It seems that the new trend in Fate related series is ending a season with some naked Gilgamesh. Apparently they are really desperate to try and court that Kate market. They have to give that up. It is an honest effort but Kate is not going to watch a Fate series no mater how many times you undress the King of Heroes. She is definitely not going to watch anything Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya related. Maybe JUST maybe if you adapt Fate/Strange Fake but that is distinctly a Hail Mary pass.

On a completely unrelated note I did have a revelation about the various Fate universes in general that was only fully solidified with this episode. The various Fate stories are all subject to the Anna Karenina principle. The Anna Karenina principle states that, “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Every Holy Grail War that we see is broken in its own special way. Therefore the strange rules and odd restrictions in one version of the Holy Grail War do not necessarily carry over to a different version. That is why that state that only iterations of Hassan-i-Sabbah can truly be summoned by the Fuyuki Holy Grail War and any other Assassin is a fake but other Holy Grail Wars ignore that rule.

The best way to picture it is via a Table Top RPG analogy. Given the origin of the series that is the perfect tool. Overall the Holy Grail War idea in the generic RPG Core Book. It has the standardized rules, themes, and mechanics but nothing more than that. Each version of the Fate Universe is its own setting on top of the Core Book rules. They add all the characters, details, and flavor specific to that setting are in the supplemental setting. That also means that any rules that the individual setting introduces can alter, change, or contradict rules in the vanilla Core Book or other settings. They only have to be internally logically consistent. The rules laid down in Fate/Apocrypha are different that what is seen in Fate/Zero or Fate/Extra. Most of the rules are the same but each of version that is not a direct sequel or prequel exists in its own timeline where the rules broke (because they always break) it their own special ways.

Hopefully that helps both the Fate universe in general and this episode in particular make more sense.
