Endurance is the Quirk Gigantomachia was born with, and it explains almost everything about him. Drive and motion feed straight back into his body as physical energy, so the more fired up he gets, the harder he becomes to put down.
An Emitter Quirk listed at activation range, Endurance is the power Gigantomachia held before he ever carried any others. It surfaces in Chapter 273 and Episode 118, with volume omake material confirming it as his native Quirk.
The Quirk converts motion and morale alike into raw bodily energy, pouring the result back as stamina and staying power. Volume notes sum the outcome up as a stamina beast. The effect scales with feeling: the more excited Gigantomachia grows, or the more fixated he is on finishing a job, the more force and vigor he has to spend.
The durability it grants runs deeper than combat. A body this resilient can hold and use several Quirks at once with no penalty to body or mind, and without the surgical remodelling the Nomu require. That property is the whole argument for his usefulness as a bodyguard, since his unending devotion to whoever he serves, All For One first and Tomura Shigaraki later, supplies the motivation feeding the Quirk in the first place.
Sustained punishment with nothing to renew his spirit will eventually drain him. The loyalty requirement cuts deeper still. Waiting on a command leaves him inactive and unable to help, which is why he failed to respond when the Gunga Mountain Villa first came under attack, and he grows markedly weaker until ordered, as when Best Jeanist's binds held him better than they otherwise might, though a sedative was taking hold at the same moment.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
Endurance is more than simple stamina; it is Gigantomachia's native Quirk, which converts motion and morale into raw bodily energy that feeds back into his stamina and staying power. Volume material sums him up as a stamina beast because the effect only grows stronger the more excited or fixated he becomes.
Endurance converts Gigantomachia's motion and emotional drive into physical energy, so the more excited he gets or the more fixated he is on a task, the more force and vigor he has to spend. This is why volume omake material describes him as a stamina beast.
Gigantomachia's Endurance Quirk gives him a body resilient enough to hold and use several Quirks at once without harming his body or mind, unlike the Nomu, who require surgical remodeling to stack powers.
Gigantomachia's Endurance depends on loyalty and motivation, so waiting on a command without one leaves him inactive and unable to help, and he grows noticeably weaker until ordered otherwise. Sustained punishment with nothing to renew his spirit will also eventually drain him.
Gigantomachia's fanatical loyalty has been directed first at All For One and later at Tomura Shigaraki, and that devotion is what fuels the physical output his Endurance Quirk provides.
