Gilgamesh is the arrogant King of Heroes and a central antagonist in Fate/stay night, originally a 2004 visual novel by Type-Moon that grew into a major anime franchise. Saber, the knight Artoria Pendragon, defeats him in their climactic confrontation, a serious moment that fans later clipped and isolated online. Stripped of its dramatic score and context, his final strained sound became a meme on its own, shared in edits and soundboards as a shorthand for an overconfident character meeting a sudden, undignified end.
