Time is 1969.
While Japan's economy is rapidly booming,
This is the story of Gatekeepers, group formed to protect Earth from the enemy called Invaders.
For tomorrow's smile. [Asu no egao no tami ni...]
When two powers collide the fighting starts. [Chikara to chikara butsukare wa arasoi wa hajimaru]
Even if I don't see fighting as being brave, I still want to protect. [Tatakau koto ga yuki to omowanai keo mamoritai yo]
Your smile. [Kimi no sono egao]
Even if impending future may not visible. [Asue no eito fuenai keredo.]
But everyone has one. [Dareni demo aruyo.]
The tears of yesterday are not in vain [Kino no namida wa kitto muda ja nai]
For a peaceful future just behind that door. [Arasoi no nai mirai wa ano tobira no muko gawa]
Deep within your heart is locked away. [Muneno oku fukaku, kitto shimaikonda]
Let's hold up that key up high and go on! [Kagi o takaku sasagete fumidasou]
For tomorrow's smile... [Asu no egao no tameni]
You can open the gate!
Wow! So fast!!
Hey.
Be quiet, you've been screaming like that since we left Tokyo, it's embarrassing.
But this is my first time on a bullet train.
The scenery just zooms by so fast.
Geez, Reiko-san, say something.
I'm sorry.
This is my first time on a bullet train too.
We hope you had a nice trip.
We'll be arriving at Nagoya shortly.
Wow, just 2 hours since we left Tokyo.
No wonder it's called Dream Express.
Geez, calm down.
We're not taking a fun trip.
I know.
We're going to scout out a new Gate Keeper, right?
That's right.
The invaders are getting more stronger.
Recruiting people like Reiko-san to improve our effectiveness is our top priority.
Oh my...
I'm just...
But, Rurippe.
Ruriko-san isn't any better.
This is...
Eating a pack lunch while looking at passing scenery is the greatest thing to do on a trip.
That's true...
For some reason, I get hungry when I get on a train.
Nagoya
Reiko-san, where are you going?
I'll buy some more pack lunchs.
Let's see...
Nagoya is famous for Miso Katsu... but...
I want to eat fried shrimp too...
Ah, there's some noodles too.
Let's see...
I've decided!
Let me have some of this one please...
Let's Find a New Fighter!
Oh!! So that's Himeji Castle!!!
In Tensho 9th, it was constructed by Hashiba Hideyoushi.
Since then, it has been restored to it's current condition.
Because of its beautiful white walls, it's also called Shirasagi Castle.
It's often used as a spot for film and TV shooting as well.
Hey, you're right.
I remember seeing this on the historical drama.
Why are we taking a sightseeing tour anyways?
What about scout mission?
Of course we're on that mission.
Gate Keeper candidate B374
Banba Choutarou, also known as Banchou. [Banchou = gang leader]
Well, they let's hurry up and get him.
That's why we're trying to confirm his location.
Nice view, isn't it?
Can you see Setonaikai from here?
Yes, if the weather is good.
I've always wanted to see it.
Well, I'm always sick and tired of looking at it all the time.
Then, why don't you take a look at this thing right here?
Gate Keeper candidate B474 is currently located in Nagoyama.
Hey, so this guy is?
Yes.
We have AEGIS agents all over the world.
I see...
I thought we agreed to fight one on one.
Shut up!
Whatever means we use, it's victory that counts!
What's wrong with this guy?
Why is he crying?
These tears are for you...
What?
I can't tolerate those people who break promises.
And I consider them the lowest scumbag.
Which means.
You are all scumbags!!
Shut up!
Go get him!
Take this!
And that!
Space Spin Throw!!!
I got into another senseless fight...
Wait a second!
I can't let my mom see me like this...
We can't do anything about it.
We don't really know if he's a Gate Keeper.
To cover our identities,
Our commander placed a special orders in AEGIS costume division.
The Commander did?
Who are you guys?
So you're Banba Choutaro-san.
My name is Ukiya, and I'm a gang leader in Tokyo.
And I'm Chain Ruri,
I'll make you remember it.
We came all the way from Tokyo, just to have a fight with you!
What? My name even reached Tokyo?
You guessed it.
My name is even known in Tokyo!!
I'm so touched!!!
What's wrong with him?
Anyways...
It's a fight Banchou!
Wait, I refuse that.
What?
Why!
I don't get into senseless fights.
It's not because you're afraid of me?
What did you say?
If you go that far, I can't help it.
You should've come out like that.
His eyes...
Is not the eyes of those who want to fight...
He's got brave eyes...
As I thought, he's ...
You got to be kidding...
Okay! Attack me from wherever you want!
Alright! Here I come!!
Is it the Thunder Brigade again?
INVADERS!!
What's that?
Let's go!
Okay.
GATE OPEN!!!
Take this!
I thought it up while sleeping!
Shinku Missile!!!
Whoops...
Wow!
What a beauty!
No doubt about it, she's the reincarnated princess!
Arrow of Light!
Who are you guys?
We're Gate Keepers.
Ukiya-kun!
It's okay.
I can tell it from his eyes.
He's one of us.
I'm one of you?
For your sake, I could die.
Banchou,
Hachiman-sempai!
Do you know him?
HE open my eyes in my soul!
He's my life savior!
I lost!
Want one?
Banchou, you have the strength.
Don't use that strength for yourself, but use it for others.
From that day on.
I've stopped doing my evil deeds and changed myself, to become a righteous Banchou.
What's with righteous Banchou? [Banchou - Leader of Gang]
Banchou, I'm glad to see you again.
Me?
I'm currently demonstrating against Castle Industries' plan of fill the salt fields.
I would like you to help us out on it.
Abolish Salt Field Filling! Salt fields?
If those salt fields disappear...
You're right.
Salt is an important provisions for the people.
That's why I can't allow them to destroy it.
Castle Industries
So what happened on that demonstration.
Boss, we can ignore things like that.
Who cares what happens to those people.
But...
It's all right.
Just ignore it!
Just do as I proposed.
In past 3 years I've worked for you.
Have I ever given you bad advice?
Well... That's true...
It's very likely that the Invaders have infiltrated Castle Industries.
We should report this to the Commander.
It would've been better if Reiko-san was around...
Invaders are weak against her piano.
I don't think this is the right castle...
Matsumoto Castle
Castle Industries had unusually successful achievements for past 3 years...
I see...
Agent Ikusawa.
Although it wasn't planned, but...
I order you to do some more investigation on Castle Industries.
Affirmative, AEGIS!
I want to go with you too!
It's my duty to protect Princess Ruriko!
Princess Ruriko...
But!
I need to help out with the demonstration too.
I need to help the person who saved my life...
What should I do now!!!
Go with them Banchou!
Demonstration won't start until the evening.
Is that true? Hachiman-sempai?
That sounds great. Banchou.
Wait, we haven't confirmed him being a Gate Keeper yet.
Nope.
I'm sure he's a Gate Keeper.
What makes you say that?
Women can't understand this.
It's something that can be only felt by men who've met their fists.
..and their raging sprits.
You haven't met any fists...
Thank you my friends!
Of course!
We're friends!
If only Reiko-san was here...
Nijou Castle
I don't think this is right on either...
I'm sorry to ask for a tour so suddenly.
We have an economics assignments to write a newspaper about "Properly managed local industries"
So...
Where are the invaders...
What was that?
It's nothing!
I see...
Could you tell us what this place is for?
So you're the ones who keep getting our way?
What?
This is what happens when you meddle with other people's business.
He disappeared!
Who are you guys!
Invaders have appeared at the salt fields!
What about that item?
It just left our Kuchu outpost.
It doesn't work, it won't budge!
Just leave it to me!
Banchou!
Hachiman-sempai is my life savior!
And for Princess Ruriko...
I'm...
A Gate Super!!
Wow!
That was great Banchou!
It's not a gate power...
Checkmate to King 2.
Checkmate to King 2...
We've received emergency call from Agent Ikusawa.
It's here!
But how...
Yota-8 is always being transported with us.
AEGIS command makes sure that it's within 3 minute distance from us.
Alright! Let's go!
I'm going in!
It's too cramped!
Arrrgh!
Highway to Senyo is always jammed up like this!
That's it!
Everyone, hold on tight!
N..
No...
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Will you please drive safely!!
It'll break apart!
Princess Ruriko!
Over here!
PERVERT!!
No-No! That's not right!
I'm just adjusting balance!
Way to go Banchou!
Then I should too!
NOOOOOOOOO!!
I can't get married anymore!!!
That's...
Hachiman-sempai!
I came to help you!
Why did you follow us for!
GATE OPEN!!!
Ultra Whirlwind Attack!!
I got it.
Don't let your guards down!
W, why does it have to be a centipede? Of all things?
Rurippe!
What?
Why you!
I won't let you touch Princess Ruriko!
GATE!
OYABON!!! [Oyabon = gang boss]
Wow you're awesome Banchou!
I'm telling you, that's not a gate power.
Are they running away?
Donno...
I wouldn't mind if it was that easy...
That's!?!
It's trying to drown us with that tidal wave!
Shinku Missile!!
It's not working!
It's beyond my capability.
What a pity!
But I'm satisfied just to be able to die with Princess Ruriko!
Don't say such thing even if you're acting!
Only if my powers were stronger...
Sempai!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
I brought the Gate Engine.
Gate Engine?!
They finished it?!?!
What is it?
Our secret weapon that you saved back then.
Gate engine is...
A system that transforms and amplifies Gate Energies into physical powers.
And it's core contains has that main engine block that responded to Ukiya-kun's powers.
GATE OPEN!!!
Ukiya-kun!
Hurry up!
Not yet!
Sempai!
Not yet!
My friend!
Just a little more!
Ukiya-kun!!!
NOW!
GO!!!
You did it.
You did it! Sempai!
Awesome...
Good work.
It seems that he was not a Gate Keepers after all.
Hold on a sec.
He just didn't get a chance to show it today.
I'm sure that Banchou is a Gate Keeper.
No, I don't think so.
Both of you, come down.
So this is Gate Fratpa's base!
Banchou!
How did you get here?
It's obvious!
Because I'm always with Princess Ruriko!
Geez...
I think he hung onto the transport helicopter's landing gear
So you're the commander dude!
Nice to meet you!
Commander!
Commander, allow Banchou to join GateKeepers.
Understood.
Your power is still unknown, I'll consider you as a trainee.
Thanks man!!
Isn't it great Banchou!
I'm just happy that I can be near to Princess Ruriko!
No way...
By the way.
Where's agent Asagiri?
We've totally forgotten about her!
[Goryokaku]
Goryoukaku was a castle, right? [Goryokaku]
To be Continued...
I've got lots of things that I'll never forget [Itsumademo wasurenai takusan no mono moratane]
A blue gem that shines like a color of sky [Sorano iro utsushite hikaru, aoi hosekiya]
Love is not like a field where you can run around happily. [Koi no tachi hane mawaru, hiroi niwajanai]
As more and more important things come into your life, [Motto motto daijina monowo]
From yesterday to today, and from today to tomorrow, [Kinowokara kyoe kyokara asuheto]
We'll be walking together. [Bokutachiwa aruite ukuyo]
