The Reasons why I ship 金剣

Ahem.. welp it’s been almost 2 years that I’ve been obsessed over this pairing... and that’s the main reason why I want to contribute anything that makes this ship still working lmao. 

[Some of you may know that I recently made a lot of Gil x Saber fanarts, I also write a fanfic about them (It’s NSFW anyway, if you ever stumbled upon it, please don’t kink-shaming me, okay ;) and I have no idea how to continue it)..] 

Anyway I want to make a honest opinion about how I feel, since I don’t have any friends that into this ship but I guess there’s a lot of fellas out there that loved this pairing too :” #sadlife

I know there’s A LOT of people that against this ship, and said that this ship is unhealthy (apparently yes bcs in F/SN main routes Gil is a colossal dick corrupted by grail but...) let’s see on the other side...

Tbvh, I used to ship Saber with Shirou when I watched F/SN by studio DEEN back then (when I was in elementary school) but now I’m currently an University student that already mature enough so my taste and the way I think may altered. Without further ado, here’s my opinions:

 They look good together:  

Both of them are blonde -> (actually that’s my main reason why I liked them bcs I tend to like blonde characters regardless their gender).

Height Difference : Their height difference is about 28 cm (Gil=182 cm, Arturia=154cm). You know that every tall guys need a short girl (and vice versa) lmao.

Gilgamesh is portrayed as a handsome pretty boy (especially when his hair down) compared to Shiro (just a plain highschooler boy). All of us know that Arturia is a beautiful girl so, shipping her with Gil would make a picture perfect couple lmao.

      2.  Gilgamesh is faithful and Shiro is a two timer

In the VN, Shiro has different love interest due to different routes. In FSN he may loved saber but in UBW he loves Rin, and in HF he loved Sakura. Knowing this facts, I rather consider Shiro and Saber’s relationship just a master-servant in professional way.  He doesn’t deserve her! lol.

At the other side, Gilgamesh the prideful arrogant bastard ,King of Heroes is faithful for keeping his promise that he waited for her for almost 10 years and still has desire towards her.

      3.   Foe-Yay:

 We already know that both of them are destined to against each other as enemies at the end of F/Z episode where both of them fighting to death to obtain the grail, there’s a scene where he stabbed her leg with his sword and  propose her. It’s kinda messed up and awful in real life..but at the other side I started to think “shipping them maybe interesting” then, i checked out some fanarts and eventually stumbled into their r-18 doujinshi yum.😳

     4.  A lot of materials and Ideas

Well, there’s a TON of fan materials that involving this ship and it’s quite varied from love-hate relationships, tsundere-tsundere, foe-yay, r-18, etc. It’s depends on the situation. Infacts this pair is one of the most popular ship within fate franchise and a lot of Japanese ppl seem to liked this pairing too.

5. Their Voice Actor & Actress often playing couple roles

(source:tumblr)

Also, Saber’s VA (Ayako Kawasumi) has a major crush on Gilgamesh and choose his seiyuu (Tomokazu Seki) as a partner that she liked to collaborated with.

Bonus:

(Recently i found there’s a Japanese cosplayers of Gil & Saber that married each other and cosplaying at their wedding reception).

at comiket 86 there’s TYPE MOON booth named :

Eden on earth

starred by Arturia in Avalon & Gil in Babylon.

Also, take a look at this magazine! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

that means even TM & Ufotable themself lowkey makes this ship canon lol.

Yup these are my main reasons, it may not covering the whole thing but I just want to write something like this, I’m okay if you don’t agree with my opinions, well every person have their own opinion and their preferable ships, we should respect every opinions and once again please forgive me if my English skill is not good enough, i’m not a native speaker and I’m still learning.

Thanks for reading this. lol 😁
