    Also you need to be factually completely useless for it to work.

    This is the reason.

    The only reason Nero can do this is because she totally believes she can.

    It's basically at the level of Spongebob being able to make bubble buddy come alive.

    Nero isnt stupid either, she just has an ego the size of the moon.Though they both have their moments of... lacking common sense.Nero is slightly less exhibitionistic than Gil though. Slightly.

    ......Nero has debilitating headaches that prevent her from learning anything useful.

    Not that I'm saying it makes her a bad character, I'm just saying it makes her not smart.

    Also, Gil has perfectly good common sense.

    He just doesn't care.

    Eh i dunno about Gil's common sense; even Nero wouldnt just get naked and expect the other person to fall on their kneess in awe of his sexy boday immediately upon figuring out he's talking to a virgin.

    Nero, on the other hand, at least needed some convincing herself that her body is a work of art and she should showcase it to show herself in that red sling bikini she's got in CCC.

    I might remind you how his actual story begins.

    I dont see what Ko-gil beeing a way better King than adult Gil has to do with that?
    Or do you mean the "banging newlyweds" thing? Theres a difference here, in that Gil seriously thought the only reason Lancer was beeing hostile to him and Hakuno was because he hadnt fucked her yet. He thought she was angry at him for not shoving it in her face sooner.

    He can do it, he just doesn't need the power of heavy retardation for it, so it's not Imperial Privilege.

    Neither was Lancer, he just figured it out with his kingly intuition for vaginas.

    Its still the power of Egomania, not retardedness.
    Well, not like Gil needs to learn any skills at all, if he needs some ability, he surely has some equipment in his inventory with the same effect.
    Wanna be a Saber? Got this Sabre of Sabers in his treasury.
    Wanna know Snake? Got this Glove of Snakes in his inventory.
    Wanna have Battle Continuation? Got this Orb of auto-revival in his treasury.

    Imperial Privilege (皇帝特権, Kōtei Tokken?, localized as both Royal Prerogative and Emperor's Prerogative) is a personal skill. An ability that, due the insistence of the owner, Skills that are essentially impossible to possess can be obtained for a short period of time. Skills available included Riding, Swordsmanship, Artistry, Charisma, Military Tactics, etc. With A rank or above, alteration of the corpus (such as Divinity) was possible. The Roman Emperor was no different from Gods. All skills converge at the Emperor. If the Emperor called white black, then it was black. However, even so, one could not acquire skills without basis. Since Saber was a polymath with ample curiosity, she had experience in most of the skills. For example if Saber decided "I can pilot a jet! It is nothing, just adjust the plane according to altitude, not too different from the jet chariot I invented!" And just like that, she would figure out how to pilot the plane. With her short attention span and headache, she would soon forget what she learned
    Literally the power of retardation.

    The highlighted part seems more like a mixture of a LOT of confidence and very good intuition and smarts. After all, it works.

    Give Gil enough screen time and he is essentially replicating Imperial Privilege at the end.

    Going back to that locked thread, presence concealment is like invisibilty in dnd where it dispells when you attack right?

    Except Presence Concealment comes back the moment you're out of sight.

    Or maybe it doesn't. Seems like the logical thing though.
    He never sleeps. He never dies.

    Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.

    Probably depends on if they hide their killling intent when they start hiding again.

    Or something like that

    Well yeah. Presence Concealment never hid killing intent. Hence Li Shuwen.
