end as a last ditch effort because he was getting desperate, but you can see from the closeup of his hand that even then he hesitated. He really didn't like Shirou at all, that mongrel.
I'm not sure even Ea would have helped. That thing is a natural counter to Reality Marbles, but it takes time to "spin up" and Shirou is constantly all over him. Unless he literally opens up with it as the first thing he does, any attempt to use it will end up exactly how we saw.
@@TheKain202I'm not sure it takes much time to spin up. We saw it annihilate the giant arm one episode earlier basically instantly. Gil lost due to him not using his full arsenal.
If we assume he was using all he has the fight would have looked basically like this: Gil starts off wearing his armor, making him impervious to any attack shirou can muster and one shots him using ea. As far as I remember his golden armor is stated to be able to take multiple hits from Excalibur, so shirou would be entirely outclassed, and that is with Gil not using is chains of heaven to restrain shiro.
As usual, Gil lost to his own arrogance.
@@knodel2378 pretty much, he just needed the armor, not even Ea..lol
I've been waiting for this episode, nice reaction sour taste
Archer said "Tohsaka"
he did the same thing in HF
If you don't see a servant sparkle away, they're okay to fight another day
Gilgamesh may be king of all lands, but UBW is Shirou`s kingdom.
can’t wait for your reactions of the heavens feel movies, the best fights in anime in terms of animation quality and fight choreography
Excalibur go brrr
Sorry but that would go to Demon Slayer season 2. UFO just gets better with each project
@@karmenion demon slayer s2 is great and all but heavens feel 3 is on par with it in terms of animation. Which is still saying a lot cuz ds is a tv anime while heavens feels 3 was a movie
@@prajeshtalwar3417 Not really. Demon Slayer S2 surpassed it.
"i can't believe that gilgamesh died"
wait until u see gilgamesh dying and summoning himself as an archer
Love this, can't wait for Haven's Feel next
Still praying for uncut HF on CZcams 🙏 (or at least the fights I guess)
Gilgamesh's praise to Shirou feels like Madara's praise to Gai
Fun fact in the Sunny Days OVA it shows the NORMAL ending to the UBW route which is that Saber stuck around after the war :)
it`s actually good ending, but not true one
@@BekindBekbek unfortunately

Imagine Archer in Chaldea.
in 13 days(31 of december)
a special episode called fate strange fake is coming out
it is essentily sort of a sequall/alternate universe side story to fate stay night
its going to be around an hour long special adapting the visual novel of the same name
I think it got delayed.
@@freakcan i dont think so
i didnt hear any annoucment about it being delayd
@@adam-dn3hi The official twitter account for it posted earlier this month that it was going to be delayed because of production issues, they haven't given a new release date yet but did say that on the original day it was supposed to be dropped (31st) they will release a preview
@@anastasiayager2476 shit it really did
lets hope its not delayed to much
Fate series is the best anime franchise i've ever seen in my life hands down :)
I’m guessing ep 25 reaction got blocked by copyright? :(
Where is Episode 25?
Been waiting for this
You gotta check the Sunny Day OVA too
I'm going to say this every episode: you guys should watch the abriged version by project mouthwash after this.
I really hope you guys watch the grand order series. It has a whole show about gilgamesh and really fleshes out his story and character. Would recommend watching it in chronological order over release order
Alright, so next in the Chronology would be the Heaven's Feel film trilogy
You guys should really watch fate Oath Under Snow movie shirou is just amazing in that one
Bro holding tear🥹🥹
can someone tell me what happend to 25?
The absolute Goat Shirou
Despite this loss GIlgamesh is still the strongest servant in Fate (EXCLUDING FGO) it just so happens Unlimited Blade Works is literally the one perfect counter to Gate of Babylon. But if Gilgamesh had used Ea from the start he could've won but his ego couldn't allow that XD
If he had put his armor on, decided to use the literal elements, chemical weapons, nukes, etc in his GoB. He would have won. Heck even the Chains of Heaven would be a monumental help. The only reason Gil lost was because the fight was a matter of his pride as a wielder of unlimited swords. Unfortunately, however, Shirou just happened to be better at it with UBW.
@@elishaj2977 Shirou was the perfect match for GIlgamesh because he more than anyone else could drastically exploit his one true weakness and as you said it's his pride that's as big as his endless treasury XD
@@jaredhipfnner1262 also like shiro said, gil is a "king" not a "warrior". he could only throw the weapons he has without mastering or even training with it, that's why shiro can easily deflect them. if shiro was fighting lancer or assassin, shiro would definitely get cooked easily
Neel. Where do you buy your hoodies. I need to know.

Bruce Lee
P.S.
11:50
Gilgamesh hesitated to unleash his ultimate weapon for a mongrel like him.
but that moment of hesitation decided who was the winner.
but don't worry, Gilgamesh was a servant summoned by the holy grail.
which means, he would be possible to be summoned by another mage if another war occurs.(And of course, Saber and Archer too)
Archer: Nope, I'm done with this shit!
*Moon Cell and Chaldea have entered the chat*
Archer: God damn it. *Proceeds to mutter multiple profanities about "E-Rank Luck"*
The name of the track when Saber uses her Noble Phantasm is called "The Promised Sword of Victory"
Make sure you not only watch all 25 eps but also the "Sunny Days" OVA which also takes place after UBW season
to be fair, gilgamesh only died because EVERY SINGLE ODD was against him
Can't wait for the heavens feel reaction 🤩
You guys need to watch Babylonia!
I don't see ep 25??
Will you guys be reacting to the movies as well?
wonder if u guys will be watching the OVA of alternate ending
As a guardian Archer is dispatched across time to stop humanity extinction lvl events. So he was there in his role as a guardian to stop gils plan to destroy humanity rather than still being there as a servant.
watch the abridged episodes lmao, they're hilarious
Where's the final episode reaction?
Leave it to Archer to STEAL the kill!
i mean technicaly it is his kill he just helped himself with the finishing blow
@@antoniogaravo9289 yeh , protecting yourself is not stealing kill
A little bit of lore from Fate vn: anime isn't entirely correct regarding some things on Shirou vs Gilgamesh. Anime Shirou is able to best Gilgamesh in melee swordfight and says the latter isn't a warrior. However, per novel, Gilgamesh is still a Heroic Spirit and thus leagues above humans in wielding a blade. The only reason Shirou is able to counteract him is solely with UBW. Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon needs a little time to summon stored weapons. While UBW already contains stored weapons and can immediately counter whatever Gilgamesh brings up, by using item's exact copy.
Gil for sure knows how to use blade, but Shirou at this point had basically all of Archer`s skills and abilities and Archer was able to go toe-to-toe against strongest close combat fighters of this war.
I always read him saying that as him trying to piss Gil off and get him to make a mistake.
@@BekindBekbek , while Shirou has indeed improved his skills drastically, thanks to interraction with Archer, he's still nowhere on the level of him. Shirou's victory over him was more of a mental fortitude victory than besting Archer in abilities. It's not like Shirou managed to inherit the entire skillset of Archer, nor he became a match to an actual Heroic Spirit.
@@dimaudalow Shirou can copy the stats and skills of the wielder of the blade he uses temporarily making him on par with servant
See, Fate Route, when he uses Caliburn
@@user-oi5eo6mv9i that's still not a good excuse because he clearly said that a servant who mastered a weapon would defeat him in UBW. So even if Shirou/Emiya can copy the skill of the weilder he can't best a servant who has mastered a specific weapon.
There is an alternate ending for this show, I learned that 2 months after finishing it
What is it
@@alisiblani8518 i think he means all the 3 fsn routes (Fate/Stay Night 2006, Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works, Fate/Stay Night Heavens Feel). Each follows the story past Fate/Zero with shirou as the protagonist but they all focus on different characters, provide alternative endings to how the story could progress after the 4th holy grail war. Fsn 2006 shows the story revolving around the relation between saber and shirou, Ubw shows more focus on gilgamesh, shiruo, archer and tohsaka and lastly Heavens Feel focuses on the relations of sakura with rin and shirou
@@alisiblani8518 Sunny Day OVA. It shows the good end of Rin Route. What was shown in this episode above is true end of her route
@@prajeshtalwar3417 no he meants the Sunny day OVA the TRUE ending to UBW
@@gluebreeza1999 I completely forgot about that but yeah ig that being an alternate ending makes more sense than fsn 2006 or heavens feel
What about the last episode? There is still one more
defeat Artoria with a sword with bare hands - easy
dodge the attack of 2 servants - nowhere is easier
beat a schoolboy - facking impossible
I like Emiya NP, but i more like Snow version
Btw we called Gilgamesh is "Triple Kill"
If gil had started with ea he woulda won cuz its the only weapon shirou can't copy/doesn't have in his reality marble but nonetheless the fight is pretty damn good
The fact that this Gil is not even a single Percent of real gil
You cut the most interesting parts on this fight. Where is saber shouting Eksek-caliba🔥
I hope you'll watch fate grand order now
Rip saber
10:19 bye bye saber ily❤ see ya in fgo
heavens feel next
Supposedly Acher went in to spirit form which left him with just enough mana to apear once for for a very short time and with his independent action by nature of being an archer he has some independence to act upon his own.
In every route Gil dies due to his own ego never seeing anyone his equal to fight all out. The original route is te only one were he slightly fought with more effort against Saber and Shiro before the fatal strike. Gil was a warrior in his life to a degree but Shiro is right he is a one trick pony he just spams gate of babylon like a spay of projectile but there all top tier noble phantasm that being the original surpass the ones other spirits hold unless there not ones he could have obtained unique to a hero’s own legend like Karnas Spear but gill never masters them to there fullest the i think the only weapon he has that he mastered is Ea and he doesn’t pull it out till absolutely last minute depending on if you make him sweat. Gill has te potential to be the most broken heroic spirit ever but ge doesn’t being a jack of all trades that could stomp pretty much anyone if he master even half of the phantasm in his vault yet his ego only lets him be a jack of all traits master of none limiting himself even with having so much mana he’s worth at least a dozen top tier servant by himself.
Well by that logic, Archer should have permanently disappeared after he used the shield to save Shirou from Ea wind.
I think the reason Archer appeared is because he is a guardian and has to protect humanity
At this moment he is not a Heroic Spirit but a Guardian
Yes
No, he's still not a Guardian yet since he only appears if the disaster is already spreading and then he'll do the job to clean the place up. He survived Gilgamesh's swords attack back in the Einzbern Castle and decided to turn into spirit form to hide, just like a certain servant in Heaven's Feel
I believe it was explained somewhere that when Archer was about to die after saving Shiro from Gilgamesh's barrage, he went into his Spirit form to dodge the upcoming attacks hence the blue particles we see after the dust settles.
If a guardian was gonna be sent, it wouldn't be him. EMIYA, both regular and Alter I believe, are only ever sent to deal with actual human wars that have gotten out of hand.
It's possible that one could argue an exception was made due to him literally being Gil's Natural Enemy, but it's not very likely.
@@colt1903 also, if he was sent as Guardian, he`d most likely just killed them all. And he looked too damaged for someone who just appeared.
Are gou gimma watch the Heavens feels movies though?
I know the popular theory is that Archer faked his death back in ep21, but I have a different thought. He's already explained that he's a Counter Guardian, and that the world itself summons him into times when all of humanity is facing an existential crisis, right? With the grail being maybe a few minutes away from unleashing a curse that would kill just about everyone on the planet, it makes sense that the conditions would be met for Emiya - the Counter Gaurdian, not the Servant - to be called up to resolve the threat.
That would also explain why he just shows up, killsteals Gil, and then disappears again right away, and why he says he can't make a new contract with Rin; he's not the same guy she's been dealing with this whole time, and not a Servant, so he doesn't have the right to make a Servant contract with her.
Your theory is useless because the author made it clear that Archer simply survived and went into the Einzbern forest to cosume lesser spirits to sustain himself.
please give reaction on bang bang title song
Ep 25 ?
Ah yes, the good episode
i wish you guys would watch fate/grand order babyonia since you guys like gilgamesh, its kinda his show too
please watch fate heavens feel movies
It seems Gilgamesh got summoned again,
This time, he serves for his protagonist.
czcams.com/video/DGD1NPn0kGg/video.html
Archer returned because he still is a guardian who gets summond by the will of the world to survive. He died but the world brought him back to stop gilgamesh.
Also I love the way shiro could win against gilgamesh because Gilgamesh never took the time to master any noble fantasm and was essentially just throwing some swords around instead of learning how to wield them with their full power. Every sword he uses is a noble fantasm so they are all powerful legendary weapons but he just throws them around and does not care what each weapons potential is.
If he would just fight everyone with ea no one would stand a chance against him but he is to narcissistic to do that
More fate
Died because his pride kinda sad for Gilgamesh, only if he use ea to kill Shirou :l But well, one more episode and welcome to best fate's, heaven's feel
After this series is over please react to fate apocrypha
HF first
Nah nah nah, they need to watch at least 3 episodes of Carnival Phantasm. Get all that darkness out their head before jumping back into the deep end.
Archer did die but because he is a gardian he is summoned to protect humanity when it is about to collapse
I recall hearing somewhere that in the Visual Novel, Shirou beat Gil without Archer needing to step in at the end. People were upset it got changed here. While I haven't seen what it was like for myself yet, so I can't give a totally unbiased opinion, I kinda prefer how the fight ends here. Gil was gonna use Ea, so that means, at least subconsciously, Gil acknowledged Shirou. That's honestly all that I really wanted from this fight. If he actually beat Gil all his own, that's great. Seeing that would be awesome. But Gil acknowledging, even subconsciously, that he most likely needed to use Ea in order to beat Shirou, tells us all we need to know. The anime gives Shirou the acknowledgement he deserves, and gives Archer one final badass moment to go out on. So, I'm happy with it.
Also, y'know, they're the same person at the end of the day, no matter how much they dislike each other. One's just been through more shit. I don't really get why one dealing the killing blow over the other is enough to tilt y'all so damn much. Getting pissed off cuz of the misunderstanding of Shirou's character people have in part due to the anime? That I can understand, though. Y'all are justified there.
IIRC, what was changed is that Grail hole literally saved Gil from Shirou`s final blow inside UBW by pulling him out. So there wasn`t any conversation between end of fight inside UBW and Gil being sucked. Archer still took the kill)
@@BekindBekbek Alright, good to know.
Gil's hesitation to use Ea will always be his downfall
If gilgamesh used EA from begining, he would win
Exactly, he has been defeated not only by Shirou, but also by his own arrogance.
And if he was not summoned as the King of Heroes but the King of Wisdom, he might not get fucked by his own arrogance. (yet he might die by his own overworking..)
Using Ea from the beginning would mean that Gil acknowledged Shirou as worthy opponent who is worthy to stand against him face to face. I guess Gil will prefer to die that actually admit that a modern schoolboy that like 97.7% made from fakes and uses cheap copies (literally made from air), equal to him and his treasury.
In short, he`d prove himself that he was wrong about Shirou in this case.
Summary of literally the entire series.
Most powerful version of Gil is the fighting game version. That fucker always has it out and ready, lol.
If he used EA right away he wouldn't be Gilgamesh
This plot-induced ego of Gil's really does make him out to look like a joke when we know how op he is.
On the other hand, the send off for both Saber Artoria and EMIYA was masterfully bittersweet.
Gilgamesh as a servant wasn't that powerful to begin with
@@AZTEC_G0D Yes he is, just not as strong as his true prime self. He was just not motivated to try hard due to pride.
Gil's ego is consistent throughout the series.
@@GC-Shadow1327 and is still nowhere close to his real self

@@sahilsinghrautela743 more like 5 minutes later.
Fate Grand Order should be the next watch if you're a big fan of Gilgamesh
Well uh guys r cool, can you give a reaction on #Besharamrang song from PATHAN movie
I’m still confused why Gilgamesh is like this now, but is a kind and nice guy in the past when he was alive
This Gilgamesh is his young version.
The Gilgamesh is fgo is the real king of heroes
The Young Gilgamesh can't use even a fraction of Ea and gates of Babylonia
Archer Gil is him up until the point just before he has his immortality leaf or whatever it was eaten by a snake as he rests in a spring. That experience led him to multiple important realizations, and was the reason why he became mentally and emotionally mature enough to become the Wise King he was afterwards.
Caster Gil is the aftermath of that event and the Wise King himself. He is Gil's most balanced self, in a manner of speaking, and arguably therefore his strongest self.
Child Gil is, well, his child self. In theory, this version of him represents what he would have been like up until his "realization" that humanity would prosper more if he were like what we see his Tyrannical Archer self is like.
On his lore the "young" Gilgamesh is jaded because of how overwhelming he is compared to common folks. Even because of his bloodline, the Deities can't do a thing directly at him. His "boisterousness" actually acquired the scorn of the Gods and they send a clay doll imbued by the Gods power as their agent. Yes this clay doll is Enkidu.
The two fought epic battle until a few days later the fight ended up as draw. For once, young Gil can see someone on the same level as him and treat Enkidu as his equal. Enkidu who also abhorred as Gods agent decided to accept Gil friendship and the two became best friend.
The Gods doesn't like this and imbued Enkidu with a concept every mortal has, Death. Seeing the death of his best friend made Gil realized something. No matter how overwhelming he is, Death is something he can't deny. Thus his quest for immortality began and he left his kingdom.
Cut time short, he got what he wanted. Immortality finally in his grasp yet in a single moment it was taken from him. Instead of showing anger or remorse, he just laughed loudly. Some kind epiphany struck him. After that, he returned to his kingdom and govern as a wise king.
That is the Epic of Gilgamesh. The first Hero of human history
In FGO the Archer ver. of him is the young one while the Caster ver. is him after the quest of immortality
Also, y'know... Guy got summoned into an Era that directly conflicted with his own view of how humanity should be. For someone with the level of Ego Gil has? Yeah, not to surprised controlled genocide was his answer. Kinda tame in all honesty. I guess that's why he's still considered Good.
Gods forbid he was brought here in these times. World feels like more of a mess by the day.
@@colt1903 Eh, he's not that much different from his life in Uruk in younger days. Nothing really tame, just usual
Continue wednesday
No gilgamesh 😂 Gate of Babylon doesn't work against UBW. You should use EA before shirou uses his UBW 😂😊... stupid gilgamesh 😂😂😂
using Ea from start equals to admit that he was wrong about Shirou. And for Gil that`s would be a lot of emotional damage.
Be like Fighting Game Gil. Always have it out.
@@BekindBekbek so losing against a human due to his incompetence was better? Lol.
@@skychieftain I'm not sure that Gil even see Shirou as human being. And it's not about being human, but about fact that everything that was used against him is copies and fakes which all against Gil's ideology. He had to prove that originals are superior by beating Shirou's copies with his own originals. Basically he was baited.
@@BekindBekbek Gilgamesh clearly saw Shirou as inferior and not worth his time. He used the word faker and mongrel while addressing him.
By your logic, he should have defeated Shirou as the originals are very much better than the fake traced ones but due to plot they nullified each other
Gil biggest weakness is being the antagonist in a shounen, even if they wanted to have Shirou defeat him the excuses needed for it to happen could've been way better and actually make sense
It completely makes sense lol they literally explain it to your face twice in the anime.
Gilgamesh has been a cocky arrogant character from the first scene he was ever in. Him not pulling out his best weapon is completely in-character. Shirou and Archer’s powers being the perfect counter to his abilities also makes complete sense and was hinted at since the first time Archer interacted with Gil
Even considering all this, Shirou didn’t even “beat” Gilgamesh, he injured him and cut his arm, but look at the end of the fight. Shirou is on the floor out of mana and Gil is standing there frustrated but completely able to finish him off.
You’re very likely just a blind Gil or Zero fanboy, it’s obvious when you call Fate Stay Night of all things a shounen lol
@@Squidward-jv7go Nah I don't give a shit about "defending" characters, I'm talking about poor narrative and inconsistencies. Servants are basically superheroes, where even a Caster with E ranked Strength is strong enough to crush a skull with 1 hand, and Gilgamesh is basically the strongest servant, I don't find it "weird" that he didn't use Ea from the get go as that wouldn't make any sense because he has 10000 ways to easily defeat Shirou that don't involve Ea. For starters Gilgamesh is very competent in melee even when nerfed in the Archer class, if Shirou's copying ability is so broken that he can easily be one of the strongest melee fighters in history that's just lame narrative, if he doesn't it makes no sense that a prepubescent school boy has the upper hand in CQC against Gil. Gil can instantly equip his armor and no that excuse of "he doesn't think Shirou's worthy of the aarmor"is bullshit as in any other route and other series he wears his armor even to take a shit, it never bothered him to wear it in front of X people. But they had Gil not wear his armor at all in the entire route because that's the route where Shirou needs to defeat him and if even Saber with Excalibur couldn't bypass that armor how much more bullshit they'd need for Shirou to achieve it? That's why Gil doesn't wear his armor at all. UBW only counters GoB spam machine but the difference between GoB and UBW is that UBW copies weapons while GoB has a ton of other stuff like shields, spells, conceptual weapons that Shirou wouldn't be able to copy, Gil also can turn an overpowered clairvoyance at any time to basically predict any move and outcome.
Poor narrative is when you build a character, you establish a certain number of abilities and skills that character has and when you need to get that character killed you just forget about everything that character has and you brief it all with the lame quote of "you're a king not a warrior", which btw is said by a prepubescent student.
If you can't understand why that's garbage writing and storytelling there's nothing else to discuss here
@@zandergamer5429 Gil being average in swordmanship is consistent throughout the whole Fate universe. He never fights an opponent in a sword brawl, and even when he does, he makes sure to spam GoB on them when they come close to him to maintain his distance. Shirou at this point has (not fully) Archer's swordmanship, which he mastered after aeons of summoning, and it was clearly stated Shirou will caught up to Archer during their fight. Aside from that, projection allows the wielder to use the skills and swordsmanship of the people in possession of the weapon he projects, which was established early on in the fate route.
Gil's lack of armour is also consistent; due to his arrogance, he doesn't care who his opponents are or whether they are worthy or not, while putting on the armour on a whim. For example, while fighting the Berserker, who is a mile above Shirou in terms of power. Even when he decides to wear it in other Fate series, his upper half is always missing in F/HA, F/Extra, or while fighting Enkidu in FGO. He knows it’s a risk. He just doesn’t care. Gilgamesh cares more about being consistent in his values than he does about achieving results. After all, he’s a hero.
Anime is quite different from VN. In VN, Gil lost because Shirou didn't give him any room to breathe. The fight in VN is brief; Shirou immediately closes in on Gil after activating UBW. Shirou quickly forces Gil into a close fight, attacking him without giving Gil a moment to "relax," which causes him to lose his composure, so he won't be able to make any counterattacks while UBW takes care of GoB. Consider this analogy: if someone is attempting to kill you with a knife, you will not look for the gun in the drawer but instead focus on dodging the knife while being pressured by the assailant and not allowed to think. By the time you figured it out through thinking, it would be too late. As I have mentioned above, Gil isn't a warrior in swordmanship; he's just average at it. He would lose in a swordfight if he didn't have GoB to keep his distance, as stated in other series.
Ok here is the deal with Sha Naqba Imuru. It works differently from how Merlin's or Solomon's clairvoyance work. With it, he can see the truth behind a situation or the true names of things. For example, if he is fighting Artoria, he could see that she is using Excalibur instead of Caliburn without her needing to activate her NP. This skill does allow him to look into the future to a certain degree, but one big "downside" of this ability is that Gilgamesh purposefully doesn't use it most of the time. Another thing is that even if he looks into the future, he doesn't get all the information that led up to the thing that he is seeing (for example, in Fate/Strange Fake, he is confused by the fishing scene from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia). Another downside of this ability is that it's not all powerful; some things like the grail mud can actually block his future sight ability to some degree (we technically don't know what specifically he wanted to take a look at at that exact moment, but Gilgamesh does mention the mud is blocking it). And now comes the biggest and most fatal flaw of Sha Naqba Imuru: It is a Noble Phantasm that is owned by Gilgamesh, which means that even if he were to see something like being killed by a fake grail or a faker, he would just dismiss those possibilities as impossible. The main function of Sha Naqba Imuru is to guide Gilgamesh towards the best possible options for him, but Gilgamesh is a very moody and arrogant person who doesn't really like following guidelines or paths that aren't to his taste, so the power of Sha Naqba Imuru is simply similar to most of the NP in his treasury being wasted most of the time. Gil keeps it intentionally restrained, which is also consistent in F/Extra and FGO.
Please double-check your facts before saying things like "poor narration" or "garbage storytelling," especially if you don't know what is consistent and what isn't, because they are consistent throughout the fate universe. Saying "F/SN is shonen"-come on; it's been 20 years; shounen = target audience (not a genre). F/SN VN was aimed explicitly at adults.
@@neonplays609 It's not consistent, Gilgamesh is said to be fighting Saber equally for a while in the Fate route while other servants like Archer couldn't keep up with her which is another reason why Shirou copying Archer's skills shouldn't be enough to completely overwhelm Gil.
Also something I think you missed from my comment which doesn't only work for this matter specifically but it's also my main point here, is that I said myself that I know Shirou copies skills and not just weapons, what I call bad writting (and obviously very shounen like) is that Shirou has this magic that allows him to keep up with the strongest servant ever without a single year of training that has nothing to do with his mana boost as that basically only allows him to keep on going without running out of mana while in the Fate universe there're mages from ancient families that have been studying magic for centuries and these mages don't hold a candle to the weakest of servants, but this random prepubescent in a couple months of "learning" develops this magic that is completely overpowered and a cheap plot device.
Never said there isn't a "reason" for Shirou to do X thing, I said it's horrible writting and a cheap excuse.
Gil's lack of armor is definitely consistent no matter how you look at it, he's wore his armor against servants he's never met before and he hasn't given a shit, he has wore his armor against Caster in Fate Zero who he disgusted, he wore his armor to a fucking banquet where he was just drinking and talking (and by then he didn't respect Saber or Rider), he wore his armor against Caster in Fate route (because that's the route where Saber fights and defeats him) when Gil clearly thought very poorly of her. He has wore his armor in MANY occasions and hasn't ONCE mentioned that someone wasn't worthy of seeing the armor or him not needing it, the route in which he NEVER wears it is of course the one where Shirou's the one meant to defeat him, that's an objective inconsistency like it or not.
I read the VN a long time ago and that doesn't take away anything I said, for starters I said that Gil shouldn't be struggling against a prepubescent who didn't know anything about fighting or magic a couple weeks ago and EVEN if you accept how horrible the writing is with projection magic and Shirou has Archer's skills he should still be outclassed, and you can only justify so much and make excuses with Gil being "shocked" or "in denial" to a certain degree, what would be next, Gil was so full of himself and was so shocked he forgot to breathe as well?
And I mention Sha Naqba Imuru as one out of MANY (that I already mentioned) devices and skills Gil could use (immediately as well), I'm aware that he has it off all the time because he finds it boring but that thing DOES allow him to look into different possible timelines and moves he has to take to overcome his opponent so it's an even better clairvoyance or at least more suited for combat.
Also FSN being a shounen it's not a matter of beliefs, it's officially a shounen even though the narrative and the way the story works with all the cliches and predictable characters and outcomes should make it obvious.
Finally, I do respect that you want to defend an anime/novels/universe you obviously (judging by your profile pic) like a lot, but I'm just giving an opinion in one hand (because even though it's obvious poor writing for me many people like predictable outcomes and having boring hero characters that get the girl and defeat the bad guy in the most cliche way possible) and on the other hand I've pointed out irrefutable inconsistencies, I do like the Fate saga a lot but I don't consider myself a huge fan, I just like to judge series for what they are in the most objective and neutral way possible which you clearly can't do (and again I understand), but still I'm clearly not the one who needs to double check their facts.
You forgot Fate Route Saber Atoria is weaker because he has Shirou as her mana supply. Yet Gil still fought her with full armor
This episode just makes me sick tbh. In a reality marble WHERE Gil can use EA without any problems and yet...BOOOOO *throws rotten veggies at the writers*
Are they going to watch Heaven's Feel?
If gilgamesh went serious from the start and used his ultimate weapon he would have destroyed shiro
but then it would mean that he was wrong about Shirou. Which is also loss for Gil. Basically he lost when he accepted this fight)
lol ya Gil just died like that by the one that cant beat Berserker
can`t? NLBW: Am I joke to you?
@@BekindBekbek is this look like Shirou with Archer arm?
