4. About GATE

GATE follows the story of Youji Itami, an off-duty JSDF (Japan Self Defence Forces) officer, who was on his way to an otaku event in Ginza, Tokyo, when the city is suddenly attacked by an army of supernatural creatures in medieval attire.

The source of these supernatural beings is a mysterious gate that opens up in the city’s middle. He saves as many civilians as he could, but the city is left shattered after the attack.

Three months after the accident, Itami is assigned as the leader of a task force.

The mission of the force is to venture into the mysterious land through the gate in order to gather more information about the strange land and hopefully save the world from a devastating future.
