“ To unite dreams beneath a banner of conquest. I praise your efforts. But, warriors... did you not understand? That all dreams must disappear when the dreamer wakes. Every last one of them. Therefore, it was inevitable that I would stand in your way. King of Conquerors, know the end of your eternal dream. I, myself, shall show you harsh reality. „
~ Gilgamesh to Iskandar

Summary

Gilgamesh (ギルガメッシュ Girugamesshu?) is the Archer-class Servant of Tokiomi Tohsaka during the Fourth Holy Grail War. After Tokiomi's death, he reforged a new pact with Kirei Kotomine that lasted until the Fifth Holy Grail War. He is the King of Heroes, the hero of the oldest epic poem in human history. He was a demigod, born from the union of King Lugalbanda and the goddess Rimat-Ninsun. The King of Heroes governed and protected Uruk from anything, eventually turning against the gods.

While in his youth, Gilgamesh was a good-hearted youngster. Nonetheless, he grew up to be a ruthless tyrant. Though Uruk's people suffered, the city prospered. Disgusted by Gilgamesh's misbehavior, the gods created Enkidu to regain control over him. For the first time in his life, Gilgamesh faced an equal. He fought Enkidu for days, even emptying his vault. After the battle ended, the two became close friends. They worked and adventured for years, battling monsters and protecting Uruk together. Later, the goddess Ishtar fell in love with him, but he rejected her. As a result, the Bull of Heaven was unleashed on Uruk.

After the seven years of devastation, Gilgamesh and Enkidu bound the beast with the Chains of Heaven and defeated it. Enraged and humiliated, Ishtar pleaded for their deaths, but only Enkidu was punished, reduced to nothing but mud. A distraught Gilgamesh cursed the gods, swearing that he would never call another his friend. Seeing his only equal perish, Gilgamesh became obsessed with his own mortality and set out on a journey to become immortal. He searched out the sage Ziusudra, an immortal who lived even before the Great Flood that had wiped out most of humankind. After decades of research, he found Ziusudra's longevity stems from being half-plant. Still, the sage told Gilgamesh about another method, a herb that would make him immortal without relying on the gods or giving up his humanity.

Gilgamesh ultimately discovered the miracle herb and, for the first time in his life, felt genuine contentment by the grand achievement. However, a snake ate the herb he had left aside carelessly during his bath. The King of Heroes laughed hysterically as he realized his journey had been for nothing. He eventually returned to Uruk, having come to terms with his mortality and limited lifespan. There, he ruled Uruk as a wise king until he finally passed.

Fought against True Archer and casually deflected his arrows) | Massively FTL+ (Flew 1500 light-years in a short period and positioned himself between his Master and Kiara while flying at such speeds), with Immeasurable reactions and combat speed (Far stronger than BB and can keep up with Kiara Sessyoin)

Standard Equipment: His armor, and everything within the Gate of Babylon.

Intelligence: Created to be the pinnacle of all humans, Gilgamesh is a brilliant individual, clearly seeing through deceptions and discerning any forms of magecraft with a glance. He could predict the number of weapons Shirou would project at once and counter him with an equal amount of armaments from his treasury. He immediately saw through Caster's faked death and backed away from Saber after she formed a contract with Rin. Sha Naqba Imuru also allows him to see all possible outcomes, allowing him to make the correct move and discern his opponents' true identities and Noble Phantasms. However, these advantages are held back by his incredible arrogance, as he refuses to go all out against most opponents due to believing himself to be far above them, actively restraining the use of Sha Naqba Imuru, and only releasing more than a few Noble Phantasms at a time when he's feeling playful or irritated. Due to his position as a king rather than a warrior, he has only mastered a handful of the Noble Phantasms stored in his treasury, preventing him from unleashing their powers most of the time.

Weaknesses: Gilgamesh is insufferably arrogant and will thus almost always hold back unless he sees his opponent as entertaining or worthy of his power. He barely knows how to wield most of the weapons in the Gate of Babylon. After being "blackened" by the Grail's mud, he physically incarnated and lost the ability to enter spirit form. His arrogance makes him unlikely to use Ea unless facing a worthy opponent. | None notable.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Noble Phantasms

Gate of Babylon: The King's Treasure: (王の財宝ゲート・オブ・バビロン Gēto obu Babiron?): Gilgamesh's grand treasury. It is a storehouse that contains the countless treasures of the world collected by Gilgamesh. Using Key of the King's Law, Bab-ilu, he can open an invisible door to its contents to summon them whenever he pleases. It contains the prototypes of all Noble Phantasms, which are fired from his vault as projectiles. He can also gather them directly into his hand for when he wants to fight up close. Due to the sheer number of Noble Phantasms he possesses, one can't try and take them head-on as they possess various unknown abilities to properly counter virtually any Servant recorded in the Throne of Heroes. The rate and power of the Noble Phantasms he releases depend on his situation, how Gilgamesh will use them, and who he faces.

Additionally, he can have them summoned right next to his opponent or from all directions to either attack them in surprise or to overwhelm them. The way he uses this Noble Phantasm, having adopted this manner from his fight with Enkidu in life, makes him summoned into the Archer class. It has an incredibly efficient mana cost, needed only to open the gates. He can prepare and produce hundreds or even a thousand Noble Phantasm at once if he wishes and can return them to the vault whenever he pleases, even mid-flight.

The Gate of Babylon contains all treasures in the world, including the "wisdom of humanity" or, in other words, the basis for all things constructed by humans throughout history, from the works of the Library of Alexandria to board games, to even airplanes and submarines. The only technology he lacks are things created by humans with entirely new concepts and the technology of extraterrestrial races. Along with "humanity's wisdom," he possesses the Prototypes of all Noble Phantasms, as all heroes' myths and legends are derived from his, owing to his status as the original hero. He can overwhelm any Servant by targeting their weaknesses with the Noble Phantasms. While he does not possess Noble Phantasms that were made before or after his time, such as some Divine Constructs, or Noble Phantasms that are formed from a Heroic Spirit's life and legend like God Hand, he would possess something that could be considered their prototypes, even if it was a paradox.

Notable items within the Gate of Babylon include:
  • Anti-Spirit Incense: An ash-like powder that attracts walking corpses like those summoned by Angra Mainyu.
  • Auto-Defensors: A series of golden discs that float around Gilgamesh. The defensors can defend an area as large as a single-floor building. They defend Gilgamesh from virtually any projectile by shooting them down with innumerable lightning bolts as they approach. It provides sufficient protection against even a storm of surprise attacks from Enkidu. However, a sufficiently fast projectile, such as True Archer's arrows, would be able to bypass them altogether.
  • Command Spells: In Fate/Extra CCC, Gilgamesh has collected several Command Spells that would generally be used to bind Servants like himself and can provide them to a new Master if he wishes to establish a contract with them.
  • Curtain of Night: A magical item mentioned in passing as a means of counteracting Gawain's Numeral of the Saint, possibly by blotting out the sun.
  • Dáinsleif (ダインスレフ Dainsurefu?): A demonic sword from the Nibelungen. It is a cursed Noble Phantasm that contains a powerful curse of "reparation" to be used on its target. It also drives the fate of its possessor to ruin and causes them to die inevitably. Within the Skáldskaparmál, it is possessed by the Danish king, Hogni. He became trapped in eternal combat with Serkland's king, Hedinn, due to the sword's curse, which requires it always to kill a man once drawn and prevents it from returning to its sheath until this is accomplished.
  • Durandal: The Peerless Sword (絶世の名剣デュランダル Durandaru?): Originally the sword of Hector, he converted it into the spear Durindana. After it later lost its features as a spear, it became Durandal. It was later said to have been granted to King Charlemagne of the Frankish Empire by an angel and awarded to Roland. It is noted as the Battle of Roncevaux Pass symbol told of in the Song of Roland. Although Roland attempted to break the sword when he was on the verge of death to keep it from falling into the enemy's hands, it proved impossible. Still, it was later prominently featured in Charlemagne's legends, acting as a symbol of Roland's bravery. The sword is a splendidly forged "symbol of power," much like King Arthur's Caliburn, and it is said to hold three miracles within it. It retains its sharpness even when the magical energy of its user is depleted, proving indestructible even when Roland attempted to destroy it.
  • Gáe Bolg (ゲイ・ボルク Gei Boruku?): The spear of Cú Chulainn, a massive two-meter long weapon with the ability to consistently strike the opponent's heart. Gilgamesh, however, lacks the knowledge necessary to activate this ability; nonetheless, he can fire it as a powerful projectile that inflicts wounds that cannot be healed naturally.
  • Golden Axe: One of the few weapons Gilgamesh prefers to utilize personally. It's a mighty axe that seems to be able to cleave targets along with the space around them with a spinning chop.
  • Golden Drill: A weapon Gilgamesh uses in the Moon Cell, and one of the few that Gilgamesh prefers to wield personally. It's used to drill and tear into targets while firing at them with its machine gun and cannon functions.
  • Golden Lance: A weapon that Gilgamesh prefers to use personally, to skewer targets in close quarters combat.
  • Golden Swords: A pair of swords that resemble the weapon Enki which his Prototype self wields. They are one of the few armaments that Gilgamesh prefers to use personally in close quarters combat.
  • Gram (破滅の黎明グラム Guramu?): The "Sword of the Sun" wielded by Sigurd in the Völsunga saga of Norse mythology. It is said to be the "strongest demonic sword" that equals the "strongest holy sword," so it possesses the unique characteristic of "dragon slayer." The version Gilgamesh owns seems to be before it was reforged.
  • Houtengeki: A halberd passed down in Chinese culture and the only type of halberd out of many to attain the rank of Noble Phantasm, probably due to the use of Houtengageki by a famous military commander. It is a polearm with many different purposes, such as thrusting, swiping, pulling, parrying, etc. Chinese halberds with a spearhead at the tip of the shaft and a blade attached to the side. The distinguishing characteristic of a Houtengeki is a unique crescent-moon-shaped side blade, the “Moon Fang.” Weapons with only one of these blades are called Seiryugeki. It is said that great skill is needed to handle this weapon. However, once mastered, its versatility and ease of use allowed it to serve the appropriate role for any combatant.
  • Immortal Slaying Scythe, Harpe: The Snake Hunter's Scythe, a divine sword from Greek mythology used by Perseus to kill the Gorgon Medusa and one of the many weapons inside Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon. It is described as a monster-killing holy sword with a distinctive shape similar to a scythe, having the cutting edge on the inside of the blade. However, it isn't a great weapon by itself. Its real strength is its trait of Refraction of Longevity. This divine ability nullifies immortalities and inflicts wounds that cannot be restored by any methods other than natural healing.
  • Merodach: The Original Sin (原罪メロダック Merodakku?): A mighty sword Gilgamesh uses to determine if his opponent is worthy of facing Ea. It is the prototype of "the swords of selection across the globe," making it the prototype of both Gram and Caliburn. Due to being a Caliburn's prototype, its strength as a Noble Phantasm is exceptional, allowing it to shatter Caliburn in a single clash without resistance. Despite the difference in appearance, its "true nature" and "soul" are nearly identical to its successors; as such, it utilizes the same power, a "light that can burn away everything it touches," that could kill Berserker in one slash.
  • Mountain-Piercing Spears: A series of unnamed spears that can easily pierce mountains.
  • Potion of Youth: A Noble Phantasm that rejuvenates the users, contained within a small translucent bottle. It is the herb of immortality that Gilgamesh sought and found after the death of his closest friend, Enkidu. While he lost it and came to terms with his mortality, he still tried and found it again to have it in his treasury. When he drinks it, he returns to his child self, altering his personality and appearance. He only uses it to blend into the world. He tolerates modern society, such as within the ten-year gap between the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars, or when he sees something as a childish game that isn't worthy of his full strength. He can forcibly reverse the effects whenever he pleases to return to his older self.
  • Rho Aias: The Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens (熾天覆う七つの円環ロー・アイアス Rō Aiasu?): The shield used by Aias the Great to stop Durindana, the spear of the Trojan hero Hector, tearing through six of its seven layers of cowhide but stopping at the final layer. As a result, it has been sublimed as a virtually absolute Conceptual Defense against thrown and launched weaponry.
  • Ship of Light: A vehicle that enables Gilgamesh to travel faster than the speed of light. It allows him to instantly return after being sent to the edge of the Moon Cell's Imaginary Space hundreds of light-years away.
  • The Great Cup of Uruk: A powerful artifact equal to the Holy Grail in worth. It contains a vast amount of magical energy that allows it to function as a flawed wish-granting device that the Three Goddess Alliance could use to reshape the world of Mesopotamia in their image.
  • Vajra (金剛杵ヴァジュラ Vajura?): A weapon appearing in the Vedic mythology of ancient India. It was a weapon crafted by Tvastar, the maker of divine instruments, using the sage's bones, Dadhichi. It became a symbol of the divinity of Indra, the god of lightning, and the indestructible diamond pounder weapon carried by the gods of Buddhism. It was held in one interpretation to manifest Indra’s lightning, supported by its deceptions as a golden projectile and its appearance unbefitting of a conventional weapon. Vajra was initially known by its proper name of Vjaya when Indra was first introduced to India as a phenomenon that spread from the Aryans. Along with Indra, whose name changed to Taishakuten, his divine symbol changed its name and became known as Vajra after the age of Buddhism as India's main religion began. It is a simple weapon that can only be shot once for fixed B+ rank damage separate from the user's magical energy supply.
  • Unnamed Anti-Magic Sickle: An enormous sickle that drains magical energy and can cut through magical implements such as Saber's armor or Berserker's Knight of Owner.
  • Ig-Alima: Green Field Cutting Through the Thousand Mountains (千山斬り拓く翠の地平イガリマ Igarima?): A massive blade, also known as the Mountain-Felling Sword, it is a Divine Construct that can easily tear apart entire forests only from the force of being swung. Gilgamesh, however, cannot technically wield the sword due to its enormous size, instead using it as a projectile from the Gate of Babylon to crush opponents under its weight. This Noble Phantasm was seen when Angelica used Gate of Babylon via a class card.
  • Sul-sagana: The Horizon of Dawn that Purifies the Seas (万海灼き祓う暁の水平シュルシャガナ Shurushagana?) A long, jagged blade comparable in size to Ig-Alima. It is named after a Sumerian deity and which is also a Divine Construct. When using its ability, it summons a coat of fire around it, where it is then swung in a wide arc that spreads its flame across the field. This was another one of the Noble Phantasm's used by a wielder of the Gilgamesh class card.
  • Arrow Protection Amulet: A D-Rank Noble Phantasm modeled after a solar eclipse. It increases the user's evasion rate and automatically nullifies projectiles at D-Rank or below. However, it will gradually break after each use. As a last resort, he can also throw it at an enemy by using it in a matter akin to a stun grenade, blinding them with incredible light and heat.
  • Myoujingiri Muramasa (明みょう神切村正じんぎりむらまさ?): It allows the wielder to cut "karma", and can sever causality, or "certainty." The sword also lets the user interact and cut the Heroic Spirit Swordmaster's Spirit Cores in the ether. Normally, Spirit Cores are tied to a Servant's heart or brain, but they only exist ethereally for Heroic Spirit Swordmasters. In other words, its users can cut their target's soul.
  • Tsumugari Muramasa (都牟つむ刈村正がりむらまさ?): A Noble Phantasm forged by Muramasa himself. The perfect sword that has transcended the mortal limits and reached the realm of the gods, it was created by merging countless swords into one. As Muramasa's ideal sword, it can cut through anything. Bonds, causality, fate/destiny, and the very idea of Karma are not safe from this sword. It was used to permanently kill Amakusa Shirou and cut down his reality marble, despite the former's status as a mobile singularity.
  • Móralltach: Surging Seas of Fury (憤怒の波濤モラ・ルタ Mora Ruta?): The most powerful weapon in Diarmuid's possession, gifted to him by the Celtic God of the Sea and the Underworld, Manannan. By releasing its True Name, he leaps into the sky at speeds beyond human comprehension to perform an attack from above. Móralltach then becomes three blades to tear the enemy to pieces, bringing certain death to his enemies and certain victory to himself.
  • Seventh Holy Scripture: One of the Church’s greatest weapons, a thousand-year-old Conceptual Weapon designed specifically to counter transmigration. It uses the horn of a unicorn, a beast said to consume souls, as a key and is infused with the soul of a deceased girl. It’s old enough to have its own elemental, a young girl named Nanako, who Ciel can manifest through her power. Previously only effective against spiritual entities, Ciel modified it to become a physical weapon, a pile bunker, and a scriptural cannon. When used, it destroys the soul of the target, dispersing it into nothingness. It negates the regeneration of vampires as well.
  • Unnamed Dimensional Refraction Artifact: An artifact that defends against attacks that use the Multi-Dimensional Refraction Phenomenon, allowing Gilgamesh to block attacks that come from parallel universes such as Sasaki Kojirou's Tsubame Gaeshi.
  • Unnamed Dragon-Slaying Longsword: Gilgamesh also possesses a longsword that slew an oriental dragon in the past.
  • Unnamed Freezing Sword: Gilgamesh possesses a sword that would freeze any target struck as well as the area around them, covering the victim in ice even if they managed to dodge the initial strike for as long as they're within relative proximity of the blade.
  • Unnamed Invisibility Ring: A ring that wards off the attention of ordinary people, preventing them from noticing him. It doesn't work on magi or other magical beings.
  • Unnamed Invisible Sword: A sword described as "invisible like Saber's" that Gilgamesh fires as a projectile.
  • Hades' Cap of Invisibility: An E-Rank Noble Phantasm originally possessed by the Greek god Hades, and the prototype of all Noble Phantasms that "conceal oneself." Usually kept in the form of a sash, anything that the cloth covers cannot be observed through physical or magical means, blocking out any emanations of magical energy and blocking all forms of magical detection. However, it does not obscure the user's sound, smell, body temperature, or tracks, making its use somewhat situational.
  • Unnamed Lens: A golden ring with a single, warped lens that allowed Gilgamesh to view True Archer from twenty kilometers away.
  • Unnamed Levitation Treasure: An unnamed treasure that allows Gilgamesh to levitate in mid-air.
  • Unnamed Lightning Noble Phantasm: Gilgamesh can launch "lightning without form" as a projectile without using his Vajra Noble Phantasm.
  • Unnamed Magical Staves: Various magical rods and staves that can use magecraft from the Age of Gods. Those seen have generated pillars of flame, concentrated lightning storms, and light beams that home in on their targets.
  • Unnamed Mirror Shield: A shield that effortlessly repels powerful magecraft.
  • Unnamed Spellbook: An unnamed tome that allows Gilgamesh to utilize powerful Primeval Runes from the Age of Gods.
  • Unnamed Spiral Sword: Gilgamesh possesses a spiral sword that looks similar to Caladbolg, the spiral sword wielded by Fergus mac Róich.
  • Unnamed Triple-Edged Sword: A sword with three edges. It can arc behind an opponent to attack their back if left unguarded.
  • Various Unnamed Homing Weapons: Gilgamesh possesses multiple weapons, such as scythes, scimitars, and axes that can always follow their chosen target even if they dodge in a vehicle as maneuverable as a modern fighter jet empowered by Lancelot's Knight of Owner.
  • Various Unnamed Shields: Gilgamesh possesses multiple shields, that he normally deploys to halt attacks, including those that can overpower barrages from the Gate of Babylon.
  • Vimana: Throne of the Heaven-soaring King (天翔る王の御座ヴィマーナ Vimāna?): A flying contraption passed from Babylon and India that appeared within the Ramayana and Mahabharata, and one of the many Noble Phantasms within the Gate of Babylon. It surpasses any jet from the modern era, fueled by crystals burning mercury as fuel. Even when Gilgamesh was fooling around, he easily outpaced Lancelot in a fighter jet elevated to a Noble Phantasm by Knight of Owner. He uses the Gate of Babylon freely while piloting Vimana. It has many functions, including ancient machine guns, nuclear warheads, stealth functions, communication interception technology, laser cannons, and biological weapons.


  • Enkidu: Chains of Heaven (天の鎖エルキドゥ Erukidu?): Gilgamesh's most trusted Noble Phantasm, even more so than Ea. It is a set of chains named after his closest friend and made to bind even the gods themselves. It is one of the few Anti-Divine Noble Phantasms, growing stronger when used against those with divine blood, such as Heracles, becoming more effective the higher their rank of Divinity. They are said to bind even space itself. Those caught in it cannot escape even via a Command Seal, though Berserker, in his last moments of desperation, can shatter the chains and escape. Against a non-divine Servant like Saber, Archer, and Assassin, it is nothing but a strong chain. Gilgamesh can summon Enkidu from anywhere with the Gate of Babylon, even using its bladed end as a weapon or draw enemies closer. When using it with Ea, he will draw it out fully.
“

I shall offer this one strike as the ceremony of separation!
I speak of the beginning.
Heaven and Earth are divided and nothingness celebrates Creation.
My Sword of Rupture rends the world apart.
The vortex that turns the stars, this heavenly hell signifies the end of the eve of Genesis. Subside with death!
Enuma Elish!

„
~ Gilgamesh to Beast II while using Ea
  • Sword of Rupture, Ea (乖かい離り剣けん・エア Kairi-ken, Ea?): Also known as the "Sword that ripped apart the world," it is the ultimate and final Noble Phantasm contained within the Gate of Babylon and Gilgamesh's most powerful weapon. A Divine Construct and the manifestation of the power which stabilized the planet, utilized by Gods to enact Creation. The sword is crowned with the god Ea's name, who is believed to be the deification of the same power, which stabilized the planet by moving, crushing, and turning its surface. While classified as a "sword," it's more accurately described as staff due to bearing a cylindrical "blade" with a blunt tip and independently rotating segments with three lithographs. Each represents heaven, earth, and the underworld while together representing the universe. Unlike the countless other Noble Phantasms in his treasury, it is a sword that only he has and can wield as one who inherited the gods' essence. Gilgamesh is reluctant to use Ea against "lowlifes," only drawing it to face worthy opponents like Alexander the Great and King Arthur.
  • Enuma Elish: The Star of Creation That Split Heaven and Earth (天地乖離す開闢の星エヌマ・エリシュ Enuma Erishu?): Ea's function as a Noble Phantasm, a space cutting attack that shows the "Truth," was initially used as a powerful Nation-Building Authority that separated Heaven and Earth. It's Ea's maximum output as an EX-ranked Anti-World Noble Phantasm, making it well-suited for destroying Reality Marbles, as Gilgamesh describes it. It releases a vortex of energy while twisting, compressing, and intertwining air until the pressure exceeds the laws of physics, causing a space-time dislocation. Once fired, the energy vortex and space-time dislocation deal catastrophic damage that can't be reduced without an attack of equal might or Anti-Purge defense. Additionally, the strike cuts space itself, allowing it to rend the world to show the "Truth", the planet's primordial form where no life can exist. While powerful on its own, Enuma Elish can be boosted by support from the Noble Phantasms in the Gate of Babylon, further increasing the damage it deals. However, Gilgamesh rarely uses its full power in most instances; even a casual Enuma Elish effortlessly overpowered Excalibur.
  • Sha Naqba Imuru (He who Saw the Deep): The Omniscient Omnipotent Star (全知なるや全能の星シャ・ナクパ・イルム Sha Nakupa Irumu?): Gilgamesh's strong willpower sublimated as a Noble Phantasm. An always active skill that grants him high-level Clairvoyance, allowing him to discern great truths with a glance. This ability enables him to identify Servants and their Noble Phantasms, as well as constantly see the best course of action. Also, if he so chooses, he can even look at the possibilities of various parallel worlds. The power of this Noble Phantasm is so potent that it's said that he discerned a piece of the truth regarding the demise of human history. However, despite its power, Gilgamesh lacks the processing speed to browse through all the parallel worlds, unlike beings such as Suzuka Gozen. His arrogance also leads him to reject certain world lines as impossible, including one he was consumed by the mud of the Grail.

Class Skills

Independent Action: The ability to remain independent and exist in the world without the magical energy supplied by a Master, allowing the Servant to act autonomously and the Master to save their magic power for spells. Under normal circumstances, Gilgamesh's A-rank enables him to operate without a Master except for using grand Noble Phantasms. He can remain in the world for a week without a Master. After the mud of the Grail incarnated him, it was upgraded to A+, allowing him to use more of his high-cost abilities, including his strongest Noble Phantasms, without the need for a Master. Through this, he remained materialized even after the Fourth Holy Grail War ended. In the Moon Cell, it is of a superior rank of EX, shown by his ability to operate independently without the support of a master on the Far Side of the Moon, a place considered unsafe for normal lifeforms to visit.

Magic Resistance: An ability that grants protection against magical effects. Unlike the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Gilgamesh's proficiency in this skill ranges from E to C-Rank, depending on who summoned him. E-Rank merely reduces the damage he takes from magical attacks. C-Rank nullifies spells below two verses but cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals. Furthermore, it is enhanced by his armor, raising it above even King Arthur's A-rank magic resistance, which can nullify magecraft from the Age of Gods. He has many other possessions that would also allow him to negate sorcery. This ability also provides resistance against indirect magical attacks such as Petrification, Hypnosis, and Spatial Manipulation.

Personal Skills

  • Charisma: The natural talent to command an army, which increases the ability of allies during group battles. In Gilgamesh's case, it is no longer fame but rather a kind of curse due to his A+ Rank proficiency, causing normal humans to prostrate themselves at his feet in his mere presence. It can also be used as a form of subtle Mind Manipulation, getting people to do what he wants without much resistance.
  • Collector: A "talent" in collecting high-quality goods, a sort of supernatural luck that draws rare items into Gilgamesh's hands. Gilgamesh has collected all the Earth's treasures, grasping the essence of human ingenuity.
  • Divinity (神性しんせい Shinsei?): The measure of one's Divine Spirit aptitude, reflected in high ranks by the user becoming part Divine Spirit. At A-rank, it is an indicator of one who has reached godhood. Additionally, it possesses another effect that allows one to reduce "Anti-Purge defense" in proportion to the rank of their Divinity, allowing them to break through defensive abilities such as Protection of the Faith and Saver's Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig. Gilgamesh would typically have an A+ Rank in this skill due to being two-thirds divine. Still, his valid rank has dropped to B due to his distaste for the gods for killing his only friend, Enkidu.
  • Golden Rule: A skill that measures one ability and fortune to obtain wealth.
