No offense to the original Gilgamesh and King Arthur, but why is Gil afraid? One Gates of Babylon could easily destroy everyone at the "original" table.

Even if not, I can't imagine Gil acting afraid.. Even if he was outmatched I can't imagine him doing that. ...Unless he's so caught up on that 'originals are better than copies' thing and considers _himself_ a copy.. That'd probably be mindbreaking if that was the case.

Dude, have you SEEN the Gilgamesh at the other table? Gates of Babylon wouldn't even scratch his back itch, much less draw blood. Pretty boy realizes this, that's why he's shaking in his armor.
I'm interested to see how Berserker would react if he met Heracles in this situation. I'm guessing there's a good reason the artist didn't put those two in.
Gilgamesh and Saber don't really have much to fear. As fictional characters, they are a lot stronger than their historical counterparts. Not so sure about the chinese generals, but they probably didn't even fought in personal combat at all.

... Except the "historical counterparts" are fictional too. What, with being mythical figures and all.
Actually, both Gilgamesh existed in real life. He was a notorious monster of a king. The Epic of Gilgamesh is merely a legend based on this actual historical figure. There is also some small evidence that Arthur as a simple Saxon king may have actually existed as well (though the legends of the Round Table were all clearly made up legends).
Most myths are grounded in reality, if only slightly.
Evidence for King Arthur is very sketchy and requires you to turn it sideways and squint very hard to sorta maybe see a link to real people. Beyond that at some point it get's silly none of the guys are named Arthur, they don't have kingdoms of Camelot, and they don't have a bunch of knights of the round table so even if he might have vaguely inspired the legend calling him "the real King Arthur" is a bit of a stretch. Sort of like calling the various serial killers that inspired him "The real Hannibal Lecture"
Arthur in anything resembling his well known literary form is a complete legend.
what I know from Gilgamesh is:
the real Gilgamesh was even a bigger dick then the anime Gil...let's say only this: he took the right of having the first night with the bride...with every bride in the kingdom
I'm sorry, is a Kung Fu Jesus with superpowers really scared of a drunken sod of a general who was killed by his own peons? if they clipped the dialogue, this'd be real clever, but with..

Well Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought in the Yellow Turban Rebellion merely as part of the militia that Liu Bei put together, and combat during that time was fairly chaotic.
Also, as a general, nearly every enemy would be aiming to take your head, while you're carrying out the strategies of the military advisers, so you'd still have to fairly skilled to avoid dying after multiple battles.

over 2 years agoHmm, I wonder why the artist made it so the positions don't match between the two tables. Saber/King Arthur is the only one that's correct.
