Gate Keepers

Episode 5

This time A.E.G.I.S is kind enough to bring a Gate Keeper candidate to them. Kaoru Konoe, a 15-year-old female, has manifested amazing physical abilities far-surpassing those of even the world’s best Olympic athletes. Labeled the “Gate of Pursuit”, this gate appears to be a hurdle for Konoe. Shun and Ruriko must convince her to join the Far-East Branch. Their efforts are halted when the Invaders strike the newly-opened Tomei Highway. Caught in a fight she sees as not her own, Konoe must decide whether to help the people around her, or resign herself to the belief that some things cannot be overcome.
