I know this is kinda old, but as the title says, "So Suikoden 2's Black Sword Rune spell Hungry Friend actually inspired the Gate of Babylon from Fate/Stay Night, huh?" Plus, Gilgamesh's Japanese voice actor (Tomokazu Seki) voiced Luca Blight!
Here, towards the end, the Hungry Friend spell.
AND
Here, the Gate of Babylon.
Awesome.

Re: Suikoden 2 and Fate/Stay Night's Gate of Babylon
The "Rain of swords" thing was already old when appeared on suikoden.
Let's be fair, Suikoden is the kind of series that is based/gets inspirations on other things not the kind of series who inspires other
First Suikoden was "Traditional Chinese novel rippes off Guin Saga and meets Lodoss War (that at the same time is strongly inspired by TLOTR)", then it gone more or less "orginal" they found their own path until SV where they decided to rip off Heroic Legend of Arslan.
Yeah, yeah, everything is inspired in something, etc, etc, but if you check the mentioned works youll see coincidences are far more than "inspiration"

Fun fact about YouTube: You can actually add a time value to the URL so people don't have to watch a long video, jump to it themselves based on your information, or rely on something as vague as "towards the end". It looks like an internal page link, so adding "#t=3m10s" to your link will get people where they need to go.
