Noble Phantasms (貴い幻想, Tattoi Gensō?), or simply Precious/Treasured Tools (宝具, Hōgu?) in the Japanese version, are "crystallized Mysteries", powerful armaments made using human imagination as their core, and are the weapons and/or abilities owned by Heroic Spirits. As humanity's illusions, they embody the ultimate Mysteries of a hero as symbols of their existence through historical fact and anecdotes.
They can be physical weaponry (e.g. swords, spears, bows) or support items (e.g. shields, rings, crowns).[1] They can also be abstractions such as unique, often magical abilities (even close to or matching True Magic), unique (even conceptual) means of attack, curses, and changes to the very 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.
Origins

The Noble Phantasms of all Heroic Spirits are said to have originated from the Gate of Babylon, the treasury of Gilgamesh. They were the greatest treasures of the world collected throughout his lifetime, nameless, splendid weapons that acted as the Noble Phantasms' Prototypes (原型, Genkei?) before becoming the objects of faith that act as the foundations for their legends. They spread throughout the world after his death, eventually becoming Noble Phantasms.[2]
Even though it can be considered a paradox, unless Gilgamesh as the original hero possesses them, they cannot be handed down as the Noble Phantasms possessed by the later heroes derived from his legend.[3] Some abilities solely wielded by Divine Spirits like Sarasvati Meltout and Eightfold Blessing of Amaterasu are called Noble Phantasms, so it is unknown if they also fall into that categorization.

It is impossible for myths and legends to start from nothing, so they all have common points acting as the foundations that became the model for the legend. Those like demonic swords and holy swords were granted names and abilities once such legends begin to flourish in their lands of origination, but those within Gilgamesh's treasury are their forms before they were granted such through myths and legends. Those possessed by Gilgamesh are the true original models, different than those that have been renewed from older Noble Phantasms over the millennia.[2]
Though differing in appearance, renewed weapons hold similar true natures, concepts for their creation, and souls. As with the progression of Merodach, Gram, and Caliburn, all carrying the "foundation of the sacred right to select the king", each cycle of transmigration causes the weapon to become weaker. Gilgamesh claims that the "children cannot defeat their parents", with each new incarnation simply being a deteriorated imitation that cannot match the original model,[4] but Shirou Emiya claims "but there is no rule that an imitation cannot defeat the original" while taunting him.[5]
There are cases where the nature of the Noble Phantasm is not actually a true crystallized Mystery, such as Archer's Unlimited Blade Works, which is magecraft that symbolizes him, and Li Shuwen's No Second Strike, which is the quintessence of his Martial Arts. Sasaki Kojirou is a case of a Servant without a Noble Phantasm due to his status as a Wraith, but his technique, Tsubame Gaeshi, has managed to be on par with Noble Phantasms without the use of magecraftmagecraft. Enkidu is described more as a "Noble Phantasm of the gods" than a Heroic Spirit,[6] and Kingprotea is a being whose self can be treated as a Noble Phantasm.[7]
Characteristics
Noble Phantasms make up part of the existence of Heroic Spirits, the anecdotes about their prowess and weaponry all becoming part of the very "symbol" of their existence. As the "ultimate Mysteries" and embodiment of the heroes, they are trump cards carried by each to be used at an appropriate time. Most Noble Phantasms will belong only to a single hero, activated only by them, their true owners, by channeling magical energy into them and releasing their True Names.[1] There are cases as with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon which is possessed by multiple heroes, Nebuchadnezzar II possessing it by deed and Semiramis possessing it by distortion of fact.[8]
They each possess a great amount of magical energy that show them being things "outside of normality", miracles exceeding both humanity and magecraftmagecraft.[9]
Noble Phantasms represent the legends of a Heroic Spirit, in other words, it would most likely reveal their identities to other Masters if used. For example, if a Servant used a Noble Phantasm in a one-on-one tournament format in the Moon Cell Holy Grail War, the leakage of information will lead to defeat because it will give clues to the Servant's real name. It can be said that a Master winning without the use of a Noble Phantasm(s) is an excellent Master.[10]
Noble Phantasms are brought into the world with Servants upon their summoning, normally complied out of magical energy and granted the ability to materialize and dematerialize at the wielder's will. Compared to the Servants who sometimes also possesses normal weapons as well, they give off a clear level of magical energy that shows that they are Noble Phantasms.[11]
Most Heroic Spirits will only possess one Noble Phantasm, while those who sometimes obtain two or three would normally be the absolute limit, and it may be possible for some to have treasured three or four extraordinary weapons in their life.[2][12] Medusa, with three, is noted to be exceptional among other Servants, and Perseus being granted five during his lifetime is the most given to a single hero in Greek mythology.[13][14]
Gilgamesh is unique in possessing an unlimited amount within his treasury due to having all of them. No Name Assassin possesses eighteen of the nineteen Zabaniya Noble Phantasms. Perseus possesses six with the inclusion of Bellerophon in his legend, Achilles possesses five, and others like Astolfo, Georgios, and Karna possess four each. It is possible that Noble Phantasms will be granted to heroes even if they had nothing to do with them in life, such as the misunderstandings of countless people thinking Semiramis had some connection to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, causing it to become her Noble Phantasm.
Noble Phantasms are ranked by their strength and Mystery. Those called "extremely average" are around the level of B Rank which have strength able to be represented through numbers and show only output of pure physical damage. Gáe Bolg's thrown strike is a pure destructive attack, while its piercing version carries a conceptual effect, a "destiny interference type", that falls into a special category.[15]
Differing from regular attacks, even a C Rank Noble Phantasm is the equivalent of an A or A+ ranked normal attack. It is possible for the ranks to be increased or decreased depending upon certain circumstances. Gáe Bolg can temporarily be strengthened to A Rank through the use of Runes, while Clarent loses ranks from having been obtained and used improperly. Defensive Noble Phantasms like God Hand and Armor of Fafnir use the concept of ranks as a means of defense rather than the relative power the ranks represent.
Fortress Noble Phantasms are very rare, fewer in number than even the rare Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasms. Even those that own them like Cú Chulainn can only use it within his homeland of Ireland. Floating fortresses like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon are close to zero.[8] The ability to kill hundreds and thousands of people is a trait possessed by Anti-Army and Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasms, but those capable of killing over ten thousand like Kazikli Bey are few in number.[8] magical energy Normally limited to the exclusive usage of their owners due to being tied directly into their legends, the Noble Phantasms of heroes being wielded by other heroes will not normally be able to be wielded properly by them or activated with their True Names, whether stolen or freely borrowed.[12][16] There are specific Noble Phantasms like Knight of Owner and Blade Taker that can temporarily transfer the ownership of armament Noble Phantasms, allowing Lancelot to wield them with great skill and Toyotomi Hideyoshi to handle them with less skill than the original wielder but also be able to unleash their True Names under certain conditions.[17][18]
Under certain exceptions, it may be possible for a Heroic Spirit to freely grant usage of the Noble Phantasm, requiring the conditions of “being where he is making a contract, instead of being in opposition, of his own volition" and "the Noble Phantasm not requiring considerable skill and power to invoke its True Name.” Even with such conditions fulfilled, Rider of Black borrowing Akhilleus Kosmos from Rider of Red also required the respective episodes in their legends of “the giver (Achilles) where he loans his Noble Phantasms” and "the receiver (Astolfo) where he borrows a Noble Phantasm.”[16]
The most common Noble Phantasms are holy swords and demonic swords used by heroes during their lives.[19] There is no specific form into which they must fit. They can be the weapons the hero used in life, and they can be famous anecdotes about the hero given form upon their ascension. While they can be physical weapons, the act of throwing many weapons at once or a "sword that splits into an infinite number" could be Noble Phantasms in themselves.[20]
Rin Tohsaka provides several examples of a Noble Phantasm's power, mentioning dragon-slaying swords, shoes that can run far and wide, god-killing demonic swords, and Hazanken, a sword in Chinese legends able to even slice through mountains that can only be swung once. There are those like Ionioi Hetairoi that is Alexander the Great's life sublimated into a Noble Phantasm due to having been acknowledged by all as the King of Conquerors, and there are those like Zabaniya that are Noble Phantasms because of their status as that which establishes their users as Hassan-i-Sabbah rather than having been recorded in history.
Most Noble Phantasms are simply regarded as lost legends in modern times, but there are some that have remained throughout the millennia.[21] There are humans like Bazett Fraga McRemitz and Gray that can actualize Noble Phantasms that have been passed down throughout their bloodlines for generations. Others like Avalon, Jack the Ripper's knives, and the Godfelling Crossbow owned by Qin Shi Huang have remained throughout the ages and act as catalysts for summoning their wielders as Servants.
It is possible to sacrifice a Noble Phantasm for an attack that is one rank higher, which is called a Broken Phantasm: The Destroyed Illusion (壊れた幻想, Kowareta Gensō?). If a Noble Phantasm is packed with magical energy, it can be made to explode after striking its target. It is nearly impossible to repair a destroyed Noble Phantasm, and since they are the trump cards of Heroic Spirits, they are unlikely to take such measures. EMIYA is an exception, as he can reproduce as many copies of Noble Phantasms as his magical energy will allow due to Tracing, allowing him to also counterbalance the fact that all of his projections are lowered by one rank. If a Servant wishes to destroy their own weapon in another fashion, it is much easier than destroying one in normal combat. Diarmuid Ua Duibhne is able to easily break Gáe Buidhe in half without any effort.
There also exists another type of Noble Phantasm known as a Virtual Noble Phantasm (仮想宝具, Kasō Hōgu?), such as Mash's Lord Chaldeas, Solomon-Goetia's Ars Nova: Light Band Convergence Ring, and Kay's Camelot Image. These are degraded versions of Noble Phantasms used if a Servant for some reason does not know their Noble Phantasm's True Name, and are activated by the use of an approximation of the True Name made to the best of the Servant's abilities.
There exists a some of Noble Phantasm known as Great Noble Phantasm/Grand Noble Phantasm (大宝具, Taihō-gu?), such as Altera's Photon Ray,[22] Sakata Kintoki's Settsu Armor Kumano[23], Romulus-Quirinus's Per Aspera Ad Astra, Yamato Takeru's Amenomurakumo-no-Tsurugi[24] and Ushi Gozen's Ox-King's Huge Divine Messenger[25].
Activation
Similar as to how spells are required to activate magecraft, it is necessary to awaken and activate Noble Phantasms with their True Name. While something like Gáe Bolg is a splendid spear with history and itself a Noble Phantasm, it does not appear inherently extraordinary by itself, only able to display its full potential beyond the realm of normal weapons when imbued with magical energy and activated with the recitation of its True Name.[26]
It is possible to give an alternate name to a Noble Phantasm in the case of its True Name being forgotten like with Casseur de Logistille,[8] but while it will be reflected in the Servant's status as such, it cannot activate its true power without it.[27] Sakata Kintoki activates his Golden Eater and Golden Spark with those "suspicious names", while the True Names are very likely different.[28] For weapons that release a great attack, they only reflect their power upon having their True Name called, so striking with them as regular armaments will only reflect the physical abilities of the wielder.[citation needed]
There are a number of Noble Phantasms that display passive abilities that continue to function without any need to call out their names called Continuously Active-Type Noble Phantasms (常時発動型の宝具, Jōji Hatsudō-Gata no Hōgu?), such as God Hand, Crying Warmonger and Kavacha and Kundala. It may be the case that there are conditions required before Noble Phantasms can be activated, and some rare ones require materials to construct. The most common of such cases are those that still exist in the world in the present day that requires the Noble Phantasm to be obtained, while rarer cases require actual materials for their entire construction. While normally complete existences, there are those that are too large to be possessed by a single hero and those that were incomplete but still recorded in the hero's legend.[8]
Noble Phantasms that can be utilized by Masters in the Holy Grail Wars are called Master's Noble Phantasms (マスターの宝具, Masutā no Hōgu?).[29] While Avalon lacks functions as a Noble Phantasm without Saber present, Avalon can be sealed within a person to allow them to experience its healing effects so long as Saber is present. Qin Shi Huang's Godfelling Crossbow can be used by someone even without him being summoned, and Karna has shown the ability to give his armor to his Master.
Classification
Noble Phantasms are classified by their effectiveness against enemies.[30] One Noble Phantasm may have multiple classifications depending on its abilities. Along with Noble Phantasms, there are also the alternate descriptors of Secret Technique (奥義, Ōgi?) for Dan-no-Ura - Eight-Boat Leap and Mystic Sword (魔剣, Maken?) for Tsubame Gaeshi.
- Unknown (不明, Fumei?) - Due to its variable nature, Nine Lives is not given a classification.
- Anti-Unit (対人, Tai-Jin?) - Anti-Unit Noble Phantasms are those specialized against defeating other people in single combat.[10] Compared to stronger weapons, a majority of Anti-Unit Noble Phantasms will not go beyond defeating other beings, no matter how strong the magical energy or curse they wield. Artoria's Invisible Air wouldn't increase the speed of an action like chopping wood, and Cú Chulainn's Gáe Bolg, which strikes the opponent's heart, would just be a strong lance if the target is a rock or a house. The advantage over stronger weapons is that they can be compared to guns with unlimited ammo while Anti-Army Noble Phantasms are one-time missiles. Missiles are more powerful, but an Anti-Unit can be continuous like Invisible Air. There are also those that are very cost effective like Gáe Bolg, so it can be called a sure-hit arrow that is better at killing single people than a cannonball.
- Anti-Unit (Self) (対人(自身), Tai-Jin (Jitai)?) - Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm used upon the wielder instead of another target.
- Anti-Unit Mystic Sword (対人魔剣, Tai-Jin Maken?)
- Anti-Unit Secret Technique (対人奥義, Tai-Jin Ōgi?)
- Anti-Human Order (対人理, Tai-Jinri?) - The classification of Ars Almadel Salomonis.
- Anti-Army (対軍, Tai-Gun?) - Anti-Army Noble Phantasms are those with a wide enough range to be specialized against armies.[10] They are more powerful weapons than Anti-Unit Noble Phantasms, capable of easily blowing them away, but they must be used more wisely because of their larger cost. Using an A Rank Noble Phantasm takes a great deal of mana, so they must wait before they can use it again.
- Anti-Army (Encampment) (対軍(自陣), Tai-Gun (Jijin)?)
- Anti-Army (Self) (対軍(自身), Tai-Gun (Jitai)?) - Anti-Army Noble Phantasms used upon the wielder's own army instead of another group.
- Anti-Army Individual (対軍個人, Tai-Gun (Kojin)?)
- Anti-Banquet (対宴, Tai-En?) - The classification of Inexhaustible Bale.
- Anti-Beast (対獣, Tai-Jū?) - The classification of Mechanical Illusionary Method - Bull Swallowing.
- Anti-City (対都市, Tai-Toshi?) - The classification of Noble Phantasms that has enough range to potentially cover an entire city.
- Anti-Country (対国, Tai-Koku?) - The classification of Noble Phantasms that has enough range to potentially cover an entire country.
- Anti-Crime (対罪, Tai-Zai?) - The classification of Custos Morum.
- Anti-Crown (対冠, Tai-Kan?) - The classification of Noble Phantasms that are effective against Grand Servants.
- Anti-Divine (対神, Tai-Shin?) - The classification of Noble Phantasms that are effective against Divine Spirits. They are few in number, including Enkidu and Vasavi Shakti.
- Anti-Dragon (対竜, Tai-Ryū?)
- Anti-Evil (対悪, Tai-Aku?) - The classification of Lord Camelot.
- Anti-Fortress (対城, Tai-Jō?) - This rank has powerful Noble Phantasms that can even blow away solid fortified structures.[10] While the difference between Anti-Unit and Anti-Army is the variation in area of effect, Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasms are distinguished from other categories by the great difference in power. Only Excalibur has this rank in all of the Noble Phantasms of the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars. God Force in Fate/EXTRA also possesses this rank.
- Anti-Fortress (Self) (対城(自身), Tai-Jō (Jitai)?)
- Anti-Gate (対門, Tai-Mon?) - The classification of Noble Phantasms that has power capable of blowing away sturdy walls, doors and gates.
- Anti-Goddess (対女神, Tai-Joshin?)
- Anti-Intrusion (対礙, Tai-Gai?)
- Anti-King (対王, Tai-Ō?) - The classification of Alf Layla wa-Layla.
- Anti-Mind (対心, Tai-Shin?) - This classification of Noble Phantasms that targets the mind. While normally Anti-Mind, Sarasvati Meltout, within the cyberspace of the Moon Cell, becomes Anti-City and Anti-World.
- Anti-Mountain (対山, Tai-Zan?) - The classification of An Gal Ta Kigal Šè.
- Anti-Planet (対星, Tai-Sei?) - The classification of Angra Mainyu/CCC, Cursed Cutting Crater, Charitas Domus Aurora, and Loptr Laegjarn. According to Leonardo da Vinci, even if one releases the full power of a Top Servant's Noble Phantasm, it still wouldn't be enough to break an entire planet apart. Even if an Anti-Planet Noble Phantasm existed on paper, it wouldn't be enough to destroy the Earth,[31] due to the many safety provisions in place. Only creatures from outer space might be able to destroy the Earth. In order for a being from Earth to be able to accomplish total devastation, they would first need to circumvent them all.[32]
- Anti-Populace (対衆, Tai-Shū?) - The classification of Noble Phantasms that targets the people, whether they are of the masses or they are that of a civilization.
- Anti-Principle (対理, Tai-Ri?) - The classification of Prelati's Spellbook.
- Anti-Purge (対粛清, Tai-Shukusei?) - The classification of Enkidu's Enuma Elish.
- Anti-Self (対己, Tai-Ko?) - The classification of The Queen's Glass Game.
- Anti-Spirit (対霊宝具, Tai-Rei?)
- Anti-Team (対陣, Tai-Jin?) - The classification of Aestus Domus Aurea.
- Anti-Thaumaturgy (対魔術, Tai-Majutsu?) - The classification of Noble Phantasms that are meant to be used for the dispelling and destruction of magecraft and other Thaumaturgy.
- Anti-Treasure (対宝, Tai-Hō?) - The classification of Noble Phantasms that targets other treasures, potentially including Noble Phantasms.
- Anti-Wave (対波, Tai-Ha?) - The classification of Prydwen Tube Riding.
- Anti-Wisdom (対智, Tai-Chi?) - The classification of Fintan Finegas.
- Anti-World (対界, Tai-Kai?) - The classification of Noble Phantasms that affect the World itself, such as Enuma Elish. While the actual output is around the level of Excalibur, Enuma Elish's effect of unquestionably being that of the legend of "ripping the world" puts the sword in a special category.
- Barrier (結界, Kekkai?) - The classification of Noble Phantasms used to create barriers, typically Bounded Fields, but it does not include those that are also used to attack. Avalon is purely defensive, so it is a typical example of a barrier. While other Noble Phantasms like Blood Fort Andromeda may create barriers, they will instead be classified by their ability to attack like Blood Fort Andromeda belonging to the Anti-Army category.
- Conceptual (概念, Gainen?)
- Covenant (契約, Keiyaku?) - The classification of the Ark.
- Divine (神性, Shinsei?) - The classification of Child of the Sun.
- Drive (疾走, Shissō?, Dash)
- Fortress (城塞, Jōsai?) - Fortress Noble Phantasms are those that consist of solid fortified structures.
- Labyrinth (迷宮, Meikyū?) - The classification of Noble Phantasms that bring forth a Labyrinth or something similar to the concept of a maze.
- Magecraft (魔術, Majutsu?)
- Poetry (詩歌, Shika?)
- Prophecy of Future Enlightenment (記別, Kibetsu?)
- Special Move (絶技, Zetsugi?)
- Spiritual (精霊, Seirei?)
- Suicide Attack (特攻, Tokkō?) - The classification of Noble Phantasms that sacrifice the user's life like La Pucelle.
- War Declaration (開戦, Kaisen?)

Noble Phantasm.
The armaments carried by Heroic Spirits, made from humanity's illusions.
Though they generally come in the form of things like swords, spears, or bows, there are also those Heroic Spirits whose Noble Phantasms are auxiliary armaments like shields, rings, or crowns.
They are solidified "mysteries", and injecting them with magical energy while calling their true name will unleash their abilities.宝具 【武装】

Gilgamesh's final Noble Phantasm which reveals creation--the beginning of everything.
The severing of space which comes from the Sword of Rupture, Ea, the sword crowned with the name of a god from Mesopotamian mythology.
The god, Ea, is believed to be the quasi-deification of the power of the planet which turned, smashed, and stabilized the surface of the earth when it was still covered in gas and seas of magma, during the primordial stage of the earth.
Many gods began building nations after the the primordial earth was stabilized into a world where living creatures could live, but Ea is a god who performed the act of building of planet before that.
Gilgamesh's sword, which is crowned with Ea's name, changes space itself by agitating space-time through the rotation of three layers of giant power fields.
It's true power is not something to be used against a single living creature but against the world. Even among the many Noble Phantasms possessed by Servants, it is one considered to be at the top, the sword "which tore apart the world."
King of Heroes
Another name for Gilgamesh. It does not mean a king who is a hero but is used with the implication that he is the king over heroes.
The story of Gilgamesh, is who mankind's oldest hero, is copied within the mythologies of all the countries of the world. The origin of all myths, the model on which heroes are based...calling him such would not be an exaggeration.
More or less, the heroes of various myths are derived from Gilgamesh's legend. As such, Gilgamesh possesses the prototypes of the Noble Phantasms that heroes carry... the original treasures from before every legend was arranged. Though it may be a paradox, unless the original, Gilgamesh, possesses it, it cannot be handed down as the Noble Phantasm possessed by the later heroes who were derived from him.
When humanity was still small. Within the treasury of the king, who governed his kingdom and lived in as much luxury as he desired, was collected every single treasure in the world.
Inside that treasury, there is the treasured swords that saved later heroes, and there is preserved the cursed swords that stole the lives of heroes.
The reason that Gilgamesh is called the King of Heroes is here. Noble Phantasms are primarily one to a any single hero. Not only does he possess an approximately infinite amount of them, he also owns the "legends" that other heroes are wake against, as if it were natural. It should be impossible for an average hero to cross swords with him.
As a Heroic Spirit, he is an absolute warrior in battles against Heroic Spirits. While there are several heroes who hold the title of king, such as the King of Knights and the King of Conquerors, but in regards to being crowned with the title "King of All Heroes," in all of heaven and earth, he is the only one.
Friend
As he became a young man, Gilgamesh's violent disposition only grew. Of course the people of Uruk, but even the gods who dispatched him, were greatly perplexed by his violence.
"Gilgamesh is not fulfilling his original role." "That insolent creature needs someone to admonish him."
Having come to that conclusion, the gods sent a single life to the surface. Its name was Enkidu. It was a person made by a god and given her blood, the same as Gilgamesh.
It had neither a sex nor a fixed form. Enkidu, being made from clay by a god, was "Uruk's greatest weapon," able to change its shape at will. According to the god which was its mother's will, Enkidu confronted Gilgamesh before the temple of Uruk. With their exchanging of blows like a storm, their battle occurred within the city.
After that fierce fighting, they both collapsed to the ground without consideration for where, praised each other's valor, and became peerless friends.
Gilgamesh, who had been without equal, for the first time found someone he could call "a friend."
After that, while his vainglorious attitude did not change, Gilgamesh, remonstrated by Enkidu, softened his tyranny.
Gilgamesh, who had acquired someone who understood him in Enkidu, defeated the guardian of the forest and beast of the gods, Humbaba, and, as the most excellent king on the earth, took possession of every single treasure.
At this time, the dazzlingly powerful Gilgamesh was an existence that not even the gods could avert their eyes from.
A goddess fell in LOVE with this Gilgamesh. It was the goddess of fertility Ishtar. She proposed to Gilgamesh, but he quickly refused. Because he knew that how whimsical and cruel a witch who rendered men useless Ishtar was.
Ishtar, enraged by Gilgamesh's insults, as her revenge, clung to her father, the god Anu, in tears and released the greatest of divine beasts, "the Bull of Heaven," onto the earth.
"The Bull of Heaven" is a disaster of extreme magnitude clad in storms. When it appeared, a seven-year famine and destruction occurred on earth. In other words, the downfall of Uruk.
Against this divine beast which none could match, Gilgamesh and Enkidu worked together to stand against it and repelled it splendidly. Once again, the goddess lost face. Naturally, Isthar's rage had not lessened, and she requested death for either of the two of them from the gods. Because for one with a human body to kill the beast of the gods was a sin.
Ishtar's wish was granted, and one of the two, Enkidu, who was created by the gods, unable to defy that decree, slowly weakened and died.
...The sole person who understood the king, Enkidu. Just how large a shadow his loss cast over Gilgamesh is told in his lifetime afterward.
Enkidu is an autonomous weapon created from the clay of the gods. In SE.RA.PH. terms, he is close to an AI. As a result of being complete from birth, he neither grows nor evolves. He could take various forms as needed, but it is said his usual appearance was that of a 16-year-old person who could be seen as a girl or a boy with long hair which faintly shines a light-green color.01 - 『天地乖離す開闢の星』
開闢―――すべての始まりを示す、ギルガメッシュの最終宝具。
メソポタミア神話における神の名を冠した剣、乖離剣エアによる空間切断。
エア神はまだ地球が原始状態だった頃、マグマの海とガスとに覆われた地表を回し、砕き、
安定させた星の力が擬神化したものとされる。
多くの神は原始地球が安定し生命が住まう世界となった後で国造りを始めるが、
エアはその以前、星造りを行った一神とされる。
エアの名を冠したギルガメッシュの剣は、三層の巨大な力場を回転させる事で時空流を起こし、
空間そのものを変動させる。
その真の威力は一個の生命相手に用いるものではなく、世界を相手に用いるものだ。
サーヴァントたちが持つ数ある宝具の中でも頂点の一つとされる、“世界を切り裂いた”剣である。
02 - 英雄王
ギルガメッシュの異名。
英雄の王、という意味ではなく、英雄たちの王、という意味合いで用いられる。
人類最古の英雄であるギルガメッシュの物語は、世界各国の神話に模倣された。
あらゆる神話の原典、英雄たちのモデル……と言っても過言ではないだろう。
大なり小なり、様々な神話の英雄たちはギルガメッシュ伝説から派生したものだ。
であるなら、ギルガメッシュは英雄たちが持つ宝具の原型……各神話ごとにアレンジされる前の、
大本の宝を所持している事になる。
逆説ではあるが、原典であるギルガメッシュが持っていなければ、発展系であるその後の英雄たちの手に
宝具は伝わらないからである。
まだ人類が少なかった頃。王国を治め、贅沢を欲しいままにした王の蔵には
世界中のありとあらゆる財宝が集められた。
その蔵には後の英雄たちを助けた宝剣の原典があり、英雄たちの命を奪った魔剣の原典も貯蔵されている。
ギルガメッシュが英雄王と呼ばれる由縁はここにある。
宝具とは本来、ひとりの英雄にひとつのもの。
それをほぼ無限に所持しているばかりか、彼は英雄たちが苦手とする“伝説”さえ当然のように所持しているのだ。
並の英霊に太刀打ちできる筈がない。
英霊にして、対英霊戦における絶対強者。
騎士たちの王、征服する王、と王の称号を持つ英雄は数あれど、“全ての英雄たちの王”の名をいただくのは
天地においてこの男だけである。
03 - 友人
青年になったギルガメッシュの暴力性は増すばかりだった。
ウルクの民はもちろん、彼を遣わせた神々でさえ、ギルガメッシュの横暴さに困り果てていた。
“ギルガメッシュは本来の役割を果たせていない”
“あの不埒者を戒めるモノが必要だ―――”
そう結論した神々は、ひとつの生命を地上に送りこんだ。
名をエルキドゥ。
ギルガメッシュと同じく、神の血を与えられた神造の人である。
ソレには性別はなく、また定まったカタチもない。
神に作られた粘土であるエルキドゥは自在に姿を変える“ウルク最強の兵器”だった。
エルキドゥは母である神に従い、ウルクの神殿の前でギルガメッシュと対峙した。
両者は嵐のように刃を交え、戦いは都市中におよんだ。
激闘の末、両者はどちらともなく地に倒れ、相手の武勇を褒め称え、無二の友人となった。
対等の存在がいなかったギルガメッシュにとって、はじめて“友”と呼べるものが出来たのである。
以後、ギルガメッシュはその独尊ぶりは変わらずとも、エルキドゥに諫められ圧政を軟化させた。
エルキドゥという理解者を得たギルガメッシュは森の番人、神の獣フンババを下し、
地上で最も優れた王としてあらゆる財を手中に収める。
この時、ギルガメッシュは眩しく強大で、神々でさえ目を逸らせない存在だった。
そのギルガメッシュに、一人の女神が恋をした。
豊穣の女神イシュタルである。
彼女はギルガメッシュに求婚するが、ギルガメッシュはこれをあっさりと跳ね除ける。
イシュタルがどれほど移り気で残忍で、男を駄目にする魔女かを知っていたが故だった。
イシュタルはギルガメッシュに侮辱されたと激怒し、報復として父であるアヌ神に泣きつき、
最強の神獣“天の牡牛”を地上に放ってしまった。
“天の牡牛”は嵐をまとう超高層の災害である。
これが現れた時、地上には七年間の飢饉と破壊が訪れる。
即ち、ウルクの滅亡である。
この、敵う者のいない神の獣にギルガメッシュとエルキドゥは協力して立ち向かい、見事撃退する。
女神の面目は再度丸つぶれにされたのだ。
イシュタルの怒りは当然収まらず、彼女は両名どちらかの死を神々に求めた。
人の身で神の獣を殺した事が罪だからである。
イシュタルの願いは聞き届けられ、両名のうち一人、神に作られたエルキドゥは
その命に逆らう事が出来ずゆっくりと衰弱死した。
……王のただ一人の理解者、エルキドゥ。
彼を失った事がギルガメッシュにどれほどの影を落としたのかは、後の彼の生涯が語っている。
エルキドゥは神の粘土で作られた自律型兵器だ。
SE.RA.PHで言うのならAIに近い。
生まれた時から完成していたため、成長も進化もしない。
必要に応じて様々な姿に変化したが、基本は緑色に淡く輝く髪を長く伸ばした、
少女とも少年とも取れぬ十六歳ほどのヒト型だったという。Skills 01 - Divinity [B (A+)]
A judgement regarding whether or not one's body possess the property of being divine.
Though he possesses the greatest rank of divine spirit aptitude, Gilgamesh himself hates the gods, so the rank has gone down.
02 - Golden Rule [A]
Not the bodily golden ratio, but one's destiny in regard to how much money follows one around in life.
At rank A, it's possible to call it a soul of gold. With this Goldy attitude, even while living like a multimillionaire, he won't have any money troubles during his life.
03 - Collector [EX]
The ability to acquire items of higher quality. It's the good luck of frequently obtaining even rare items, but because it only applies to Gilgamesh himself, it does not bless the Master.
Gilgamesh is a collector of treasure. "I collected all the treasures of the earth," is Gilgamesh's favorite phrase, but that is not a metaphor. He collected and stored away a sample of all the technology that was developed during his age and sealed them.
That which Gilgamesh stored, rather than being treasure, is "the origin of the intelligence of mankind" itself. If it does not exist in Gilgamesh's treasury, then it is "something produced by a new breed of humanity, according a completely new concept," "something made from the technology of the culture born from the intelligent life from another heavenly body," one of the two.
For that reason, of course he has airplanes and submarines. The desires of the people from before Christ are not different, and it would not do for the crafts of ancient times when magic was in good health to be inferior to the crafts of the modern age. People generally realize the "tools of hope" that they dream of, and each time that occurs, it ended with them being confiscated by the king's hand.
The offensive skill Gilgamesh uses, "Gate of Babylon," shoots the treasure he collected like this like arrows. The gate to the golden capital opens, and his treasures are shot out from his treasure cellar.
This is a digression, but after the Noble Phantasms that are shot out are used, regardless of how far it has gone, it turns to Gilgamesh's treasure cellar. "Hah. I possess a Noble Phantasm which excels at the task of retrieval," says the person himself.01 - 神性 [B(A+)]
その体に神性属性があるかないかの判定。
最大の神霊適正を持つのだが、ギルガメッシュ本人が神を嫌っているのでランクダウンしている。
02 - 黄金律 [A]
身体の黄金比ではなく、人生において金銭がどれほどついて回るかの宿命。
ランクAともなれば黄金の魂と言える。
大富豪でもやっていける金ピカぶりで、一生金銭には困らない。
03 - コレクター [EX]
より品質の良いアイテムを取得する才能。
レアアイテムすら頻繁に手に入れる幸運だが、ギルガメッシュ本人にしか適用されない為、
マスターに恩恵はない。
ギルガメッシュは財宝のコレクターでもある。
“地上の宝はすべて集めた”がギルガメッシュの口癖だが、それは比喩でも何でもない。
彼は彼の時代において発生した、あらゆる技術の雛形を集め、納め、これを封印した。
ギルガメッシュが貯蔵したものは財宝というより、“人類の知恵の原典”そのものである。
英雄王の蔵にないものがあるとすれば、それは“新人類が生み出す、まったく新しい概念によるもの”
“他天体の知的生命体による文明技術によるもの”のどちらかとなる。
なので飛行機も潜水艦も当然完備。
西暦以前であれ人の欲望は変わらず、また、魔力が健在だった頃の古代の技術は
近代の技術に劣ってはいなかった。
人が夢見る“希望の道具”はたいてい実現し、その都度、王の手によって接収されていた訳だ。
ギルガメッシュが用いる攻撃スキル、『ゲートオブバビロン』はこうして集めた財宝を
矢として射出するもの。
黄金の都に通じる扉を開き、彼の宝物庫から財宝を撃ちだしているのである。
余談ではあるが、撃ち出された宝具は使用後、ほどなくしてギルガメッシュの宝物庫に戻っていく。
「フッ。回収用の優れた宝具があるのだ」
とは本人の弁。Setting Source
The demigod king who ruled over the Sumerian city-state of Uruk in the time before Christ. Not just a legend but also a real person, the king written of in mankind's oldest epic, "The Epic of Gilgamesh."
Possessing great divinity as two-thirds god and one-third human, without anyone to match him in this world, he was perfected as a transcendent being who attained everything in the world.
In his childhood, he was adored by the people as the ideal ruler, but as he grew, possible due to being treated as almighty, his consideration for the people waned, and he came to rule Uruk with absolute power.
However, simply being oppressive does not make one a tyrant, he made Uruk prosper properly, found a friend he could speak with, and in personally subjugating the phenomena that would harm the people, that heroic quality cannot be doubted.
He is the heroic figure who defeated the bull so large it was cloaked in the heavens and rendered the civilization of this fortified Sumerian city unshakeable.
The following is historical fact, which differs from "The Epic of Gilgamesh." According to a fragment of an inscription found in an archaeological excavation of the historical ruins of this Sumerian city, Uruk was a city-state that existed on the shore of Persian south of Mesopotamia, and he was the fifth king of that city's first dynasty. It obtained assets through ocean trade and subjugated the region of southern Mesopotamia. He was victorious in the fight against Aga, king of the Kish who controlled the north made strong the city-states of Sumer. However, as a result the reckless deforestation of the woods due to the building of ships, their agricultural land was destroyed.
For that reason, Gilgamesh, seeking the giant tree, the Lebanon Cedar, launched an expedition all the way to far-away Phoenicia (modern day Lebanon), fought against the people of woods, called Humbaba, gained victory against them, and brought that massive tree back with him.
Source
According to "The Epic of Gilgamesh," it seems that Gilgamesh, after the loss of Enkidu, fell into depression, his previous vigor gone.
The fact that Enkidu, whose strength had not been inferior to Gilgamesh's own, could die, was the shock that Gilgamesh received.
Gilgamesh, who was tormented over anxiety of death, finally set off on a trip to the realm of the death in search of perpetual youth and eternal life.
It was said that there lived a sage who had lived since placing a large amount of animals upon an ark before the coming of a deluge that assailed the earth.
This sage was said to be the only one of the earth escape from death and live until the present. Seeking him, Gilgamesh set across wilderness alone.
At the end of that long journey and many hardships, Gilgamesh finally managed to reach the realm of the dead. There, he met the sage, Utnapishtim, spoke with him, and in the end, Gilgamesh attained the spirit herb of perpetual youth and eternal life.
Gilgamesh came to rise above the "death" that had taken even Enkidu.
His heart's desire fulfilled, during his triumphant return to Uruk, Gilgamesh stopped by a spring. He cleansed himself; it seems he wanted to test the fruits of his labor while in perfect condition.
However. While he was bathing, unexpectedly, a snake with an empty stomach sniffed out the smell of the spirit herb of perpetual youth and eternal life.
By the time he noticed, it was too late. Panicked, Gilgamesh emerged from the spring, all that remained there was the skin that snake had shed.
Having lost the spirit herb of perpetual youth and eternal life in this way, Gilgamesh was irritated for a long interval, but afterwards, he made his way back to his own castle, Uruk.
While the Gilgamesh after this was severe, he ruled his state quietly, entrusted to to the next king, and went to his eternal rest.
Without telling anyone of the whereabouts of the spirit herb of perpetual youth and eternal life.
Mankind's oldest king of heroes, Gilgamesh. Discord with the gods, the journey for the perpetual youth and eternal life, a deluge which covered the world. In that epic is the basis of every legend.
The truth of his epic poem, which has many uncertain points concerning fine details exists on the other side of the veil of romance placed upon it by the present day.
This is another digression, but the snake is reborn with a new body every time it sheds its skin because it stole and ate Gilgamesh's spirit herb... is what is said. It seems that the way the snake goes about its life appeared to the ancient people as a kind of perpetual youth and eternal life that was not available to humans.01 - 出典
紀元前、シュメールの都市国家ウルクを治めていた半神半人の王。
伝説だけではなく実在したとされる、人類最古の叙事詩『ギルガメシュ叙事詩』に記された王。
三分の二が神、三分の一が人という高い神格を持ち、この世で彼に敵う存在はなく、
この世の全てを手に入れた超越者として完成されていた。
幼年期は理想の統治者として人々を心酔させたが、万能のおごりからか成長すると共に民を省みなくなり、
ウルクを絶対的な力で支配した。
しかし横暴なだけで暴君という訳でもなく、ウルクを正しく繁栄させ、語り合える友を見いだし、
民の害となる魔物たちを自ら討伐するなど、その英雄性には疑いようがない。
天を覆うほどの巨大な牡牛さえ倒し、シュメールの城塞都市文明を確固たる物にした傑物でもある。
◆
以下は『叙事詩』とは違い、史実のもの。
シュメール都市の遺跡より出土した碑文の欠片によると、ウルクはメソポタミア南方ペルシア沿岸に存在した都市国家であり、
彼はその第1王朝第5番目の王とされる。
海洋貿易により財力を得、メソポタミア南方地域を征服。
北方を制したキシュの王アカとの戦いに勝利し、シュメール都市国家群を堅固なものとした。
だが船建築の材料として森林を乱伐した結果、農地を荒廃させてしまう。
そのため、ギルガメシュは巨木のレバノン杉を求め遠くフェニキア(現在のレバノン)にまで遠征し、
フンババと呼ばれる森の民と戦いこれに勝利を収め、大量の木を持ち帰ったとされる。
02 - 出典
『叙事詩』によると、エルキドゥを失った後のギルガメッシュは暗く落ちこみ、かつての勢いは無くなったとされる。
自分に勝るとも劣らない力を持つエルキドゥですら死ぬ、という事実にギルガメッシュは衝撃を受けた。
“死”の不安に苛まれたギルガメッシュは、ついには不老不死を求めて冥界へと旅立つ事になった。
そこにはかつて、地上を襲った大津波を前に多くの動物たちを箱船に乗せて生き延びた老人がいるという。
地上でただひとり死から逃れ、また、今も生き続けるという賢人。
彼を求めて、ギルガメッシュは単身で荒野に旅立った。
長い旅路、数多の苦難の末、ギルガメッシュはついに冥界に辿り着く。
そこでナピュシテムという老人と出会い、語り、彼はついに不老不死の霊草を手に入れた。
エルキドゥを奪った“死”すら、ギルガメッシュは超越する事になったのだ。
◆
念願叶い、ウルクに凱旋する途中、ギルガメッシュは泉に立ち寄った。
身を清め、己が成果を万全の状態で試そうとしたのだろう。
しかし。
その水浴びをしている最中、たまたま腹を空かせていた蛇が不老不死の霊草の匂いをかぎつけた。
気がついた時にはすべてが手遅れ。
あわてて泉から出るギルガメッシュだが、そこには脱皮した蛇の抜け殻だけが残されていた。
こうして不老不死の霊草を失い、ギルガメッシュは長く焦燥したあと、己が居城であるウルクへの帰路についた。
その後のギルガメッシュは苛烈さこそあるものの穏やかに国を治め、次の王に都市を委ねて永眠した。
不老不死の霊草の在処を、誰にも話さないままで。
◆
人類最古の英雄王、ギルガメッシュ。
神との確執、不老不死を求める旅、世界を覆う大洪水。
その叙事詩にはあらゆる神話の原形がある。
こまかなところで疑問点の多い彼の叙事詩の真相は、いま以て浪漫のベールの向こう側にある。
また余談だが、蛇が脱皮する度に新しい体に生まれ変わるのはギルガメッシュの霊草をかすめ飲んだから……とも言われている。
古代人は蛇の在り方に、人間にはない不老不死を見たという事だろう。 - ↑ Fate/stay night - Fate route - Day 14: moonlight (I) - What I want to protect

[] Fate/Side Material - Encyclopedia: Rider [Servant], p.077 [T] Rider [Servant]
Heroic Spirit of the mount. A type of Servant that requires high maneuverability, and tends to possess strong Noble Phantasms.
The Rider in the story is no exception, riding Pegasus and making full use of its charging power in battle.
Of course, Rider herself is also a unique Heroic Spirit, and the number of skills and Noble Phantasms she has is particularly high even amongst the Servants.
She is taciturn and lacks self-assertiveness, but that doesn't mean she is apathetic toward her surroundings. Rather, she's the kind of person that worries about things from every conceivable angle but hides it behind a perfect poker face.
Though parts of her personality are quite similar to Sakura's, Sakura is a commoner while Rider is more of a high-born type. Even her demeanor and tone of speech have a sort of high-class strictness to them.
With the complex she has about her own height and the way she gets embarrassed when people see her mystic eyes, she might actually be pretty lady-like.
Because of her outward appearance and primary weapon, a lot of people thought she was going to be an Assassin class Servant before the game came out, but nope, she's a Rider!
I really wanted to have a scene in the Sakura route where she and Saber bickered with each other as they fought toward a common goal, but unfortunately the story didn't develop in that direction and I had to discard the idea.
Incidentally, the lewd dream on the fifth day of the Sakura route was Rider's doing.
She is not a Dead Apostle (vampire), but she is a bloodsucker. For her, the most efficient, luscious way of gaining magical energy is drinking blood.ライダー【サーヴァント】
騎兵の英霊。高い機動性が求められ、強力な宝具を保有するサーヴァントタイプ。
本騙のライダーも天馬に騎乗し、その突進力に物を言わせた戦闘を得意とする。
ライダー自身も特殊な英霊で、保有スキル、宝具数はサーヴァントの中でもで一、二を争う。
無口で自己主張をしないライダーだが、周囲に無関心という訳ではない。むしろ色々考えすぎる性格なのだがポーカーフェイスで隠している。
性格的に桜と似たところがあるが、桜が庶民なのに対してライダーはお嬢さまタイプ。物腰や口調も、上流階級っぽい厳しさが感じられる。
自分の長身がコンプレックスだったり、魔眼を見られると恥かしがったりするあたり、奥ゆかしい人なのかも。
その外見と武器からゲーム発売前は「アサシンでは?」 と予想されていたが、正体はまさかのライダーでした。ニヤリ。
桜ルー卜では馬が合わないセイパーと文句を言い合いつつ共闘する、というシーンをやりたかったのですが、物語上没になりましたとさ。

[] Fate/Apocrypha material - Encyclopedia: The Azure Sky Enclosing this Small World [Noble Phantasm], p.153-154 [T] The Miniature World Enclosed by the Azure Sky [Noble Phantasm]
Akhilleus Kosmos. Achilles’ trump card which protects the wielder by deploying a miniature world. A divine armament created by the hands of the blacksmith god Hephaestus. It can event against nearly any attack, whether it be from an Anti-Unit, Anti-Army, Anti-Fortress or even Anti-Country Noble Phantasm. However, due to this Noble Phantasm’s nature, it is weak against Anti-World Noble Phantasms alone.
A description of this shield appears in a hundred lines of text in Book 18 of the “Illiad”. Hephaestus reproduced the world he lived in itself in miniature form in this shield.
In the light novel, Achilles doesn’t use it himself, gave it over to Astolfo for him to use. Naturally, transferring Noble Phantasms would normally never happen in a regular Holy Grail War. Even in the Great Holy Grail War, it would normally be unthinkable.
In the first place, most Noble Phantasms are tied to the legends of heroes. Even if you were to borrow Gae Bolg from the blue spearman, that doesn’t mean you would be able to activate Gae Bolg.
However, there are exceptions. In this case, in addition to the necessary conditions of “being where he is making a contract, instead of being in opposition, of his own volition” and the Noble Phantasm “not requiring considerable skill and power to invoke its true name”, it is believed that the transfer of the Noble Phantasm went smoothly because there is “an episode in the legend of the giver (Achilles) where he loans his Noble Phantasms” and “an episode in the legend of the receiver (Astolfo) where he borrows a Noble Phantasm”.
In addition, when Achilles alone wields it, this shield can be used to “attack” as well. After deploying the Noble Phantasm, he would aim to crush the enemy with that miniature world by continuously pushing forward. Most likely, Hephaestus never thought of such a method of using it.蒼天囲みし小世界【宝具】

He is one of Yorimitsu's " Four Heavenly Kings". His childhood name, Kintarou, is famous. He is wild and arrogant, but firm and righteous. As he is particularly kind to mothers and children, he is a hero to all children. His mentality is that of an average grade schooler. Being summoned in the modern age, he quickly adopted popular habits. He likes flashy things and loves shining things; he absolutely adores gold. He says "gold" and "golden" a lot about everything. He is very bad at love, which is his biggest weak point.

Legend
There are many legends about him, but no historical records to support them. He is the son of Raijin as a red dragon, and his mother is a cannibal mountain witch living on Mount Ashigara. Kintoki was raised with the strength of a monster, fighting and killing beasts in the mountain. Eventually, his mother, an ogress, was vanquished by Usui Sadamitsu, but Kintoki, taken to Minamoto no Yorimitsu, was taught the way of man, and became his retainer. He participated in many hunts for demons as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Yorimitsu. He is famous for the episode of the battle against Shuten-douji on Ooe-yama, where he disguised himself as mountain priest, drugged Shuten-douji's alcohol and struck him down. In that episode, he fell in love with the demon Shuten-douji disguised as a beautiful girl, and then had to carry this burden for the rest of his life.

Skill
- Mad Enhancement: E
Normally does not receive the benefits of Mad Enhancement. In exchange, he retains a normal capacity to think. A Luck Check is performed whenever damage is received, failure results in him going wild and Stats excepting MGI and LCK being raised. On that occasion, his whole body becomes red.
- Animal Dialogue: C
Communication of intention with animals that don't possess words. Since it's not like the intellect of the animals improve, very complex nuances are not conveyed. Even then, maybe because Kintoki's mental structure is close to animals, they strangely get into a mutual understanding.
- Natural Body: C
Possesses a perfect body as a living being from birth. The owner of this Skill is treated as if his STR is always Rank-Up. Furthermore, even without training his muscles are brawny and his body shape doesn't change no matter how much calories he intakes.
- Divinity: D
Divine Spirit aptitude that comes from origins as a thunder deity's son. Because his mother was a man-eating mountain witch, the rank is low. It will rarely activate as resistance in regards to the attack of Heroic Spirits that possess thunder deity-lineage roots and legends.
Noble Phantasm
- Golden Eater
A huge Masakari axe that carries the power of the thunder deity and cannot be handled without Kintoki's superhuman strength. It is loaded with 15 cartridges with thunder put into them and destructive power is raised with their detonation. Probably there is a different true name, but Kintoki activates it with this name.
- Golden Spark
An Anti-Army Noble Phantasm usage in which a flash of lightning is released from Golden Eater and mows down the surrounding enemies. It activates by using 3 of the 15 loaded cartridges. The fact that is activates with a suspicious true name is just like Golden Eater.

伝説
多くの伝説を持つが、実在を裏付けるはっきりとした史料はない。雷神である赤龍の子であり、母は足柄山で暮らす人食いの山姥。金時もまた怪物としての力を継ぎ、山の獣を相手にしては、それを殺していた。やがて鬼女である母は碓井貞光によって討ち取られるが、金時は引き取られ、源頼光の元で人の道を教わり、家来となる。頼光四天王として数々の鬼退治に参加。大江山の酒呑童子を討つエピソードが有名。この時、少女の姿をした美しい鬼・酒呑童子に恋をした金時は、大きなわだかまりを抱えたまま残りの生涯をすごすことになる。
筋力値
- 筋力:A+
- 耐久:B
- 敏捷:B
- 魔力:C
- 幸運:C
- 宝具:C
固有スキル
- 狂化:E
通常時は狂化の恩恵を受けない。その代わり、正常な思考力を保つ。ダメージを負うごとに幸運判定を行い、失敗すると魔力と幸運を除くステータスが上昇し、暴走する。この際、全身が真っ赤になる。
- 天性の肉体:C
生まれながらに生物として完全な肉体を持つ。このスキルの所有者は、常に筋力がランクアップしているものとして扱われる。さらに、鍛えなくても筋肉ムキムキな上、どれだけカロリーを摂取しても体型が変わらない。
- 動物会話:C
言葉を持たない動物との意思疎通が可能。動物側の頭が良くなる訳ではないので、あまり複雑なニュアンスは伝わらない。それでも金時の精神構造が動物に近いせいか、不思議と意気投合してしまう。
- 神性:D
雷神の子という出自から来る神霊適性。母が人食いの山姥である所為でランクは低い。雷神系のルーツ、伝説を保有する英霊からの攻撃に対して、稀に耐性として発動することがある。
宝具
- 黄金喰い(ゴールデンイーター) - 威力:中
金時の怪力なくしては扱えない、雷神の力を宿す巨大マサカリ。雷を込めたカートリッジが15発装填されており、その爆発で破壊力を高める。おそらく真名は別にあるのだが、金時はこの名前で発動させられる。
- 黄金衝撃(ゴールデンスパーク) - 威力:小
"黄金喰い"から稲妻を放出して周囲の敵を薙ぎ払う、対軍宝具としての使用法。15発装填されているカートリッジのうち、3発分を使用して発動する。真名が怪しいのに発動するのは、黄金喰いと同じ。ゴールデン理不尽。

Types of Noble Phantasm
Anti-World Noble Phantasm
The type that Gilgamesh's Enuma Elish belongs to. The actual output of Enuma Elish itself is about the same level or a little higher than Artoria's Excalibur, but it's effect which is unquestionably that of the legend of "ripping the world" puts this sword in a special category. Oh, and the rank is EX.
Barrier Noble Phantasms
Of the Noble Phantasms used to create barriers, those that aren't used for attack. Saber's Avalon, which was stored inside Shirou, is a typical example. Even if it's a Noble Phantasm that creates a barrier, those used for attacks, like Rider's Blood Fort Andromeda, will be classified in the Anti-Army category. - ↑ Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Shinjuku: Malignant Quarantined Demonic Realm - Section 9: Transforming Vagabond
