* [[The Ditz]]: Miyu

* [[Equivalent Exchange]]: Gates run on this. Kageyama points out the fact that most Gatekeepers have suffered some kind of trauma earlier in life. Furthermore, {{spoiler|Kageyama's own Dark Gate has, over the years, eaten most of his insides, as well as a literal arm and leg, forcing him to take extensive medication and use [[Artificial Limbs]], the reason why Yukino never ages is because her Gate has consumed her 'time', and he also speculates that Yurei Shoujo's has already consumed her entire body.}}
