Good isn't an objective term, yo. His desire to wipe out the filth that modern man became was a net good for both the world and any of mankind that would prove it's mettle by surviving. Also good for Gilgamesh. And what's good for the King is good for the Kingdom.Originally Posted by Lycodrake
The ambiguity inherent in the word "Heroic" creates a lot of confusion, some of which is probably thematically intentional. (Amusingly, the Extra translation's use of "Legendary Soul" doesn't solve the problem, because it leads to the sentence "Not all Legendary Souls are famous.")

We could always go with my dictionary and start calling them "spirits of the war dead", but that doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
We are spirits in the material world~
^ still wouldn't solve the problem, technically.
'Epic' isn't solely good unlike 'heroic' but it generally is used in such a sense, just like how people usually associate the 'ei' with 'eiyuu'. Well, that and Britain.
I am fully aware that there are evil-aligned heroes.
An Epic isn't a little thing.
What about guys like Robin Hood or Hassan, then? That was my point.An extended narrative poem in elevated or dignified language, celebrating the feats of a legendary or traditional hero.
I'm fairly certain Nasu has been clear about Hassan's not Heroic Spirit status so that one is fine.
Araya, what do you seek?
「アラヤ、何を求める」
------True wisdom.「――――真の叡智を」
Araya, where do you seek it?「アラヤ、何処に求める」
Only within myself.「――――ただ、己が内にのみ」
Araya, what is your favorite color?「アラヤ、好きな色は？」
Blue. No, ora-- Auuuuuuuugh!「青、いや、オレンジイイイイイアアアっ！」
I mean, if we use the term "Epic Spirits" (=spirits with an Epic) to describe "those" that can be summoned in a HGW (corrupted by AM or not), guys like Robin or Hassan shouldn't be eligible (since they don't really have an Epic).
I'd go for Legendary Souls, if not just Heroic Spirits because.
Like epic win.
Back in the hollow translations I did way back before Fate was translated. Thankfully, the term didn't spread.
Heroic Spirit sounds best anyway.
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.
