* TookALevelInJerkass: During the time of ''Literature/FateZero'', Gilgamesh could be a cruel person but he was also a WarriorPoet who showed himself to be a learned philosopher and displayed both VillainRespect and even mercy towards those who were his enemies. By the time of the Fifth Holy Grail War, he's become much more cruel and merciless, displaying much less of the depth and noble qualities he had in the previous war. While his positive qualities don't totally disappear in more modern times (as he's more than capable of handing out cathartic KickTheSonOfABitch moments to people like Caster and Shinji), he's much more notable for his cruelty and self-centeredness than his compassionate and philosophical qualities once the Fifth Holy Grail War begins.

* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Ignoring the plethora of weapons in the Gate of Babylon, [[http://images.wikia.com/typemoon/images/3/3f/Ea.png Ea]] definitely fits the bill.

* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Ignoring the plethora of weapons in the Gate of Babylon, [[http://images.wikia.com/typemoon/images/3/3f/Ea.png Ea]] definitely fits the bill. Gilgamesh's most prized possession (except for maybe the Enkidu chains), Ea is a divine construct of unknown origin that - despite being called a sword - predates the concept of swords. It's an Anti-World weapon that fires a FantasticNuke; even the wind generated from its spinning sections is extremely powerful.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Gilgamesh, King of Heroes, {{narcissist}} supreme, the most powerful Servant who can possibly be summoned, practically [[BringMyBrownPants shat himself]] when he realized just how badly he underestimated [[spoiler:Sakura]]. For whatever it's worth, he didn't have to feel unbridled, pure terror for very long before he was eaten alive.

* EvilVirtues: Valor: Say what you will about Gil, one thing you can't say is that he's a wimp or coward. It's explicitly for this reason that he's able to resist the Shadow's corruption, and in the Heaven's Feel route, after getting the lower half of his leg torn off by Sakura, not only does he not cry out in agony, he doesn't even flinch, with the main source of his anger being that someone almost made him kneel before them. He also displays a genuine, if warped, sense of Responsibilty as his mean reasoning for his plan is to free humanity of the stagnation and complacency that he belives afflicts them. And, although more prominently displayed in the [[Literature/FateZero Fourth Holy Grail War]], Respect and Wisdom.
