That is an interesting bit of info
When are CGs summoned again? My previous knowledge was they're only summoned after a mess already happened basically to prevent it from getting worse. By TM dictionary its said to be in response to an event. Got confused because there has been two instance where two were preemptively summoned to prevent a situation even if the situation isnt that bad yet
Are the Extella and Extella Links English translations "good"?
Fan TLs or Localizations?
If I remember right, they're nothing special, but they get the terms across well, and don't sound crap.

Tamamortified though
That makes it a great translation
Exactly.
Is it ever explained why Kane has nonreflective eyes?
O walls, you have held up so much tedious graffiti that I am amazed you have not already collapsed in ruin.
I've always thought it's a common way of presenting a "serious" character. Cuz Himuro is "Madame" and stuff. At least that's how it is in other anime series. Peaks my curiocity though, I'll try to look into it in interviews and "materials".
Do we know when was gil born?
Fate facts:
Babylonia takes place in 2655 BC, and presumably it lines up with the end of the first dynasty of Uruk outside of the Singularity too.
Historical/mythological facts:
According to the Sumerian King List, Gilgamesh ruled for 127 years. Whether this includes the time he spent away from Uruk during his search for immortality is unknown, but let's assume it doesn't.
Supposition:
2655 BC + 127 + 10 (he ruled since he was a child, but not since he was an infant) would place his birth (in Fate) around the 2790s BC.
Some other pointless facts: In the Epic of Gilgamesh, he's pretty much a teenager when all the stuff with Enkidu, Ishtar etc happens. Talking like 17-19 years old.
In CCC Gil says his search for immortality was as long as "a length of time equal to his whole life prior". In a later text box, Hakuno says he wandered for "however many decades". In the Babylonia anime, Gil says his search for immortality was "a long journey greater than his lifespan later".
These facts don't really mesh, so I'm not sure whether Babylonia is a retcon, bad subtitles, or a mistake.
Spoiler:
Eh, doujins have been putting bigger tentacles in Saber for years.

Yeah im honestly weirded out by this. Where the fuck did the gods even go like gods already being gone in 2655 doesn't make any sense since they must be alive to have a beef with gil and the Sefar & Lugalbanda stuff is not explained either like when did Sefar talk with him or when babe finally fell like we definitely need a date chart,
I read it a long time ago but I remember that in the royal list of Ur it was said that every single king before Gilgamesh lived something like thousands of years.
The Sefar timeline doesn't make a lot of sense with Lugalbanda, yeah.
Lugalbanda ruled for 1200 years, but that still places him about 10000 years after Sefar.
Mythical time scales were always going to get pretty fucked once they tried to shove them all in one setting. Like as much as Babylonia has problems, the Indian Epic Servants have it way worse.
"We have entered an infinite recursion of Saber."

Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
Is there a detailed simpler explanation of how timelocks, adjacent worlds, parallel worlds and pruning works? I thought the wiki at the very least will provide a some foundation but it feels like i opened a can of worms
Parralel worlds: every choice in existence spawns a split/ new one, what it usually is in fiction
Adjacient world: world that are similar to one another are close to one another in the multiverse tapestry. FSN and FSN but Rin dyes her hair blond are neighbours. But FSN and Tsuki split apart in 300 AD and all the choices in between has created a wide berth in the tapestry.
Pruning: thread(energy) isnt infinite, so dead end timelines like extinction or utopias get cut out of the tapestry and recycled into thread for ongoing timelines. If you go extict within 100 years or stay a utopia for 100 years you get recycled. This makes the wide berths into giant empty spaces so people usually prefer a tree and branches metaphor. Jumping to a adjacent world is easier cuz it's the equivalent of jumping from 1 branch of a tree to another while some parralel worlds are like jumping from 1 tree to another, or even 3 trees over.
Quantum timelocks: FSN timeline and Blond Rin timelines are super similar so at decisive events the timelines past just get collapsed together to save the thread wasted on noting inane or unimportant details like Rin brushed her teeth left to right while Blond Rin did it right to left. All that matters is continued extension of the tapestry, if your choices didn't affect it, they get deleted and only the best chance to go on timelines choices get saved.
So because timelines get deleted willy nilly fanon like everything is possible cuz multiverse is wrong.
