On Sparkle Being Killed on First Sight

Regarding Gilgamesh being killed on sight by Master Li.

First, the original work mentions multiple times that Gilgamesh never takes the Holy Grail War seriously. Even when enraged, he treats combat with the attitude of "using a little more effort to crush this bug." To put it bluntly, no matter how angry he gets or how badly he is beaten from start to finish, he never truly gets serious; he is just trolling, just playing around.

The various ways he dies across multiple routes in the game are all results of his arrogance. Honestly, many people only look at fgo or the Fourth War and refuse to acknowledge the Fifth Holy Grail War, which is speechless—the Gilgamesh in the Fifth Holy Grail War is the one from the original setting; it was only later that Nasu added many patches to him, resulting in his later stats.

Returning to the original question: would the Gilgamesh of the Fourth War be killed on sight by Master Li?

The answer is absolutely yes.

The reason is simple: Master Li's skill Round Mirror A has the effect of powerful concealment, hiding both presence and figure in an instant, even right in front of your eyes, before running behind you for a fatal strike.

Relying on this move, he even killed Koyanskaya, who was a Beast Cub, on sight in the game.

Since the plot of that chapter and Fate/Zero were both written by Urobuchi, Master Li's abilities can be applied directly without even needing to "let the characters from different authors fight to decide who is stronger."

Furthermore, based on this, Gilgamesh was killed on sight in the official plot within the Fourth War Singularity.

Moreover, the lineup was Berserker Lancelot + Zhuge Liang, and in terms of ambush effectiveness, that cannot compare to Master Li, who has his professional skills maxed out.

Not to mention, Master Li has a local advantage in this book.

So, is it unreasonable for Gilgamesh to be killed on sight? It is perfectly reasonable.

It is so reasonable that when I was handling this plot, I suddenly realized that if Master Li developed the intent to kill, Gilgamesh would have to exit the stage immediately.

Therefore, as a fan of Gilgamesh, I gave him some face and did not let him be killed directly by Master Li, which can be considered a courtesy to his status as the strongest Servant in a standard Holy Grail War.

If he were to be killed by a sneak attack on sight immediately upon appearing, just like in the official plot, that would truly be the epitome of embarrassment.

However, thinking about it carefully, it is acceptable; after all, he has already been turned into a shameful product by the official team, who tricked him into becoming a battery—truly the disgrace among all Gilgameshes.
