One of the stories I've heard about jack the ripper is that the reason they mutilate their victims is because of their desire to return back to their mothers womb. I think that's the basis for the jack the ripper of Apocrypha.
@@ArlanKelsprobably my favourite thing about servants. One legend can be warped and interpreted in different ways which allows one individual to manifest as a servant in many different forms.
Waver didn't gaslight Flat about the "relic". It was just a misunderstanding. Waver thought Flat had just gotten distracted from thoughts of the Grail War by the toy knife, so he let him have it.
@arts1628 pretty sure Enkidu is an avatar of Gaia, not Alaya. While "walking with humanity" might evoke the idea of humanity's consciousness, awakening the breath of the planet would be calling on Gaia itself.
@@Slays_MediaHe/she can connect to the Counter Force, which is the combined force of Gaia and Alaya. Gaia and Alaya might disagree on a lot of things but when it comes to protecting the planet, they usually joined forces.
Here is the explanation and identity of Enkidu. Enkidu is a character based off of Gilgamesh's real life tale. When Gilgamesh was king of Uruk the gods created this existence named Enkidu to put the arrogant Gilgamesh in his place and when they met and fought their battle went on for days until Gilgamesh realized he was enjoying himself and the fight ended with the two becoming best friends and the two would journey together which lead to Gilgamesh becoming the most wealthy king in history. Enkidu was eventually put to death by the gods and as he passed away Gil stayed by his side proclaiming he was his only friend and when Enkidu died Gilgamesh grieved for his lost friend and went into a deep depression that sent him on a journey for immortality. Gilgamesh stated that Enkidu is the only one hell acknowledge as his equal and thus in Fate they're ranked as equal in strength. That is Enkidu, the person who's lore states him as both Gil's equal and his one true friend.
@@ottersaurus "Non-binary" is a human-made identity. "Non-binary" and "genderless" is simply not the same, as "non-binary" will still be on a spectrum between male and female, whereas "genderless" is not on a spectrum at all, it's literally the most binary thing possible. Rocks aren't non-binary. Earth isn't nonbinary. Water isn't non-binary. In FGO, Enkidu is not non-binary, he is simply clay, and object, a tool, a robot of the earth. However, Gil, and those who became close to Enkidu referred to him as a "he" and "boy". I guess to show they considered him a person, and not just an object. In the ACTUAL legend of Gilgamesh, Enkidu is just unambiguously a male.
Pretty sure that we don't have any orignal texts describing Enkidu's and Gilgamesh's fight, however the text pick up again at the end of the fight with them kissing.
For some context to why Gilgamesh and Enkidu could both use "Enuma Elish" it's because the term Enuma Elish refers to the ancient Babylonian tale of creation. Gilgamesh's Enuma Elish from Ea is the ultimate power to destroy creation and reenact genesis where Enkidu's is the exact opposite. The ultimate power to create so when the two clash they cancel each other out as Enkidu is able to create as quickly as Gil is able to destroy. Hence why both can use Enuma Elish and how their noble phantasm are equal in strength.
Additional context: Though the pronunciation is the same, each has different a furigana/epithet. Gilgamesh uses "Enuma Elish - Star of Creation That Split Heaven and Earth," while Enkidu uses "Enuma Elish - O Humans, Let Us Chain the Gods."
@8:30 Gilgamesh is not turning into someone else, technically-speaking. The potion he was planning to drink is the potion of youth, he uses it to revert back to a younger, child-like form. Gilgamesh does this to pass the time out of boredom. It not only affects his body, but his mind, allowing him to experience life through a youthful and childish mindset while keeping all the adult memories of his life. It's a really trippy potion.
In case anyone miss some other Fate/Type Moon reference here: - Big 3 family of Fuyuki Grail War - Caster saying a similar dialogue similar to Shirou's "Just because it's fake doesn't mean it can't surpass the original" - Jeanne D'arc mentioned by the old loli - Zelretch & Grey cameo - Ayaka is the name of the protagonist which is also a real master of a previous series called Fate Prototype - ORT
Caster was refering to Shirou much more directly in manga and light novel saying:if you want a lot of copies of Noble phantasm's there are other people who might be better at that then me.First he mention's Elmur de Hory the painter and a rumor about the guy who can produce the infinite amount's of weapons via some incredible magecraft whitch was obviosly him.
Wait what, ORT is mentioned in this OVA? ORT is mentioned by whom in this OVA? FGO lostbelt 7 spoilers: I don't know much about ORT just from what I heard from LB7 spoilers, It is the lostbelt king on LB7.
@@salmanalfarizi5994 It's the "Spider" Zelretch have been busy monitoring the Strange Fake timeline because of the possibility of the Spider awakening early because of one of the master's wish. Dude really needs his own series fr
And don't forget that every weapon from Gate of Babylon and Age of Babylon are real NPs. Meaning this short encounter between them had enough power to cream hundreds of servants with ease. That's just how powerful the Gil - Enkidu duo is.
12:27 Lord El-Melloi was thinking he would give Flat a game, but he actually gave him a relics for Jack the Ripper. That's why Flat was happy because he thought his teacher would allow him to participate in war.
The light novel expands on this - Waver picked up one of Rider's hobbies and got into video games. This knife was a piece of rare merch from a game about Jack The Ripper, which Waver didn't really want, he just got it because he reviewed the game and won a raffle However, Flat thought it was a real relic and used it, bringing in a more fictional/urban legend version of Jack that doesn't have a set identity and is based on all the many different stories and theories about him
Actually the real reason he summoned Jack is Spoiler Flat has another person living inside of him thats dangerous enough to massacre all of humanity and that person is the catalyst for jack the ripper
Enkidu is androgynous or more so genderless (hence the "it" form Faldeus) since its a divine god's mud puppet given form by feelings of the secret prostitute girl named Shamhat (the appearance of Enkidu is close to her look in Fate's version of the myth), buut at the same time Enkidu is genderfluid (and sometimes called as "he" or "she"). Enkidu stems from the Epic of Gilgamesh where they where created by gods, to be a weapon of the nature (planet and gods) a Chain of Heavens and Gods, to chain Gilgamesh back to the gods rule but instead when they first fought a long days and nights they became best friends and rivals, with Enkidu becoming the ally of humanity on the planet - going on the journey with Gil.
No, no, Enkidu is genderLESS. He is called "he" by most (Siduri and Gil refers to him as "boy"), some think he's "she" because he did take the appearance of a woman, but in actuality, Enkidu is an "it". In the epic, he's just a hairy dude, lmao.
@@darklordsatan4383 That is more or less what i said, yes. Genderless (technically with androgynous features) but for pronounce it can go ether way in Fate.
the city of snowfield is this anime's version of las vegas. all of the architecture, signs, and atmosphere just gives you the los vegas vibe. Also, I think that was jesus christ about to show them up.
tbh I saw another reactor say they saw that lake/park where flat summoned jack in a city in california and originally this was suposed to be in california but they changed it to nevada later, I wonder which city it was though
relic is needed if you want a specific servant or something close to it but in reality it is not needed for a summoning 12:10 even a fake item is good enough in some case if the servant is compatible with you
catalyst isn't necessary should be personal belonging of Heroic spirit. It's the connection itself that matters. If the item that can remind about heroic or fiction figure it counts as catalyst. Even Master's personality or his body (like diseases or genes) can be counted as catalyst. But yeah the personal belongings or mythical items that have connections to the legend or history of Heroic spirit can be qualified as more suitable catalyst that can increase rate of summoning needed servant
True. Like i get it all of us are exaited but its not fair to spoil others if they don't want to be spoiled. EDIT: Holy shit someone really spoiled the thing about the end scene🙄
Nah, no one really is spoiling the F/SF Story itself much (for now at least), its only lore that will make the experience better. Much more info is also supposed to be here from the 1st Novel (and all TM material) but the Script had to be rushed (well you can say A1 made pacing faster with all good moments) so 1st Volume was to be adapted into this 1 Special Episode and many hints was lost. Its fine really. Everyone can forget it in time the main F/SF TV Series drops anyway. F/SF is just a work like this, its an ensemble of all TM media.
It's pretty wild how many people were spoiling identities not revealed until a few volumes in. In a season that could be like something you'd see in 8+ weeks and they just drop it anyway
Though this is a special prequel-like thing to kick off the show for the future as someone who's read the light novel it's very promising! i feel like some things have been glossed over but i can see why it was adapted this way.
The guy at the end is Zelretch, he is mentioned in many other Fate media but we've only seen him animated very briefly in Heaven's Feel He is a Sorcerer who controls the Sorcery of manipulating parallel worlds, and an immortal who travels to whichever universes he wants. He helped the three families create the Fuyuki Holy Grail, which is where we saw him animated before, during that flashback Illya showed Shirou in Heaven's Feel. Shirou was able to replicate Zelretch's Jewel Sword by seeing it in the flashback, and then Rin used it to fight Sakura's shadows, by pulling mana from parallel worlds to match the mana Sakura got from the Grail. And that power was from just a copy of one of the items this guy has made throughout his life
Gilgamesh enuma elish and destroy the world seven times over While enkidu enuma elish is said to be create or bind world seven time Together they are known as genesis
3:16 it's those small moments that remind you this tall seemingly intimidating teacher who likes to smoke is actually our little Waver from Fate/Zero 😅
The spamming of weapons machinegun style was actually Enkidu's usual method of combat. He can make high quality weapons from the earth. Gil had to counter by doing the same with Gate of babylon during their very first encounter in life, so much that he actually used up his far fewer treasures at the time. And that lasted for days and nights until they decided to just duke it out in a brawl.
@@BocchiRock420 Yeah it's the reverse, it's Enkidu that was inspired by Gilgamesh use of his Gate of Babylon as a projectile spam. Also hilariously, Enkidu uses his weapon creation like a very precise scalpel and always chided Gilgamesh for using using the Gate like a crude weapon barrage.
The thing for the toy/replica managing to summon THIS jack the ripper is actually pretty simple : this is the version of jack the riper that is the "amalgamation of the rumors and legends of jack the ripper" as such he can be brought forth through any item referencing his legends, including a toy or replica. if anything the link would be stronger because as a public use item it is more connected to "the legend" than "the person". I guess the same would happen for Vlad who has a "historical" and "legendary version" (historical being vlad3 the impaler the real person, and legendary being dracula) you would get the OG vlad from an item he had a personal connection to, but if you use some more "public" item then you would get the legend/myth version which would be the vampire dracula (although you can force the normal one to turn into the legendary version for the case of dracula. On the other hand I guess you could turn THIS jack into apocrypha's jack as well because she would be included in "the legend of jack the ripper" as one of the different myths surrounding it)
Welcome to the Best of all Peak Fate series That old man in the end is the Kaleidoscope ojisan, also (S)ayaka master of saber both series is also the protag in Fate/Prototype (anymore info would be a spoiler) All Servants and Most of the masters here are all OP Broken asf specially when the Dead Apostle also joins the war
The visuals from A-1 here are insane, its the feast for the eyes, probably most different and rich Type-Moon animation in adaptation since maybe some of FGO Camelot Movie 2. Really fun. "The animation is brought to life by A-1 Pictures, who also animated Fate/Apocrypha in 2017. Taking the directorial reins are Shun Enokido and Takahito Sakazume, who have produced animated trailers for the mobile game Fate/Grand Order and the novel version of Fate/strange Fake. With their contemporary touch, Enokido and Sakazume are sure to delight Fate fans with their dynamic and expressive animation." The duo absolutely nailed it visually. This is a great bonus to the F/SF LN's.
I am actually happy that they went on the similar approach to the anime style of Baccano and Durarara. I also love the touch, that they focus more on the characters' eye than their facial features.
Wanted to correct myself once more about the Zelretch - he is the STUDENT of the King of Mages, King Solomon not the reverse (teacher) in Nasuverse lol. King Solomon is the teacher of few talented mages from his era, yeah. Idk why written teacher for Zel, maybe i was mixing things up when thinking about Solomon and how Zel is pretty much a teacher to a new generation of modern mages as well.
All done with the prologue, now you gotta wait at least a year for the first chapter. And yes it was just a toy Flat had, but he's just that kind of magic user. Kid does what he does.
Enjoyed you're blind reaction comments, it was fun and on point! Hope TV Series script don't rush things in adaptation this much so the wow effect of some story reveals would be even more exciting.
Ah yes Zelretch or as i know him mr kaleidoscope. I was just happy there was a cameo from my favorite emo girl Gray! So hyped for the main series but god knows how long the wait will be.
You have to watch Babylonia: Demonic front my bwoii. You hav time before the season starts next year… In the ancient epic of Gilgamesh, Enkidu was made from clay by the Gods to chain Gilgamesh an unruly King. Thats why Gil said Enkidu can endlessly change his form (clayface basically) The battle in the square he speaks of is from legend when after sleeping with a divine harlot and taking her form partially ( basically a hermaphrodite) Enkidu and Gilgamesh fought for days on end. The fight was so intense Gil opened the gate of Babylon giving him unlimited access to his treasury which contains all noble phantasms, potions, wines, weapons, staffs, just the greatest of everything. At the end of their battle Gil and Enkidu became friends and Enkidu pledged himself as a weapon of Gils. So when you see Gil use the chains of heaven in any other Fate, like when he bound Hercules, thats him actually USING Enkidu as a weapon. Enkidu was never a hero but a divine being that was recalled by the Gods for refusing to kill Gil. Thats why buddy said the Chimera did something shocking and brought forth a divine spirit rather than a heroic one…
You should try giving The Case Files of Ell Melloy a watch, you get to know a few characters that were present here. It's like Waver is the Sherlock Holmes of the current era ^_^
I assume you have watched fate/zero, okay so when iskandar was fighting gil, he(rider) asked gilgamesh to be his friend but gil says he has only one friend and its enkidu right here
Besides all mighty 'immortal' Sorcerer of the Second True Magic of Kaleidoscope of Parallel Worlds and Wizard Grand Marshal, one of the founders of Magic Association, the student of King Solomon (yes he is that old, and yes THAT Solomon) - Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg - in the end scene we also have an ex-member of the Holy Church and ingénues mage of Labyrinths on conceptual level, creator of one of the Holy Scripture Apocryphas - Cubac Alcatrazz. They are one of these insanely powerful mage circles who are friends with each other, throwing tea parties and discussing state of the Worlds (magecraft with magic included) as you see how Zel talks (and Narita tease) about one of OG final Type-Moon \ Nasuverse final bosses, one of the 'Types', the 'world ending "Spider" - the ORT' that sleeping in America's underground. Curiously In the Tsukihime Universe (which a different Type of Universe in comparison Fate, apart of F/SF unique Type of World setting which has all Nasuverse worlds elements mixed in) both are Dead Apostle Ancestors (became so in different ways) aka high rank vampires and witnessed the birth of Elemental which is close to be an Archetype of planet Earth (the Brain of the planet Earth), the Princess of True Ancestors and the main heroine from Tsukihime - Arcueid Brunestud from that Universe. The scene is interesting even if you don't know all that original material and Nasuverse lore since it set ups so many things to come in the F/SF story that will be reveled later, and great if you return with all that info back to revisit the F/SF media.
By the way, Fate version Enkidu is not “she”. Fate Enkidu is genderless clay doll made by gods. But in the Epic of Gilgamesh, this version of Enkidu is, without a doubt, “he”.
I've been nuking comments on this one like crazy, so I'll just give a warning for people to read. IF A CHARACTER HASN'T BEEN EXPLICITLY NAMEDROPPED IN THIS OVA, HOLD THE SPOILERS. THIS IS A REACTION CHANNEL AND NOBODY GIVES A DAMN HOW MUCH FATE MEDIA YOU'VE CONSUMED.
It's the oldest story in the world The Epic of Gilgamesh Enkidu was Gilgamesh's one and only friend The chains of the heavens I think every human should at least know of it The oldest story is a story of bromance 🤣🤣 And you're guaranteed to hate Ishtar
@@Yukidayou I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just stating why I thought that was the case at first. The context is that this time around the war has differences, so I went with that context until it was shown the girl cut the dudes hand off.
This has a lot of call backs to some of the previous series, like Fate Babylonia where Gilgamesh in his younger and more benevolent form is present, while Enkidu is a best friend and foil to Gil Another is the character of Flat which is a minor character in Waver's solo series (Grey is here too) Now for the best throwback of all the appearance of the female MC with a male saber class is a call back to fate prototype. Where even before the original fate series they are suppose to be the original character until they were swap with shiro and female saber
The Gilgamesh in Babylonia is actually older. That Gilgamesh was the real one and not a servant, but the events of Babylonia take place after Enkidu died and Gil left Uruk on his journey for immortality.
I've only watched Studio Deen's Fate, first 5 episodes of Fate/Zero, UBW, and the first season of Illya which I pretty much don't remember anything about, so I wouldn't even count Illya. LMAO! So, yeah, I don't know who Enkidu is. XD Oh, and Apocrypha. Don't worry. I'll learn one day. ;)
@@MangaZonesbro, we gotta revisit Fate/Zero for you. That and Lord El Melloi case files will really add to the Fate experience for you going into Strange Fake.
@Anriku_Reacts Babylonia doesn't really have any connection to zero or the movies since it's apart of fate grand order. It's perfectly fine to watch it as long as you know know Gil and watch the grand order ova to atleast know what it is.
@@MangaZones You can definitely watch it without finishing Zero, but I think people recommend that due to Gilgamesh since you get more character to him. Really the only required (loose required) thing would be First Order which introduces the start of F/GO
@@MangaZones you can watch any without watching others you dont get any important information from any of them thats a must for the other, its just small easter eggs
@@MangaZonesthey're right. As long as you watch FGO First order and perhaps the FGO Camelot movies, you can watch Babylonia. You could probably even get away with skipping the Camelot movies if you wanted to. While they chronologically take place right before Babylonia, the animated FGO works already skip the first five singularities since they add almost nothing to the story.
