If you want to know about history between Gilgamesh and Enkidu, then watch Fate Grand Order Babylonia
Enkidu is Gilgamesh's only friend (he mentioned in Zero that there was only one person who he would ever acknowledge as a "friend). So they're basically the world's first and oldest sidekick, and the two are roughly equal in power.
Also Enkidu is genderless so people usually use they/them pronouns.
In terms of surprises and animation first ep of Fate/strange Fake probably even slightly tops Oshi no Ko.
Funny u mention kong ming on wavers screentime, actually on fgo kong ming is using wavers body as a vessel
Gotta love that the Fate series set in America has it where people are getting gunned down
S-she just looks like Saber dude, it's not that deep😂
if you want to now the history between gil and enki watch or play fate grand order
They really just Teased us with this Masterpiece
So that guy at the end is someone you've seen before, specifically during the third Heavens Feel movie. He's the dude with the special sword that Rin uses
Gilgamesh and Enkidu the best ship ever from Fate series.
You should prolly watch Apocrypha to have some more context on the 'Ruler' that the loli girl mentioned
Then Grand Order for a bit more Gil and Enkidu context
The watch order is:
First Order, Camelot movies, Babylon, Solomon
There's also an anime called Case Files El Melloi, which is basically Waver's adventures and stuff as one of the heads of the Clock Tower and it takes place after Fate Zero. It would be better to watch this too because there will be some reoccurring characters from here that would appear in Strange Fake because it's usually the same people at the Clock Tower, Flat is one of them.
would highly recommend to anyone before the actual strange fake show starts to catch up
lord el melloi for waver's story
apocrypha for some of the other characters like diff jack and ruler class etc
then grand order storyline specifically babylonia for more gil and enkidu which might aswell go thru the whole FGO timeline lol
Not having seen Fate Babylonia Fresh says, "Who is Enkidu?" "Why do they both say Enuma Elish?" He is so lost! 😅 Gil mentions Enkidu from Fate/Zero as the only person who will have the title of being his only friend.
please let's make this video perform well lol, i want the fate reactions so bad
21:39 Joe will be Confused here that how they know each other because i Think he haven't watched the movie yet
Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front – Babylonia
Oh, you will really like Fate Grand Order then, because the game got all the historical figures you mentioned.
I guess you might not know about this but aside from Saber, Lancer, Archer, Caster, Rider, Assassin and Berserker, there are also Extra Classes such as Ruler, Avenger, Moon Cancer, Pretender, Alter Ego and there are so many others. But the main one is the 7 classes.
The girl at the end is the main protagonist of Fate/Prototype, the original first draft of Fate/Stay Night before they changed the plot to Emiya Shirou.
The old man in that rainbow thingy is Zelretch, the second Sorcerer. He has the ability to control parallel universe. He is the one that made the Gem Sword Tohsaka uses in HF. He is also one of the strongest people in the Nasu verse
As far as we know, there are three Zelretchs. Zelretch from the FSN universes. Zelretch from the Tsukihime universes(who became a vampire) and the Zelretch of FSF who is a hybrid of the two.
Enkidu is a Lancer class servant and was Gilgamesh's best friend who later died by Ishtar. Gilgamesh was originally sent to kill Gilgamesh. They were a life form made of clay created by Ishtar. Enkidu is the only person Gilgamesh considers a friend and is just as strong as Gilgamesh.
Dude, put all of “fate” on YouTube. I'd love to watch and put a like under each video. I love the “Fate” universe.
The story adapted in this special eps was released way before Grand order even get released let alone Babylonia. The main thing ppl really need to know is Enkidu was Gil one and only friend who should appear in zero to give gilgamesh more characterization than haha im op and an ass, but fkn ufotable cut that scene bcs they thought it would outshine excalibur moment.
Sure there is some stuff later that tied to FGO stuff but thats still way down the line anyway
In the post credit scene the person sitting on the chair is the same person who was in the heavens feel movie when illya and shiro went in the past to copy the gem sword
He is the same old man who was standing in front of the 3 family heads(tohsaka, makiri, and einzbern)
At the end there, the old man is Zelretch, the one that gave the blueprint of the Jewel Sword to the Tohsaka's family and Rin managed to finalized the final product at the Heavens Feel Movie.
He talked about the giant "spider", the "spider" is a major presence in Nasuverse, that's all you need to know. But if you're curious about it, search up ORT Nasuverse. Since there will be no amount of Fate anime that you ever watch will ever explain about Zelretch and the "spider".
Yes it's waver and he took the name of the blond dude from fate zero
Explanations and hope I did a good job on not giving any spoilers.
-"Fate/Grand Order – Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia" was where Enkidu first appeared in fate anime. They showed and slightly explained Enkidu and Gilgamesh backstory over there. You can check it out if you are curious but… the anime of Fate/Grand Order was not for everyone's tastes.
Some like it, some don't for various reason. Mostly because it was an adaptation of game and there was only few parts of the game story was adapted in anime. So there was a sense of incompleteness and confusion. That and some parts of the game story was said to be not adapted well in the anime.
For me, I like Fate/Grand Order Babylonia, mostly because it broadens the characterization of Gilgamesh over there instead of the arrogant tyrannical king we know in the main series. But compared to Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night… eh. Still, Fate/Grand Order Babylonia is ok as a … "side dish" I guess.
Well in any case, its not like it would affect your watching even if you haven't watch Fate/Grand Order Babylonia to enjoy this series. They're seperate stories and takes place in different timelines. Just sharing things if you were curious and want to know more about Enkidu.
-Potion of Youth that Gilgamesh have (The one that Gilgamesh was about to drink before hearing Enkidu and decided to give it to Tine): A Noble Phantasm that Gilgamesh have. I think it was based from the story when Gilgamesh was still alive, tried to find the herb of immortality to escape death. It turns him into a child if he drank the potion. And as a child wel… the part where Gilgamesh said that if his childhood self sees him now would likely kill himself says that much.
"Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya" shows his child self. No need to watch this too. Coooompleeetly seperate series and it happened in alternate timeline.
-The name El-Melloi sounds familiar was because in Fate/Zero, the teacher of Waver and the master of Lancer was named Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald.
-"The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II" shows how Waver Velvet ([Iskandar] Rider's Master from Fate/Zero) become Lord El-Melloi II. World building and how magecraft works was prevalent in the story. It started as Light Novel and was adapted to anime. Unfortunately, the anime skipped volume 1-3 and only adapted volume 4-5.
The anime was utter mess, it lacked things. People watched the anime expecting brilliant detective deductions based from the title (like Sherlock Holmes thing) but didn't get that because well… how can logic deduction work in a world where magic exists? In the story, Lord El-Melloi II focuses on "why" not "how" when doing his cases and the reasons why he did this and that was hard to present in anime format. In any case, the anime become just an advertisement to read Light Novel especially if you were more curious about how Fate world works. In grand scheme of things, I don't think its important for casual fans to read and watch. Just know that Waver will always become Lord El-Melloi II in any timeline.
– 8:17 That's the relic that Waver stole and used to summon Iskandar.
-Ruler: Ruler is another Servant-Class outside of the main seven class.
Most well-known Ruler was from "Fate/Apocrypha" anime which is another story in different timeline. I won't say who because it might regard as a spoiler. It explains there what Ruler Servants are and their role.
I haven't watched Fate/Apocrypha but from what I heard, it was a mess of an anime too. Part of it was because, it introduces a lot of characters and the story just crumbles because of it.
-Most of the people you want to see like Napoleon, Kong Ming etc… appeared in a game called Fate/Grand Order. As I said from the top, unfortunately, only few stories from the game were adapted into anime so you can't even see those characters in anime.
Funny enough, there was one character you mentioned that appeared in Fate/Apocrypha.
The only things you missed from what you've already seen is:
– Uruk is the city Gilgamesh ruled as a king
– Enkidu is name-dropped in Zero, Gilgamesh explains that they are his only friend. It's explained in more detail in Fate Grand Order Babylonia.
– The name El Melloi remind you of something because it's the name of the master of Lancer in Zero (the blond dude), watch The case file of Lord EL Melloi if you want to know why Waver took his name.
– The guy on the chair in the post generic scene is Zelretch, he appears in the flashback in the third Heaven's Feel movie. He is one of the top dog of the mage association and most importantly a magician, so a guy who actually managed to reach the root. In his case, he gained the ability to control parallel worlds which he can use to do a ton of stuff, like observing other world (what he is doing here) or steal mana from other worlds (what Rin does against Sakura by using a copy of his sword in Heaven feel).
Other than that, the Ruler the loli speaks about is something from Apocrypha.
If you want to watch more Fate there's still :
– Fate Apocrypha who is pretty good, with tone of cool servants (including some of the ones you said you wanted to see at the start of that video).
– Grand Order, which is also cool and give more context to many heroes' backstory.
– Fate Prototype and Fate Grand Order memorial movies, if you want a quick reaction those are really short, mostly eyes candy, but it can be cool if you want something short to fill a schedule.
– Fate Stay Night by Deen, it's not terrible and some people like it, but IMO it's not really worth it.
– Fate Prisma Ilya, a spin off focused on Ilya being a magical girl. The later seasons have some great moments and the movie is dope, but it's also really weird at times (not the good kind of weird) and also pretty long.
There's also some great series in the same universe :
– The case file of Lord Ell Melloi II, a series following Waver working as detective (kinda similar to Undead Murder Farce) which is pretty different from the rest but good.
– Kara no Kyoukai a series of movies made by UFOTABLE before they started working on Fate. Those are also quite different from the rest since there are no heroes from the past involved, so they're closer to more classic urban fantasy, but some of the character from there do appear in Zero and Heaven Feel. IMO, those moves are fantastic and the most worth a watch out of everything you've yet to see.
– Carnival phantasm and Today's Menu for the Emiya Family which are great comedy and slice of life shows, not sure if they would work for reactions tho.
Finally, they're 2 other series, but they are terrible so definitely not worth a watch:
– Fate Extra, the visuals are really cool (it's by Shaft the studio that did Monogatari) but it's completely incomprehensible without playing the game.
– Tsukihime, a series in the same universe as Fate. The visual novel is great (and coming out in English beginning of 2024) but the anime adaptation is so bad the fandom prefer to pretend it doesn't exist.
fun fact every servant you listed is either in a different series or fgo
Watch the full Grand Order and Absolute Demonic Front Babylonia
Crazy how pretty much every servant you wanted to see here are actually in the fate franchise (Napoleon, Robin hood, Vlad the impaler etc). Also, you mentioning Kong Ming right after that scene was such a funny coincidence (if you know you know)
