Fate Lore - The Tale of Gilgamesh & Enkidu 

nay, even in mythology he is but a smug asshole who has to see his best friend/possible lover die before him to change his antics. Although it is said that he ultimately redeems himself and becomes a wise and just ruler, accepting death and rejoining with Enkidu in the afterlife. I like it more where he is but a god-tier bully with no profound motivation for his malice, who has to learn humility the hard way.

OtakuDaiKun yes mongrel

OtakuDaiKun 1: HELL YEAH!!! (The Video) 2: Yes, I do but I believe that it can only understood rather explained 3: Do King Hassan Next

To how he conducted himself then and during his Grail Wars? Heyell no. But I do believe it's possible for him to be redeemed from them via his more positive role in this game--and possibly Extella. S'why I keep semi-jokingly pitching him n' Artoria as a side pairing, whatever that would entail--like, if she could see what he's like in his Caster incarnation. :P

Kinda also thank you for doing these

Emiko Lina Such beautiful words of poetry

Such a wonderful poetry

I'm stealing this

I'm screaming

Five feet appart 'cause they not gay!

You: Awwww cute cats! Gilgamesh: Zashu You: ? Gilgamesh: -cough- meow

Yep the anime has done a good job on it.

I could say they fucked like bunnies but it's not as poetic.

LOL .. Just say it.

Tsukihime Lore: *"they bang"* _I beg to differ._

Magus of Phantasm ?

Fate's Gil has spectacular abs tho.

Oh, it's there He just has to go AUO Castoff

@@otakudaikun he should have more! He is way too skinny and delicate to be the heavy weight lifter he is in mythology, excluding his magical super strenght, his Fate counterpart would seriously risk snapping in half if the real Gilgamesh sneezed too hard.

Fate's Gil tends to go topless or naked to show off his supposedly perfect body, so the legend is not too far off.

Gil's Charisma skill has to some from somewhere~

In the story, everyone is made of Clay, even Gil.

That's how babies are made, Children. Time before birds

YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSS

Does it matter to bl girl?

It’s not gay if it’s clay pass it along

@@jkosch Thats the joke. Gilgamesh is obsessed with Artoria because she's basically that one toy he can't have and that excites him. If he did obtain her he would lose interest immediately. What Gilgamesh has with Enkidu is genuine. He's his best friend and the only person Gilgamesh see's as an equal, hence Enkidu's death devastating him.

@@jkosch same

@@jkosch well, in the Fate Lord, Enkidu and Gilgamesh seem to just have this really beautiful friendship, yet in the Epic of Gilgamesh it's pretty clear it isn't that way. It's actually stated that Gilgamesh loved Enkidu as a wife, so at the end, it really depends on what you want to believe

@@myth6770 I think their relationship is somewhat of a "friend with benefits" At the time (and for great part of history) women were seen as inferior to man, thats why for that time the king seeing a woman (enkidu can effectively shapeshift and his shape was from a woman) as his equal would be unacceptable, that's why it has this confusion. Gil probably had romantic feelings towards his friend and enkidu could or could not have reciprocated (I think he/she actually did) but people couldn't be so open about it. That's what I think at least

@@Sharkakaka well, in the game it's not confirmed or denied anything about their relationship, only about them being the best of friends and how Enkidu's death affected profoundly Gilgamesh as a character. But in the Epic of Gilgamesh Enkidu was a half beast/half man and it was openly known that they where more than friends. Gilgamesh had visions of sleeping with Enkidu and he stopped sleeping with everyone's wives when Enkidu came to Uruk. So again, it really depends of what anyone wants to think.

One of his parents is a God, while the other is a demi God, making Gil only a third human, that's how I see it

@@v0rtexbeater but that would make gilgamesh only 1/4 human. for gilgamesh to be 1/3 human, he'd have to be born to a 2/3 human and full god

uh, genetics? that is a human constructs :D they can shot and fart thunders so wtv

math was probably not their strong suit

@@v0rtexbeater no it makes him 3/4th god

@@Visitormassacre I thought Gilgamesh Archer is before going to searching for Herb of Immortality?

They actually are very much the same. It's simply that he is of the age where he isn't as arrogant as his younger self and more calmer version.

Don’t tell me you’ve known Gilgamesh just with fate ? Go to school

I feel you XD I roller Enkidu while trying to get Salter

yes please do caster gilgamesh version side !!

Meic Congrats!

I'm jealous to the point I would hack your account.

Enkidu always ignores me i got np 2 karna instead

Np3 sorry i like karna so i don't mind

This comment is an accurate description of how I feel right now aaah I never really liked Ishtar but now that I've watched this, I have a full valid reason 😂

Maybe same reaction as against Solomon(Goetia)

speaking of him...

The original man of culture and simp (He simped for Artoria to the point of forgetting his goal during the 5th Holy Grail War and keep holding back until he lost)

@@ryannguyen7466 I don't think he simps Artoria. It's more like the moment Artoria becomes a part of his treasure, he would lose all interest in her.

@@theasiantitan3554 carnival phantasm tells me otherwise

@@starwhale3070 Give me an example of what would really happen if Artoria became one of girls treasures? Enkidu unlike Artoria was a genuine friend to Gilgamesh, and they are different in several ways, so realistically, Artoria would be forgotten by Gilgamesh, not completely, but very much forgotten.

He’s also Daru from Steins Gate.

That's deadass how I initially learned about it.

@@JTheFool who?

Correct.

It's also why "Kid Gil" even exists as a Servant. In Fate/hollow ataraxia, which is something of a sequel to Fate/stay night (sorta, not really), Rin pulled some experiment which 'merged possibilities', or something, leading to nearly every Servant/character surviving the Fifth war. Gilgamesh was still staying at the Church, but said Church now had a new overseer, Caren, who was much more restrictive with Gil. In an effort to get some reprieve, as well as avoid interacting with the other Servants/former Masters, he takes on his child form, and even fights a few battles with it. Kid Gil also appears in Prisma Illya, but that's a different thing, entirely.

Enkidu is "genderless". Enkidu is essentially like the player. Capable of altering their gender at will so you can consider them both

@@Sharkakaka They were originally male as per the mythology in Fate/Zero; it was changed to genderless in later installations.

@@dragoncannon I know but the fact that he can shapeshift was something that was always a fact in fate

@@Sharkakaka Yes, but that doesn't contradict the canonical settings he was given (i.e. male in F/Z).

@@dragoncannon as a wise man once said "it's not gay if it is clay"

and bitches, he is a bitch after all.

@@basilofgoodwishes4138 is he tho

Another Siegfried fans? 🤔

Torpedo 83 At least Gilgamesh learned his lesson by the time of his death.

also Genetics don't work that way, there can't be a 1/3 human and 2/3 god person, it depends on if the traits are dominant or recessive, so technically if you are talking about the phenotypes , there can be a 2/3 god 1/3 human person

fun fact, the bull of heaven's design first appeared in a doujin art book along with other designs for various things in the nasuverse before type moon hired the artist and made it official

Enkidu's bio in FGO says "they", I havent played Babylonia yet so idk if they call themself "he". Enkidu from the actual Epic of Gilgamesh is "he" though, but that doesn't necessarily carry over to the Fate version (just look at Artoria, Nero, Drake, etc)

I CAN NOT STOP TWINKLING that name though

Can you point out when Enkidu refers to themself as he? Everyone in FGO uses they.

rip

I actually gather my images from Zerochan, so if you search through their Enkidu images you should be able to find it.

Fate Zero.

I know that feeling. I know

"Genderless" Enkidu was capable of altering it at will

That's just a fanart if Gilga had his way.

with benefits galore lol

My first ideas on Servants to combat the teams already present are Child-Gilgamesh, Caster Gilgamesh, Young Lancer Li Shuwen, Berserker Lancelot, Abigail, the four Hassans, and Berserker Nightingale. My tentative assumption is that Florence Nightingale’s obsessive pursuit of cleanliness, health, and healing others makes her the equal and anathema of Pale Rider, the embodiment of Pestilence and Disease. Her Nightingale Pledge, which brings healing to her allies and merely debuffs the enemy, might actually harm Pale Rider because of its nature as a living curse. Plus her healing ability in tandem with Irisviel, Medea Lily and others might just be enough to help Tsubaki. Hassan of the Hundred Faces would already be present as part of the initial investigation team, and would hardly miss her contemporaries. I imagine the other Hassans (ESPECIALLY King Hassan) would be very intent on speaking with them, but whether to denounce or praise, I cannot say. Lancer Li and Lancelot are to be dispatched against Orlando and his police officers to prove a point, with specific orders and a command seal for the latter. “Do not use your Noble Phantasms (meaning no spear or No Second Strike for Li, and no Arondight for Lancelot), and do not kill the enemy unless I authorize it.” I want to prove how contemptuously easy it is for Li to beat them without even using his primary weapons, and have Lancelot demonstrate how their Noble Phantasm strategy could be turned against them with horrifying ease. Their plan is possible in theory, but almost impossible in practice, and I’d prefer to educate them on that painfully, before another Servant schools them *fatally.* I admit it’s total speculation on my part, but my idea is that since Abigail acts as the key and gate to other dimensions, she would naturally be able to perceive an entity like Watcher, that no other being but Sigma could see. My idea to send Kid Gil and Caster Gilgamesh hinges on Archer Gilgamesh and Enkidu’s sense of values. I would send in two Servants who are undeniably weaker in terms of pure power, but we would still fight anyway with ingenuity, foreknowledge and pure, thick-headed determination. My hope is that the two of them would be satisfied with our demonstration enough to agree to an alliance. Plus sending Kid Gil to fight Enkidu leaves Gilgamesh unable to accuse us of sending a mongrel to fight his friend, because how could he complain if He’s the one fighting?

Raven Vandom It's from the 2006 FSN anime ost.

Merry Christmas!

please or gorgon

It's Utnapistim and no it doesn't sound anything like a pokemon name. If you think that sounds like an Pokemon name then you never heard his Sumerian name: Ziusudra.

@@basilofgoodwishes4138 sounds like a great caster servant and Babylonian still have some weirder name convention???

*Sumerians and yes the Mesopotamians have a lot of "wierder" name conventions like Nabopolassar( babylonian) and Ninkasi( Sumerian). Utnapishtim wouldn't work since he isn't dead.

@@basilofgoodwishes4138 so ereshkigals realm persist in the reverse side of the world

Trust me, the story is still good. Quite a few people had this much or more spoiled for them (me included) by playing the Japanese version before the English version became available. We could really understand the story, but we still had a general idea based on the fights/quest. And I can guarantee the story was still amazing. Like seriously, it's the way it all happened that made it amazing. Not to mention he cut out details so that it only included Enkidu and Gilgamesh, there's more than just this much going on in Babylonia (though admittedly, this was the hypest stuff, but there's still more).

Pokemon9403 YT Except all of this was already in the game for a while now.

when it's finished so before the tskukihime remake but after fgo's part 25

Consider: Fake Rider pretty much has to show up as an enemy in the Beast VI chapter. Also consider: Whatsisname Chaos is explicitly compared to Beast VI.

Merlin definitely does. I'll be covering him soon enough.

@@otakudaikun I didn't expect a reply from you at all. Happy new years

@@RavenVandom You as well^^

no.

:Penny That’s a real mindfuck

His father is a demigod. His mother a goddess

@@fluthlight7131 That makes him 2/3rd human.

The closest you get is in Fate/Strange Fake

@@usernamesarestupid7104 tyty i went thru all of grand order just to get a bit of enkidu lore, now onto strane/fake

It's from Fate/Zero.

Князь Шаурма You should really check out my video, "the lore of Fate/Stay Night".

Because he was a caster. Honestly I dunno.
