Gate Keepers Season 1 Episode 9 Break The Pitch Dark Gate

Shun is haunted by visions of the endless faces of the loved ones, struck down by Invaders. He finds it difficult to perform his duties as a Gate Keeper, which causes Ruriko to take matters into her own hands. With attacks occurring more often, and the appending Apollo 11 shuttle landing, Shun struggles to find the conviction to continue on. A new student, Kageyama Reiji, transfers to the school after coming back to Japan from overseas. A protector of women, and somewhat of a playboy, he doesn't seem to be much of a fighter. However, Reiji helps Shun to see exactly what it is he needs to do, and come to grips with this life he now leads.
