It seems to me Gilgamesh only likes people who are driven by their /own/ ideals. If they’re someone else’s or you don’t believe in them with the utmost passion, he doesn’t like you. Example: Gil hates Tokiomi who’s after something his family has been searching for across generations but doesn’t seem overly passionate to find; he hates Shirou who’s a shadow of his dad’s ideals and a shadow of Gil’s noble phantasm. But he likes Iskander for chasing his own ideals with a fiery passion; he likes Kirei and Arturia because they struggle with their own beliefs and how they clash with those of the people around them; he likes Hakuno because she wants to live even though she’s not supposed to.

In Grand Order, Gil likes Gudao because they’re firmly determined to be /friends/ with people. Their main goal is saving humanity, but they’re gonna make as many friends as they can on the way and that’s what’s Gil likes about them: going completely out of their way just to be compassionate. That’s their ideal and it’s an ideal they hold tightly to.

Gil likes Enkidu because Enkidu challenges his beliefs and his place as king. Enkidu was created specifically to be Gil’s equal, but they don’t approach him like it’s their job. They turned up out of the blue and decided to throw hands with this stuck up douche who’s never been truly challenged before.

It’s a breaking of the status quo, of the old ways, that Gilgamesh likes. If you’re willing to do whatever it takes for your ideals and believe in them passionately and aren’t just taking them from someone else, he’s nearly guaranteed to like you. If you have true and passionate reasons for your ideals that you decided for yourself were following, you’re someone to be respected in Gil’s eyes, regardless of where your morals fall.

At the end of Fate/Zero, Gilgamesh lets Waver go unharmed even though he’s an enemy master. Iskander had just been killed and no doubt Gilgamesh was expecting Waver to fight him. But Waver surprises him instead: he says he won’t fight because he would die and Iskander had ordered him to live. Gil respects this wish because as a king he understands the loyalty and duty a vassal owes his king. He respects Waver when almost nobody else would, because Iskander respected him and Gil respects Iskander, fool though he might be.

It all comes down to loyalty for Gilgamesh. Loyalty to ideals, to people. If you have no loyalty and no passion for your ideals, you’re worthless and a waste of space in Gil’s eyes.

I know she's a main character in one of Delight Works' other franchises, but in the context of Fate Grand Order, Ryougi Shiki is just some random lady we found off the streets and told to help us fight gods.
