but CCC Gilgamesh would blinks both characters on a conceptual level just by casing his shadow over them.
a better question would be if either opponent handle CCC Gilgamesh's golden ice cold coke a cola
or can either remove the taste of his salted peanuts out of their mouth.
CCC Gilgamesh's Sha Nagba Imuru isn't called the The Omniscient Omnipotent Star for nothing.
CCC Gilgamesh was directly stated to be able to achieve a state omnipotent!
He onshoted BB and Kiara both were stated to be omnipotent.
Here straight from the expert!
How does he not blitz?!
He's also shown Performing the miracle of genesis, something that reveals creation - the beginning of everything, the attack opens an abyss capable of crushing anything. The center of the storm is not calm, but rather a hole to hell itself that returns all that enters its realm to the nothingness from which it originated. The wind pressure creates a vacuum that takes all things with form, the land, the atmosphere, and the sky, into the whirling void. The tumult of genesis takes everything that was nothing more than chaos, which could not form any meaning, and creates a new truth that divides and distinguishes Heaven, Sea, and Earth. Within the darkness where everything is returned to nothingness, only Ea is left to shine with brilliance like a Star of Creation amidst the destruction, the first thing illuminating the new world. The ability takes the world as a whole within the Reality Marble Ionioi Hetairoi, and cracks shatter and collapse it into the abyss like the ending of an hourglass. The entire world inside the Reality Marble would have been destroyed had the field not collapsed due to a lack of energy.

Gilgamesh overpowered and overrode the very device that created him and originally had authority over him, and one shotted beings fused with said device. He also contains every physical Noble Phantasm and every item ever made in human history:
Gilgamesh is renowned for having collected all the treasures in the world in his lifetime, amassing a perfect treasury that lacked nothing.[6] As there was nothing he was unable to collect, Gilgamesh was a collector of treasures, whose favorite phrase, "I collected all the treasures of the earth", is not a metaphor.[6][19] As anything can be found within the vault, the amount of wealth within exceeds even his own knowledge; it is said that its inventory of treasure continues to increase even now.[4][30][31] He collected and stored away samples of all the technology that was developed during his age. The desires of ancient humans were similar to those of the current age, so their technology, bolstered by the powerful magic of his era, was not inferior to that of the modern age. The "Instruments of Hope" that people dreamed of were all realized, and because every single case was requisitioned by the King's hand, his collection is even furnished with airplanes and submarines.[19]
It also contains all of the original bases for all intellectual properties produced by mankind that originated in his kingdom, making board games and the works of the Library of Alexandria no more than imitations.[32] It is still sought out by some magi, believed to hold all things in the world and enshrine every possible magical artifact.[28] That within are not merely riches, but his collection is the very "origin of human wisdom."[19] It is the proof of human wisdom and human ingenuity.[4] That which is missing from the vault would be items produced with completely new concepts by a new human race and items produced with extraterrestrial intelligence and technology.[19] He is the original hero, so all heroes of various myths are derived from his legend. It may be a paradox, but he, as the original, must possess that which can be handed down as the Noble Phantasms possessed by those later heroes for they are derived from him for that very reason.[19] These weapons are technically nameless, the original Prototypes of the Noble Phantasms (すべての宝具の原型, Subete no Hōgu no Genkei?) and the common points before they became objects of faith that act as the foundations for their legends.
It says that he does not know of all the items in his Gate of Babylon, and that he is incapable of using the specific functions on Noble Phantasms, but this can be changed with Gilgamesh's ability called SNI, which practically grants him nigh to full omniscience:
Sha Naqba Imuru (He who Saw the Deep): The Omniscient Omnipotent Star (全知なるや全能の星シャ・ナクパ・イルム, Zenchinaru ya Zen'nō no HoshiSha Nakupa Irumu?) is the mentality of Gilgamesh sublimated into a Noble Phantasm, said to have "spread across all corners of the world as if the brilliance of the stars, seeing through all creation." It is a "continuously active-type Noble Phantasm" that does not require its name to be invoked, but it is assumed that Gilgamesh keeps it intentionally restrained. Possessing tremendous efficiency, it can discern heavily concealed truths with a single glance, from that of the opponent's True Name and Noble Phantasms to possibly even seeing through a piece of the truth of the demise of human history in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.[1] Upon releasing its True Name, it will work as a form of "instruction" for him to guide others with the most optimal tactics, simultaneously increasing the attack power and defense power of his whole team near his position.[2]
Gilgamesh is a clairvoyance user with a "sense of 'sight' several levels above the ordinary."[3][4] When facing him in a game like chess, he claims that even someone making advanced predictions and reading the flow of the game will have already lost at that moment. He does not read the future of the chess board, but instead gazes down upon and oversees it, allowing the correct move to always be visible to him. Even in something like a card game, the very minimum requirement to play against him on equal terms would be to draw the precise hand required.[3] He can also see the possibilities of various parallel worlds should he so chooses, but, as a Heroic Spirit, the Throne of Heroes normally adjusts his memories and knowledge to the world in which he is summoned in to keep him from being confused by multiple sets of memories. Even with this ability, his personality would cause him to reject certain world lines as nonsense, such as using clairvoyance to see something like a possibility of a world where he is swallowed by the mud of the grail.[4]

Now while Gilgamesh's arrogance sometimes makes him ignore SNI, you sre unfortunately using CCC Gilgamesh, who is much more serious. With this ability, he can see every correct move to make, how to use every specific Noble Phantasm in his Gate (as evident with him instantly finding out how everyone else's Noble Phantasms work instantly), and should be able to know everything that is in his Gate. As we see Gilgamesh pull out highly specific weapons from his Gate that fit the situation perfectly, which is clearly due to SNI:
Gilgamesh can also go from being a lackluster swordsman to the best in the entire Nasuverse with SNI; as he was capable of trading blows with Moon Cell BB (a nigh-omniscient advanced Moon Cell AI that has the memory and data of all the best warriors in Gaia's history) in close quarters combat:
As for what Gilgamesh can pull from the Gate to kill Reinhard with... He has weapons that can instill the concept of death into something:
Black Barrel (ブラックバレル, Burakku Bareru?), also called Longinus, which he excavated from the sealed region of Atlasia. It is gun that is a "Conceptual Weapon of natural life-span", capable of imposing the notion of limited life-span into the body of near-immortal creatures.
Barrel Replica (バレルレプリカ, Bareru Repurika?), a Mystic Code that is a replica of the Black Barrel, with the apperance of a CZ 75.[2] Described to look like a CZ 75 handgun, it is a Conceptual Weapon of "natural lifespan" that puts out a toxin, attack power, in proportion to that life form's natural life span
"Near-immortal" seems to be a wiki mistranslation, as we see the Barrel Replica kill an immortal being and beings without the concept of death (considered to be above immortality).
Ultimate Ones (原初の一アルテミット・ワン, Gensho no IchiArutemitto Wan?, lit. Primordial One (Ultimate One)), also known as Aristoteles (アリストテレス, Arisutoteresu?) by the humans of the Land of Steel or Types (タイプ, Taipu?), are the eight ultimate lifeforms from other heavenly bodies, embodying the will of the planets themselves.
Ultimate Ones are the ultimate beings from other planets, differing significantly from both creatures of Earth and each other biologically and in appearance. They do not have the same sense of self as humans, nor do they have the concepts of damage or death.
Fragarach: Gouging Sword of the War God (斬り抉る戦神の剣フラガラック, Kiri Eguru Senjin no KenFuragarakku?), also called Answerer: That Which Comes Later Cuts First (後より出でて先に断つものアンサラー, Ato yori Idete Saki ni Tatsu monoAnsarā?) and The Retaliator, is a Noble Phantasm and Mystic Code with the ultimate form of counterattack. It is the "Sword of Retrograde" and an indefeasible weapon of the gods, divinely protected by some malicious will, that works by using a conceptual curse to warp destiny and a divine trick that uses time as its blade. It warps causality to always strike the opponent in the heart with a needle thin concentrated blast right before they unleash their ultimate attack. The condition for its use is that the opponent must use their strongest attack, and Fragarach must be used directly after the enemy's strike. It would normally be that Fragarach would kill the enemy, and the opponent's attack would also simultaneously destroy Bazett.
Despite being released afterwards and no matter how fast the opposing attack is cast, Fragarach always strikes first by changing the flow of time to rewrite events so that it makes its own strike against the enemy before the opposing move was ever made in the course of the world. Rather than just rewriting events to gouge out the heart of the enemy, it is severing the fate of the combatants, reversing and changing the flow of destiny of both the user and the enemy simultaneously killing each other with their attacks. The attack of the enemy, returned to a point where it "couldn't happen" due to the user being struck down by Fragarach, is wiped out by the laws of the world and the absolute system of time. No matter the power or speed of the ability, it is impossible to use if the enemy is defeated and has all of their later actions voided before they even have a chance to attack. It is an ability using one's life as bait to counter a one-turn-kill to win the battle that both kills the enemy and nullifies their attack, creating a perfect balance between offensive and defensive capabilities.
Gilgamesh can also return the favor in kind with his own spear, Gae Bolg:

Gilgamesh can also return the favor in kind with his own spear, Gae Bolg:
Gáe Bolg: Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death (刺し穿つ死棘の槍ゲイ・ボルク, Sashi Ugatsu Shitoge no YariGei Boruku?, also translated as Spear of Impaling Barbed Death) is an attack focused on a single target, created by Lancer to suit his own style, that strikes a fatal blow that always pierces the opponent's heart and ruins their body from within with its thousand iron thorns. It literally freezes the mana in the air, and it can easily be perceived as a sure-kill technique by all those around simply from being charged with magical energy. Once Gáe Bolg's name has been called, the cursed spear reverses the nature of causality, the meaning of "cause and effect" in the order of things, to make it so the cause of the "lance being thrust" comes from the effect of the "opponent's heart being pierced" by it. It determines the opponent's fate simply through its use, an always fatal move that pierces the heart with one thrust. It is also possible for him to activate it without actively striking the heart.[6] It is an attack on destiny itself, and while not a surprising fact due to its wielder's demi-god heritage, it is a top-notch power even with its seeming limitations in power due to being a step away from the Authority of the Gods.[7]
The actual action of the thrust is merely a formality, as the lance has already pierced the opponent's heart before the attack has even started. The "result" of "the heart of the opponent has been pierced" is created earlier than it is thrust, while the "cause" that "the lance has pierced through the heart" is generated later. Aside from great luck, it is a technique that determines "if it is released, the opponent is dead."
Gilgamesh can also bind Reinhard with Enkidu, The Chains of Heaven, which increases the strength of the chains based on the opponents divinity, and scales its strength to their divinity

Gilgamesh can also bind Reinhard with Enkidu, The Chains of Heaven, which increases the strength of the chains based on the opponents divinity, and scales its strength to their divinity:
Enkidu: Chains of Heaven (天の鎖エルキドゥ, Ten no KusariErukidu?) is the Noble Phantasm most trusted by Gilgamesh, even more so than Ea, and the "greatest secret" stored in the Gate of Babylon. It is a chain named after his closest friend, made to bind the gods so they cannot escape, making it one of the few Anti-Divine weapons that holds the concept of "reigning over the gods." The strength and durability of the chain grows stronger with the target having higher Divinity, but is no more than a tough chain to a target without Divinity like Saber, Assassin, or Archer. When used against a regular human like Shirou Emiya, he feels he has no chance of prying it off of him. Divine targets are completely held in place, allowing him to bind the "Bull of Heaven" that brought seven years of famine in Uruk. It does have some sort of limit, as even he is able to tell that the chain is not enough to completely bind the demi-god Heracles strengthened by Mad Enhancement.
It should be noted that Heracles only broke the chains because he has an ability to adapt to anything.
Gilgamesh can also fire all of the Noble Phantasms in his Gate like a rain of bullets, each with their own special ability:
While it is possible to block many of the strikes, to do so without knowing the abilities of the weapons can be seen as suicidal.[8] He will generally fight at long range while shooting projectiles from behind him directly at the opponent, but he can also freely move with the portals also moving with him.[12] He can freely deploy the portals mid-air while piloting Vimana as well.[20] When fighting at extremely close range, he shows the ability to loose weapons from above, below, and to the side of the opponent.[21] He can also summon weapons completely around the target for a full 360 degree barrage that should generally leave not even a single trace of flesh from the opponent.[16] When closed upon by a target, or simply to play with the opponent, he can freely draw weapons into his hands for melee combat.[6][22] The ability to handle them depends upon the user's capability.[3] Gilgamesh makes use of the many unknown abilities of the weapons, and constantly switches them to keep his opponent off-guard.[6]
So Reinhard will also have to deal with countless of weapons being shot at him, with each weapon carrying some sort of effect/ability/hax. All of this, but with a full power multiversal Gilgamesh from the Extraverse timelines, who has speed that can match omnipresence. lmao
Since Gilgamesh literally has every item from Earth (which makes up 99.9% of the Nasuverse's known items), it is borderline impossible and pointless to list them all here. I only listed the ones I think will let him win easily. Gilgamesh is honestly better off being pitted against Umineko due to his hax.
Oh, and Enuma Elish isn't even remotely needed here; thus I did not mention it.
Tagging acquaintances who may want to argue for Rein, or who may just be interested to see this:
Biography
Gilgamesh, the great half-god, half-human king born from the union between the King of Uruk, Lugalbanda, and goddess Rimat-Ninsun. He ruled the Sumerian city-state of Uruk, the capital city of ancient Mesopotamia in the B.C. era. He was an ultimate, transcendent being so divine as to be two-thirds god and one-third human, and no others in the world could match him. He was a despot possessing high divinity who believed he was invincible. He is not merely a legend, and is said to have actually existed and ruled during the Sumer Dynasty five thousand years ago. He was the King of Heroes (英雄王, Eiyū-Ō?) who possessed all things in the world, whose tale is recorded in mankind's oldest epic poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh which portrays Gilgamesh as a hero, destined to be king and achieve great feats, who is driven to meet his destiny, facing challenges together with his best friend Enkidu.
His title, King of Heroes, is not meant to call him a king who is a hero, but instead implies that he is the king over all heroes. He is mankind's oldest hero, the origin of all myths and model on which heroes are based, so his story is copied within the mythologies of all the countries of the world. The heroes of various myths are derived from his legend, so his Gate of Babylon possesses all of their Noble Phantasms. Though there are numerous kings with titles such as the King of Knights or the King of Conquerors, he is the only one in all of heaven and earth crowned with the title of "King of All Heroes."
In the world of Fate/Extra, Gilgamesh is encountered by Hakuno Kishanami, a master in the Moon Cell Holy Grail War whom he decides to make a Servant contract with. Normally, it should be impossible for anyone to contact Gilgamesh in the Moon Cell, as he exist in the higher dimensional Far Side/Garden of The Fallen, where no ordinary being should be able to exist, however due to BB's reconstruction of the Far Side, it was made accessible to by ordinary beings.
Gilgamesh and Hakuno proceed on a long journey with many battles to stop the rampant A.I BB, who seeks to take control of the Moon Cell.
Terminology
We will go over basic terminology of the Nasuverse, just in case anyone is not too knowledgeable.
Nasuverse: A name given by fans that refers to almost the entirety of all works created by Kinoko Nasu. Almost all of his works such as Mahoutsukai no Yoru, Tsukihime, Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Extra, and more exist within the same universe (with a few exceptions).
Reality Marble: The concept of a Reality Marble (固有結界, Koyū Kekkai?, Innate Bounded Field) is one that centers around the materialization and projection of one's inner world onto reality following the Thaumaturgical Theory World Egg (世界卵, Sekai Tamago?). Originally, it was an ability that daemons have as their Alien Common Sense (異界常識, Ikai Jōshiki?), but some people such as The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors and the greatest of magi have made this ability available to use through a long time. The created worlds are completely cut off from normal reality, projecting their internal landscape and sealing off the regular World. Following the World Egg theory, the actualization of a Reality Marble is the result of switching the Self and the World while keeping the boundary the same. The size of the Self and the World is switched, enclosing the World in a small container while the Self is expanded. The contained World is the World Egg and the name of the theory. They will encase anyone within range, causing them to disappear from view.
So far, the biggest reality marble in the Nasuverse is the Moon Cell's, being far beyond what is classified as an infinite multiverse.
Noble Phantasm: Noble Phantasms (ノウブル・ファンタズム, Nouburu Fantazumu?), in Japanese literary called Precious Tools (宝具, Hōgu?) are "crystallized mysteries", powerful armaments made using the imagination of humans as their core, and weapons or abilities owned by Heroic Spirits. They are the embodiment of the ultimate mysteries of a hero that symbolizes one's existence through historical facts and anecdotes. They can be physical weapons, such as swords, lances, and bows, or support items, such as rings and crowns. They can also be abstract concepts, like unique abilities, unique means of attacks, curses, and changes to the environment and its physical properties. When summoned as Servants in the Holy Grail War, they are the trump cards of the heroes that allow them to overcome others in battle.
Due to Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon and being the King of Heroes, he possesses every Noble Phantasm in history with very few exceptions, such as Hercules's God Hand.
Holy Grail: In Fate/Extra, the Holy Grail is actually what masters refer to as the Moon Cell or the Moon Cell's core, which can be used in a similar way to the original Holy Grail (although on a much higher level). The victor of the Holy Grail War has the privilege of entering the Moon Cell's core to grant a single wish, just like the original Holy Grail.
Cosmology
Nasuverse cosmology is quite unique, with planets being reality marbles themselves, the Throne of Heroes outside of space-time, ect; for this thread however, we will only be focusing on the higher dimensions of the Nasuverse and the Moon Cell's cosmology.
Higher dimensions in the Nasuverse are not talked about much, as most Nasuverse characters are planetary or lower in terms of power, however there is a little bit of information that seems to show (or at least heavily imply) that higher dimensions in the Nasuverse are completely superior to lower. I would like to also state that we are NOT using VSBattles dimensional tiering.
The first bit of information that seems to show higher dimensions are absolutely superior to lower is Saber/Arturia's Avalon, "Its function as a Noble Phantasm is an "absolute defense" that completely shields its user in the domain of the fairies, Avalon, the unreachable utopia that King Arthur dreamt of and was said to have gone to after her death. It is the greatest protection in the world that goes beyond defending or reflecting, completely isolating its user in a world completely separate from the regular world. The scabbard dissipates into countless tiny particles in the air and engulfs the user to become a "portable fortress" that shuts out all interference. It is the Bounded Field of the tranquil domain of fairies that keeps out all filth from the outside world, and allows nothing to harm the tranquil King that stands in the land of Avalon. The individual is shielded from all destructive interference in the physical realm, transliners from parallel worlds, and multidimensional communication as far as the sixth dimension. It is on the level of true magic, an actual true magic in itself, that transcends all magecraft, and not even the Five Magics can overcome the barrier" So based off this, Avalon seems to be a solid 6-D defensive Noble Phantasm. The only possible Noble Phantasm (that isn't from Fate/Extra) that can damage Avalon, is a full powered Enuma Elish from Gilgamesh, as it isn't simply an attack, but conceptually returns all to nothingness at full power (Saber's Avalon only blocked a casual Enuma Elish from an arrogant Gilgamesh in Fate/Stay Night).
Now onto Fate/Extra and the Moon Cell, which is far above even Avalon...
The Moon Cell is an object in Earth's solar system that simply observes the Earth. Despite it being a relatively small object in the solar system, with it's reality warping powers, the Moon Cell can create a virtual reality marble way beyond the size of a multiverse within its domain, despite its small physical size in the real world.
The Moon Cell's Far Side is anywhere from 5-D (stated to be higher dimensional, meaning above 4-D) to 7-D (it's description and properties seem far more impressive than Avalon's). "There also exists the Far Side of the Moon (月の裏側, Tsuki no Uragawa?), an imaginary space known as the trash bin that is used for storing malicious information and imaginary numbers. Sealed off as "Not For Use" information, it is a higher dimension where the light within the photon crystals is jumbled. It is the “exterior of the world”, and can be called the "Garden of the Fallen" built from imaginary numbers in contrast to the Near Side being a cell where the "light of heavenly fire" is imprisoned. Due to his power, Gilgamesh is not allowed to appear on the Near Side of the Moon, so he sleeps in the Far Side instead. Nothing else should be able to exist there because it is the territory of nil, and intelligent life forms should not be allowed or be able to exist there. It is not within normal time, allowing for a series of communications over eighteen days from Earth to take less than a microsecond within the timeframe of the Moon Cell."
As you can see, Gilgamesh in the world of Fate/Extra is so powerful that he exist in a higher dimensional void that is possibly above Avalon in his base form.
As for how ordinary beings begin to safely enter the Far Side... "Due to BB surfacing and gaining power as an Advanced A.I., she begins an extensive reconstruction and periods of resetting to work towards her goals. This allows for someone to contact Gilgamesh even when it should be impossible. The end result of her work is Cursed Cutting Crater, a real space in the present, past, and future. Establishing it as a "place", even Masters can exist there. It is not possible to hack the Moon Cell however much time is spent, but she is able to take control of it by placing herself in “unlimited time” through the power of the primordial goddesses she has taken into herself"
The Moon Cell has at least eight confirmed dimensions, as the barrier around the Moon Cell's core cuts through eight dimensions, and was only bypassed by BB's hacking abilities. "BB :: However…The Moon Cell is, you might say impudent, or that its defenses are flawless. Even though I managed to pass through the imaginary number space at the speed of light, a huge wall now stands before our devilish heroine BB-chan! It’s a perfectly spherical spirit particle defense wall that cuts through eight dimensions. It looks like it’ll be very hard to break down this wall. But this is the last move. After I break this wall into little pieces I’ll have reached my goal. So I’ve left all of you in Meltlilith’s care." So we know that the Moon Cell has eight dimensions considering one of its barriers cuts through that many dimensions. I do believe (despite no confirmed limit) that the Moon Cell caps out at eight dimensions, as the barrier BB is getting past is the final barrier before reaching the Moon Cell's core, meaning said barrier should logically be made with the Moon Cell's maximum power to prevent anyone from accessing its core.
However there is more to the Moon Cell's cosmology than just dimensions... Now to what actually exist within it's reality marble...
The Moon Cell containsinfinitefutures of the Earth somewhere in the Far Side; this alone should qualify as an infinite multiverse of some sort. You may say "but these are just infinite possibilities/futures of a planet, while a multiverse contains infinite universes", but keep in mind that ANYTHING of infinite size should be comparable to an infinite multiverse, not to mention these possible futures are stored in presumably, the higher dimensional Far Side, meaning you would need a being on that level to damage/destroy it (as we saw with Avalon blocking out anything up to the sixth dimension). You may also say "But they are POSSIBLE futures, meaning they don't exist", however the Moon Cell simulates and stores all of these possibilities, meaning they exist to some extent within the Moon Cell, "Rani :: The Holy Grail is an observational device that simulates the future of the Earth, and stores those records continuously, at regular intervals. It has been doing so since the beginning of human history. Though it is supposed, an infinity of futures are recorded here in the moon. To obtain the Moon Cell means to be able to search out the future you wish for from among all of those, and put it into effect." We learn from the above links from Twice that the possible futures are indeed infinite.
There is one possible infinite sized area in the Near Side of the Moon Cell (the lower dimensional areas where the Holy Grail War takes place) called the Infinite Chimeric Lunar Sea. It is the last floor of the Chimeric Lunar Sea with an unknown size. The playable area is limited in size, but that is because of the barriers that prevent the player from going further out. Despite being a name, Kinoko Nasu never tends to name things randomly for no reason, so I believe it to be infinite. Since this is my Respect Thread, I will be counting this realm as infinite, however if a name alone isn't enough for you, feel free to discard it in debates.
Before we get to the main event, I'd like to state that Fate/Extra and Fate/Extra CCC have nothing to do with the main timelines of the Nasuverse and has an entirely different set of power levels for it's incarnation of all of these characters. The power of Fate/Stay Night Gilgamesh has nothing to do with Gilgamesh from Fate/Extra CCC. The timelines from Fate/Extra to other timelines are too different to powerscale from. I would also like to state that we are NOT using Fate/Extella, as despite being similar to Fate/Extra, has way too many different powerscaling contradictions, motives, backstory, and overall lore. The Moon Cell bestowing a regalia to Hakuno in Extella despite planning to delete her in Extra, and the fact that Extra and CCC's endings all make Extella impossible to happen is enough to prove that they are incompatible. I could go into many more reasons, but now is not the time.
Now onto the main event...
As we know, Gilgamesh in his base form (pre-Genesis Mystic Code) was able to live in a 5-D to possibly 7-D realm. Gilgamesh became much weaker during the beginning of Fate/Extra CCC however, partly due to his long sleep in the Far Side, but almost entirely due to making a contract with an incompetent master that had lost all of her memories. The Servant contract with Hakuno Kishinami made Gilgamesh go from a "absolute being" in her eyes, to getting smacked around by a "second-rate Servant." "While drifting in the space of imaginary numbers in the Far Side of the Moon, Hakuno encounters Gilgamesh in a weakened state. Gilgamesh tells Hakuno, who was frightened by the presence of an "absolute being", that she does not have the permission to look upon, question, or speak with him."
"Gilgamesh :: …still, this isn’t good. While it was a delight to experience the dilemmas of the weak, there is a limit to it. To be pushed about from start to finish by a second-rate Servant…it’s almost disheartening."
So saying, Gilgamesh snaps his fingers. As he does so, the air ripples as if boiling, and a drinking vessel appears. There’s no mistaking it, it’s wine and a wine glass.
Gilgamesh :: What, it’s a simple story. I have manifested as Servant in the same way as the other heroic spirits. On the theme of “participate in the Holy Grail War held by the Moon Cell.” But my power was too great. What the Moon Cell wanted was not the strongest Master, but the last surviving Master. If I had been present, the result would have been decided from the beginning, so I was not allowed to enter the Holy Grail War. Therefore, I was sealed on the far side of the moon.
—-! So, he was trapped over here, just like all of us have been…!?
Gilgamesh :: Of course not. Don’t put me on your level. I walked in here myself. Not a melee of seven mages, but 128 person formal tournament? It’s laughable. In a few words…the taste of desire becomes diluted. The Near Side’s Grail War would only drive me to edge with boredom. A carefully sculpted with no betrayal, no artifice, no fruitless exertions, that does not suit my tastes. So I abandoned the Near Side. All human evils are enclosed in the darkness of the Far Side of the moon — That murky, stagnant pool is much like the primordial chaos. And it has an excellent tranquility. So I made myself a sleeping chamber, and dozed off into dreams of decadence."
Gilgamesh blames himself alone for his weakened state, but we know that the power of Servants depends on their master, and he seems to imply making a Servant contract at all would weaken him. "That’s not Gilgamesh’s responsibility. While his physical condition did degrade during his long sleep, the original cause of it is my own failings. The reason we couldn’t do anything against Lancer was because I couldn’t provide sufficient back up or direction. It was my failure as a Master. Before I get back my memories, I need to retrain myself."
Throughout the game, Hakuno and Gilgamesh both train together, along with them defeating multiple Servants in the process, until they finally find BB once more. Apparently Gilgamesh throughout his training has hit universe level since he seems to imply he can stop BB's higher dimensional universe level attack (higher dimensional since the universe they are in is in the Far Side), however he most likely would need to use Ea to defend against such an attack. "
Gilgamesh turns BB’s words against her provocatively. …if that’s any indication, he’s ready to shoot down BB on the spot. Looking at me and Gilgamesh like this,
BB :: Of course I will end it. If Hakuno Kishinami does not sever her contract with Gilgamesh, I will bring down all electrical power.
She’s saying she’ll destroy the universe. The girl in black announces it, not as a bluff or a metaphor, but as if it were natural.
Gilgamesh :: — Oh? You may have gone out of control, but you’re still a managerial AI. Aren’t you unable to kill Masters?
BB :: I do not presently have the right to kill Masters, but it is possible for me to make this sector collapse. I can end all of you and myself as well if necessary. This is the worst and final measure. I am prepared for complaints from all intelligent life in the solar system. Miss Hakuno Kishinami. I will propose it again. Please sever your contract with this Servant.
Gilgamesh :: So it seems, Hakuno. What will you do? I don’t care either way.
This has gotten ridiculous. BB threatening me into cutting my contract with Gilgamesh, saying she’ll “end everything” if I don’t obey. Of course I don’t know if that’s true or not. BB has corroded the far side of the Moon Cell and consumed many Servants, but even she isn’t that powerful…I’d like to think."
Notice base Gilgamesh isn't even remotely impressed at universe busting, also notice that the universe is referred to as a sector in the Moon Cell, so a random sector in the Moon Cell is a universe. Keep in mind the sector/universe they are in is higher dimensional as well.
Now time for Genesis Mystic Code Gilgamesh...
Since this thread is about Gilgamesh and not BB, I will make this brief... BB has absorbed the data of many Divine Spirits, including the Earth Mother Goddess. One of her main abilities is Potnia Theron, which makes her impossible to defeat if her opponent is someone from Earth. The only way to counter this if you are from Earth is to have authority and power on her level, which forces Gilgamesh and Hakuno to re-obtain his Genesis Mystic Code, which gives him the same level of authority and power as Moon Cell fused BB.
"Ten Crowns (十の王冠, Jū no Ōkan?) is an EX rank skill. It has been said that the ten crowns indicates the ten evil kings and the seven hills indicate the abominable city of evil. It is unknown what kind of principle・authority it is, but that power's origin lies in a past that even the King of Heroes, who was supposed to be mankind's oldest, cannot reach. On a simple look, it is a Skill that turns received injuries and occurred events, that make all results as if "nothing happened". As a matter of fact, BB is invincible as long as she has this skill.
The details of Ten Crowns is later revealed under a different name. BB compiled and absorbed many goddesses from the abyss of the Moon Cell, giving her Potnia Theron: Conception of All Animals (百獣母胎ポトニア・テローン, Hyakujū BotaiPotonia Terōn?), the authority of the Earth Mother Goddess. None born of the earth can defy her authority as that would mean rebelling against the system of life itself. Her Noble Phantasm, Cursed Cutting Crater, is the maximum use of the skill."
BB also fusing with the Moon Cell's core/becoming the Moon Cell means she has the full power of the Moon Cell, the same device that has an 8D reality marble with at least two infinite sized realms in it, which goes far beyond what qualifies as an infinite sized multiverse, meaning Moon Cell BB is also at this level. Her Noble Phantasm is even stated to wipe out dimensions and reality.
"Cursed Cutting Crater (C. C. C.)
An attack on the world by BB in control of the Moon Cell.
Also called the spirit particle imaginary pit.
A world purge by means of event rewriting, making maximum use of the EX skill “Potnia Theron” BB had acquired.
The goddess who is the mother of the earth goddesses who created the earth is, in other words, the “root” that created all creation.
This Noble Phantasm is an anti-world Noble Phantasm that outputs information like an ultra-precise 3d printer and crushes the present world with the world desired by the user.
The space eroded by BB becomes imaginary space and a curse that consumes reality. CCC as the name suggests is a cursed pit that bores out reality.
In addition to scattering all objects inside on an atomic level and reconstructing them, it is capable of writing over and rewriting information of fields such as luck and coincidence.
While theoretical, it is also thought possible to distort the time axis by interfering with gravity fields and rewrite the law of cause and effect.
When used in combat, BB’s familiars, the shapeshifters engulf the target, and after turning into a sphere, is wiped out of existence along with the target and the dimension with it."
Keyword is "reality" and "dimensions." CCC can consume reality and erase dimensions, and BB used CCC in the Far Side of Angelica cage, which is higher dimensional. Calling CCC planet level because it's called "Anti World" is vastly out of context. This Noble Phantasm is the second strongest in the entire Nasuverse next to Fate/Extra CCC's version of Gilgamesh's Enuma Elish.
Gilgamesh after obtaining his Mystic Code is equal in raw power to Moon Cell BB.
Gilgamesh :: Indeed. A king should never show his true form, even unto his death. However, my mongrel wagered her life to bring these rites to the attention of the crown. If I do not answer her call, who will? If the malice covering this place belongs to all the world, that’s most convenient. Listen carefully, all beings. This woman is my contractor. Consider harming Hakuno Kishinami without my permission impossible from now unto eternity!"
In the battle, Gilgamesh is capable of flat out one shotting Moon Cell BB via Enuma Elish. When Gilgamesh plants his sword Ea into the ground, the mere spinning of it destroys the entire Moon Cell reality marble. The main argument against this feat is that "It's only a game cinematic" and "If he really destroyed the Moon Cell reality marble, why is it back after the attack is over?" To the first argument, I say that it isn't a mere cinematic because the mere spinning of Ea is stated to devour space-time and reality (I will post Ea and Enuma elish related statements below). To the second argument, I say that the Moon Cell's core restored its reality marble, after all, it's shown capable of doing this once Sakura takes control of the Moon Cell.
"Delete all the Moon Cell’s set rules…? Wait, could Sakura be planning to reset all Moon Cell’s “administrative functions,” including herself!?
Gilgamesh :: To sweep away this whole affair as if it were all a dream…So you will protect the Moon Cell even at the cost of your own life, no, your own soul, AI?
Sakura :: …Yes, it’s fine. If I disappear, it will stop running out of control and the corrosion will stop. All of you will be returned to the near side, and the imaginary number space will be erased from proper history, as if it never existed. Everything will go back to how it was before. I am an AI born from the Moon Cell. I’ll just being going back to the place I used to be. …Yes, everything will be set right. As soon as you open your eyes. That meeting, the time we’ve spent here, everything. So please don’t worry. It’s just the ending of a dream. Ah, but — It was a long dream. It was fun, and it made me happier than it should —
This is… Is there really no other way left to fix this? “Everything as it was before,” Sakura said. We’ll go back to before we were draw into the far side of the moon, back to the correct history where “there is no far side of the moon.” So everything that happened here will be gone. All the times we worked together on the student council. Our battles with BB and the Alter Egos, all of the many things that happened here."
Also the fact that Gilgamesh can stomp BB who became the Moon Cell itself backs up this feat.
As for Gilgamesh's sword, Ea...
"Sword of Rupture, Ea (乖離剣・エア, Kairi Ken - Ea?) is the most powerful Noble Phantasm contained in the Gate of Babylon and the pinnacle of all those used by Servants. Unlike all of his other nameless weapons that were able to be passed on to other wielders over the course of history, it is a sword only Gilgamesh possesses, a completely unique existence that can only be possessed by him, that is suited only for a ruler's use and makes him transcendent.
Borne of the winds drawn unto the revolution of the three cylinders of Ea, a spatial severence is formed by use of the Sword of Separation. Compressed and intertwined stratifications of wind become a virtual dislocation of space-time, annihilating any who would stand in opposition. Aside from holding an elimination rank "Armor Class" statistic of a sufficient magnitude to resist Purging, or enacting mutual negation via a counterattack that inflicts the same order of damage, the damage rendered cannot be defended against"
This is caused by the mere spinning of Ea's blade. As for Ea's ultimate attack, Enuma Elish...
"Performing the miracle of genesis, something that reveals creation - the beginning of everything, the attack opens an abyss capable of crushing all of creation, and the center of the storm is not calm, but rather a hole to hell itself that returns all that enters its realm to the nothingness from which it originated. The wind pressure creates a vacuum that takes all things with form, the land, the atmosphere, and the sky, into the whirling void. The tumult of genesis takes everything that was nothing more than chaos which could not form any meaning, and creates a new truth that divides and distinguishes Heaven, Sea, and Earth. Within the darkness where everything is returned to nothingness, only Ea is left to shine with brilliance like a Star of Creation amidst the destruction, the first thing illuminating the new world. The ability takes the entire world within the Reality Marble Ionioi Hetairoi, and cracks, shatters, and collapses it into the abyss like the ending of an hourglass. The entire world inside the Reality Marble would have been completely destroyed had the field not collapsed due to a lack of energy."
As you can see, some of these quotes are referencing things outside of Fate/Extra, such as Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero, as these pages are not exclusively dedicated to Extra. Fate/Extra CCC's Enuma Elish works the same way as the other incarnations of Enuma Elish from the main timelimes, only amped to a higher dimensional beyond multiversal level (as shown with what they can do to the Moon Cell reality marble and Moon Cell BB).
As for the rest of Gilgamesh's abilities, they may be added at a later time, but this respect thread is meant mainly for the power of CCC Gilgamesh.
Speed
Before I talk about CCC Gilgamesh speed. Let me tell you what speed is. Speed is simply how fast a character can move in a given amount of time. There are five types of speed used for VS purposes: Attack Speed, Combat Speed, Reaction Speed, Travel Speed, and Flight Speed. The term "Speed" normally refers to Combat Speed.
Attack Speed
The speed at which an attack moves. For example, X character is hypersonic, but he can do an attack that is a natural beam of light, the speed for the attack is different from the speed of the user, hence the attack would be lightspeed even if its user isn't.
Combat Speed
The speed at which a character can fight.
Reaction Speed
Reaction speed is the speed at which a character can react to an event or action. This usually only grants a short movement upon reaction, whereas several movements at the same speed switch it to combat speed.
For example, let's say that character A shoots at character B with a gun and character B dodges. That is reaction speed. Keep in mind, sometimes a person aim dodges and it is not as good of a feat.
As another example, let's say that character A uses a minigun on character B, but the minigun takes a second or two to charge up and Character B sees this. If Character B dodges it is considered aim dodging since he/she knew that the attack was going to happen.
Reaction speed is reacting to an attack that you don't know is going to happen, or at a very close range. The reaction speed of a character also tends to be higher than its movement speed.
Travel Speed
The speed at which a character or object can move by running, or through similar means that do not involve flight or teleportation.
Flight Speed
The speed at which a character or object flies a certain distance, like going from the earth to the sun for example.
High flight speed logically requires similar reaction speed in order to maneuver when approaching different objects.
Gilgamesh's Speed
Gilgamesh's speed in Fate/Extra is almost always interpreted incorrectly by fans. Many people claim Gilgamesh is billions of times faster than light due to him being sent to the Horsehead Nebula and coming back instantly, however Gilgamesh's true speed is beyond the concept of space-time, here is why...
BB after becoming the Moon Cell is described by Rin as having a higher dimensional existence and perspective where she can view and handle the past, present, and future at once, "Rin :: On the other hand, the laws of the recorded universe are different. The perception of the recorded universe is over many dimensions…think of it as a higher dimensional existence. From this higher dimension, the third dimension looks like a flat scroll. Er, if the three-dimensional world is a world drawn in a book, and then if you jumped inside the book and came out outside the book, something like that? And then you’re able to look down on any point in your past, present, and future from when you were inside the book, as a record — that’s the higher dimensional perspective. You get it? Under these circumstances, all time inside the book becomes equivalent. Since you can always turn to whatever time you want to. There’s no past or future. It’s the same as that. This is imaginary number space, a higher dimensional information space made from light. The far side of the moon is fundamentally operated according to the laws of the recorded universe, not the observed universe. We are foreign bodies…no, guests. Creatures of the the observed universe that have been thrown into the recorded universe. Whereas the Moon Cell’s Core is a concurrent world simulator where all possibilities are calculated and the past, present, and future all exist at the same time. In other words, it belongs to the recorded universe. BB has become that Moon Cell. She’s obtained a higher dimensional perspective. So — BB can handle the past and the future simultaneously." Notice from the earlier descriptions of BB's abilities that before fusing with the Moon Cell, she placed herself in "unlimited time" so she could hack the Moon Cell. So we have base BB pre-Moon Cell already in unlimited time, and Moon Cell BB existing above it, so how can Gilgamesh keep pace with BB if he is only billions of times faster than light? Simple, he can't... Moon Cell BB stated that Genesis Mystic Code Gilgamesh is on her level, meaning that Gilgamesh exist beyond time just like Moon Cell BB (makes sense since he existed in the Far Side in base).
Moon Cell Hakuno also makes an interesting comment...
As for the Horsehead Nebula feat Kiara did to Gilgamesh, there are two possibilities... One, that the feat of him getting back from 1,500 light years was more than just distance, as Kiara threw Gilgamesh into conceptual space and into the Horsehead Nebula in one of the many universes in the Moon Cell (a universe was referred to as a mere sector of the Moon Cell, as shown earlier) in a different dimension from Angelica Cage (the realm where the Moon Cell's core is), and it shows a beam of light come across the screen and he is back instantly. People assume Kiara threw him from Earth to the Horsehead Nebula, making him MFTL, but they were in the higher dimensional Angelica Cage (nowhere near Earth or the universe in general in the Moon Cell), meaning Kiara threw him across dimensions into a random universe in the Moon Cell. Possibility number two is that Kiara threw Gilgamesh OUTSIDE of the Moon Cell's reality marble entirely into the real universe, and since the Moon Cell physically exist in our solar system, people use the standard billions of times faster than light calc, but think about it... Gilgamesh got thrown out of a beyond infinite multiversal in size, higher dimensional virtual reality marble into the real universe into the Horsehead Nebula, and came back into one of the deepest realms of the Moon Cell's reality marble in the blink of an eye; that requires way beyond MFTL speeds. Regardless, the fact he is stated to be on the same level as Moon Cell BB and kept pace with her proves he's faster than the concept of time itself.
So in the end, I'll lay down the quick stats summary of Fate/Extra's Gilgamesh
Base Gilgamesh post-training/regained his lost power
Power: Universal to possibly 5-D or 7-D (BB's universal attack was not just going to destroy a universe, but a universe in a higher dimension/the Far Side, while Gilgamesh didn't seem concerned or impressed).
Speed: Possibly infinite (exist in the Far Side and seemed ready to challenge base BB, who put herself in unlimited time).
Genesis Mystic Code Gilgamesh
Power: Possibly Infinite multiversal level to two infinite multiverses (counting the Infinite Chimeric Lunar Sea); most likely far far higher as he is 8-D since he scales to Moon Cell BB (depends on how you want to view higher dimensions in the Nasuverse).
Speed: Beyond the concept of time (is on the same level of existence as Moon Cell BB, who can view and handle the past, present, and future at once like a book).
Hax: Mind Manipulation (His Charisma is so high that weaker people are forced to obey), Homing Attacks (Gate of Babylon always homes in onto opponents), Invisibility (with Ring of Invisibility), Regeneration (All Servants can regenerate damage that are considered fatal to normal humans in mere minutes, Gilgamesh can also summon himself even if his body was destroyed, such as when he summoned himself from having his Caster body completely destroyed, and came back with his True Power activated), Immortality (With the Potion of Youth, he cannot age), Magic Negation (with various Noble Phantasms), Clairvoyance and Precognition (with Sha Naqba Imuru, which allows him to instantly discern great truths, such as the identity of another Servant and their Noble Phantasms, can see the possibilities of parallel worlds, predicting the future and knowing exactly what to do), Soul Manipulation (All Servants can consume souls to replenish their magical energy), Space-Time Manipulation (Ea can twist space-time itself, showing the "truth" of creation, also Gilgamesh himself can "tear through boundaries"), Supernatural Luck, Minor Fate Manipulation (Servants with B-rank Luck or higher can change their own fates to evade inevitable outcomes such as having their hearts destroyed by Gáe Bolg), Intangibility and Invisibility (Only in spirit form), Immunity to Modern Weapons (Servants are Divine Mysteries that cannot be harmed by modern weapons such as guns, knives, or bombs unless they are infused with a supernatural aspect such as magical energy or possess a certain amount of age), Resistance to Magic (Increased further by his armor, includes effects such as Petrification, Spatial Manipulation, and Mind Manipulation), Resistance to Spatial Manipulation and Time Manipulation (Is unaffected by the space-time dislocation created through the use of Enuma Elish and was unhindered by the collapse of Rider's Reality Marble), High Resistance to Mind Manipulation (Not even All the World's Evil can corrupt his ego, and was in fact completely ineffective, allowing him to fight back even when consumed and digested by Sakura), Conceptual Manipulation (Enuma Elish was originally made by the Gods themselves, which was then used to create worlds and nations, including their concepts), Durability Negation (with various Noble Phantasms), High Resistance to Matter Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Information Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation, Law Manipulation, Probability Manipulation, Sealing, Time Manipulation, Reality Warping, Causality Manipulation, Life Manipulation, Death Manipulation, Fate Manipulation, Probability Manipulation, Power Nullification, Existence Erasure, Illusion Creation and Time Paradox Immunity (After obtaining the power of the Root of the Beginning, which is his original power, BB, who is able to manipulate space-time, causality, probability, information, gravity, life, death, minds, senses, powers, souls, and other aspects of reality through her usage of Potnia Theron and her Authority, was unable to affect Gilgamesh due to being opposed by a power of equal potency)
Intelligence: Genius.Created to be the pinnacle of all humans, Gilgamesh is an exceptionally intelligent individual when he wants to be, easily seeing through lies and discerning any number of forms of magecraft with a glance, predicting the number of weapons Shirou would project at once and countering him with an equal number of weapons from his treasury, instantly seeing through Caster's faked death, and backing away from Saber after she formed a contract with Rin. In addition, Sha Naqba Imuru allows him to see all possible outcomes, allowing him to always make the correct move and discern the True Names and Noble Phantasms of his opponent if he wishes.
Stamina: Very High. Can stay in the world without a Master for a week before being incarnated, fight against Sakurawhile being broken down into magical energy, can survive having his arm cut off, being stabbed in the chest by Shirou, and then being shot in the head by Archer, dying only because he was absorbed into the singularity created by the Grail. Fought against Enkidu for several days straight, ultimately expending the entirety of the Gate of Babylon.
Powers, Techniques, and Equipment
Powers
Superhuman Physical Attributes: As a Servant, Gilgamesh is much more powerful than an ordinary human, and he doesn't require food, air, water, or any other human necessities to live, as all Servants can live simply on mana.
Flight: Possesses a Noble Phantasm that allows him to levitate off the ground and take flight faster than any modern magi.
Supernatural Luck: His luck is potent to be able to alter his own fate, such as when struck with causality-altering Gae Bolg, and he also uses this luck to easily collect as much wealth and treasure, meaning he will never run out of money.
Minor Mind Manipulation
Electricity Manipulation with Auto-Defensors
Energy Projection with various Noble Phantasms
Forcefield Creation
Homing Attacks
Ice Manipulation
Invisibility with Ring of Invisibility
Immortality: Gilgamesh cannot age should he drink the Potion of Youth.
Magic Negation with various Noble Phantasms
Clairvoyance and Precognition
Soul Manipulation
Intangibility and Invisibility: Gilgamesh, when in spirit form, can become intangible and invisible
Regeneration: All Servants can regenerate wounds that would be fatal to humans in mere minutes, and Gilgamesh can also summon himself again should his physical body be destroyed completely.
Space-Time Manipulation: Enuma Elish can destroy space-time itself, as it tears through the world, revealing the "void" that originated in the beginning of the universe itself. Gilgamesh can also resist this, as when seen in Extra CCC, space itself cracks it Ea spins, and Gilgamesh is unaffected by it. It is also possible for Gilgamesh to create a new world using Ea, though he usually doesn't use it this way. Even without using Ea or Enuma Elish however, Gilgamesh is perfectly capable of tearing through boundaries, such as when he suddenly appeared right next to Altera.
The Gate of Babylon contains all the treasures in the world, with only Divine Constructs escaping his possession. This is no hyperbole; it contains the basis for all things constructed by humans throughout human history, from the works of the Library of Alexandria, to board games, to airplanes and submarines. The only technology he lacks are things that would be created by humans with entirely new concepts, and the technology of extraterrestrial races. As the original hero, all Noble Phantasms are descended from their prototypes in his collection. If a Servant would appear with a Noble Phantasm that he does not own or have an equivalent of without proper reason (such as it being a Divine Construct), he would gain it retroactively. In terms of Noble Phantasms, only attributes and techniques such as God Hand and Divine Constructs such as Excalibur or Vasavi Shakti elude him.
Sha Naqba Imuru (He who Saw the Deep): The Omniscient Omnipotent Star: Gilgamesh's mentality and intelligence, sublimated into a Noble Phantasm. It is continuously active and does not need its true name revealed to use it, though Gilgamesh keeps it restricted most of the time. It grants him high-level Clairvoyance, allowing him to discern great truths with a glance, identifying Servants and their Noble Phantasm with ease. It does not just show him advanced predictions and possibilities, but allows him to look down over all the possibilities and discern the correct move to make. Even when he uses this ability to its fullest extent, his arrogance leads him to reject certain world lines as impossible, including one in which he was consumed by the mud of the Grail and broken down into magical energy.
Class Skills (Archer)
Independent Action: The ability to remain independent and exist in the world without the magical energy supplied by a Master, allowing the Servant to act autonomously and the Master to save their own magical energy for spells. Under normal circumstances, Gilgamesh's rank of A allows him to act without a Master except when it comes to the use of high-cost Noble Phantasms, and he can remain in the world for a week without a Master. After he was incarnated by the mud of the Grail, he needs no Master to act and use high-cost abilities. Through this, he remained materialized even after the Fourth Holy Grail War ended.
Magic Resistance: An ability that grants protection against magical effects. Unlike the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Gilgamesh's proficiency in this skill ranges from E to C-Rank depending on who summoned him, with E-Rank merely reducing the amount of damage he takes from magical attacks and C-Rank nullifying spells below two verses. It is, however, further enhanced by his armor, raising it above the magic resistance of even King Arthur, who can negate magecraft from the Age of Gods. He has many other possessions that would also allow him to negate magecraft. This ability also provides resistance against indirect magical attacks such as Petrification, Hypnosis, and Spatial Manipulation.
Class Skills (Caster)
Item Construction (False): A skill that works similarly to the regular Item Construction. While Gilgamesh is normally not a magus and thus shouldn't have this skill, due to the fact that his treasury contains the sum of human wisdom, he is able to retrieve virtually any tool he needs from it for as long as it is not among the sealed part of the treasury.
Territory Creation: A skill which quantifies one's ability to create a territory advantageous to them as a Magus. Gilgamesh A-Rank in this skill allows him to create a "Temple", a territory that is superior to the "Workshop" used by most Magi, putting this skill to use by erecting the walls of Uruk in such a way that they can withstand the attacks of the Tiamat-Gorgon for an extended period of time.
Personal Skills
Charisma: The natural talent to command an army, which increases the ability of allies during group battles. In Gilgamesh's case, it is no longer popularity but rather a kind of curse in itself due to his A+ Rank proficiency, causing normal humans to prostrate themselves at his feet in his mere presence. It can also be used as a form of subtle Mind Manipulation, getting people to do what he wants without much resistance.
Collector: A "talent" in collecting high quality goods, a sort of supernatural luck that draws rare items into Gilgamesh's hands. Gilgamesh is one who has collected all the Earth's treasures, grasping the very essence of human ingenuity itself.
Divinity: The measure of one's Divine blood, reflected in high ranks by the user becoming part Divine Spirit, though it decreases if the user dislikes the gods. It allows him to reduce "purge defense" in proportion to the rank of his Divinity, such as Saver's Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig and Achilles' Andreas Amarantos. Gilgamesh would normally have an A+ Rank in this skill due to being two-thirds divine, but his effective rank has dropped to B due to his distaste for the gods.
Golden Rule: Throughout history and mythology, individuals destined to amass vast fortunes and treasure are identified as possessing Golden Rule. Among these figures, Gilgamesh stands alone at the zenith of opulence, for he has at his disposal enough riches to purchase whatever he may need in any era of summoning, as evidenced by his A-Rank in this skill.
King's Return: A skill that represents the man Gilgamesh came to be following his failed journey for immortality, where he grew to be the king Uruk needed after finding his country to be in a declined state due to his neglect and turning it back around into a prosperous country in his remaining years.
Sovereign of Magical Wands: A skill that represents Gilgamesh's fighting style and use of magecraft while summoned as Caster, granting him a bonus to his magecraft attacks' power while denoting that he wields them with the extra care befitting that of a king and his treasures to preserve them and draw out their maximum potential.
Rosy-Cheeked Adonis: The disposition of Child Gil as a charming pretty boy that affects those of all genders. It can be resisted through willpower or negated entirely by Magic Resistance.
Enuma Elish: The Star of Creation that Split Heaven and Earth: Ea's function as a Noble Phantasm, its maximum output as an EX-ranked Anti-World Noble Phantasm. The separate sections of Ea rotates faster and faster, as the air around it gets twisted and compressed until it exceeds the laws of physics, creating a quasi-fault in time as it starts cutting space. Once fired, it creates a dislocation of space-time, the resulting Void that emerges from the ruptured space, rends space even further to destroy anything in Gilgamesh's sight at once, ripping apart the World to show the dawn of creation and the "Truth". It is similar in this way to Slash Emperor, a Knight Arm capable of destroying Type Jupiter in a single blow. As an Anti-World Noble Phantasm, it is well-suited to the destruction of Reality Marbles, in a manner that Gilgamesh describes as revealing the reality behind a dream. When used at his full power in Fate/strange fake, the dislocation in space-time and the Void that emerged from it was going to destroy the planet itself. In Fate/Extra CCC, he plants it in the ground, allowing it to charge, spinning rapidly and destroying the ground around him. It creates a great space-time dislocation, which Gilgamesh crushes his opponent with. However, most of the time, Gilgamesh does not use its full power, as it is hardly necessary; even a casual Enuma Elish easily overpowered Excalibur and gravely wounded Saber, rendering her helpless.
Equipment
Treasury within the Gate of Babylon: Gilgamesh has collected all the treasures in the Earth before his death and thus has a prototype for virtually all Noble Phantasms ever used by any Heroic Spirit; with Divine Contructs being the only items that elude him (Except a few of his own Divine Constructs, like EA). Notable items in his treasury include:
Anti-Spirit Incense: An ash-like powder that attracts walking corpses like those summoned by Angra Mainyu.
Auto-Defensors: A series of golden discs that float around Gilgamesh and can defend an area as large as a single floor building. They defend Gilgamesh from virtually any projectile by shooting them down with innumerable lightning bolts as they approach. It provides sufficient protection against even a storm of surprise attacks from Enkidu. However, a sufficiently fast projectile, such as True Archer's arrows, would be able to bypass them completely.
Caladbolg: The prized spiral sword wielded by Fergus mac Róich, which can generate powerful beams of iridescent light that can cleanly slice through hills and devastate a fortress if planted in the ground.
Command Spells: In Fate/Extra CCC, Gilgamesh has collected several Command Spells that would normally be used to bind Servants like himself and can provide them to a new Master if he wishes to establish a contract with them.
Curtain of Night: A magical item mentioned in passing as a means of counteracting Gawain's Numeral of the Saint, possibly by blotting out the sun.
Dáinsleif: A demonic sword from the Nibelungen. It is a cursed Noble Phantasm that contains a powerful curse of "reparation" to be used on its target, and it also drives the fate of its possessor to ruin and causes them to surely die. Within the Skáldskaparmál, it is possessed by the Danish king, Hogni. He became locked in eternal combat with the king of Serkland, Hedinn, due to the sword's curse, which requires it to always kill a man once drawn and does not allow it to return to its sheath until such is accomplished.
Durandal: The Peerless Sword: Originally the sword of Hector, he converted it into the spear Durindana, and after it later lost its features as a spear, it became Durandal. It was then later said to have been granted to King Charlemagne of the Frankish Empire by an angel and awarded to Roland. It is noted as the symbol of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass told of in the Song of Roland. Although Roland attempted to break the sword when he was on the verge of death to keep it from falling into the hands of the enemy, it proved to be impossible, but it was later prominently featured in Charlemagne's legends, acting as a symbol of Roland's bravery. The sword is a splendidly forged "symbol of power" much like King Arthur's Caliburn, and it is said to hold three miracles within it. It will not lose its sharpness even should its user's magical energy be depleted, proving indestructible even when Roland tried to destroy it.
Gáe Bolg: The spear of Cú Chulainn, a massive two-meter long weapon with the ability to always strike the opponent's heart. However, Gilgamesh lacks the knowledge required to activate this ability, but can still fire it as a powerful projectile that inflicts wounds that cannot be healed with natural regeneration.
Golden Axe: A weapon seen in Fate/Extra CCC, it is one of the few weapons Gilgamesh wields personally, cleaving targets along with the space around them with a spinning chop.
Golden Drill: Another weapon seen in Fate/Extra CCC and one that Gilgamesh wields personally, penetrating and tearing apart targets with its drilling motions along with cannon and machine gun fire.
Gram: The "Sword of the Sun" wielded by Sigurd in the Völsunga saga of Norse mythology. It is said to be the "strongest demonic sword" that equals the "strongest holy sword", so it possesses the special characteristic of "dragon slayer". The weapon is said to appear in the Der Ring des Nibelungen under the name change of Balmung.
Houtengeki: A halberd passed down in Chinese culture and the only type of halberd out of many to attain the rank of Noble Phantasm, probably due to the use of Houtengageki by a famous military commander. It is a polearm with many different uses such as thrusting, swiping, pulling, parrying, and various others. Chinese halberds have a spearhead at the tip of the shaft and a blade attached to the side, and the distinguishing characteristic of a Houtengeki is a unique crescent-moon shaped side blade, the “Moon Fang.” Weapons with only one of these blades are called Seiryugeki. It is said that a great deal of skill is needed to handle this weapon, though its versatility and ease of use once mastering it allowed for it to be used to serve the appropriate role for any type of combatant.
Immortal Slaying Scythe, Harpe: The Snake Hunter's Scythe, a divine sword from Greek mythology used by Perseus to kill the Gorgon Medusa and one of the many weapons inside Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon. It is described as a monster-killing holy sword with a special shape similar to a scythe, having the cutting edge on the inside of the blade, though it isn't actually an outstanding sword by itself. Its true strength is its trait of Refraction of Longevity, which is a divine ability that nullifies the "undying attribute" of immortals and inflicts wounds that cannot be restored by any methods other than healing in accordance to the natural laws.
Merodach: The Original Sin: The prototype of both Gram and Caliburn, and due to its greater mystery it outstrips them in every aspect. It is named after Marduk, the patron god of Babylon. Its strength as a Noble Phantasm is incomparable, easily shattering Caliburn without it being able to put up any resistance. It utilizes the same power as Caliburn, a "light that can burn away everything it touches", that could kill Berserker with one slash.
Mountain-Piercing Spears: A series of unnamed spears that can easily pierce mountains.
Potion of Youth: A Noble Phantasm that returns the user to their youth, contained within a small translucent bottle. It is the herb of immortality, that which Gilgamesh sought and found after the death of his closest friend, Enkidu. While he lost it and came to terms with his own mortality, he still sought and found it again for the sake of having it in his treasury. When he drinks it, it returns him to his child self, altering his personality and appearance. He only uses it to blend into the world and tolerate modern society, such as within the ten-year gap between the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars, or when he sees something as a childish game that isn't worthy of his full strength. He can forcibly reverse the effects whenever he pleases to return to his older self.
Rho Aias: The Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens: The shield used by Aias the Great to stop Durindana, the spear of the Trojan hero Hector, tearing through six of its seven layers of cowhide but stopping at the final layer. As a result, it has been sublimed as a virtually absolute Conceptual Defense against thrown and launched weaponry.
Ship of Light: A vehicle that allows Gilgamesh to travel faster than the speed of light. It allows him to instantly return after he is sent to the edge of the Moon Cell's Imaginary Space hundreds of light-years away.
Vajra: A weapon appearing in the Vedic mythology of ancient India. It was a weapon crafted by Tvastar, the maker of divine instruments, using the bones of the sage, Dadhichi. It became symbol of divinity of Indra, the god of lightning, and the indestructible diamond pounder weapon carried by the gods of Buddhism. It was held in one interpretation to be a manifestation of Indra’s lightning, which is supported by its deceptions as a golden projectile and its appearance unbefitting of a conventional weapon. Vajra was initially known by its proper name of Vjaya when Indra was first introduced to India as a phenomenon that spread from the Aryans. Along with Indra, whose name changed to Taishakuten, his divine symbol also had its name changed and became known as Vajra after the age of Buddhism as India's main religion began. It is a simple weapon that can only be shot only once for a fixed B+ rank damage separate from the user's magical energy supply.
Unnamed Anti-Magic Sickle: An enormous sickle that drains magical energy and can cut through magical implements such as Saber's armor or Berserker's Knight of Owner.
Unnamed Dimensional Refraction Artifact: An artifact that defends against attacks that use the Multi-Dimensional Refraction Phenomenon, allowing Gilgamesh to block attacks that come from parallel universes such as Sasaki Kojirou's Tsubame Gaeshi.
Unnamed Dragon-Slaying Longsword: Gilgamesh also possesses a longsword that slayed an oriental dragon in the past.
Unnamed Freezing Sword: Gilgamesh possesses a sword that would freeze any target struck as well as the area around them, covering the target in ice even if they managed to dodge the initial strike for as long as they're within relative proximity of the blade.
Unnamed Invisibility Ring: A ring that wards off the attention of normal people, preventing them from noticing him. It doesn't work on magi or other magical beings.
Unnamed Invisible Sword: A sword that is described as "invisible like Saber's" that Gilgamesh fires as a projectile.
Unnamed Lens: A golden ring with a single, warped lens that allowed Gilgamesh to view True Archer from twenty kilometers away.
Unnamed Levitation Treasure: An unnamed treasure that allows Gilgamesh to levitate in mid-air.
Unnamed Lightning Noble Phantasm: Gilgamesh is able to launch "lightning without form" as a projectile without the use of his Vajra Noble Phantasm.
Unnamed Magical Staves: Various magical rods and staves that can use magecraft from the Age of Gods. Those seen have generated pillars of flame, concentrated lightning storms, and light beams that home in on their targets.
Unnamed Mirror Shield: A shield that effortlessly repels powerful magecraft.
Unnamed Spellbook: An unnamed tome that allows Gilgamesh to utilize powerful Primeval Runes from the Age of Gods.
Unnamed Triple-Edged Sword: A sword with three edges that can arc behind an opponent to attack their back if left unguarded.
Various Unnamed Homing Weapons: Gilgamesh possesses multiple weapons, such as scythes, scimitars, and axes that are able to constantly follow their chosen target even if they dodge in a vehicle as maneuverable as a modern fighter jet empowered by Lancelot's Knight of Owner.
Various Unnamed Shields: Gilgamesh possess multiple shields, that he normally deploys in order to halt attacks, including those that can overpower barrages from the Gate of Babylon.
Vimana: Throne of the Heaven-soaring King: A flying contraption passed from Babylon and India that appeared within the Ramayana and Mahabharata, and one of the many Noble Phantasms within the Gate of Babylon. It far surpasses any jet from the modern era, fueled by crystals that burn mercury as fuel. Even when Gilgamesh was just fooling around, he easily outpaced Lancelot in a fighter jet elevated to a Noble Phantasm by Knight of Owner. He uses the Gate of Babylon freely while piloting Vimana. It has a wide array of functions including ancient machines guns, ancient nuclear warheads, stealth functions, communication interception technology, laser cannons, and biological weapons, among others.
Enkidu: Chains of Heaven: Gilgamesh's most trusted Noble Phantasm, even more so than Ea. It is a set of chains named after his closest friend, and made to bind even the gods themselves. It is one of the few Anti-Divine Noble Phantasms, growing stronger when used against those with divine blood, such as Heracles, becoming more effective the higher their rank of Divinity. Against a non-divine Servant, it is nothing but a strong chain. Those that are caught in it cannot escape even through the use of a Command Seal, though Berserker, in his last moments, in a desperate show of his own strength, is able to shatter the chain and escape. Gilgamesh can summon Enkidu from anywhere he can reach with the Gate of Babylon, and draws out its full length when serious to use it in conjunction with Ea.
Sword of Rupture, Ea: The "Sword that ripped apart the world", the ultimate Noble Phantasm of the Gate of Babylon and Gilgamesh's most powerful weapon. Unlike the countless other Noble Phantasm within his treasury, which were passed onto countless wielders after his death and took on many forms, it is a sword only he possesses. It is a Divine Construct that predates the concept of a sword, bearing a truly unusual design, a cylindrical "blade" with a dull tip and independently rotating segments. The sword is crowned with the name of the Great God Ea, who was said to have cultivated the primordial world by separating, crushing and moving the world's surface, he is even said to have created the world itself. As his most powerful treasure, Gilgamesh is reluctant to use it against "lowlifes", willingly drawing it only to face those he believes are worthy, such as Alexander the Great and King Arthur.
Sword of the End, Enki: Gilgamesh's ultimate weapon, a pair of golden blades stored in Bab-ilu alongside all his other weapons, though he often wears them on his back for easy access. He uses them as his primary melee weapon in conjunction with Bab-ilu's projectiles, and by turning their hilts ninety degrees, he can use them as Tonfa knives. Unlike his normal self's Ea, Enki has specific conditions for its release and uses most of his magical energy. It must be deployed for seven days to produce the water needed to summon floods, and on the seventh day, it calls forth the Surge of Utnapishtim, the original tsunami that washed away the world and gave birth to the legends of primordial floods.
With the release of its true name, Enki takes on its true form as a longbow by combining the twin blades, and he uses it to fire a "tracer round" at his opponent (or at the ground) for the true Enki. The actual Enki is deployed in the atmosphere, becoming a glowing spear that falls to the Earth as a Star of Destruction. Once it reaches its destination, it disperses into a magic circle, cleaving open space to summon the Surge of Utnapishtim, a tsunami that quickly and easily floods his surroundings, growing greater and greater over time to flood the entire world.
Genesis Mythology Mystic Code: Used in Fate/Extra CCC, this enables Gilgamesh to access his power when he was alive, restoring his original power back when he ruled Uruk. This power boost makes him highly resistant to the effects of the BB's Authority and her Potnia Theron, which can warp reality and many of its aspects, such as concepts, souls, causality, time, space, and others. This also grants him an immense boost to all of his stats, as he was able to defeat the Moon Cell itself with 90% of his treasury.

Power scaling
Before I powerscale CCC Gilgamesh I should tell what powerscaling is. Powerscaling is the method of determining a character's power through comparing them to other characters in their series.
The logic behind powerscaling works much that of transitive relation. In which if A > B and B > C, then A > C.
So if Character A is stronger than Character B, and Character B is stronger than Character C, then logically, Character A is also stronger than Character C.
Another way powerscaling works is through attributing feats a character performs to other characters who are equal or greater than that character as well.
So if Character A is capable of lifting a car. And Character B has proven to be stronger than Character A, then it is safe to say that Character B can also lift a car.
Although a misuse or over extrapolation of powerscaling can lead to grossly inaccurate ratings, a logical and moderate use can be both helpful and essential to properly determining one's power.
As without powerscaling and going purely by feats, many characters would end up being "Unknown" in stats or be lowballed to absurd extents. Such as Whis being weaker than Piccolo going by pure feats. Monster Garou being weaker than Genos. Or characters who have consistently been said and shown to have power on par with Planet level beings be rated as Wall level.
It is possible for a character who is depicted as vastly superior to another in a statistic to be placed in a tier above the other, given that the other character is close to the the next tier. However, this ultimately needs to be decided through case-by-case analysis.
While as a whole the legitimacy of powerscaling within a franchise should be analyzed on a case by case basis, the following is a general guide to what would and would not be accepted to scale off of in most situations.
Gilgamesh's Powerscaling
Gilgamesh is repeatedly stated to be most powerful Heroic Spirit, with his arrogance being his downfall. He should scale to virtually every other Servant due to this fact. He also scales to other top tier Servants such as Lancer Artoria and Ramesses II, who can clash with country-busting attacks, and Karna, who also has an Anti-Country Noble Phantasm.
As for his Full Power form, he should comfortably scale to the likes BB and the Moon Cell itself due to being able to oneshot BB herself.
Extra Facts
The other Servants such as Nero (Saber), Shirou (Archer), and Tamamo (Caster) reach beyond multiversal levels of power once they obtain their Mystic Code as well, as they are on the level of Moon Cell BB (although far inferior to Gilgamesh due to his many powerful abilities and Noble Phantasms).
Fate/Extra's version of Arcueid Brunestud from Tsukihime is implied to be able to defeat (or at least put up fight) against Moon Cell BB in base/no Archetype Earth. "Well even with that being said, if Berserker regained her sanity, she would easily be considered a cheat-tier Servant. Her power, “The stage is the Moon, so all targets have their power reduced to a sixth of their usual.” would be extremely useful against other similar cheat-tier Servants.
It’s a conceptual numerical alteration, so it is unavoidable when on the Moon. Even the Moon Cell transformed version of BB would be limited by it." She is being compared to cheat-tier Servants in base, which is what both Moon Cell BB and Gilgamesh are referred to as. If Arcueid entered her Archetype Earth state, she should be able to easily dispatch Genesis Mystic Code Gilgamesh and Moon Cell BB
CCC Gilgamesh power was stated to be immeasurable.
What do we call values that measure beyond infinity? Immeasurable.
Yeah everything all possibilities the concept of life and death everything they can or can't possibly exist.
:
Though it is supposed, an infinity of futures are recorded here in the moon.
Gilgamesh completely stomps all of fiction, let's go over what he has:
- Origin Mystic Code which allows him to raise his stats to whatever he wants at will.
- Gate of Babylon which allows him to access an unlimited amounts of noble phantasms/weapons with conceptual abilities at once and simultaneously fire them at you at speeds surpassing the very concept of time. This alone allows him to hit infinitely above his own weight class. Gilgamesh literally has a noble phantasm that makes dying impossible for him.
-His transcendental nature that allows him to freely move between higher and lower realities at will which is infinitely better than being able to transcend dimensions. Think of Steve from Minecraft walking into your living room, out of your computer, and flying off to Alpha Centari and that's basically what Gilgamesh can do but on a infinite scale.
-Enkidu's chains absolutely binds any target with a trace of divinity, no matter their own strength. They cannot escape the chains with any ability and that includes reality warping and conceptual manipulation, making them effectively stuck until the chains either disappear or no longer receive mana from a source.
- Ea erases targets from reality upon contact on a fundamental level, surpassing aristocratic and platonic concepts. It's described as being an "anti-purge attack that cannot be defend against at all." It is basically the act of genesis (the creation of all-things) placed in a stick, making its true capabilities unlimited in terms of destruction and creation.
-Unsuppressed Shaq Naqba Imuru makes him omniscient, the embodiment of his mentality "spread across all corners of the world as if the brilliance of the stars, seeing through all creation."
Gilgamesh stomps these losers with a spin from Ea which has omniversal attack potency.
"Performing the miracle of genesis, something that reveals creation - the beginning of everything, the attack opens an abyss capable of crushing all of creation, and the center of the storm is not calm, but rather a hole to hell itself that returns all that enters its realm to the nothingness from which it originated. The wind pressure creates a vacuum that takes all things with form, the land, the atmosphere, and the sky, into the whirling void. The tumult of genesis takes everything that was nothing more than chaos which could not form any meaning, and creates a new truth that divides and distinguishes Heaven, Sea, and Earth. Within the darkness where everything is returned to nothingness, only Ea is left to shine with brilliance like a Star of Creation amidst the destruction, the first thing illuminating the new world." Type Moon Wiki
Genesis is the creation of everything (Timelines, existence itself) so the fact it can perform this miracle, suggests it has omniversal attack potency.
Sorry looks like CCC Gilgamesh just stole the win again.
CCC Gilgamesh's Sha Nagba Imuru isn't called the The Omniscient Omnipotent Star for nothing.
>omnipotent >item Choose one
CCC Gilgamesh was directly stated to be able to achieve a state omnipotent!
Yet is a Mid tier who cant solo their own verses
He onshoted BB and Kiara both were stated to be omnipotent.
>Omnipotent >Equal to the sun One.and only one
Here straight from the expert!
How does he not blitz?!
The same expert that No fate fan believes I guess
He's also shown Performing the miracle of genesis, something that reveals creation - the beginning of everything, the attack opens an abyss capable of crushing anything. The center of the storm is not calm, but rather a hole to hell itself that returns all that enters its realm to the nothingness from which it originated. The wind pressure creates a vacuum that takes all things with form, the land, the atmosphere, and the sky, into the whirling void. The tumult of genesis takes everything that was nothing more than chaos, which could not form any meaning, and creates a new truth that divides and distinguishes Heaven, Sea, and Earth. Within the darkness where everything is returned to nothingness, only Ea is left to shine with brilliance like a Star of Creation amidst the destruction, the first thing illuminating the new world. The ability takes the world as a whole within the Reality Marble Ionioi Hetairoi, and cracks shatter and collapse it into the abyss like the ending of an hourglass. The entire world inside the Reality Marble would have been destroyed had the field not collapsed due to a lack of energy.
Not rather Powerful unless quantified ehat level of feat this is
Source: https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Ea
Gilgamesh overpowered and overrode the very device that created him and originally had authority over him, and one shotted beings fused with said device. He also contains every physical Noble Phantasm and every item ever made in human history:
Gilgamesh is renowned for having collected all the treasures in the world in his lifetime, amassing a perfect treasury that lacked nothing.[6] As there was nothing he was unable to collect, Gilgamesh was a collector of treasures, whose favorite phrase, "I collected all the treasures of the earth", is not a metaphor.[6][19] As anything can be found within the vault, the amount of wealth within exceeds even his own knowledge; it is said that its inventory of treasure continues to increase even now.[4][30][31] He collected and stored away samples of all the technology that was developed during his age. The desires of ancient humans were similar to those of the current age, so their technology, bolstered by the powerful magic of his era, was not inferior to that of the modern age. The "Instruments of Hope" that people dreamed of were all realized, and because every single case was requisitioned by the King's hand, his collection is even furnished with airplanes and submarines.[19]
It also contains all of the original bases for all intellectual properties produced by mankind that originated in his kingdom, making board games and the works of the Library of Alexandria no more than imitations.[32] It is still sought out by some magi, believed to hold all things in the world and enshrine every possible magical artifact.[28] That within are not merely riches, but his collection is the very "origin of human wisdom."[19] It is the proof of human wisdom and human ingenuity.[4] That which is missing from the vault would be items produced with completely new concepts by a new human race and items produced with extraterrestrial intelligence and technology.[19] He is the original hero, so all heroes of various myths are derived from his legend. It may be a paradox, but he, as the original, must possess that which can be handed down as the Noble Phantasms possessed by those later heroes for they are derived from him for that very reason.[19] These weapons are technically nameless, the original Prototypes of the Noble Phantasms (すべての宝具の原型, Subete no Hōgu no Genkei?) and the common points before they became objects of faith that act as the foundations for their legends.
It says that he does not know of all the items in his Gate of Babylon, and that he is incapable of using the specific functions on Noble Phantasms, but this can be changed with Gilgamesh's ability called SNI, which practically grants him nigh to full omniscience:
Sha Naqba Imuru (He who Saw the Deep): The Omniscient Omnipotent Star (全知なるや全能の星シャ・ナクパ・イルム, Zenchinaru ya Zen'nō no HoshiSha Nakupa Irumu?) is the mentality of Gilgamesh sublimated into a Noble Phantasm, said to have "spread across all corners of the world as if the brilliance of the stars, seeing through all creation." It is a "continuously active-type Noble Phantasm" that does not require its name to be invoked, but it is assumed that Gilgamesh keeps it intentionally restrained. Possessing tremendous efficiency, it can discern heavily concealed truths with a single glance, from that of the opponent's True Name and Noble Phantasms to possibly even seeing through a piece of the truth of the demise of human history in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.[1] Upon releasing its True Name, it will work as a form of "instruction" for him to guide others with the most optimal tactics, simultaneously increasing the attack power and defense power of his whole team near his position.[2]
Gilgamesh is a clairvoyance user with a "sense of 'sight' several levels above the ordinary."[3][4] When facing him in a game like chess, he claims that even someone making advanced predictions and reading the flow of the game will have already lost at that moment. He does not read the future of the chess board, but instead gazes down upon and oversees it, allowing the correct move to always be visible to him. Even in something like a card game, the very minimum requirement to play against him on equal terms would be to draw the precise hand required.[3] He can also see the possibilities of various parallel worlds should he so chooses, but, as a Heroic Spirit, the Throne of Heroes normally adjusts his memories and knowledge to the world in which he is summoned in to keep him from being confused by multiple sets of memories. Even with this ability, his personality would cause him to reject certain world lines as nonsense, such as using clairvoyance to see something like a possibility of a world where he is swallowed by the mud of the grail.[4]

Now while Gilgamesh's arrogance sometimes makes him ignore SNI, you sre unfortunately using CCC Gilgamesh, who is much more serious. With this ability, he can see every correct move to make, how to use every specific Noble Phantasm in his Gate (as evident with him instantly finding out how everyone else's Noble Phantasms work instantly), and should be able to know everything that is in his Gate. As we see Gilgamesh pull out highly specific weapons from his Gate that fit the situation perfectly, which is clearly due to SNI:
Gilgamesh can also go from being a lackluster swordsman to the best in the entire Nasuverse with SNI; as he was capable of trading blows with Moon Cell BB (a nigh-omniscient advanced Moon Cell AI that has the memory and data of all the best warriors in Gaia's history) in close quarters combat:
As for what Gilgamesh can pull from the Gate to kill Reinhard with... He has weapons that can instill the concept of death into something:
Black Barrel (ブラックバレル, Burakku Bareru?), also called Longinus, which he excavated from the sealed region of Atlasia. It is gun that is a "Conceptual Weapon of natural life-span", capable of imposing the notion of limited life-span into the body of near-immortal creatures.
Barrel Replica (バレルレプリカ, Bareru Repurika?), a Mystic Code that is a replica of the Black Barrel, with the apperance of a CZ 75.[2] Described to look like a CZ 75 handgun, it is a Conceptual Weapon of "natural lifespan" that puts out a toxin, attack power, in proportion to that life form's natural life span
"Near-immortal" seems to be a wiki mistranslation, as we see the Barrel Replica kill an immortal being and beings without the concept of death (considered to be above immortality).
Ultimate Ones (原初の一アルテミット・ワン, Gensho no IchiArutemitto Wan?, lit. Primordial One (Ultimate One)), also known as Aristoteles (アリストテレス, Arisutoteresu?) by the humans of the Land of Steel or Types (タイプ, Taipu?), are the eight ultimate lifeforms from other heavenly bodies, embodying the will of the planets themselves.
Ultimate Ones are the ultimate beings from other planets, differing significantly from both creatures of Earth and each other biologically and in appearance. They do not have the same sense of self as humans, nor do they have the concepts of damage or death.
Fragarach: Gouging Sword of the War God (斬り抉る戦神の剣フラガラック, Kiri Eguru Senjin no KenFuragarakku?), also called Answerer: That Which Comes Later Cuts First (後より出でて先に断つものアンサラー, Ato yori Idete Saki ni Tatsu monoAnsarā?) and The Retaliator, is a Noble Phantasm and Mystic Code with the ultimate form of counterattack. It is the "Sword of Retrograde" and an indefeasible weapon of the gods, divinely protected by some malicious will, that works by using a conceptual curse to warp destiny and a divine trick that uses time as its blade. It warps causality to always strike the opponent in the heart with a needle thin concentrated blast right before they unleash their ultimate attack. The condition for its use is that the opponent must use their strongest attack, and Fragarach must be used directly after the enemy's strike. It would normally be that Fragarach would kill the enemy, and the opponent's attack would also simultaneously destroy Bazett.
Despite being released afterwards and no matter how fast the opposing attack is cast, Fragarach always strikes first by changing the flow of time to rewrite events so that it makes its own strike against the enemy before the opposing move was ever made in the course of the world. Rather than just rewriting events to gouge out the heart of the enemy, it is severing the fate of the combatants, reversing and changing the flow of destiny of both the user and the enemy simultaneously killing each other with their attacks. The attack of the enemy, returned to a point where it "couldn't happen" due to the user being struck down by Fragarach, is wiped out by the laws of the world and the absolute system of time. No matter the power or speed of the ability, it is impossible to use if the enemy is defeated and has all of their later actions voided before they even have a chance to attack. It is an ability using one's life as bait to counter a one-turn-kill to win the battle that both kills the enemy and nullifies their attack, creating a perfect balance between offensive and defensive capabilities.
Gilgamesh can also return the favor in kind with his own spear, Gae Bolg:
As for what Gilgamesh can pull from the Gate to kill Reinhard with... He has weapons that can instill the concept of death into something:
Black Barrel (ブラックバレル, Burakku Bareru?), also called Longinus, which he excavated from the sealed region of Atlasia. It is gun that is a "Conceptual Weapon of natural life-span", capable of imposing the notion of limited life-span into the body of near-immortal creatures.
Barrel Replica (バレルレプリカ, Bareru Repurika?), a Mystic Code that is a replica of the Black Barrel, with the apperance of a CZ 75.[2] Described to look like a CZ 75 handgun, it is a Conceptual Weapon of "natural lifespan" that puts out a toxin, attack power, in proportion to that life form's natural life span
"Near-immortal" seems to be a wiki mistranslation, as we see the Barrel Replica kill an immortal being and beings without the concept of death (considered to be above immortality).
Ultimate Ones (原初の一アルテミット・ワン, Gensho no IchiArutemitto Wan?, lit. Primordial One (Ultimate One)), also known as Aristoteles (アリストテレス, Arisutoteresu?) by the humans of the Land of Steel or Types (タイプ, Taipu?), are the eight ultimate lifeforms from other heavenly bodies, embodying the will of the planets themselves.
Ultimate Ones are the ultimate beings from other planets, differing significantly from both creatures of Earth and each other biologically and in appearance. They do not have the same sense of self as humans, nor do they have the concepts of damage or death.
Fragarach: Gouging Sword of the War God (斬り抉る戦神の剣フラガラック, Kiri Eguru Senjin no KenFuragarakku?), also called Answerer: That Which Comes Later Cuts First (後より出でて先に断つものアンサラー, Ato yori Idete Saki ni Tatsu monoAnsarā?) and The Retaliator, is a Noble Phantasm and Mystic Code with the ultimate form of counterattack. It is the "Sword of Retrograde" and an indefeasible weapon of the gods, divinely protected by some malicious will, that works by using a conceptual curse to warp destiny and a divine trick that uses time as its blade. It warps causality to always strike the opponent in the heart with a needle thin concentrated blast right before they unleash their ultimate attack. The condition for its use is that the opponent must use their strongest attack, and Fragarach must be used directly after the enemy's strike. It would normally be that Fragarach would kill the enemy, and the opponent's attack would also simultaneously destroy Bazett.
Despite being released afterwards and no matter how fast the opposing attack is cast, Fragarach always strikes first by changing the flow of time to rewrite events so that it makes its own strike against the enemy before the opposing move was ever made in the course of the world. Rather than just rewriting events to gouge out the heart of the enemy, it is severing the fate of the combatants, reversing and changing the flow of destiny of both the user and the enemy simultaneously killing each other with their attacks. The attack of the enemy, returned to a point where it "couldn't happen" due to the user being struck down by Fragarach, is wiped out by the laws of the world and the absolute system of time. No matter the power or speed of the ability, it is impossible to use if the enemy is defeated and has all of their later actions voided before they even have a chance to attack. It is an ability using one's life as bait to counter a one-turn-kill to win the battle that both kills the enemy and nullifies their attack, creating a perfect balance between offensive and defensive capabilities.

Gilgamesh can also return the favor in kind with his own spear, Gae Bolg:
Gáe Bolg: Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death (刺し穿つ死棘の槍ゲイ・ボルク, Sashi Ugatsu Shitoge no YariGei Boruku?, also translated as Spear of Impaling Barbed Death) is an attack focused on a single target, created by Lancer to suit his own style, that strikes a fatal blow that always pierces the opponent's heart and ruins their body from within with its thousand iron thorns. It literally freezes the mana in the air, and it can easily be perceived as a sure-kill technique by all those around simply from being charged with magical energy. Once Gáe Bolg's name has been called, the cursed spear reverses the nature of causality, the meaning of "cause and effect" in the order of things, to make it so the cause of the "lance being thrust" comes from the effect of the "opponent's heart being pierced" by it. It determines the opponent's fate simply through its use, an always fatal move that pierces the heart with one thrust. It is also possible for him to activate it without actively striking the heart.[6] It is an attack on destiny itself, and while not a surprising fact due to its wielder's demi-god heritage, it is a top-notch power even with its seeming limitations in power due to being a step away from the Authority of the Gods.[7]
The actual action of the thrust is merely a formality, as the lance has already pierced the opponent's heart before the attack has even started. The "result" of "the heart of the opponent has been pierced" is created earlier than it is thrust, while the "cause" that "the lance has pierced through the heart" is generated later. Aside from great luck, it is a technique that determines "if it is released, the opponent is dead."
Gilgamesh can also bind Reinhard with Enkidu, The Chains of Heaven, which increases the strength of the chains based on the opponents divinity, and scales its strength to their divinity

Gilgamesh can also bind Reinhard with Enkidu, The Chains of Heaven, which increases the strength of the chains based on the opponents divinity, and scales its strength to their divinity:
Enkidu: Chains of Heaven (天の鎖エルキドゥ, Ten no KusariErukidu?) is the Noble Phantasm most trusted by Gilgamesh, even more so than Ea, and the "greatest secret" stored in the Gate of Babylon. It is a chain named after his closest friend, made to bind the gods so they cannot escape, making it one of the few Anti-Divine weapons that holds the concept of "reigning over the gods." The strength and durability of the chain grows stronger with the target having higher Divinity, but is no more than a tough chain to a target without Divinity like Saber, Assassin, or Archer. When used against a regular human like Shirou Emiya, he feels he has no chance of prying it off of him. Divine targets are completely held in place, allowing him to bind the "Bull of Heaven" that brought seven years of famine in Uruk. It does have some sort of limit, as even he is able to tell that the chain is not enough to completely bind the demi-god Heracles strengthened by Mad Enhancement.
It should be noted that Heracles only broke the chains because he has an ability to adapt to anything.
Gilgamesh can also fire all of the Noble Phantasms in his Gate like a rain of bullets, each with their own special ability:
While it is possible to block many of the strikes, to do so without knowing the abilities of the weapons can be seen as suicidal.[8] He will generally fight at long range while shooting projectiles from behind him directly at the opponent, but he can also freely move with the portals also moving with him.[12] He can freely deploy the portals mid-air while piloting Vimana as well.[20] When fighting at extremely close range, he shows the ability to loose weapons from above, below, and to the side of the opponent.[21] He can also summon weapons completely around the target for a full 360 degree barrage that should generally leave not even a single trace of flesh from the opponent.[16] When closed upon by a target, or simply to play with the opponent, he can freely draw weapons into his hands for melee combat.[6][22] The ability to handle them depends upon the user's capability.[3] Gilgamesh makes use of the many unknown abilities of the weapons, and constantly switches them to keep his opponent off-guard.[6]
So Reinhard will also have to deal with countless of weapons being shot at him, with each weapon carrying some sort of effect/ability/hax. All of this, but with a full power multiversal Gilgamesh from the Extraverse timelines, who has speed that can match omnipresence. lmao
Since Gilgamesh literally has every item from Earth (which makes up 99.9% of the Nasuverse's known items), it is borderline impossible and pointless to list them all here. I only listed the ones I think will let him win easily. Gilgamesh is honestly better off being pitted against Umineko due to his hax.
Oh, and Enuma Elish isn't even remotely needed here; thus I did not mention it.
Tagging acquaintances who may want to argue for Rein, or who may just be interested to see this:
Biography
Gilgamesh, the great half-god, half-human king born from the union between the King of Uruk, Lugalbanda, and goddess Rimat-Ninsun. He ruled the Sumerian city-state of Uruk, the capital city of ancient Mesopotamia in the B.C. era. He was an ultimate, transcendent being so divine as to be two-thirds god and one-third human, and no others in the world could match him. He was a despot possessing high divinity who believed he was invincible. He is not merely a legend, and is said to have actually existed and ruled during the Sumer Dynasty five thousand years ago. He was the King of Heroes (英雄王, Eiyū-Ō?) who possessed all things in the world, whose tale is recorded in mankind's oldest epic poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh which portrays Gilgamesh as a hero, destined to be king and achieve great feats, who is driven to meet his destiny, facing challenges together with his best friend Enkidu.
His title, King of Heroes, is not meant to call him a king who is a hero, but instead implies that he is the king over all heroes. He is mankind's oldest hero, the origin of all myths and model on which heroes are based, so his story is copied within the mythologies of all the countries of the world. The heroes of various myths are derived from his legend, so his Gate of Babylon possesses all of their Noble Phantasms. Though there are numerous kings with titles such as the King of Knights or the King of Conquerors, he is the only one in all of heaven and earth crowned with the title of "King of All Heroes."
In the world of Fate/Extra, Gilgamesh is encountered by Hakuno Kishanami, a master in the Moon Cell Holy Grail War whom he decides to make a Servant contract with. Normally, it should be impossible for anyone to contact Gilgamesh in the Moon Cell, as he exist in the higher dimensional Far Side/Garden of The Fallen, where no ordinary being should be able to exist, however due to BB's reconstruction of the Far Side, it was made accessible to by ordinary beings.
Gilgamesh and Hakuno proceed on a long journey with many battles to stop the rampant A.I BB, who seeks to take control of the Moon Cell.
Terminology
We will go over basic terminology of the Nasuverse, just in case anyone is not too knowledgeable.
Nasuverse: A name given by fans that refers to almost the entirety of all works created by Kinoko Nasu. Almost all of his works such as Mahoutsukai no Yoru, Tsukihime, Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Extra, and more exist within the same universe (with a few exceptions).
Reality Marble: The concept of a Reality Marble (固有結界, Koyū Kekkai?, Innate Bounded Field) is one that centers around the materialization and projection of one's inner world onto reality following the Thaumaturgical Theory World Egg (世界卵, Sekai Tamago?). Originally, it was an ability that daemons have as their Alien Common Sense (異界常識, Ikai Jōshiki?), but some people such as The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors and the greatest of magi have made this ability available to use through a long time. The created worlds are completely cut off from normal reality, projecting their internal landscape and sealing off the regular World. Following the World Egg theory, the actualization of a Reality Marble is the result of switching the Self and the World while keeping the boundary the same. The size of the Self and the World is switched, enclosing the World in a small container while the Self is expanded. The contained World is the World Egg and the name of the theory. They will encase anyone within range, causing them to disappear from view.
So far, the biggest reality marble in the Nasuverse is the Moon Cell's, being far beyond what is classified as an infinite multiverse.
Noble Phantasm: Noble Phantasms (ノウブル・ファンタズム, Nouburu Fantazumu?), in Japanese literary called Precious Tools (宝具, Hōgu?) are "crystallized mysteries", powerful armaments made using the imagination of humans as their core, and weapons or abilities owned by Heroic Spirits. They are the embodiment of the ultimate mysteries of a hero that symbolizes one's existence through historical facts and anecdotes. They can be physical weapons, such as swords, lances, and bows, or support items, such as rings and crowns. They can also be abstract concepts, like unique abilities, unique means of attacks, curses, and changes to the environment and its physical properties. When summoned as Servants in the Holy Grail War, they are the trump cards of the heroes that allow them to overcome others in battle.
Due to Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon and being the King of Heroes, he possesses every Noble Phantasm in history with very few exceptions, such as Hercules's God Hand.
Holy Grail: In Fate/Extra, the Holy Grail is actually what masters refer to as the Moon Cell or the Moon Cell's core, which can be used in a similar way to the original Holy Grail (although on a much higher level). The victor of the Holy Grail War has the privilege of entering the Moon Cell's core to grant a single wish, just like the original Holy Grail.
Cosmology
Nasuverse cosmology is quite unique, with planets being reality marbles themselves, the Throne of Heroes outside of space-time, ect; for this thread however, we will only be focusing on the higher dimensions of the Nasuverse and the Moon Cell's cosmology.
Higher dimensions in the Nasuverse are not talked about much, as most Nasuverse characters are planetary or lower in terms of power, however there is a little bit of information that seems to show (or at least heavily imply) that higher dimensions in the Nasuverse are completely superior to lower. I would like to also state that we are NOT using VSBattles dimensional tiering.
The first bit of information that seems to show higher dimensions are absolutely superior to lower is Saber/Arturia's Avalon, "Its function as a Noble Phantasm is an "absolute defense" that completely shields its user in the domain of the fairies, Avalon, the unreachable utopia that King Arthur dreamt of and was said to have gone to after her death. It is the greatest protection in the world that goes beyond defending or reflecting, completely isolating its user in a world completely separate from the regular world. The scabbard dissipates into countless tiny particles in the air and engulfs the user to become a "portable fortress" that shuts out all interference. It is the Bounded Field of the tranquil domain of fairies that keeps out all filth from the outside world, and allows nothing to harm the tranquil King that stands in the land of Avalon. The individual is shielded from all destructive interference in the physical realm, transliners from parallel worlds, and multidimensional communication as far as the sixth dimension. It is on the level of true magic, an actual true magic in itself, that transcends all magecraft, and not even the Five Magics can overcome the barrier" So based off this, Avalon seems to be a solid 6-D defensive Noble Phantasm. The only possible Noble Phantasm (that isn't from Fate/Extra) that can damage Avalon, is a full powered Enuma Elish from Gilgamesh, as it isn't simply an attack, but conceptually returns all to nothingness at full power (Saber's Avalon only blocked a casual Enuma Elish from an arrogant Gilgamesh in Fate/Stay Night).
Now onto Fate/Extra and the Moon Cell, which is far above even Avalon...
The Moon Cell is an object in Earth's solar system that simply observes the Earth. Despite it being a relatively small object in the solar system, with it's reality warping powers, the Moon Cell can create a virtual reality marble way beyond the size of a multiverse within its domain, despite its small physical size in the real world.
The Moon Cell's Far Side is anywhere from 5-D (stated to be higher dimensional, meaning above 4-D) to 7-D (it's description and properties seem far more impressive than Avalon's). "There also exists the Far Side of the Moon (月の裏側, Tsuki no Uragawa?), an imaginary space known as the trash bin that is used for storing malicious information and imaginary numbers. Sealed off as "Not For Use" information, it is a higher dimension where the light within the photon crystals is jumbled. It is the “exterior of the world”, and can be called the "Garden of the Fallen" built from imaginary numbers in contrast to the Near Side being a cell where the "light of heavenly fire" is imprisoned. Due to his power, Gilgamesh is not allowed to appear on the Near Side of the Moon, so he sleeps in the Far Side instead. Nothing else should be able to exist there because it is the territory of nil, and intelligent life forms should not be allowed or be able to exist there. It is not within normal time, allowing for a series of communications over eighteen days from Earth to take less than a microsecond within the timeframe of the Moon Cell."
As you can see, Gilgamesh in the world of Fate/Extra is so powerful that he exist in a higher dimensional void that is possibly above Avalon in his base form.
As for how ordinary beings begin to safely enter the Far Side... "Due to BB surfacing and gaining power as an Advanced A.I., she begins an extensive reconstruction and periods of resetting to work towards her goals. This allows for someone to contact Gilgamesh even when it should be impossible. The end result of her work is Cursed Cutting Crater, a real space in the present, past, and future. Establishing it as a "place", even Masters can exist there. It is not possible to hack the Moon Cell however much time is spent, but she is able to take control of it by placing herself in “unlimited time” through the power of the primordial goddesses she has taken into herself"
The Moon Cell has at least eight confirmed dimensions, as the barrier around the Moon Cell's core cuts through eight dimensions, and was only bypassed by BB's hacking abilities. "BB :: However…The Moon Cell is, you might say impudent, or that its defenses are flawless. Even though I managed to pass through the imaginary number space at the speed of light, a huge wall now stands before our devilish heroine BB-chan! It’s a perfectly spherical spirit particle defense wall that cuts through eight dimensions. It looks like it’ll be very hard to break down this wall. But this is the last move. After I break this wall into little pieces I’ll have reached my goal. So I’ve left all of you in Meltlilith’s care." So we know that the Moon Cell has eight dimensions considering one of its barriers cuts through that many dimensions. I do believe (despite no confirmed limit) that the Moon Cell caps out at eight dimensions, as the barrier BB is getting past is the final barrier before reaching the Moon Cell's core, meaning said barrier should logically be made with the Moon Cell's maximum power to prevent anyone from accessing its core.
However there is more to the Moon Cell's cosmology than just dimensions... Now to what actually exist within it's reality marble...
The Moon Cell containsinfinitefutures of the Earth somewhere in the Far Side; this alone should qualify as an infinite multiverse of some sort. You may say "but these are just infinite possibilities/futures of a planet, while a multiverse contains infinite universes", but keep in mind that ANYTHING of infinite size should be comparable to an infinite multiverse, not to mention these possible futures are stored in presumably, the higher dimensional Far Side, meaning you would need a being on that level to damage/destroy it (as we saw with Avalon blocking out anything up to the sixth dimension). You may also say "But they are POSSIBLE futures, meaning they don't exist", however the Moon Cell simulates and stores all of these possibilities, meaning they exist to some extent within the Moon Cell, "Rani :: The Holy Grail is an observational device that simulates the future of the Earth, and stores those records continuously, at regular intervals. It has been doing so since the beginning of human history. Though it is supposed, an infinity of futures are recorded here in the moon. To obtain the Moon Cell means to be able to search out the future you wish for from among all of those, and put it into effect." We learn from the above links from Twice that the possible futures are indeed infinite.
There is one possible infinite sized area in the Near Side of the Moon Cell (the lower dimensional areas where the Holy Grail War takes place) called the Infinite Chimeric Lunar Sea. It is the last floor of the Chimeric Lunar Sea with an unknown size. The playable area is limited in size, but that is because of the barriers that prevent the player from going further out. Despite being a name, Kinoko Nasu never tends to name things randomly for no reason, so I believe it to be infinite. Since this is my Respect Thread, I will be counting this realm as infinite, however if a name alone isn't enough for you, feel free to discard it in debates.
Before we get to the main event, I'd like to state that Fate/Extra and Fate/Extra CCC have nothing to do with the main timelines of the Nasuverse and has an entirely different set of power levels for it's incarnation of all of these characters. The power of Fate/Stay Night Gilgamesh has nothing to do with Gilgamesh from Fate/Extra CCC. The timelines from Fate/Extra to other timelines are too different to powerscale from. I would also like to state that we are NOT using Fate/Extella, as despite being similar to Fate/Extra, has way too many different powerscaling contradictions, motives, backstory, and overall lore. The Moon Cell bestowing a regalia to Hakuno in Extella despite planning to delete her in Extra, and the fact that Extra and CCC's endings all make Extella impossible to happen is enough to prove that they are incompatible. I could go into many more reasons, but now is not the time.
Now onto the main event...
As we know, Gilgamesh in his base form (pre-Genesis Mystic Code) was able to live in a 5-D to possibly 7-D realm. Gilgamesh became much weaker during the beginning of Fate/Extra CCC however, partly due to his long sleep in the Far Side, but almost entirely due to making a contract with an incompetent master that had lost all of her memories. The Servant contract with Hakuno Kishinami made Gilgamesh go from a "absolute being" in her eyes, to getting smacked around by a "second-rate Servant." "While drifting in the space of imaginary numbers in the Far Side of the Moon, Hakuno encounters Gilgamesh in a weakened state. Gilgamesh tells Hakuno, who was frightened by the presence of an "absolute being", that she does not have the permission to look upon, question, or speak with him."
"Gilgamesh :: …still, this isn’t good. While it was a delight to experience the dilemmas of the weak, there is a limit to it. To be pushed about from start to finish by a second-rate Servant…it’s almost disheartening."
So saying, Gilgamesh snaps his fingers. As he does so, the air ripples as if boiling, and a drinking vessel appears. There’s no mistaking it, it’s wine and a wine glass.
Gilgamesh :: What, it’s a simple story. I have manifested as Servant in the same way as the other heroic spirits. On the theme of “participate in the Holy Grail War held by the Moon Cell.” But my power was too great. What the Moon Cell wanted was not the strongest Master, but the last surviving Master. If I had been present, the result would have been decided from the beginning, so I was not allowed to enter the Holy Grail War. Therefore, I was sealed on the far side of the moon.
—-! So, he was trapped over here, just like all of us have been…!?
Gilgamesh :: Of course not. Don’t put me on your level. I walked in here myself. Not a melee of seven mages, but 128 person formal tournament? It’s laughable. In a few words…the taste of desire becomes diluted. The Near Side’s Grail War would only drive me to edge with boredom. A carefully sculpted with no betrayal, no artifice, no fruitless exertions, that does not suit my tastes. So I abandoned the Near Side. All human evils are enclosed in the darkness of the Far Side of the moon — That murky, stagnant pool is much like the primordial chaos. And it has an excellent tranquility. So I made myself a sleeping chamber, and dozed off into dreams of decadence."
Gilgamesh blames himself alone for his weakened state, but we know that the power of Servants depends on their master, and he seems to imply making a Servant contract at all would weaken him. "That’s not Gilgamesh’s responsibility. While his physical condition did degrade during his long sleep, the original cause of it is my own failings. The reason we couldn’t do anything against Lancer was because I couldn’t provide sufficient back up or direction. It was my failure as a Master. Before I get back my memories, I need to retrain myself."
Throughout the game, Hakuno and Gilgamesh both train together, along with them defeating multiple Servants in the process, until they finally find BB once more. Apparently Gilgamesh throughout his training has hit universe level since he seems to imply he can stop BB's higher dimensional universe level attack (higher dimensional since the universe they are in is in the Far Side), however he most likely would need to use Ea to defend against such an attack. "
Gilgamesh turns BB’s words against her provocatively. …if that’s any indication, he’s ready to shoot down BB on the spot. Looking at me and Gilgamesh like this,
BB :: Of course I will end it. If Hakuno Kishinami does not sever her contract with Gilgamesh, I will bring down all electrical power.
She’s saying she’ll destroy the universe. The girl in black announces it, not as a bluff or a metaphor, but as if it were natural.
Gilgamesh :: — Oh? You may have gone out of control, but you’re still a managerial AI. Aren’t you unable to kill Masters?
BB :: I do not presently have the right to kill Masters, but it is possible for me to make this sector collapse. I can end all of you and myself as well if necessary. This is the worst and final measure. I am prepared for complaints from all intelligent life in the solar system. Miss Hakuno Kishinami. I will propose it again. Please sever your contract with this Servant.
Gilgamesh :: So it seems, Hakuno. What will you do? I don’t care either way.
This has gotten ridiculous. BB threatening me into cutting my contract with Gilgamesh, saying she’ll “end everything” if I don’t obey. Of course I don’t know if that’s true or not. BB has corroded the far side of the Moon Cell and consumed many Servants, but even she isn’t that powerful…I’d like to think."
Notice base Gilgamesh isn't even remotely impressed at universe busting, also notice that the universe is referred to as a sector in the Moon Cell, so a random sector in the Moon Cell is a universe. Keep in mind the sector/universe they are in is higher dimensional as well.
Now time for Genesis Mystic Code Gilgamesh...
Since this thread is about Gilgamesh and not BB, I will make this brief... BB has absorbed the data of many Divine Spirits, including the Earth Mother Goddess. One of her main abilities is Potnia Theron, which makes her impossible to defeat if her opponent is someone from Earth. The only way to counter this if you are from Earth is to have authority and power on her level, which forces Gilgamesh and Hakuno to re-obtain his Genesis Mystic Code, which gives him the same level of authority and power as Moon Cell fused BB.
"Ten Crowns (十の王冠, Jū no Ōkan?) is an EX rank skill. It has been said that the ten crowns indicates the ten evil kings and the seven hills indicate the abominable city of evil. It is unknown what kind of principle・authority it is, but that power's origin lies in a past that even the King of Heroes, who was supposed to be mankind's oldest, cannot reach. On a simple look, it is a Skill that turns received injuries and occurred events, that make all results as if "nothing happened". As a matter of fact, BB is invincible as long as she has this skill.
The details of Ten Crowns is later revealed under a different name. BB compiled and absorbed many goddesses from the abyss of the Moon Cell, giving her Potnia Theron: Conception of All Animals (百獣母胎ポトニア・テローン, Hyakujū BotaiPotonia Terōn?), the authority of the Earth Mother Goddess. None born of the earth can defy her authority as that would mean rebelling against the system of life itself. Her Noble Phantasm, Cursed Cutting Crater, is the maximum use of the skill."
BB also fusing with the Moon Cell's core/becoming the Moon Cell means she has the full power of the Moon Cell, the same device that has an 8D reality marble with at least two infinite sized realms in it, which goes far beyond what qualifies as an infinite sized multiverse, meaning Moon Cell BB is also at this level. Her Noble Phantasm is even stated to wipe out dimensions and reality.
"Cursed Cutting Crater (C. C. C.)
An attack on the world by BB in control of the Moon Cell.
Also called the spirit particle imaginary pit.
A world purge by means of event rewriting, making maximum use of the EX skill “Potnia Theron” BB had acquired.
The goddess who is the mother of the earth goddesses who created the earth is, in other words, the “root” that created all creation.
This Noble Phantasm is an anti-world Noble Phantasm that outputs information like an ultra-precise 3d printer and crushes the present world with the world desired by the user.
The space eroded by BB becomes imaginary space and a curse that consumes reality. CCC as the name suggests is a cursed pit that bores out reality.
In addition to scattering all objects inside on an atomic level and reconstructing them, it is capable of writing over and rewriting information of fields such as luck and coincidence.
While theoretical, it is also thought possible to distort the time axis by interfering with gravity fields and rewrite the law of cause and effect.
When used in combat, BB’s familiars, the shapeshifters engulf the target, and after turning into a sphere, is wiped out of existence along with the target and the dimension with it."
Keyword is "reality" and "dimensions." CCC can consume reality and erase dimensions, and BB used CCC in the Far Side of Angelica cage, which is higher dimensional. Calling CCC planet level because it's called "Anti World" is vastly out of context. This Noble Phantasm is the second strongest in the entire Nasuverse next to Fate/Extra CCC's version of Gilgamesh's Enuma Elish.
Gilgamesh after obtaining his Mystic Code is equal in raw power to Moon Cell BB.
Gilgamesh :: Indeed. A king should never show his true form, even unto his death. However, my mongrel wagered her life to bring these rites to the attention of the crown. If I do not answer her call, who will? If the malice covering this place belongs to all the world, that’s most convenient. Listen carefully, all beings. This woman is my contractor. Consider harming Hakuno Kishinami without my permission impossible from now unto eternity!"
In the battle, Gilgamesh is capable of flat out one shotting Moon Cell BB via Enuma Elish. When Gilgamesh plants his sword Ea into the ground, the mere spinning of it destroys the entire Moon Cell reality marble. The main argument against this feat is that "It's only a game cinematic" and "If he really destroyed the Moon Cell reality marble, why is it back after the attack is over?" To the first argument, I say that it isn't a mere cinematic because the mere spinning of Ea is stated to devour space-time and reality (I will post Ea and Enuma elish related statements below). To the second argument, I say that the Moon Cell's core restored its reality marble, after all, it's shown capable of doing this once Sakura takes control of the Moon Cell.
"Delete all the Moon Cell’s set rules…? Wait, could Sakura be planning to reset all Moon Cell’s “administrative functions,” including herself!?
Gilgamesh :: To sweep away this whole affair as if it were all a dream…So you will protect the Moon Cell even at the cost of your own life, no, your own soul, AI?
Sakura :: …Yes, it’s fine. If I disappear, it will stop running out of control and the corrosion will stop. All of you will be returned to the near side, and the imaginary number space will be erased from proper history, as if it never existed. Everything will go back to how it was before. I am an AI born from the Moon Cell. I’ll just being going back to the place I used to be. …Yes, everything will be set right. As soon as you open your eyes. That meeting, the time we’ve spent here, everything. So please don’t worry. It’s just the ending of a dream. Ah, but — It was a long dream. It was fun, and it made me happier than it should —
This is… Is there really no other way left to fix this? “Everything as it was before,” Sakura said. We’ll go back to before we were draw into the far side of the moon, back to the correct history where “there is no far side of the moon.” So everything that happened here will be gone. All the times we worked together on the student council. Our battles with BB and the Alter Egos, all of the many things that happened here."
Also the fact that Gilgamesh can stomp BB who became the Moon Cell itself backs up this feat.
As for Gilgamesh's sword, Ea...
"Sword of Rupture, Ea (乖離剣・エア, Kairi Ken - Ea?) is the most powerful Noble Phantasm contained in the Gate of Babylon and the pinnacle of all those used by Servants. Unlike all of his other nameless weapons that were able to be passed on to other wielders over the course of history, it is a sword only Gilgamesh possesses, a completely unique existence that can only be possessed by him, that is suited only for a ruler's use and makes him transcendent.
Borne of the winds drawn unto the revolution of the three cylinders of Ea, a spatial severence is formed by use of the Sword of Separation. Compressed and intertwined stratifications of wind become a virtual dislocation of space-time, annihilating any who would stand in opposition. Aside from holding an elimination rank "Armor Class" statistic of a sufficient magnitude to resist Purging, or enacting mutual negation via a counterattack that inflicts the same order of damage, the damage rendered cannot be defended against"
This is caused by the mere spinning of Ea's blade. As for Ea's ultimate attack, Enuma Elish...
"Performing the miracle of genesis, something that reveals creation - the beginning of everything, the attack opens an abyss capable of crushing all of creation, and the center of the storm is not calm, but rather a hole to hell itself that returns all that enters its realm to the nothingness from which it originated. The wind pressure creates a vacuum that takes all things with form, the land, the atmosphere, and the sky, into the whirling void. The tumult of genesis takes everything that was nothing more than chaos which could not form any meaning, and creates a new truth that divides and distinguishes Heaven, Sea, and Earth. Within the darkness where everything is returned to nothingness, only Ea is left to shine with brilliance like a Star of Creation amidst the destruction, the first thing illuminating the new world. The ability takes the entire world within the Reality Marble Ionioi Hetairoi, and cracks, shatters, and collapses it into the abyss like the ending of an hourglass. The entire world inside the Reality Marble would have been completely destroyed had the field not collapsed due to a lack of energy."
As you can see, some of these quotes are referencing things outside of Fate/Extra, such as Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero, as these pages are not exclusively dedicated to Extra. Fate/Extra CCC's Enuma Elish works the same way as the other incarnations of Enuma Elish from the main timelimes, only amped to a higher dimensional beyond multiversal level (as shown with what they can do to the Moon Cell reality marble and Moon Cell BB).
As for the rest of Gilgamesh's abilities, they may be added at a later time, but this respect thread is meant mainly for the power of CCC Gilgamesh.
Speed
Before I talk about CCC Gilgamesh speed. Let me tell you what speed is. Speed is simply how fast a character can move in a given amount of time. There are five types of speed used for VS purposes: Attack Speed, Combat Speed, Reaction Speed, Travel Speed, and Flight Speed. The term "Speed" normally refers to Combat Speed.
Attack Speed
The speed at which an attack moves. For example, X character is hypersonic, but he can do an attack that is a natural beam of light, the speed for the attack is different from the speed of the user, hence the attack would be lightspeed even if its user isn't.
Combat Speed
The speed at which a character can fight.
Reaction Speed
Reaction speed is the speed at which a character can react to an event or action. This usually only grants a short movement upon reaction, whereas several movements at the same speed switch it to combat speed.
For example, let's say that character A shoots at character B with a gun and character B dodges. That is reaction speed. Keep in mind, sometimes a person aim dodges and it is not as good of a feat.
As another example, let's say that character A uses a minigun on character B, but the minigun takes a second or two to charge up and Character B sees this. If Character B dodges it is considered aim dodging since he/she knew that the attack was going to happen.
Reaction speed is reacting to an attack that you don't know is going to happen, or at a very close range. The reaction speed of a character also tends to be higher than its movement speed.
Travel Speed
The speed at which a character or object can move by running, or through similar means that do not involve flight or teleportation.
Flight Speed
The speed at which a character or object flies a certain distance, like going from the earth to the sun for example.
High flight speed logically requires similar reaction speed in order to maneuver when approaching different objects.
Gilgamesh's Speed
Gilgamesh's speed in Fate/Extra is almost always interpreted incorrectly by fans. Many people claim Gilgamesh is billions of times faster than light due to him being sent to the Horsehead Nebula and coming back instantly, however Gilgamesh's true speed is beyond the concept of space-time, here is why...
BB after becoming the Moon Cell is described by Rin as having a higher dimensional existence and perspective where she can view and handle the past, present, and future at once, "Rin :: On the other hand, the laws of the recorded universe are different. The perception of the recorded universe is over many dimensions…think of it as a higher dimensional existence. From this higher dimension, the third dimension looks like a flat scroll. Er, if the three-dimensional world is a world drawn in a book, and then if you jumped inside the book and came out outside the book, something like that? And then you’re able to look down on any point in your past, present, and future from when you were inside the book, as a record — that’s the higher dimensional perspective. You get it? Under these circumstances, all time inside the book becomes equivalent. Since you can always turn to whatever time you want to. There’s no past or future. It’s the same as that. This is imaginary number space, a higher dimensional information space made from light. The far side of the moon is fundamentally operated according to the laws of the recorded universe, not the observed universe. We are foreign bodies…no, guests. Creatures of the the observed universe that have been thrown into the recorded universe. Whereas the Moon Cell’s Core is a concurrent world simulator where all possibilities are calculated and the past, present, and future all exist at the same time. In other words, it belongs to the recorded universe. BB has become that Moon Cell. She’s obtained a higher dimensional perspective. So — BB can handle the past and the future simultaneously." Notice from the earlier descriptions of BB's abilities that before fusing with the Moon Cell, she placed herself in "unlimited time" so she could hack the Moon Cell. So we have base BB pre-Moon Cell already in unlimited time, and Moon Cell BB existing above it, so how can Gilgamesh keep pace with BB if he is only billions of times faster than light? Simple, he can't... Moon Cell BB stated that Genesis Mystic Code Gilgamesh is on her level, meaning that Gilgamesh exist beyond time just like Moon Cell BB (makes sense since he existed in the Far Side in base).
Moon Cell Hakuno also makes an interesting comment...
As for the Horsehead Nebula feat Kiara did to Gilgamesh, there are two possibilities... One, that the feat of him getting back from 1,500 light years was more than just distance, as Kiara threw Gilgamesh into conceptual space and into the Horsehead Nebula in one of the many universes in the Moon Cell (a universe was referred to as a mere sector of the Moon Cell, as shown earlier) in a different dimension from Angelica Cage (the realm where the Moon Cell's core is), and it shows a beam of light come across the screen and he is back instantly. People assume Kiara threw him from Earth to the Horsehead Nebula, making him MFTL, but they were in the higher dimensional Angelica Cage (nowhere near Earth or the universe in general in the Moon Cell), meaning Kiara threw him across dimensions into a random universe in the Moon Cell. Possibility number two is that Kiara threw Gilgamesh OUTSIDE of the Moon Cell's reality marble entirely into the real universe, and since the Moon Cell physically exist in our solar system, people use the standard billions of times faster than light calc, but think about it... Gilgamesh got thrown out of a beyond infinite multiversal in size, higher dimensional virtual reality marble into the real universe into the Horsehead Nebula, and came back into one of the deepest realms of the Moon Cell's reality marble in the blink of an eye; that requires way beyond MFTL speeds. Regardless, the fact he is stated to be on the same level as Moon Cell BB and kept pace with her proves he's faster than the concept of time itself.
So in the end, I'll lay down the quick stats summary of Fate/Extra's Gilgamesh
Base Gilgamesh post-training/regained his lost power
Power: Universal to possibly 5-D or 7-D (BB's universal attack was not just going to destroy a universe, but a universe in a higher dimension/the Far Side, while Gilgamesh didn't seem concerned or impressed).
Speed: Possibly infinite (exist in the Far Side and seemed ready to challenge base BB, who put herself in unlimited time).
Genesis Mystic Code Gilgamesh
Power: Possibly Infinite multiversal level to two infinite multiverses (counting the Infinite Chimeric Lunar Sea); most likely far far higher as he is 8-D since he scales to Moon Cell BB (depends on how you want to view higher dimensions in the Nasuverse).
Speed: Beyond the concept of time (is on the same level of existence as Moon Cell BB, who can view and handle the past, present, and future at once like a book).
Hax: Mind Manipulation (His Charisma is so high that weaker people are forced to obey), Homing Attacks (Gate of Babylon always homes in onto opponents), Invisibility (with Ring of Invisibility), Regeneration (All Servants can regenerate damage that are considered fatal to normal humans in mere minutes, Gilgamesh can also summon himself even if his body was destroyed, such as when he summoned himself from having his Caster body completely destroyed, and came back with his True Power activated), Immortality (With the Potion of Youth, he cannot age), Magic Negation (with various Noble Phantasms), Clairvoyance and Precognition (with Sha Naqba Imuru, which allows him to instantly discern great truths, such as the identity of another Servant and their Noble Phantasms, can see the possibilities of parallel worlds, predicting the future and knowing exactly what to do), Soul Manipulation (All Servants can consume souls to replenish their magical energy), Space-Time Manipulation (Ea can twist space-time itself, showing the "truth" of creation, also Gilgamesh himself can "tear through boundaries"), Supernatural Luck, Minor Fate Manipulation (Servants with B-rank Luck or higher can change their own fates to evade inevitable outcomes such as having their hearts destroyed by Gáe Bolg), Intangibility and Invisibility (Only in spirit form), Immunity to Modern Weapons (Servants are Divine Mysteries that cannot be harmed by modern weapons such as guns, knives, or bombs unless they are infused with a supernatural aspect such as magical energy or possess a certain amount of age), Resistance to Magic (Increased further by his armor, includes effects such as Petrification, Spatial Manipulation, and Mind Manipulation), Resistance to Spatial Manipulation and Time Manipulation (Is unaffected by the space-time dislocation created through the use of Enuma Elish and was unhindered by the collapse of Rider's Reality Marble), High Resistance to Mind Manipulation (Not even All the World's Evil can corrupt his ego, and was in fact completely ineffective, allowing him to fight back even when consumed and digested by Sakura), Conceptual Manipulation (Enuma Elish was originally made by the Gods themselves, which was then used to create worlds and nations, including their concepts), Durability Negation (with various Noble Phantasms), High Resistance to Matter Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Information Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation, Law Manipulation, Probability Manipulation, Sealing, Time Manipulation, Reality Warping, Causality Manipulation, Life Manipulation, Death Manipulation, Fate Manipulation, Probability Manipulation, Power Nullification, Existence Erasure, Illusion Creation and Time Paradox Immunity (After obtaining the power of the Root of the Beginning, which is his original power, BB, who is able to manipulate space-time, causality, probability, information, gravity, life, death, minds, senses, powers, souls, and other aspects of reality through her usage of Potnia Theron and her Authority, was unable to affect Gilgamesh due to being opposed by a power of equal potency)
Intelligence: Genius.Created to be the pinnacle of all humans, Gilgamesh is an exceptionally intelligent individual when he wants to be, easily seeing through lies and discerning any number of forms of magecraft with a glance, predicting the number of weapons Shirou would project at once and countering him with an equal number of weapons from his treasury, instantly seeing through Caster's faked death, and backing away from Saber after she formed a contract with Rin. In addition, Sha Naqba Imuru allows him to see all possible outcomes, allowing him to always make the correct move and discern the True Names and Noble Phantasms of his opponent if he wishes.
Stamina: Very High. Can stay in the world without a Master for a week before being incarnated, fight against Sakurawhile being broken down into magical energy, can survive having his arm cut off, being stabbed in the chest by Shirou, and then being shot in the head by Archer, dying only because he was absorbed into the singularity created by the Grail. Fought against Enkidu for several days straight, ultimately expending the entirety of the Gate of Babylon.
Powers, Techniques, and Equipment
Powers
Superhuman Physical Attributes: As a Servant, Gilgamesh is much more powerful than an ordinary human, and he doesn't require food, air, water, or any other human necessities to live, as all Servants can live simply on mana.
Flight: Possesses a Noble Phantasm that allows him to levitate off the ground and take flight faster than any modern magi.
Supernatural Luck: His luck is potent to be able to alter his own fate, such as when struck with causality-altering Gae Bolg, and he also uses this luck to easily collect as much wealth and treasure, meaning he will never run out of money.
Minor Mind Manipulation
Electricity Manipulation with Auto-Defensors
Energy Projection with various Noble Phantasms
Forcefield Creation
Homing Attacks
Ice Manipulation
Invisibility with Ring of Invisibility
Immortality: Gilgamesh cannot age should he drink the Potion of Youth.
Magic Negation with various Noble Phantasms
Clairvoyance and Precognition
Soul Manipulation
Intangibility and Invisibility: Gilgamesh, when in spirit form, can become intangible and invisible
Regeneration: All Servants can regenerate wounds that would be fatal to humans in mere minutes, and Gilgamesh can also summon himself again should his physical body be destroyed completely.
Space-Time Manipulation: Enuma Elish can destroy space-time itself, as it tears through the world, revealing the "void" that originated in the beginning of the universe itself. Gilgamesh can also resist this, as when seen in Extra CCC, space itself cracks it Ea spins, and Gilgamesh is unaffected by it. It is also possible for Gilgamesh to create a new world using Ea, though he usually doesn't use it this way. Even without using Ea or Enuma Elish however, Gilgamesh is perfectly capable of tearing through boundaries, such as when he suddenly appeared right next to Altera.
The Gate of Babylon contains all the treasures in the world, with only Divine Constructs escaping his possession. This is no hyperbole; it contains the basis for all things constructed by humans throughout human history, from the works of the Library of Alexandria, to board games, to airplanes and submarines. The only technology he lacks are things that would be created by humans with entirely new concepts, and the technology of extraterrestrial races. As the original hero, all Noble Phantasms are descended from their prototypes in his collection. If a Servant would appear with a Noble Phantasm that he does not own or have an equivalent of without proper reason (such as it being a Divine Construct), he would gain it retroactively. In terms of Noble Phantasms, only attributes and techniques such as God Hand and Divine Constructs such as Excalibur or Vasavi Shakti elude him.
Sha Naqba Imuru (He who Saw the Deep): The Omniscient Omnipotent Star: Gilgamesh's mentality and intelligence, sublimated into a Noble Phantasm. It is continuously active and does not need its true name revealed to use it, though Gilgamesh keeps it restricted most of the time. It grants him high-level Clairvoyance, allowing him to discern great truths with a glance, identifying Servants and their Noble Phantasm with ease. It does not just show him advanced predictions and possibilities, but allows him to look down over all the possibilities and discern the correct move to make. Even when he uses this ability to its fullest extent, his arrogance leads him to reject certain world lines as impossible, including one in which he was consumed by the mud of the Grail and broken down into magical energy.
Class Skills (Archer)
Independent Action: The ability to remain independent and exist in the world without the magical energy supplied by a Master, allowing the Servant to act autonomously and the Master to save their own magical energy for spells. Under normal circumstances, Gilgamesh's rank of A allows him to act without a Master except when it comes to the use of high-cost Noble Phantasms, and he can remain in the world for a week without a Master. After he was incarnated by the mud of the Grail, he needs no Master to act and use high-cost abilities. Through this, he remained materialized even after the Fourth Holy Grail War ended.
Magic Resistance: An ability that grants protection against magical effects. Unlike the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Gilgamesh's proficiency in this skill ranges from E to C-Rank depending on who summoned him, with E-Rank merely reducing the amount of damage he takes from magical attacks and C-Rank nullifying spells below two verses. It is, however, further enhanced by his armor, raising it above the magic resistance of even King Arthur, who can negate magecraft from the Age of Gods. He has many other possessions that would also allow him to negate magecraft. This ability also provides resistance against indirect magical attacks such as Petrification, Hypnosis, and Spatial Manipulation.
Class Skills (Caster)
Item Construction (False): A skill that works similarly to the regular Item Construction. While Gilgamesh is normally not a magus and thus shouldn't have this skill, due to the fact that his treasury contains the sum of human wisdom, he is able to retrieve virtually any tool he needs from it for as long as it is not among the sealed part of the treasury.
Territory Creation: A skill which quantifies one's ability to create a territory advantageous to them as a Magus. Gilgamesh A-Rank in this skill allows him to create a "Temple", a territory that is superior to the "Workshop" used by most Magi, putting this skill to use by erecting the walls of Uruk in such a way that they can withstand the attacks of the Tiamat-Gorgon for an extended period of time.
Personal Skills
Charisma: The natural talent to command an army, which increases the ability of allies during group battles. In Gilgamesh's case, it is no longer popularity but rather a kind of curse in itself due to his A+ Rank proficiency, causing normal humans to prostrate themselves at his feet in his mere presence. It can also be used as a form of subtle Mind Manipulation, getting people to do what he wants without much resistance.
Collector: A "talent" in collecting high quality goods, a sort of supernatural luck that draws rare items into Gilgamesh's hands. Gilgamesh is one who has collected all the Earth's treasures, grasping the very essence of human ingenuity itself.
Divinity: The measure of one's Divine blood, reflected in high ranks by the user becoming part Divine Spirit, though it decreases if the user dislikes the gods. It allows him to reduce "purge defense" in proportion to the rank of his Divinity, such as Saver's Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig and Achilles' Andreas Amarantos. Gilgamesh would normally have an A+ Rank in this skill due to being two-thirds divine, but his effective rank has dropped to B due to his distaste for the gods.
Golden Rule: Throughout history and mythology, individuals destined to amass vast fortunes and treasure are identified as possessing Golden Rule. Among these figures, Gilgamesh stands alone at the zenith of opulence, for he has at his disposal enough riches to purchase whatever he may need in any era of summoning, as evidenced by his A-Rank in this skill.
King's Return: A skill that represents the man Gilgamesh came to be following his failed journey for immortality, where he grew to be the king Uruk needed after finding his country to be in a declined state due to his neglect and turning it back around into a prosperous country in his remaining years.
Sovereign of Magical Wands: A skill that represents Gilgamesh's fighting style and use of magecraft while summoned as Caster, granting him a bonus to his magecraft attacks' power while denoting that he wields them with the extra care befitting that of a king and his treasures to preserve them and draw out their maximum potential.
Rosy-Cheeked Adonis: The disposition of Child Gil as a charming pretty boy that affects those of all genders. It can be resisted through willpower or negated entirely by Magic Resistance.
Enuma Elish: The Star of Creation that Split Heaven and Earth: Ea's function as a Noble Phantasm, its maximum output as an EX-ranked Anti-World Noble Phantasm. The separate sections of Ea rotates faster and faster, as the air around it gets twisted and compressed until it exceeds the laws of physics, creating a quasi-fault in time as it starts cutting space. Once fired, it creates a dislocation of space-time, the resulting Void that emerges from the ruptured space, rends space even further to destroy anything in Gilgamesh's sight at once, ripping apart the World to show the dawn of creation and the "Truth". It is similar in this way to Slash Emperor, a Knight Arm capable of destroying Type Jupiter in a single blow. As an Anti-World Noble Phantasm, it is well-suited to the destruction of Reality Marbles, in a manner that Gilgamesh describes as revealing the reality behind a dream. When used at his full power in Fate/strange fake, the dislocation in space-time and the Void that emerged from it was going to destroy the planet itself. In Fate/Extra CCC, he plants it in the ground, allowing it to charge, spinning rapidly and destroying the ground around him. It creates a great space-time dislocation, which Gilgamesh crushes his opponent with. However, most of the time, Gilgamesh does not use its full power, as it is hardly necessary; even a casual Enuma Elish easily overpowered Excalibur and gravely wounded Saber, rendering her helpless.
Equipment
Treasury within the Gate of Babylon: Gilgamesh has collected all the treasures in the Earth before his death and thus has a prototype for virtually all Noble Phantasms ever used by any Heroic Spirit; with Divine Contructs being the only items that elude him (Except a few of his own Divine Constructs, like EA). Notable items in his treasury include:
Anti-Spirit Incense: An ash-like powder that attracts walking corpses like those summoned by Angra Mainyu.
Auto-Defensors: A series of golden discs that float around Gilgamesh and can defend an area as large as a single floor building. They defend Gilgamesh from virtually any projectile by shooting them down with innumerable lightning bolts as they approach. It provides sufficient protection against even a storm of surprise attacks from Enkidu. However, a sufficiently fast projectile, such as True Archer's arrows, would be able to bypass them completely.
Caladbolg: The prized spiral sword wielded by Fergus mac Róich, which can generate powerful beams of iridescent light that can cleanly slice through hills and devastate a fortress if planted in the ground.
Command Spells: In Fate/Extra CCC, Gilgamesh has collected several Command Spells that would normally be used to bind Servants like himself and can provide them to a new Master if he wishes to establish a contract with them.
Curtain of Night: A magical item mentioned in passing as a means of counteracting Gawain's Numeral of the Saint, possibly by blotting out the sun.
Dáinsleif: A demonic sword from the Nibelungen. It is a cursed Noble Phantasm that contains a powerful curse of "reparation" to be used on its target, and it also drives the fate of its possessor to ruin and causes them to surely die. Within the Skáldskaparmál, it is possessed by the Danish king, Hogni. He became locked in eternal combat with the king of Serkland, Hedinn, due to the sword's curse, which requires it to always kill a man once drawn and does not allow it to return to its sheath until such is accomplished.
Durandal: The Peerless Sword: Originally the sword of Hector, he converted it into the spear Durindana, and after it later lost its features as a spear, it became Durandal. It was then later said to have been granted to King Charlemagne of the Frankish Empire by an angel and awarded to Roland. It is noted as the symbol of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass told of in the Song of Roland. Although Roland attempted to break the sword when he was on the verge of death to keep it from falling into the hands of the enemy, it proved to be impossible, but it was later prominently featured in Charlemagne's legends, acting as a symbol of Roland's bravery. The sword is a splendidly forged "symbol of power" much like King Arthur's Caliburn, and it is said to hold three miracles within it. It will not lose its sharpness even should its user's magical energy be depleted, proving indestructible even when Roland tried to destroy it.
Gáe Bolg: The spear of Cú Chulainn, a massive two-meter long weapon with the ability to always strike the opponent's heart. However, Gilgamesh lacks the knowledge required to activate this ability, but can still fire it as a powerful projectile that inflicts wounds that cannot be healed with natural regeneration.
Golden Axe: A weapon seen in Fate/Extra CCC, it is one of the few weapons Gilgamesh wields personally, cleaving targets along with the space around them with a spinning chop.
Golden Drill: Another weapon seen in Fate/Extra CCC and one that Gilgamesh wields personally, penetrating and tearing apart targets with its drilling motions along with cannon and machine gun fire.
Gram: The "Sword of the Sun" wielded by Sigurd in the Völsunga saga of Norse mythology. It is said to be the "strongest demonic sword" that equals the "strongest holy sword", so it possesses the special characteristic of "dragon slayer". The weapon is said to appear in the Der Ring des Nibelungen under the name change of Balmung.
Houtengeki: A halberd passed down in Chinese culture and the only type of halberd out of many to attain the rank of Noble Phantasm, probably due to the use of Houtengageki by a famous military commander. It is a polearm with many different uses such as thrusting, swiping, pulling, parrying, and various others. Chinese halberds have a spearhead at the tip of the shaft and a blade attached to the side, and the distinguishing characteristic of a Houtengeki is a unique crescent-moon shaped side blade, the “Moon Fang.” Weapons with only one of these blades are called Seiryugeki. It is said that a great deal of skill is needed to handle this weapon, though its versatility and ease of use once mastering it allowed for it to be used to serve the appropriate role for any type of combatant.
Immortal Slaying Scythe, Harpe: The Snake Hunter's Scythe, a divine sword from Greek mythology used by Perseus to kill the Gorgon Medusa and one of the many weapons inside Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon. It is described as a monster-killing holy sword with a special shape similar to a scythe, having the cutting edge on the inside of the blade, though it isn't actually an outstanding sword by itself. Its true strength is its trait of Refraction of Longevity, which is a divine ability that nullifies the "undying attribute" of immortals and inflicts wounds that cannot be restored by any methods other than healing in accordance to the natural laws.
Merodach: The Original Sin: The prototype of both Gram and Caliburn, and due to its greater mystery it outstrips them in every aspect. It is named after Marduk, the patron god of Babylon. Its strength as a Noble Phantasm is incomparable, easily shattering Caliburn without it being able to put up any resistance. It utilizes the same power as Caliburn, a "light that can burn away everything it touches", that could kill Berserker with one slash.
Mountain-Piercing Spears: A series of unnamed spears that can easily pierce mountains.
Potion of Youth: A Noble Phantasm that returns the user to their youth, contained within a small translucent bottle. It is the herb of immortality, that which Gilgamesh sought and found after the death of his closest friend, Enkidu. While he lost it and came to terms with his own mortality, he still sought and found it again for the sake of having it in his treasury. When he drinks it, it returns him to his child self, altering his personality and appearance. He only uses it to blend into the world and tolerate modern society, such as within the ten-year gap between the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars, or when he sees something as a childish game that isn't worthy of his full strength. He can forcibly reverse the effects whenever he pleases to return to his older self.
Rho Aias: The Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens: The shield used by Aias the Great to stop Durindana, the spear of the Trojan hero Hector, tearing through six of its seven layers of cowhide but stopping at the final layer. As a result, it has been sublimed as a virtually absolute Conceptual Defense against thrown and launched weaponry.
Ship of Light: A vehicle that allows Gilgamesh to travel faster than the speed of light. It allows him to instantly return after he is sent to the edge of the Moon Cell's Imaginary Space hundreds of light-years away.
Vajra: A weapon appearing in the Vedic mythology of ancient India. It was a weapon crafted by Tvastar, the maker of divine instruments, using the bones of the sage, Dadhichi. It became symbol of divinity of Indra, the god of lightning, and the indestructible diamond pounder weapon carried by the gods of Buddhism. It was held in one interpretation to be a manifestation of Indra’s lightning, which is supported by its deceptions as a golden projectile and its appearance unbefitting of a conventional weapon. Vajra was initially known by its proper name of Vjaya when Indra was first introduced to India as a phenomenon that spread from the Aryans. Along with Indra, whose name changed to Taishakuten, his divine symbol also had its name changed and became known as Vajra after the age of Buddhism as India's main religion began. It is a simple weapon that can only be shot only once for a fixed B+ rank damage separate from the user's magical energy supply.
Unnamed Anti-Magic Sickle: An enormous sickle that drains magical energy and can cut through magical implements such as Saber's armor or Berserker's Knight of Owner.
Unnamed Dimensional Refraction Artifact: An artifact that defends against attacks that use the Multi-Dimensional Refraction Phenomenon, allowing Gilgamesh to block attacks that come from parallel universes such as Sasaki Kojirou's Tsubame Gaeshi.
Unnamed Dragon-Slaying Longsword: Gilgamesh also possesses a longsword that slayed an oriental dragon in the past.
Unnamed Freezing Sword: Gilgamesh possesses a sword that would freeze any target struck as well as the area around them, covering the target in ice even if they managed to dodge the initial strike for as long as they're within relative proximity of the blade.
Unnamed Invisibility Ring: A ring that wards off the attention of normal people, preventing them from noticing him. It doesn't work on magi or other magical beings.
Unnamed Invisible Sword: A sword that is described as "invisible like Saber's" that Gilgamesh fires as a projectile.
Unnamed Lens: A golden ring with a single, warped lens that allowed Gilgamesh to view True Archer from twenty kilometers away.
Unnamed Levitation Treasure: An unnamed treasure that allows Gilgamesh to levitate in mid-air.
Unnamed Lightning Noble Phantasm: Gilgamesh is able to launch "lightning without form" as a projectile without the use of his Vajra Noble Phantasm.
Unnamed Magical Staves: Various magical rods and staves that can use magecraft from the Age of Gods. Those seen have generated pillars of flame, concentrated lightning storms, and light beams that home in on their targets.
Unnamed Mirror Shield: A shield that effortlessly repels powerful magecraft.
Unnamed Spellbook: An unnamed tome that allows Gilgamesh to utilize powerful Primeval Runes from the Age of Gods.
Unnamed Triple-Edged Sword: A sword with three edges that can arc behind an opponent to attack their back if left unguarded.
Various Unnamed Homing Weapons: Gilgamesh possesses multiple weapons, such as scythes, scimitars, and axes that are able to constantly follow their chosen target even if they dodge in a vehicle as maneuverable as a modern fighter jet empowered by Lancelot's Knight of Owner.
Various Unnamed Shields: Gilgamesh possess multiple shields, that he normally deploys in order to halt attacks, including those that can overpower barrages from the Gate of Babylon.
Vimana: Throne of the Heaven-soaring King: A flying contraption passed from Babylon and India that appeared within the Ramayana and Mahabharata, and one of the many Noble Phantasms within the Gate of Babylon. It far surpasses any jet from the modern era, fueled by crystals that burn mercury as fuel. Even when Gilgamesh was just fooling around, he easily outpaced Lancelot in a fighter jet elevated to a Noble Phantasm by Knight of Owner. He uses the Gate of Babylon freely while piloting Vimana. It has a wide array of functions including ancient machines guns, ancient nuclear warheads, stealth functions, communication interception technology, laser cannons, and biological weapons, among others.
Enkidu: Chains of Heaven: Gilgamesh's most trusted Noble Phantasm, even more so than Ea. It is a set of chains named after his closest friend, and made to bind even the gods themselves. It is one of the few Anti-Divine Noble Phantasms, growing stronger when used against those with divine blood, such as Heracles, becoming more effective the higher their rank of Divinity. Against a non-divine Servant, it is nothing but a strong chain. Those that are caught in it cannot escape even through the use of a Command Seal, though Berserker, in his last moments, in a desperate show of his own strength, is able to shatter the chain and escape. Gilgamesh can summon Enkidu from anywhere he can reach with the Gate of Babylon, and draws out its full length when serious to use it in conjunction with Ea.
Sword of Rupture, Ea: The "Sword that ripped apart the world", the ultimate Noble Phantasm of the Gate of Babylon and Gilgamesh's most powerful weapon. Unlike the countless other Noble Phantasm within his treasury, which were passed onto countless wielders after his death and took on many forms, it is a sword only he possesses. It is a Divine Construct that predates the concept of a sword, bearing a truly unusual design, a cylindrical "blade" with a dull tip and independently rotating segments. The sword is crowned with the name of the Great God Ea, who was said to have cultivated the primordial world by separating, crushing and moving the world's surface, he is even said to have created the world itself. As his most powerful treasure, Gilgamesh is reluctant to use it against "lowlifes", willingly drawing it only to face those he believes are worthy, such as Alexander the Great and King Arthur.
Sword of the End, Enki: Gilgamesh's ultimate weapon, a pair of golden blades stored in Bab-ilu alongside all his other weapons, though he often wears them on his back for easy access. He uses them as his primary melee weapon in conjunction with Bab-ilu's projectiles, and by turning their hilts ninety degrees, he can use them as Tonfa knives. Unlike his normal self's Ea, Enki has specific conditions for its release and uses most of his magical energy. It must be deployed for seven days to produce the water needed to summon floods, and on the seventh day, it calls forth the Surge of Utnapishtim, the original tsunami that washed away the world and gave birth to the legends of primordial floods.
With the release of its true name, Enki takes on its true form as a longbow by combining the twin blades, and he uses it to fire a "tracer round" at his opponent (or at the ground) for the true Enki. The actual Enki is deployed in the atmosphere, becoming a glowing spear that falls to the Earth as a Star of Destruction. Once it reaches its destination, it disperses into a magic circle, cleaving open space to summon the Surge of Utnapishtim, a tsunami that quickly and easily floods his surroundings, growing greater and greater over time to flood the entire world.
Genesis Mythology Mystic Code: Used in Fate/Extra CCC, this enables Gilgamesh to access his power when he was alive, restoring his original power back when he ruled Uruk. This power boost makes him highly resistant to the effects of the BB's Authority and her Potnia Theron, which can warp reality and many of its aspects, such as concepts, souls, causality, time, space, and others. This also grants him an immense boost to all of his stats, as he was able to defeat the Moon Cell itself with 90% of his treasury.

Power scaling
Before I powerscale CCC Gilgamesh I should tell what powerscaling is. Powerscaling is the method of determining a character's power through comparing them to other characters in their series.
The logic behind powerscaling works much that of transitive relation. In which if A > B and B > C, then A > C.
So if Character A is stronger than Character B, and Character B is stronger than Character C, then logically, Character A is also stronger than Character C.
Another way powerscaling works is through attributing feats a character performs to other characters who are equal or greater than that character as well.
So if Character A is capable of lifting a car. And Character B has proven to be stronger than Character A, then it is safe to say that Character B can also lift a car.
Although a misuse or over extrapolation of powerscaling can lead to grossly inaccurate ratings, a logical and moderate use can be both helpful and essential to properly determining one's power.
As without powerscaling and going purely by feats, many characters would end up being "Unknown" in stats or be lowballed to absurd extents. Such as Whis being weaker than Piccolo going by pure feats. Monster Garou being weaker than Genos. Or characters who have consistently been said and shown to have power on par with Planet level beings be rated as Wall level.
It is possible for a character who is depicted as vastly superior to another in a statistic to be placed in a tier above the other, given that the other character is close to the the next tier. However, this ultimately needs to be decided through case-by-case analysis.
While as a whole the legitimacy of powerscaling within a franchise should be analyzed on a case by case basis, the following is a general guide to what would and would not be accepted to scale off of in most situations.
Gilgamesh's Powerscaling
Gilgamesh is repeatedly stated to be most powerful Heroic Spirit, with his arrogance being his downfall. He should scale to virtually every other Servant due to this fact. He also scales to other top tier Servants such as Lancer Artoria and Ramesses II, who can clash with country-busting attacks, and Karna, who also has an Anti-Country Noble Phantasm.
As for his Full Power form, he should comfortably scale to the likes BB and the Moon Cell itself due to being able to oneshot BB herself.
Extra Facts
The other Servants such as Nero (Saber), Shirou (Archer), and Tamamo (Caster) reach beyond multiversal levels of power once they obtain their Mystic Code as well, as they are on the level of Moon Cell BB (although far inferior to Gilgamesh due to his many powerful abilities and Noble Phantasms).
Fate/Extra's version of Arcueid Brunestud from Tsukihime is implied to be able to defeat (or at least put up fight) against Moon Cell BB in base/no Archetype Earth. "Well even with that being said, if Berserker regained her sanity, she would easily be considered a cheat-tier Servant. Her power, “The stage is the Moon, so all targets have their power reduced to a sixth of their usual.” would be extremely useful against other similar cheat-tier Servants.
It’s a conceptual numerical alteration, so it is unavoidable when on the Moon. Even the Moon Cell transformed version of BB would be limited by it." She is being compared to cheat-tier Servants in base, which is what both Moon Cell BB and Gilgamesh are referred to as. If Arcueid entered her Archetype Earth state, she should be able to easily dispatch Genesis Mystic Code Gilgamesh and Moon Cell BB
CCC Gilgamesh power was stated to be immeasurable.
What do we call values that measure beyond infinity? Immeasurable.
Yeah everything all possibilities the concept of life and death everything they can or can't possibly exist.
:
Though it is supposed, an infinity of futures are recorded here in the moon.
Gilgamesh completely stomps all of fiction, let's go over what he has:
- Origin Mystic Code which allows him to raise his stats to whatever he wants at will.
- Gate of Babylon which allows him to access an unlimited amounts of noble phantasms/weapons with conceptual abilities at once and simultaneously fire them at you at speeds surpassing the very concept of time. This alone allows him to hit infinitely above his own weight class. Gilgamesh literally has a noble phantasm that makes dying impossible for him.
-His transcendental nature that allows him to freely move between higher and lower realities at will which is infinitely better than being able to transcend dimensions. Think of Steve from Minecraft walking into your living room, out of your computer, and flying off to Alpha Centari and that's basically what Gilgamesh can do but on a infinite scale.
-Enkidu's chains absolutely binds any target with a trace of divinity, no matter their own strength. They cannot escape the chains with any ability and that includes reality warping and conceptual manipulation, making them effectively stuck until the chains either disappear or no longer receive mana from a source.
- Ea erases targets from reality upon contact on a fundamental level, surpassing aristocratic and platonic concepts. It's described as being an "anti-purge attack that cannot be defend against at all." It is basically the act of genesis (the creation of all-things) placed in a stick, making its true capabilities unlimited in terms of destruction and creation.
-Unsuppressed Shaq Naqba Imuru makes him omniscient, the embodiment of his mentality "spread across all corners of the world as if the brilliance of the stars, seeing through all creation."
Gilgamesh stomps these losers with a spin from Ea which has omniversal attack potency.
"Performing the miracle of genesis, something that reveals creation - the beginning of everything, the attack opens an abyss capable of crushing all of creation, and the center of the storm is not calm, but rather a hole to hell itself that returns all that enters its realm to the nothingness from which it originated. The wind pressure creates a vacuum that takes all things with form, the land, the atmosphere, and the sky, into the whirling void. The tumult of genesis takes everything that was nothing more than chaos which could not form any meaning, and creates a new truth that divides and distinguishes Heaven, Sea, and Earth. Within the darkness where everything is returned to nothingness, only Ea is left to shine with brilliance like a Star of Creation amidst the destruction, the first thing illuminating the new world." Type Moon Wiki
I think we already know what this is...zgtfreak's Respect thread...
Genesis is the creation of everything (Timelines, existence itself) so the fact it can perform this miracle, suggests it has omniversal attack potency.
omniversal Attack potency means shit if omniverse in not quantified to be anything past a Multiverse.
Sorry looks like CCC Gilgamesh just stole the win again.
@tagsorwhatever: Tags.. you’re so delusional 🤦♂️ But soon I will make a Rimuru disrespect thread..
