Storytelling is a phenomenon sweeping across YouTube, but there's so much more to it than what we see on this platform. One example of amazing emotional storytelling is Gilgamesh in Fate/Zero, where his character has a drastically different role than he does in Stay Night or Grand Order.

    I’m always open to more Gilgamesh content, especially when talking about his personality and role in the franchise
  • @Monalisa-ep6jh
    If you think Gilgamesh was peak in Fate/Zero, then I highly recommend playing the Gilgamesh route of Fate/Extra CCC. CCC was basically the first Fate media where Gilgamesh was in a major non-antagonistic role and his character arc in the game was just beautiful.

    Gil is the king of " don't give a F%&k " he was soaked by the grail evil power " mud " and he saw all the world evils any servent who see it will turn to the dark side and become what's known as Alter, Gil on the other hand was like " yeah so what I don't care " and didn't change one bit
  • Gilgamesh found immortality through storytelling, becoming the first epic. Praise the King!

    Only 717 Subs, with this level of editing, descriptions and clear love for your videos? You deserve a lot more than this bro, I believe in you, keep it up.

    Wise of you to devote the first character video to Gilgamesh, for it would be foolish to put any other before the King. Silliness aside, I appreciate this video and the shout out to Aleczandxr! I went to slam that Subscribe button but then i realized I subbed to this channel on the last Gilgamesh video LOL. I look forward to seeing more of your work, whether it be F/Z or other stories!!
  • I think Gil just had one of the best lines in fiction "Why must pleasure and sin be connected?" This scene is easily one of top 10 because it is absolutely true, you can find pleasure by helping someone with their financial problems, or saving someone's life. Everyone perceives it differently, and Gil as a character understands that probably cuz he did some heinous shit himself.

    I don’t think Gilgamesh would appreciate being called the jester
  • @adam-dn3hi
    I highly reccomend playing fate/extra if you want to see more of gil while he doesnt appear in the first fate/extra game he appears in the side/sequel game fate/extra CCC as 1 of the main playble servants you can choose as your partner and the writing for him there is amazing
