Gilgamesh and Saber: Unrequited Love

Gilgamesh appeared as a villain in the anime Fate Stay Night. Many might hate him for ruining or attempting to ruin the life of the protagonists. However in my case, I hated the main guy protagonist, Shirou. I don’t like him and I don’t think he deserves Saber and Saber’s love. This post is about Gilgamesh and Saber but before I proceed, let me first explain why I hate Shirou so much.

I have three reasons. First of all, the way he stops Saber from fighting and telling her things like she’s a girl and it’s not right for a girl to fight is very insulting in my opinion. Girls and Boys are supposed to be treated equally, and what he’s doing is absolutely gender discrimination, and to think that he’s a very very very very very very very weak. How would he survive or rather, how would Saber survive if she relies on him?? Second, his idealistic thinking of SAVING EVERYONE, duh! And I mean DUH!! How can he save everyone when he cannot even save his own self!? Saying stupid things like “Normal people die when they are killed” this phrase is very amusing. Third, he’s not even handsome. I mean what the heck! This guy doesn’t have the attitude/character for someone to fall in love with, he’s got no looks, his magical ability is what the characters in the anime call “lame, useless, boring, etc.”, he’s a very arrogant person, thinking that he can save everyone and he’s so not good looking. Saber doesn’t deserve someone like him. *pants* Sorry to SaberxShirou fans, this is just my personal opinion anyway, I’m really sorry for the rants.

Ok, now why do I like the pair Saber and Gilgamesh? This pairing is actually not just based on looks, in all honesty. I didn’t think Gilgamesh was handsome on his first appearances, I mean compared to my dear Archer. The thing that struck me the most is his dedication to making Saber his. Ok, before you tell me that he’s not a gentleman, he doesn’t respect women or he’s very selfish, hear my reason XD. Gilgamesh is as he explained—the first hero. He is the King who had everything, that explains the infinite number of weapons he has on hand. The reason of the way he forces Saber to be his could be because of this detail. He is used to having everything that he desires on his grasp and he probably didn’t know how to express his feeling well that’s why he had assumed violence. Even though he practically stabbed Saber a couple of times, fought her with all his might, he didn’t want her to die or disappear. Remember when he said he wouldn’t kill Shirou because if he dies, Saber will also disappear. He is also well aware that Saber is a powerful servant and a King. He did not underestimate her, unlike a certain someone who talks big for someone so weak. Also, notice that he was actually happy when he was fighting Saber. I’d say, her very presence makes him happy. As I have mentioned, he just doesn’t know how to express himself well. But it’s obvious that he really likes Saber, I’d even say he loves her. I love it when he tells others not to touch Saber because she is his. And when he mentioned something like “As expected from the girl I laid my eyes on” or something like that. One more thing, on the last episode, when Saber won, he touched her face before he disappeared and said that he forgave her. That he’s not angry because he lost to her. He was actually smiling, perhaps happy that the one who won against him is the woman he loves.

Gilgamesh and Saber is the best pair in Fate Stay Night in my opinion. And if only, IF ONLY Shirou wasn’t in the picture and Saber had said yes to the proposal he made (and I mean the wedding proposal where in he mentioned something like “Let’s get engaged while you’re still sane”) Things could have turned out beautifully. Don’t get me wrong, the ending of Fate is nice, but it could have turned out much better.

Can't Get Enough of Ashido

Ashido is the mysterious Shinigami from Bleach who first appeared on episode 148. Not much is known about him except from the fact that his name is Ashido, and that he stayed inside Hueco Mundo to slay Hollows before they get to the real world to lessen the burden on the other Shinigamis. Such a noble guy ^o^

I do not read the Bleach manga so I won’t be able to state more facts about him, or if he will be coming back on later episodes since he decided to stay on the Hollow’s nest to give Rukia, Ichigo and the others time to escape.

The reason why I’m writing this particular post is because I like his character, I mean seriously… If Ichigo and Renji are inexistent in the anime which is of course impossible because Ichigo’s the MAIN character and Renji is also one of the main characters, I would have preferred RukiaxAshido, but since that’s not the case, hmm… I’ll still write about him anyway.

I’m pretty sure many are familiar with the basic details about him, but for those who aren’t familiar Ashido came to Hueco Mundo because he and his squad were chasing after some Hollows. They followed them to their territory. When they got there they continued slaying until only Ashido was left. He wears a Hollow’s mask because it was the mask of the last Hollow his friend killed before he died. The Hollow’s mask hides his handsome face but it helps him in battles, it deflects Hollow’s Cero blast and is a very good shield, unfortunately it was destroyed, the reason? He saved Rukia *mushy-ness coming up* I know he probably misses the company of others, he has been stuck in that horrible place for more than a hundred years (correct me if I’m wrong) but the point of him saving Rukia is SWEET. Oh and if I remember right, Rukia seemed to like him, like a crush or something, she was staring at him differently, she claims it was because she felt bad for him, staying for so long inside that forsaken place not knowing that the one who was causing all the trouble in the real world and in soul society and even Hueco Mundo is a fellow Shinigami. OK I admit, I could be dreaming, but hey, I can dream can’t I? Plus, how nice is it to see Ichigo jealous because someone’s getting pretty close to the girl he loves? (Although he wouldn’t admit, but I know that’s the truth).

Until this time in the ongoing series, Ashido hasn’t came back or shown himself safe and sound to the others. I still don’t know if we’ll be seeing more of him, but I hope we do. I’d want him to participate in the battle against the Arrancars and Aizen to compensate for the times he stayed alone inside enemy territory. It would be bad for his story to end on episode 150. I’m sure some more interesting stuff can be found out from him, if only he would come back to them.

Cool Type Kyouya

NOTE: All pics are taken from Episode 8 ^o^ I'll add some from other eps when I get some time

One who’s existence is a key to the Host Club’s survival, because without him their host club wouldn't earn profit, judging from the other members' perception of money, or maybe they're club is just earning money because Kyouya is there. either way he's still one of the founders of the club lol I'll stop confusing myself and proceed. Ootori Kyouya a.k.a. Shadow King. He’s perhaps the only member of the Host Club with the exception of Haruhi whose character would slide into the “sane” type. I’m not saying that the other characters of Ouran High School Host Club are insane, well perhaps a little… hmm… ok a lot, but not in a bad way ^o^.

Ok, Kyouya’s the Host Club’s “Cool Type” the reason mainly because he’s cool. He can handle different kinds of situations smoothly, always finds ways to make money, knows more than anybody in school and controls his emotions well. He obviously likes Haruhi and I mean A LOT, judging from the way he takes down notes about her, makes research, finds ways to communicate with Haruhi’s dad even to the point of his past co-workers (I mean seriously, why would he make an effort to do all those things that doesn’t give him any “merit”, unless it means something similar to the phrase “love her” or “like her”). It’s obvious anyway I don’t have to elaborate more on that.

On the ranking for the ‘one’ for Haruhi, I rank him second to Tamaki. As I have mentioned, he’s totally in to Haruhi he’s probably just not showing it. Haruhi will most likely end up with Tamaki but IF a certain something would happen, like an incident wherein he would die *hope not… definitely not* I’d much rather have Kyouya take care of Haruhi. Three things, He likes her, His father approves of Haruhi and He is Tamaki’s best friend. If anything happens to Tamaki, I’m sure he’ll be able to protect and take care of her.

But, I’m about 99 percent certain that Haruhi will end up with Tamaki, so the probability of an undesirable incident to occur is very small. If that’s the case then I would want him to end up with… No not Renge! Definitely not her!! I’d want him to end up with a girl who is familiar with his business. Someone who is rich but prefers simple living, someone who knows a lot about formalities and normal events, haha, I think I’ll be making a fanfiction for this one. Check it on my other blog Pipan’s Fiction perhaps I’ll be writing something for it, but maybe not soon since I’m still working on a lot of things.

Kyouya is my favorite character in OHSHC, well I love all the main characters of Ouran but Kyouya’s my most favorite. Nothing much regarding KyoHaru here, just Kyouya gomenasai… I’ll save it up for it another time.
