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.

      @@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.

      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.

  • @天皇-l7t
    @天皇-l7t 5 лет назад +355

    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.

      Archer Gil has the same memory as the caster Gil, and he is from after his death. What you see in fate Go is Gil himself so he is not caster class but use magic for the efficiency of it, but in other series he is a servant and the fact that he seems arrogant, is mainly because he had lived the life he wanted and he just want to have some fun.

    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.

    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.

      He may have less firepower but this gil would be very dangerous in a holy grail war. Clairvoyance, no arrogance, wise mind. I dont see him loosing to anyone in fuyuki.

      @@bluemoon9683 ye no arrogance at all, fully aware of the singularities, fully aware of why the protag needs the grail, still refuses to give it away because they need his good will for it. in the HGW he simply doesnt want peasents to touch his treasure, in grand order he literally delays the saving of the world because he doesnt consider the only possible saviours worthy of his treasure. if thats not arrogance i dont know what is.
      also, clairvoyance and a wise mind dont help you shit if your master is incompetent, those are only helpfull when he is in control (except CV of cause, that shit may help in battle, however he still needs time to react, so it doesnt make him unbeatable).
      also, he also had his wise mind etc after he died in grand order and came back as a servant, so guess what, him being extremely pissed off and hot headed isnt because he is a servant, but more because of the situation he is confronted with in fuyuki. instead of a world where everyone follows and serves him and where he expected humans to grow even closer to percetion, a few thousand years later he sees a humanity that has gone further away from what he hoped it would evolve into and not only that, multiple peasants want his sacred treasure without his allowance yet alone without deserving any of his good will. none of that would change, it is literally the same person just in a different situation....

      Caster Gil only exist in the singularity, so if you summon him as an Caster in Canon, he would probably be different. Also, Tokyomi should have summoned Gil in his later wise years, since the catalyst was the fossilized snake skin that ate his herb, it was either a fluke or the corrupted grail's influince that he was summoned in his younger years.

      Pre Enkidu still fights the same way. See Kid Gil for example: He can just use fewer weapons and also can't use Ea.
