A major theme in Fate's version of Gilgamesh is his isolation, created as a result of ruling his people so cruelly. Do you think there's any merit to his philosophy?
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.
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
after Babylonia i gained a liking for Gilgamesh, or at least the caster version of him. the relationship between both him and Enkidu is probably my favorite one out of the Nasuverse. I hope the anime adaption of the Babylonia Singularity does this relationship justice.

one feature missing in Fate's Gilgamesh is his most special power: the divine abs. I am not joking, just by showing his muscles, anyone not of divine bloodline was compelled to bow before him. I still want an intetpretation of Gil where he is a giant burly middle-eastern man with a divine beard.
@@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.
@@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 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.
Every king has their own way to rule.. but how Gil used his authority really made an impact to the history... the conversation of Gil, iskandar and arthuria was epic. Great job writers...
Gilgamesh and Enkidu were a match made in heaven . . . that is until heaven decided to split them up. Caster Gilgamesh seems so different from his Archer variant. It's hard to believe that they're the same person. Love your lore videos Dai-kun. Your narration goes so well with the soundtracks.
I gotta say gilgameshs story is probably my favorite in all of fate and after knowing it I really like him now. Also, i got spooked by enkidu rolling for merlin hopefully ill get gil someday too!
Probably my favourite lore video of this channel. That part where Enkidu died made my eyes wet man. Had to wipe off my manly tears even though i knew it was coming. Btw, im sure Gil did not get snipped by Tiamat just because she chose to. He blocked it to protect Mash n friend but more importantly he was trying to find a way to die since suicide was outta question. My man killed 2 birds with one stone. My hate for Ishtar has transcended past the limit. Bcz of that thot poor Enkidu died and why? She got no kingly D. Shouldve just thrown a golden shovel at her. But yhhh fate 2006 really did a poor job at depicting Gil especially the part where Saber said he destroyed his own country. Great lore vid man, keep up the hard work!
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 😂
It's crazy going through the comments and seeing people wanting to watch The Babylonia era in an anime adaptation and now it finally has one. Curious to see what happens in the show and how they will portray the lore in it.
Yknow at first when i saw ubw i thought gilgamesh was just a generic villan type with an op power as usual but everscince plsying ubw and watching ur vids bout his story i saw him diffrently.
.... I kinda now want to see how this video would go if we had his route in CCC and his relationship to Hakuno Kishinami within the Extra verse considered.
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)
@@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.
There’s an excerpt (a part of the official drama CD: th-cam.com/video/aUaEoIzZI4o/w-d-xo.html ) from the original Fate/Zero novel where Gilgamesh had a flashback of Enkidu’s death after he watched Saber releasing the Excalibur, after which he said, “You fool who stretch your hand towards realms not of men… There is only one person in heaven or earth who’s worthy of appreciating your destruction, and that is none other than I, Gilgamesh. Oh, you glorious and illusionary being, sink into my embrace! That is my decision” while holding the Chains of Heaven (“Enkidu,” his favorite Noble Phantasm) in his hands. In other words, Gilgamesh saw Enkidu through Artoria who also devoted herself to her ideals. Apparently, Saber reminds everyone of their ex. Regarding Enkidu’s gender, you can see that in FZ he was originally designed as male as in accordance to the original Epic, only to be retracted in Fate/strange fake, where he officially was sexless. However, Enkidu uses the neutral but boyish pronoun “僕 boku (it is usually used by men)” in Japanese ("私 watashi" would be the truly neutral pronoun), and in all texts he was referred to by others as a “he (彼 kare, which can be neutral but is used towards animals in that case, but Enkidu is clay anyway so IDK),” including Gilgamesh. Enkidu also acts rather with an inclination towards the masculine side. And he is, if not always, presented in merchandise and events as wearing neutral or traditionally masculine attire.
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.
Merry Christmas. Once again this was awesome. Someone, I'd like to be a Servant, Kriemhild. She would be a Saber, since in Nibelungenlied, she used Balmung to get revenge on Siegfried's killers. It would also be great to reunite her with Siegfried and Altera. OT3!
ahem....... as a wise vine meme man once said : BEGONE THOT !!!! also while Enkidu is genderless, he still calls himself a "he" , so it's gay even if it's clay ;) Caster Gil is cool though , he learned humility and doesn't call everyone mongrel like his Archer/pre-journey self
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)
"Genderless" yes.. and yet one of his first actions which is not 'eating food' or 'exploring my surroundings' is *Tries to get with the first woman that he sees* To be fair, few people could truly say no to 'We are offering you a *Solid 10* that thinks you're neat.'
Hey Otaku Daikun I like you're a good person who fast in responding comment. Can I ask you something? I like your fate lore videos but where you get ancient music that in your video? Like in Angra Mainyu (Persian Music maybe) and also in Ishtar's video? Oh yeah and your background in your video. Are you make this with after effect? Because the colour change in different video (like purple in sakura, red in shirou, black in jack the ripper)?
For the people wondering about Gilgamesh's genetic math, his mom also got down with another god and instead of going on Springer, back then they just said he had two daddies
I assume you know of Fate/Strange Fake? I eagerly anticipate the day we will likely receive a crossover event in FGO, though I realize that will have to wait until Narita FINALLY finishes the book. I believe negotiations would be critical to achieve victory during the Snowfield Holy Grail War, along with information gathering, stealth, and calculated gambles. Step One: Rayshift in with Mash, Geronimo, Robin, Medea, Hundred-Faced Hassan and Kiritsugu. Mash because Kouhai is always good to have beside us., and she is very good at providing protection in a crisis. Geronimo is brought for his knowledge of the US and to aid in negotiations with the local tribe. Robin for his pragmatic wisdom, his knowledge of traps and espionage, and to abuse his No Face May King to keep him and ourselves invisible. Medea is an extremely skilled magus, whose scrying ability, item construction and territory creation skills work in perfect harmony with Hundred Face. Their Zabaniya is absolutely perfect for spying and infiltration, and with Caster’s magecraft supporting them, they could provide a truly staggering information network, allowing Chaldea to stay one step ahead of most of the opposition. Finally, Kiritsugu is The Magus Killer, and is exceptionally knowledgeable about the abilities and tendencies of magi. His experience with various magi would be invaluable, and his presence concealment and ruthless tactics would be undeniably effective. Plus, if this is a world much like FSN or Fate/Zero, he may very well have resources left behind by his counterpart from that world which could prove useful. I’m trying to think of various Servants to fight each team with, but Ivan only come up with a few.
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?
Hey there! Thanks a lot for doing this! Composition and narration, beautiful! And you credited the artists too! :) I wondered, who is the artist of the piece at 6:56? The one showing Gilgamesh and Enkidu, the one where Gil is resting and Enkidu pointing. I've been trying to find it everywhere in the urls you added and I failed :c
one question what if gilgamesh been summoned as a caster in fate zero and fate stay night in my really want to know what's going to happen in the story
@@otakudaikun no fucking wonder I'm guessing he was in his guy form when he was around gil because why would gil go after artoria when he had enkidu like what
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).
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.
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.
*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.
I only have 1 question: how do you end up with someone that's 1/3 mortal?? No matter how you mix it's supposed to be something divided by an even-number...Did he have 3 parents?
Gilgamesh was first introduced in the original Fate/Stay Night visual novel. He makes appearances in Fate/Zero and the animated versions of Stay Night. Enkidu was first introduced in Fate/Grand Order, specifically the Babylonia singularity you can watch in anime form.
@@otakudaikun thanks but, i already watch those, i mean, the story of Gilgamesh, Enkidu, etc, from when they were alive, ive seen random panels, but is there a manga? And where can i find it?

Merry christmas
"Genderless" yes.. and yet one of his first actions which is not 'eating food' or 'exploring my surroundings' is *Tries to get with the first woman that he sees*
To be fair, few people could truly say no to 'We are offering you a *Solid 10* that thinks you're neat.'
"Genderless" Enkidu was capable of altering it at will
Ufo could make a whole season of Gil's lore
Legit gil and enkidu is the best ship ever
Hey Otaku Daikun
I like you're a good person who fast in responding comment.
Can I ask you something?
I like your fate lore videos but where you get ancient music that in your video? Like in Angra Mainyu (Persian Music maybe) and also in Ishtar's video?
Oh yeah and your background in your video. Are you make this with after effect? Because the colour change in different video (like purple in sakura, red in shirou, black in jack the ripper)?
rip
Good job gilgamesh and enkidu really have a great friendship
I love your videos man
I just need these two to get together ❤ I ship them so hard.
Cant believe enkidu is a boy... this is the second time FATE! First astolfo now enkidu
King Hassan knows how to make an entrance
Herb is bottled ~ snake eats herb....
For the people wondering about Gilgamesh's genetic math, his mom also got down with another god and instead of going on Springer, back then they just said he had two daddies

Still haven’t finished Babylonia since I procrastinate, but I’m soooo watching this
I know that feeling. I know
I assume you know of Fate/Strange Fake? I eagerly anticipate the day we will likely receive a crossover event in FGO, though I realize that will have to wait until Narita FINALLY finishes the book.
I believe negotiations would be critical to achieve victory during the Snowfield Holy Grail War, along with information gathering, stealth, and calculated gambles.
Step One: Rayshift in with Mash, Geronimo, Robin, Medea, Hundred-Faced Hassan and Kiritsugu. Mash because Kouhai is always good to have beside us., and she is very good at providing protection in a crisis. Geronimo is brought for his knowledge of the US and to aid in negotiations with the local tribe. Robin for his pragmatic wisdom, his knowledge of traps and espionage, and to abuse his No Face May King to keep him and ourselves invisible. Medea is an extremely skilled magus, whose scrying ability, item construction and territory creation skills work in perfect harmony with Hundred Face. Their Zabaniya is absolutely perfect for spying and infiltration, and with Caster’s magecraft supporting them, they could provide a truly staggering information network, allowing Chaldea to stay one step ahead of most of the opposition. Finally, Kiritsugu is The Magus Killer, and is exceptionally knowledgeable about the abilities and tendencies of magi. His experience with various magi would be invaluable, and his presence concealment and ruthless tactics would be undeniably effective. Plus, if this is a world much like FSN or Fate/Zero, he may very well have resources left behind by his counterpart from that world which could prove useful.
I’m trying to think of various Servants to fight each team with, but Ivan only come up with a few.
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?
The sad part was when Gilgamesh took down Iskandar. I forgot which of the Fate series when that occurred.
Fate Zero.
@Otakudaikun, are you interested to talking about fate/ requeim, fate's _newest_ light novel series (first sell at 95 comiket)?.
Hey there! Thanks a lot for doing this! Composition and narration, beautiful! And you credited the artists too! :)
I wondered, who is the artist of the piece at 6:56? The one showing Gilgamesh and Enkidu, the one where Gil is resting and Enkidu pointing. I've been trying to find it everywhere in the urls you added and I failed :c
I actually gather my images from Zerochan, so if you search through their Enkidu images you should be able to find it.
Could you do the Lore of Edmond Dantes next?
Random question did enkidu fell into the underworld to get gil's fav instruments?
Merry Christmas OtakuDaiKun
Merry Christmas!
Yes more gilgamesh
Friend....
Like Patroclus and Achilles friendship...
with benefits galore lol
one question what if gilgamesh been summoned as a caster in fate zero and fate stay night in my really want to know what's going to happen in the story
3:53 What is Arthuria Pendragon doing in Babylonia and in the Age of Gods no less?
That's just a fanart if Gilga had his way.
better than history classs
Okey...what is this black math magic, 1 human + 1 god = 2/3 god. Also 1:18 okita has challenger for best thighs
what is that theme that starts playing when Enkidu dies?
Raven Vandom It's from the 2006 FSN anime ost.
To Gil, Enkidu has always been best gril. And yes i said girl on purpose
Darmok and Jallad at Tannagra
Finally Dai Kun made a lore for enkidu
My only hope I get him after just getting caster Gilgamesh
Enkidu best boy, also best girl
Enkidu the only man I find hot like seriously why enkidu so freaking attractive he looks like a girl but hes a guy 😅😥
Comet Gamer Correction, Enkidu is genderless, capable of looking like either.
@@otakudaikun no fucking wonder I'm guessing he was in his guy form when he was around gil because why would gil go after artoria when he had enkidu like what
Comet Gamer Except Gil didn't have Enkidu with him in any of those grail wars.
@@otakudaikun well that makes sense I'm guessing during the 5th one he finally hit puberty
Enkidu is genderless.
"They" can be a boy or gil lol.
I wonder if Merlin has a lore in Fate/Grand Order or not. Because it would be cool to have a Tale of Merlin here
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^^
Thanks for spoiling the new anime T T
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.
DDDOOOOO KKKKKIIINNNNGGGGGG HHHHHAASSSSAAAAANNNNNN
please or gorgon
It's so sad how he lost his only best friend
Strange/Fake video when?
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.
i love how you narrates fgo lore... Can I request you make some GENSHIN IMPACT LORE? HEHEHE
Utnapishman sounds like a Pokemon name
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
Is this lore from the Babylonia singularity or is this there a specific nasu work that explores Enkidu's lore?
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
no extraverse gil? sad...
Im wonder whare u read this manga can some tell me what app or web for read this manga
Could it be that he got the wrong herb ? And like don’t herb grow near other herbs ?
I only have 1 question: how do you end up with someone that's 1/3 mortal?? No matter how you mix it's supposed to be something divided by an even-number...Did he have 3 parents?
:Penny That’s a real mindfuck
His father is a demigod.
His mother a goddess
@@fluthlight7131
That makes him 2/3rd human.
I still don't know what name of this anime, if it is anime. Please, guys, help me. Say name this cartoon... Or anime... Or manga
Князь Шаурма You should really check out my video, "the lore of Fate/Stay Night".
so does gilgamesh revive after killing tiamat??
no.
i have a question.. why didnt Overworked king used EA to slae Tiamat in the first place?
sorry i just dunno it prolly made the job quicker i think
Nate•Niel23 I'm not sure. Maybe Gil had to die to come back in his Archer form.
Wise King Gilgamesh did not have access to Ea so he couldn't use it. That's why he summoned himself as Archer when he died.
Ahhh..
Well..Good thing the babylonia movie exists
Tho i prolly shouldn’t have Skipped sum parts
Where did you reador watch the story? I want to see the original stuff and i cant find it anywere. :'(
Gilgamesh was first introduced in the original Fate/Stay Night visual novel. He makes appearances in Fate/Zero and the animated versions of Stay Night. Enkidu was first introduced in Fate/Grand Order, specifically the Babylonia singularity you can watch in anime form.
@@otakudaikun thanks but, i already watch those, i mean, the story of Gilgamesh, Enkidu, etc, from when they were alive, ive seen random panels, but is there a manga? And where can i find it?
@@aguilaestre2542 No. For most of these servants, their backstories are only shown through occasional flashbacks and dialogue.
@@otakudaikun oh, ok, thank you for the explanation ;)
1:18 that's what I came for
Poor Gilgabunny, he lost his favorite toy. That poor clay fucker🤣🤣🤣
