Year Showa 35(1960) Ukiya Family residence.
When are your family moving?
Next week. . .
You know. . .
Umm. . .
It's. . . .
Shun! We're leaving now!
I'll see you again sometime.
W, wait!!!
You know, Shun-kun. . .
I. . .
Umm. . .
Always liked you!!!!
I'm sorry Rurippe.
I actually like Miyu-chan better. . .
Because, unlike you, Miyu chan. . .
Doesn't have runny nose all the time.
Huh?
No.
No!
No!!
NOOOO!!!!
Why does HE have to be a Gate Keeper!!!!!
Let's stand up for the peace.
Good good,
Next year we're having an Expo,
So, the economy will keep on booming.
Good morning.
You look a bit pale.
No, I'm okay.
Ruri-chan, you're putting too much yourself,
Sometimes you make me worry.
That's doesn't sound good.
If it's not mama, then its mommy.
Okay, okay darling.
Ah, I better get going now.
But it's not even eight yet.
The teachers asked me to give a tour of the school to a new transfer student.
I'm on my way, Father.
That's wrong.
It's papa or.
Papi, right?
Transfer student. . . . right?
Thank you very much.
Oh, I'll be late today.
Huh? Why is that?
Umm. . . Let's see. . .
I was asked to help out Kendo club's training match today.
So, I'll be attending a school in downtown.
Hey! We were planning to go to Shinjuku together!
Wait, come to think of it. . .
We'll buy you a new shoes,
Eat omelets at the department store, and. . .
Attend the folk song contest!
Fine fine,
I'll keep the promise.
I'm going!
Hey! Don't treat me like a kitten!!!
So, where is that?
That top secret base of Earth Defense Army AEGIS?
It's not a Earth Defense Army.
Earth Defense Organization.
It's same thing.
Welcome.
Will it be premium or regular?
Special.
Affirmative AEGIS!
Dad! That car just started digging underground!
That must be new multi functional model, sounds cool.
I'm not kidding, it's really. . .
We first noticed them around 1945.
Around the time World War II ended to be exact.
They managed to blend in with normal population.
Attacking at random all over the world.
Awesome!!!
You have YS underground!
Wow, that one even has rocket engine mounted!
I never imagined such place could exist below Tokyo!
We are. . .
This is what I call incredible, to make anyone scream "wow".
Awesome!!!
Even when you get lost here, you can just hop on one of these,
We, the Earth Defense Organization AEGIS was
Formed to prevent their invasion.
And let it take you back automatically.
Isn't this incredible Rurip. . .
You can say that we are the humanity's last line of defense.
Wow.
And now, Ukiya Shun-kun.
Wow, this is one of those artificial brain right?
One of those thing that can calculate anything.
Ukiya-kun!!!
Yes sir!
To combat the Invaders who are impervious to normal weapons,
We need those who can harness the enormous energy from another dimension.
Those who can open the Gate!
We would want you to be a part of those Gate Keepers!
We need your Gate Keeper skills.
You surprised me.
You asked for more time to think about. . .
I thought you would say OK at the spot.
But, Rurip-
Stop that!
Science Lab
I'll show you around the school now.
Don't you EVER call me Rurippe now.
Why is that?
I'm not like who I used to be anymore. I've changed
School?
That's right.
AEGIS East Command Center is located directly under this school.
Wow, so this is where we emerge.
Let's go.
Hey, hold on a sec Ruri-
Ruriko-chaan. . .
It's very clean and sparkling here.
It's so different from my school.
Could you clean those up?
Okay.
Not to mention, all the girls here are cute.
Ikusawa-san!
We're glad to see you.
Today's student council meeting was so hard because you weren't there.
What happened?
Those guys started another riot again.
Okay, I'll try to reason with them.
Just be careful that people from other classes won't get drawn into it too.
You're great Ikusawa-san.
By the way, who's that guy?
He's just a transfer student.
The teachers asked me to give him the tour of the school.
Well, teachers really trust you, Ikusawa-san.
That's not what I meant. . .
R, Ruri. . .
Thanks.
Bye!
Now, do you understand what I meant by "I've changed" ?
You're right, you've changed.
Like I said.
You seems to be over ambitious now. . .
It's nothing.
Did you hear about the afternoon clubs?
No way. . .
Well, I gotta go now. I have a promise to keep.
So, what are you going to do now?
What do you mean by that?
You're being enlisted to the Gate Keepers.
That's right. . .
If I join, I would have to transfer to this school right?
Daily commute to school is not a problem.
There's dormitory right next to it.
So, my house is too far away huh?
It's impossible.
If you were living nearby like me, it'll be okay,
And you don't know when we'll have emergency call.
Saving the earth sounds fun but. . .
You know. . .
Fun?
There's no way it'll be fun!
What's wrong with you now.
Ukiya-kun, aren't you getting little too cocky,
Just because you defeated the enemy last time?
That's what they call beginner's luck.
Do you understand?
You're just upset because I took your show.
That's not true, I'm. . .
Well, I can't help it.
My Gate Power is just too strong.
Don't underestimate it.
Gate Power isn't something you can simply control.
Hey, stop acting like a sempai all of sudden.
I'm giving you some advice!
It's not a Ad balloon? Ad Balloon: Large floating balloon used to raise an Ad banner
Good morning Kogane-san.
Fighting huh. . .
Signs of good health. . .
So, Ukiya-kun, let's finish that last argument.
He ran away!!!
My brother is an idiot!!!
I guess I couldn't keep my promise. . .
You promised me.
You're a liar.
My dad is an idiot!
Idiot, huh. . .
I did the same thing you did. . .
War is bad, bad. . .
Oh very bad. . .
You really like this?
It's okay.
I'll brag about this later to my brother.
Using anti war songs to draw crowds. . .
All you want is some attention.
If you're going to sing, at least do something like this.
War! Hurray! Go! Go! Go!
Kill! Maim! Go! Go! Go!
Artilleries! Bombs! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Horrible
That's why I don't like old people.
Success. . .
You idiot!!
What are you gonna do with my guitar!!
Initiate Operation.
Unknown signal detected!
We detected unknown signal?
Yes, at Point N-360, A-015.
West entrance of Shinjuku Station.
What are they up to now?
Right now there is a anti-war demonstration at the west entrance,
There are large gathering of young people.
Could it be. . .
I got it!
They're targeting those young people who'll lead us into the future.
Send agent Ikusawa immediately!
Affirmative, AEGIS.
Dad is an idiot!!!
It's completely rusted. . .
This is still here. . .
What should I do dad?
I broke this. . .
Main wing broke.
Don't worry, I'll fix it by tomorrow.
Really?
I promised my friends that we're going to let it fly tomorrow.
I'm sorry, I was too busy with my work.
Dad is an idiot. . .
I beg you. . .
I'm sure my design of the engine work.
Twin cam, and rotary engines are no longer just a dream.
Year of Showa 38(1963) East Youga Elementry School Graduation
Mother is in the hospital,
So, I'll go with you.
It's okay. . .
You keep breaking promises anyways. . .
This time for real.
I'll bring my new car.
It's finished?
Yeah.
Let's go for a test drive after the graduation.
Dad, you liar. . .
Anybody!
Anybody there?!?!
Are you okay?
We have injured people here. . .
Please, hurry up and get some help!
Please hold on little longer.
I'll get some help.
It'll be all right.
Help will arrive soon. . .
Just hold on for little bit more. . .
Invader!
GATE OPEN!!!
Arrow of Light!
It deflected the arrow using air pressure.
No, this isn't right. . .
If I leave them right now, I'm no different from my dad. . .
My dad who didn't care about his family, and concentrated on his hobby. . .
Just like dad. . .
Hey, Shun-kun.
You got a new car.
Yeah, new cars are just great.
Care for a ride?
Your old automatic 3 wheeler worked great too. . .
In breaking news.
Due to an explosion at the West entrance of Shinjuku Station. . .
Currently all traffic in that area is being rerouted. . .
What?!?! Shinjuku?!?!
I'm not done yet!
I won't lose.
That's right Ruriko, you can do it. . .
You overcame all those painful things in life.
You can do it!
Ceiling!
Three more to go.
I did it!
The current me is no longer the runny nose Rurippe, Ukiya-kun remembers.
Can't we go any faster?
Impossible, car hasn't been properly run down yet.
Hang in there, Saemi, Mom!
Commander!
Unidentified vehicle is moving toward Shinjuku at speeds over 300km/h
It's too dangerous if you leave it as is.
Can it be?
Ochiai-kun, switch all light on its course to green!
Affirmative.
Give it your best!
Give your it best shot Ruriko!
Dangerous energy source detected.
Saemi! Mom!
Ukiya-kun!
Saemi! Mom!
Help us!
Rescue isn't starting yet?
The rubble is collapsing!
Saemi.
Saemi! Is it you?!?!
Ukiya-kun!
Ukiya-kun. . .
Why you. . . . .
Get out of my way!!!
Stop it!!!
Stop this now!!!
Not yet! It's still alive!
Idiot!
Are you trying to kill those trapped people?!?!
That's. . .
If you misuse your Gate power, you can kill innocent people!
I. . .
I just. . .
Instead of my dead father, I didn't want to leave Mom and Saemi. . .
Stand up!
Hurry!
Did the slap hurt?
It should've hurt.
It hurts because you're alive.
If you die, you can't feel pain and everything else,
And you can't protect people you love!
IDIOT!!!
My brother is an idiot!
Liar!
I'm different. . .
I'm different!!!
I'm different from my dad who always broke promises and died!
GATE!!!
OPEN!!!
It's all right.
You're all safe now.
Mom, Saemi!
Onii-chan?
Idiot, Idiot!
You're an idiot.
If you took little longer, we could've buried alive!
I'm sorry for taking so long. . .
Onii-chan!!!
Mom. . .
Now that we're all here. . .
Let's have dinner at the mall restaurant and go home.
I want the kid's menu!
What about you?
Me too.
What?
You'll be a child forever!
Hey! I told you not to treat me like a kitten!
That's complete lie!
There's no school that'll call you for a Kendo scholarship!
It's okay.
Mom!
You've already decided, haven't you?
Besides, even if you live in a dorm, it's in the same Tokyo.
I'm sorry Mom.
But, but, but. . .
I worked extra hard to be a good girl, because you were so unreliable. . .
But when you're I'll have work even harder. . .
Don't say that. . .
Stop it! I told you not to treat me like a kitten.
Well. . .
I'll get going now!
To be continued. . .
