Line 4:
Hoping to establish diplomatic relationship with the people beyond the Gate and capture the ones responsible for the massacre of Ginza, the JSDF, under orders by the Prime Minister, takes over and enters the Gate where they dispatch the Third Reconnaissance Team to scout the "Special Region" led by 33 year old First Lieutenant Youji Itami. Itami was there when the Ginza incdient happen and luckily for him, exploring the Special Region is a dream come true since the Lieutenant is an [[Otaku]] especially after he meets some locals who are exactly like his fantasy type girls. While the 3rd Recon Team explores the Special Region, back on Earth, the major powers takes a special interest with the Gate...
'''''Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought There''''' (''Geito - Jieitai Karenochinite Kakutatakaeri''), is a Japanese fantasy novel series by Takumi Yanai.

An anime adaptation began airing in July 2015. The series went on hiatus after the first twelve episodes, which resumed in January 2016.

Line 26:
* [[Next Sunday A.D.]]: The series is set in otherwise contemporary/near-future times.
* [[Otaku]]: Youji is an Otaku and his ex-wife Risa is a doujin artist.
* [[Our Elves Are Better]]: Elven archer Tuka Luna Marceau. Also Yao the dark elf.
* [[Quality vs. Quantity]]: The Imperial Empire may vastly outnumber the JSDF 30 to 1, but they are vastly outclassed and outgunned.
* [[Reality Ensues]]: A modern military fights forces with pre-industrial technology. The results are predictable.
** While the JSDF and its "Special Region" allies are doing their jobs, major powers like the Chinese and Russians have set their sights on the Gate. And given the untapped potential of the "Special Region," neither is the US helping the Japanese keep control over the Gate purely out of altruism.
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
* [[The Stoic]]: Sorceress Lelei la Lalena.
* [[Teeth-Clenched Teamwork]]: Despite the US and Japan cooperating with each other regarding the "Special Region," things aren't so friendly as they appear.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: The armies of the Unified Kingdoms assumed they would easily achieve victory against the otherworldly army occupying Alnus Hill just because they have the advantage in numbers, thinking such a "puny army" stood little to chance against their military might. They get instantly obliterated by the JSDF's heavy artillery, nearly wiping them all out. The armies never even gotten halfway to where the JSDF were stationed.
* [[Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe]]: Justified as the titular Gate to the "Special Region" is located in Ginza. At the same time however, this drags Japan into the midst of an increasingly tense geopolitical landscape as major powers from the Americans to Chinese want a piece of the action.
