Ah that, well, most side material and such answer that Gil drank a bit of his Elixir of Youth (the same way he did in Ataraxia) and aged normally which is why he was inconcpicuous during those 10 years. Why was that not said in F/SN? Because it was probably thought up after the fact, why else.
And I laughed about the whole 'inconspicious' thingy because, uh, I can't think of anyone with naturally red eyes (and, if we are to believe F/Z his pupils are vertical to boot) having a chance to be inconspicious in the society even if they tried... I seriously doubt Gil, being Gil, can be bothered to actually try to be as incospicious as possible.... and considering it's Japan we're talking about, a golden haired guy among naturally black haired and black eyed Japanese people is bound to stand out whether he wants it or not. Add to that his monstrous divine and royal charisma and his addiction to alchoholic beverages (a teen drinking wine and sake by bottles is a sight to behold I imagine), and you'll kinda get that there's no way he could blend in with the crowd no matter teen or adult version.
While you bring good points please try not to forget that Gilgamesh actually has a real body that can age in Fate/Stay Night unlike the incorporeal body of a familiar he had in Zero. He had to drink the potion or he would have looked old. And well, he HAD to hid himself, in the end he was bidding his time waiting for the next Holy Grail War. And well, he actually likes Kotomine Kirei, to the point he even bothers "being Shinji's Servant" as part of Kirei's plan even though he totally despised Shinji, so waiting for a few years it's probably nothing. And last, he actually was shown in child form in the sequel.

Aaawww, poor Rider. I really expected her to win, she did deserve it with her mad bicycle riding skills. Though it still was funny.

Poor Lancer never gets a break, he always gets a short end of stick here and original series too.

The real winner was probably Caster though.

All the episodes are perfect in their own way but I think I laughed the most at this one. Berser-car ("Panzer vor!" lol), Assassin talking to his temple, the little tune of the toy lion, Rider and her bicycle, so many wonderful ideas.

The Berser-Car had me laughing. Then came along assassin, first thing I thought was "Giant truck... he brought the temple with him didn't he?". The E.T. reference was awesome. The lion jingle was hilarious, especially at the end of the race XD.

Though Rider totally should have won that.

That race was absolutely glorious! This may go down as the most memorable episode of Carnival Phantasm since its so zany and entertaining..Brilliant idea to make the Holy Grail War into a race hahaha

Its a shame that Lancer died again.. he had a freaking bad ass car too.

Was not expecting that bit with assassin driving the mobile home version of Ryuudo temple xD Well he got blasted by Bereser-car, but I could not see him winning anyway since that damn thing is so huge!

Rider being able to keep up with them on that bike was pretty cool, but of course she is going to fast and crashed.

Gil looked like a bamf on that motorcycle. He should have just used the Vimana that he did in Fate/Zero and beat everyone real quick xDDD

That was an awesome finish, Shriou wins by projecting Saber's sword huh..

That race was just too much. It was damn hilarious. Those car. Lancer pure bad luck, it's almost cute at this point. Caster escaping with Soichirou, njot giving a single fuck. Assassin random apparition and his romance with the door. Rin being Rin. Rider and E.T. phone home. BerserCar totally cheating by not following the path, but no one cares, because he's BerserCar. Gilgamesh randomly getting in other people business, AGAIN. Shirou depensing all his money to play on a tiger toy with Saber.

Yep, that was great.

I'm not sure why peeps are complaining about Shirou cheating. For me there's nothing better than a protagonist using underhanded methods to get a job done. It's especially funny here as Shirou is usually straight as an arrow.

I take back what I said about last episode being the best; that title belongs to this episode! XD I laughed non-stop the entire episode!
Lancer died again, Assassin took the motherf***ing gate with him xD, that ET reference, Berser-car, the whole thing was just gold!
Am I the only one who wants a racing game based off of this??

The race was ridiculously funny. Didn't think Saber and Shirou would win, Rider had a strong of taking it with the granny bike.

The ET ref, twinkled my fancy

This has become my favorite episode of the season so far. I love motorsports, and seeing them make Grail Wars on the track was so entertaining! This reminded me of those combat racing games I used to play with my friends.
I didn't expect Saber & Shirou to win. lol
