Was Gilgamesh Really Jaded During the 5th Holy Grail War?

Why was the King of Heroes so jaded during the 5th Holy Grail War?

Because he had materialized.

He got covered in mud and wanted Saber to taste it too.

He wasn’t as arrogant in CCC…

>>4
Reducing the final boss’s HP by 30% results in a certain-death NP? You shouldn’t do that as an ally!

He didn’t particularly want to be in the modern world, so materializing after that mud bath wasn’t exactly ideal…

Even on the Moon, he starts harassing Saber when he sees her, trying to get a reaction—a natural-born weirdo.

>>8
Jeanne points out that this kind of talk would make people hate him, and he’s genuinely surprised because he thinks it’s normal.

It makes sense that he’d find the modern world hopeless after seeing it.

>>9
Compared to the people of Uruk, modern humans are…

Despite appearances, he’s a king who values humanity.
He dislikes humans who live aimlessly with no purpose.

Maybe he was planning to spare the humans who had a clear role.

>>12
If he was still alive after that mud bath…

>>13
King of Heroes! What do you think of this kid, Shirou Emiya?

>>168
He’d have been dead without Avalon, so he’s out.

He doesn’t kill humans with value or potential, even if they oppose him, like Waver.
But this version in the 5th War wouldn’t allow that.

>>20
When he spared Waver, he hadn’t materialized yet…

After materializing, he’s in a bad mood—just irritable.

It’s hard to compare the current era to Uruk when the times and environment are so different.

>>32
Back then, it was all about fighting with my friend.

He hates consumer civilization, and after materializing, he takes on the role of arbiter.
He likes the digital space in CCC, so he’s in a good mood there.

Looking back, it’s odd to think he would use children as nourishment.

>>45
Even as a Caster, he would accept tributes, so he’d probably do it.

If Enkidu were covered in mud, he’d likely go mad.

>>47
He’d definitely be angry.

The Chaotic-Good types seem self-righteous.
He’s particularly extreme.

>>50
But that’s his own evaluation.

>>58
Alignments can change with mental shifts, but they’re not usually self-assigned.

He used to call Kirei “Kirei” but now calls him Kotomine—maybe he’s lost some of that friendliness?

>>51
It might be because of Kotomine’s father.

>>51
In SN, their relationship feels more like “let’s do what we each want” than actual cooperation.

He’s chaotic, disregards modern order, and thinks he’s doing the right thing by his own rules.

What was he doing for those ten years?

>>55
He was a child-Gil.

>>55
Building model kits and buying a bike.

Even if he materialized without the mud, he’d probably do the same thing.

>>79
Maybe with a slight change in tone, but the result would be the same.

>>79
He’d still be drinking Kotomine’s hidden stash during the 5th War.

Anyone would be jaded after living ten years without ID or insurance, while still needing to eat and heal.
