The book never goes to Hyde’s point of view because it doesn't exist. Even when disguised as Hyde, Jekyll always thinks of himself as Jekyll.That’s why he names his alter ego “Hyde,” Hyde is only a disguise Jerkyll considered disposable. It's not so much of a second personality than the personality itself completely being changed. It's clear by the end of the book that he truly was becoming another person though.

So it's very clear at this point, Jekyll and Hyde had become so distinct that Jekyll couldn't predict his final actions.Will Hyde die upon the scaffold? or will he find the courage to release himself at the last moment? God knows;
I think he has Ex rank luck. He has common sense but at the same time he seems slightly off. To summarize i guess the "genius idiot" works. When I read the LN, I thought he was much dumber. Maybe he IS weird and lucky and the net actions make him look like a genius. He definitely has a good grasp on magic though. All he did was rub his command spells to know what they are. I think Waver's gonna cry.
Thanks for the translation! This is just beautiful. I love TArcher.
I feel like they have the same roots but come from a different legend. Maybe that's why Gil is not familiar with him?
I am confused totally
Someone suggested he was maybe Indian, which was my sorta thought, that maybe he's from the same era in myth, but from another part of the world, but another thought struck me after Christemo brought up Nimrod again.
While they are related (As far as I know, Nimrod is his grandfather or something?)
There's a distinct divide between the two, that while Gilgamesh comes from Mesopotamian myth, Nimrod is treated much more as a biblical figure. So the division in the 'feel' of the divinity behind it could be that Gilgamesh is treated primarily in relation to the gods of his myth like Ea, Enki, Ishtar, etc. Where as Nimrod is referenced with the Abrahamic Religions and their singular god. So that could mean that True Archer is Nimrod, but explain the difference in divinity.
It's an interesting thought.
Unlike Gilgamesh, the historicity of Nimrod is uncertain. In Abrahamic myth at least he was king of Shinar, which was the region including Babylong and Uruk. So he would have lived within several centuries of Gilgamesh.
Close enough to know something about the contents of Gil's vault, possibly.
Gilgamesh is a king of culture/technology/civilization, so his natural foil would be a king of instinct/nature/savagery?
(just throwing stuff at the wall)
don't quote me on this
Wouldn't Nimrod be the most plausible candidate? Since True Rider claims to be him being her prey and they both have the same cloth which is implausible in any legend except if she had obtained it. Though the cloth is not a replica or a successor/predecessor of the cloth worn by True Archer, so an assumption is that they are the same. My thought, like the ones said before by others, is that:
True Archer is Nimrod
True Rider is Esau
Esau killed Nimrod and robbed him off his clothes.
Or
he could be Jacob that obtained the cloth from Esau and tried to hunt Nimrod cause 1.) connection to Esau, 2.) Nimrod's hatred on God.
Wow, those statements by True Archer just puts a whole new meaning to the phrase "come at me, bro!"
Now Gil will have a taste of his own medicine as soon as that Archer fires an arrow that can rival Ea's cosmic apocalypse. XD
Not dealing with it...
Why even try?
This is golden...
But why is he Saber?
finished reading vol.1.
aside from 'true' servants, I am impressed by Hanza. he is basically YAMASODACHI cyborg executor.
one more thing, I like fake saber. such a nice guy for a king.

He is most likely True Saber though.one more thing, I like fake saber. such a nice guy for a king.
Those 6 Servants from the original version were supposed to be the water to prime Snowfield Grail and summon True Servants, so I guess Richard is the first True Servant summoned.
A blow rich with divine aura shook the earth. But it had not been a blow dealt by the mysterious Archer.
"....Eh?"
Tine, peeking her head from the rear seat of Vimana, could not believe what had transpired. Just as Archer was going to manifest the power of the piece of fabric that seemed to be his noble phantasm, a horse appeared from out of nowhere, and the girl riding on it dismounted behind Archer.
She looked to be from 16 to around 18 years of age, at the very least not over 20. Her long hair was kept neatly bundled to the back of her head, and her lively peach-colored body was dressed in a unique style of clothing of soft cloth and leather. She gave off an energetic impression on whole and approached Archer from behind with a cool face and without making a sound.
"....?"
Noticing that Gilgamesh furrowed his brows, Archer was about to turn around when suddenly the girl’s fist deeply dug into the covered part of his face. A sound that could only be from an explosion boomed, Archer's body being propelled like a cannon shell. His body smashed deep into the wall of a different hill, and the small hil in turn then began to collapse.
After a brief silence, a simple fact dominated the air. The fact that the man whom Gilgamesh's volleys of noble phantasms from Gate of Babylon could do nothing to was sent flying by this girl's thin arm.
The girl glared with immense hate at the debris where Archer was buried, then flicking a glance over to Tine and Gilgamesh behind her, she said, "That scum is my prey. Don't interfere."
Some time passed before, Gilgamesh opened his mouth, eyes narrowed.
“…This is exactly what is called spoiling the mood, girl.”
Tine judged that Gilgamesh was clearly displeased from his tone. He had every right to be angry, for the battle that had excited him had been interrupted. Not only that, but it had been the second time since the first day that someone had ruined his fight.
In this precarious situation, Tine thought to at least probe into the girl’s identity. But one thing threw her into deep confusion. The girl in front of her had around her arm the same piece of fabric as the noble phantasm-seeming fabric wrapped around Archer's arm. Not only was the pattern no different, but even the thick divine aura that shook the air was completely the same.
Could it be the same noble phantasm?
While Tine was in confusion and Gilgamesh was quietly fuming, the debris of the collapsed hill flew to all sides like from a volcano eruption following a great thundering sound.
It was a grail war intertwined with true and fake. The strong gathered to this land, and the destiny of the holy grail was about to be further mired in the mud of chaos.
That's the last part of the True Archer bit.
