Rex Quondom Rexque Futurus - Kingship in Fate/Zero
Who can compare to him in kingliness? Who like him can say, “I am king!” - The Epic of Gilgamesh
There are a few things that capture my interest every time they’re brought up. One is Fate/Zero, and another is monarchy. Unsurprisingly, then, one of my favourite episodes in Fate/Zero is episode eleven, “Discussing the Grail,” where the three kings, Gilgamesh, Iskander (Alexander the Great), and Saber (Arturia/Arthur), discuss over wine which among them is the greatest king and thus most deserving of the Holy Grail.
