#so yeah Gilgamesh's weaknesses is his own arrogance and stupidity

[gilgil-machine]

I hate when people say that Gilgamesh is pathetic or weak or that he's nothing without his Gate of Babylon. And I'm not saying that he's the strongest servant in the series like there's a bunch of people that can beat him but he's definitely not weak. And it's the same thing I could've said that Saber is weak and pathetic without her Excalibur or something like that.

Because Gilgamesh's main problem that gets his ass beaten is that he's arrogant and doesn't take his opponent seriously. That's the thing that fucked him over so many times and not because he's weak or whatever.

Babylonia Section 19~Section 20

I thought it wasn’t bad with the first just visual story... Second half I need more cleansing of my sanity from that shit fight in the previous chapter. Good god, what the fuck is wrong with you DW?!

Section 19

Without waiting for a break after returning, a meeting immediately started in getting ideas to defeat Tiamat. 306 citizens including 212 soldiers left in Uruk... 157 survivors in Northen wall with 38 soldiers included.

Details about Lahmu followed on despite the number of citizens left... Looks like he accepted the end of his era for Gilgamesh... Tiamat’s details finally analyzed after that chaotic battle.... Hey now, it’s a Beast class you remember? At least safe to say no weakness is found yet!

2 days in total before she arrives Uruk by Jaguar Warrior’s instinct... And well, she thinks all life are equal regardless so henceforth the annihilation of humanity.

Seems like all Beasts are immortal so death never going to reach to their existence once... Definitely not going by if all humans die she will die method to kill her if humans are here to prove her existence!

So what about the opposite? as Gilgamesh and the Gudas mentioned. Oh hey, long time no see Eresh! Our King wished to borrow your underworld to kill Tiamat if you don’t mind! Ah, we don’t mind if you need time to shift Underworld right below Uruk too!

Off topic, Gilgamesh has a point for you too, Ishtar. Anyway, looks like hopefully less than 3 days underworld will be right under Uruk to defeat Tiamat. I see, so that’s why you needed Ishtar, Gilgamesh!

Gugalanna, we need your pet to help destroy Tiamat-- Ishtar... You don’t have Gugalanna with yoooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuu?!!! AND YOU LOST HIM?!?!!?!?!!? ISHTAR.... YOU USELESS NO-GOOD GODDESS!!!

Punishment for Ishtar aside for her deeds, the meeting end since no other ideas can be used to hold off Tiamat for 1 day. We’re given one more day to rest before the final battle thanks to King Gilgamesh.

At night in Chaldea Embassy, everyone drops by for both a break and bonding... Seems like Quetz knew about Tiamat all this while, or all the while she knew about Gorgon’s relation to Tiamat... She cares for Gorgon despite what happened...

And yeah, some stockholm syndrome between Jaguar Warrior and Quetz... As expected of Quetz being the good goddess, it’s like her to stop Eresh and Gorgon... :)

Outside, Ishtar and Mash talking together... We’re too used to goodbyes and meeting after 6 Singularities. Well that Gilgamesh’s “nice”, is as questionable as his AUO’s “nice”. But hey, if he’s too nice, he’s not the stupid arrogant asshole AUO that we all know and enjoyed.

Flashback previously with Leonidas and Mash... Usually this, there’s questions wondering people like Jeanne who refused to kill human life... And others that do in a war.... There’s also more details in Leonidas’s point of view on his past too 

Lastly one last detail about Chaldea, an observatory it’s called. More information about Chaldea does... Hope this isn’t foreshadowing in relations to Part 2 now.,, And poor Guda or specificially Gudako... A harem set between both sisters...

Ah seems like the Gudas and Mash decided to visit the King one last time.... Maybe a bad time since he’s busy? Okay, looks like he’s free to talk... Um thanks for giving something for us to brag about when we get back?

Hey, we feel bad we cause of that you know? The fact people died in Uruk and everything... Huh? We change the future from your vision? And even when you knew that Uruk will end, you still fight on, Gilgamesh....

Guda’s compassion to Uruk and the Goddess helped changed the fate itself... Yeah, we were told all damage will be erased once we finished the mission in the Singularity?

So lives will not be restored and what happened can never be undone? Oh right.. As Fate/Zero Accel... We can’t entirely change the past... It feels like Waver trying to save Kayneth is going to be for naught... He’ll still die along with his wife some way or another...

Life lessons from Caster Gil is really meaningful and deep... Yeah, you fucking lovable idiot, of course you’d destroy your country for an immortal herb. Yes, Siduri deserve to give you that scolding for the irresponsibility! Same old Gilgamesh with the same old quotes in Fate/Zero!

After we depart... Kingu... At the Celestial Hill, the memories of Enkidu first meets Gilgamesh.... Despite him cursing himself for being used and thrown... Gilgamesh?!

Oh come on, you don’t stumble to find your long-lost friend again! While bickering a little... The grail? He’s giving it to Kingu! Kingu will be fine after all! Even knowing that’s Kingu with Enkidu’s stolen dead body... He cares for him too as another new found friend other than Enkidu.,.. The pain in losing your friend and to avoid that.... Kingu... Please make the right choice this time

Section 20

The final day here at last! Woah, the data for Tiamat is compiled! Seems like there’s a few weak spots in terms of physical body to deal damage at! So, we’re going to start with removing the black mud first! Or known as now, Chaos Tide!

Damn it and she’s awake and moving faster than we thought! Thank god we didn’t choose to destroy the Sun stone or there’s no other Noble Phantasm to beat her!

That shouldn’t be a problem if you can piggy back us all the way while we supply you mana to deal with her legs!

One hasty sprint right outside of Uruk later, King Gigamesh standing in glory at the top of ZIggurat to announce to his citizens while he’s overjoyed at those that survived... He’s getting the citizens riled up on dealing with Tiamat as their final battle

Anyway, accepting this point of no return... Onwards towards Tiamat!! Which finally arriving on the Chaos tide... Time for a most disgusting fight with the Chaos tide!

First wave done, but definitely not giving up with many of the Lahmus and Bel Lahmu coming at us! Yup, the closer we are the higher the damage will be from the Chaos Tide!

Huh? Looks like we’re about to get killed by the Lahmu and... Backup has come from Girsu! While Jaguar Warrior tries to protect them... We’re facing again with 1 demonic beasts and 3 Lahmus at our asses!

Fucking damn it! She’s still speeding up even after we cleared the Demonic Beasts! And oh... Because of her walking that creates shockwaves... There’s a fucking russian roulette at the start!

...... My initial setup is the same after shuffle... Thank fucking god for that! I could have sworn after picking up the stuff I dropped from my table... I swear to god that it felt like it never shuffled at all!

Right below Tiamat’s leg... What the?! Ushikawamaru!! And no thanks, serving AUO later if we do summon him is enough to do for serving!

With russian roulette round 2 back here and 1.2k damage from Chaos Tide... DW really knows how to bring hell here.

Also... Bring AOE Servant and not ST Servant... Or you’re going to have a long time clearing those Ushikawamaru. Had to retry because it’s completely screw up... One of the worst fight for this entire Singularity OTL

Endless of copies doesn’t kill Ushikawamaru yet... She curses at the humans which at this point it’s useless now to convince her out of this... This voice? Benkei! But he’s completely injured and how?! Lastly... In a suicidal move, both Ushikawamaru and Benkei... Took all the hit with her from the clones...

Even the copies are not budging to move after hearing Benkei’s words about Ushikawamaru’s heart... He’s also pulling Tiamat’s authority off her! At last... Both of them departed away... Right now, Quetz, it’s time to unleash your NP! Wait NO DON’T UNLEASH! THIS IS NOT FUCKING ARASH ROUND 2 HERE!!!

Unleashing her NP... Looks like some of the Chaos tide is removed! Quetz!! Damn those flying Lahmu...! What?! Chaos Tide returned from Tiamat’s feet! Quetz, stop!! QUETZ!!!

Uh oh... Seems like Quetz is badly wounded.... She even flies?! Seriously?!! And one last mana transfer via kiss, QUETZ STOP!!! NO QUETZ!!!! ISHTAR STOP HER YOU IDIOT!!!!

QUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTZZZZZZ!!!! Not Arash all over again! Damn it not at your last noble phantasm to destroy her!!!

.... As Quetz’s spirit origin fell into the chaos tide after that suicidal NP... Tiamat continues to march on! Along with more chaos tide and 1 giant ass Lahmu!

With the wall fallen... Time is ticking before the chaos tide swallows all of Uruk! And she’s going to fly again?! From the Chaos Tide... Snake... Huh? That snake even making Lahmus complaining about it since Tiamat is being tied down!

Wait... GORGON?! Well at least she’s helping our side in her own way now that’s return somehow!

Seems like Gorgon is buying us the chance to make a quick rest when we head back to find Gilgamesh again... Despite that bitter fight back at Section 15... Gorgon... No, Ana... Please do your best! Even knowing what happens at the end...!

One of Tiamat’s horn destroyed, she can no longer fly to get to Uruk faster.. Time is running out! And GOD DAMN IT IN URUK! Good thing Gilgamesh is there to clean up the Lahmus beginning to invade Uruk.

Seems like it’s going to take a long while for Eresh to bring underworld under Uruk. While waiting for Eresh, looks like King Gilgamesh is waiting for us in this final battle

............ Now if you excuse me while I need my sanity... I need to regain myself from the feels in this chapter... OTL
