Although I'm also curious about his noble phantasm regardless of that. Noble phantasms come from the spirit's legend right? Like Arthur and Excalibur. Alexander and Bucephalus. Makes perfect sense. Now it's been a while since I read Gilgamesh, but I can't remember anything related to the Gates of Babylon, or a huge number of blades. Was it just an artistic choice to make that his noble phantasm? Because I can't recall what in the epic would explain its origin.

It's explained in Fate/stay night. To remain spoiler free, I will only tell you that is based on "He who owns everything" controversial line of the epic.
