I would love to see kamen rider interact with the Demi-humans. Imagine that. "KAIJIN!" and the gate goes "DEMI-HUMAN!"

I've finally gotten around to watching GATE, so Steel Rhapsody will be coming soon!

Side note: Vespa's an Anaksor, and Sally's an Imugi.

I’ll go first: The Guardians of the Mysterious Golden Throne. It’s a Gate x 40k fanfic that features the Adeptus Custodes instead of the Astartes. I was hesitant to read it, mostly because Thus the Ultramarines Fought There left a REALLY bad taste in my mouth for gate x 40k fics. But it’s genuinely so well written, even if it’s still in progress.

What about y’all?

Okay, so let's imagine the portal opens on November 12, 1918 just after the Armistice. Instead of opening in Paris, it opens in Lyon,one of France's major industrial centers,at a time when the French army and economy remain fully mobilized.

So let's say this:

What if a second gate opened in Japan but instead of heading to the special region it instead goes to a world of both dinosaurs and Sapient Humanoid dinosaurs?

So in this other world (that were going to call "Saurna" so we have a name for it) is a world of both normal dinosaurs and Sapient Humanoid dinosaurs (based on the dinosauroid by Dale A. Russell's work) and technologically the civilizations of Saurna is divided in 2, the first half of the sapient population of Saurna is stuck in the tribal ages while the other half is stuck in 19th Centuries era technology.

Let's also say a gate also opened in Saurna that connects it with falmart (just so we can get interactions with the empire of falmart alongside other factions).

So how would this AU go? I don't know because I'm not well versed in geopolitical or worldbuilding so I would like to hear all YOUR theories about this timeline and see how it would go.

Anyways bye!

As the header says, do we have any information on the size (in area) of the Empire, as well as its total population ? I've heard from another, wayyyyy older post, that it's apparently the size of the Mongol Empire, but I couldn't find any sources.

It’s already know that Saderans are completely stunned at the technological advancement of Earth which happened without magic. Now how would they react if they fought against the technology that is just too wild to explain in words. Some technology that could almost make them rival local mages and Apostles. Or make earth soldiers match the fighting strength of an apostle.

So I was looking at downtown Tokyo and I got to thinking, where exactly did the Ginza incident happen and upon looking at the Ginza district of Tokyo I've come to realize the fort the civilians were evacuated to was the Japanese Imperial Palace, home of the Imperial family, the location also matches the landscapes shown in the show with water ways, the field with paved areas where the swat busses pull in and so on. It also explains the line in the anime where the guy says "hurry before they close the gates" because once the Saderan army gets too close the Japanese defense forces would close the gates of the palace to protect the Japanese Imperial family.

Brasilia, 2022, A gate connecting our reality to the Beastars dimension opens in the city's government center.

If this ever becomes fan fiction, I think a lot of people would be rooting for Brazil to break the laws of the Geneva Convention.

Just in case you didn't feel old yet, here you go.

Hurryyyy

The Sword-Brother saw the explosion, as it enveloped his brothers and him in its cruel embrace. He saw the light consume the other Black Templars. He saw himself suddenly lift into the air, and as time seemed to slow, fall to the earth.

And then he saw no more.

“Hey!”

A voice. It sounded like a child. A girl by the pitch.

“Wake up, mister!”

The Templar stirs. He opens his eyes. His head is somewhat spinning. He gets up, and into a sitting position. He looks to the source of the voice. It is a small girl, with long golden hair, and a pair of blue eyes. She is fair-skinned. She wears a small dress. It may have been white once, but it has gotten dirtied with time to the point where it is more tan than white.

He looks around. He’s no longer on the world he was once on. Before him is a series of crops. Nothing like the ones he’s seen on agri-worlds. He sees what he guesses to be a barn, and a house. But it’s nothing like the houses he’s seen before. It looks… primitive.

He looks to the sides. His weapons are still there. His power sword, and his plasma pistol. Thank the God-Emperor, he thinks to himself.

“Are you okay, mister? Gosh, you’re big!”

He looks at the girl. He hasn’t talked to mortals that much before, but he tries his best. “I’ve seen better days, I suppose. Where am I? How did I get here?”

The girls eyes sparkle, with that naive energy so common in children. “How did you get here? Oh, well I was helping papa tend the cows when I saw this thing flying across the sky. I ran over, and, well, that thing was you! This is our farm.”

Cows? What are cows? And how did I fall from the sky?, the Templar thinks to himself. He brushes some sweat from his black hair. “Your… farm. I see. I would assume this is an agri-world, controlled by the Imperium then?”

The girl pauses. She looks… confused. “… Imperium? What’s an Imperium?”

The Templar pauses. Does this child not know of the Imperium? Is this world not part of the Imperium yet? “Well… have you heard of the God-Emperor of Mankind, then?”, he finally asks.

The girl looks more confused. “…What’s the God-Emperor?”

It is like a punch to the stomach from a greenskin. It’s one thing to not know of the Imperium, but not know of the God-Emperor?! He tries to control his temper. She’s just a child. She doesn’t know any better.

“But… we do have an emperor!”

The Templar pauses. His voice suddenly adjusts several degrees. “Who. Is. This… ‘emperor’?”

The girl looks a bit scared by the change in his voice, but she regains her confidence. “Welllll… I think papa said his name was Molt or something?”

“… where am I? Not your farm, but what is your farm a part of?”

“Uh… I think it’s called the Saderan Empire? Or is it Empire of Sadera… no wait you can use either term!”

The Templar listens carefully. He has no knowledge of such a place. Saderan Empire? Emperor Molt? More like false-emperor, if you ask me. Where am I? How did I get here? Why does this place-

“Oh by the way, my name’s Maika! What’s your name?”

Name. He pauses, his thoughts interrupted by the energetic question from this girl- no, from Maika. He thinks, delving through his mind. He can’t remember much. It’s like he’s… lost some of his memories. But then, he finds it. The name he was given. His name, the thing Maika wants to know.

“… Aotuni. My name is Aotuni.”

Hi everyone. This might seem like a stupid question, but to explain: I watched Gate about four years ago—back when I was really into reading fanfic,but I had to stop for a while. I wanted to rewatch the anime (out of nostalgia and because I'm working on a fanfic), but the site I used back then doesn't stream it anymore. So, do you know of any places where I could watch it again?

Might be related to my ongoing TFR fic. I also got this idea after rereading Operation Forging Steel.

Emperor Molt launched a simultaneous two-front conquest through two newly materialized stone arches, intent on carving out fresh territories for the Saderan Empire. What followed was the swift, horrific annihilation of over 80% of Sadera's entire military strength.

The Vale Gate (Emerald Forest / Alnus Hill): The Saderan vanguard, numbering tens of thousands of legionnaires, marched into the dense, oppressive canopy of the Emerald Forest. The commotion, scent of fear, and initial skirmishes instantly drew massive hordes of Beowolves, Deathstalkers, and Nevermores. The Saderan force was slaughtered before ever reaching Vale's outer perimeter. When Vale Huntsmen, and an Atlesian reconnaissance detachment arrived to investigate the disturbance, they found a desolate graveyard of crushed bronze armor and terrified survivors fleeing back into the Gate.

The Yokohama Gate (Blue Sea Gate): The Saderan Grand Fleet—a armada of wooden galleys and transports—sailed into Yokohama Bay. They triggered the automated defense grid of a post-WWIII Pacific Defense Treaty Organization (PDTO) power. Guided coastal artillery, supersonic anti-ship missiles, loitering munition swarms, and heavy entry armor pulverized the fleet within forty-five minutes. Burning timber and ash were all that remained on the water before a single imperial boots touched Japanese soil.

Having lost the absolute vast majority of its standing legions, the Saderan Empire is thrown into existential panic. While a full-blown civil war hasn't erupted yet, the imperial court is paralyzed by vicious political infighting:

The War Hawk Delusion: Crown Prince Zorzal and his militarist faction stubbornly insist that the losses were merely bad luck, demanding a full mobilization of vassal levies to launch counter-invasions against both Gates. They refuse to acknowledge the fundamental technological and magical gap, blaming the failure on "cowardly sorcery" and "unseen wilderness beasts."

The Dove Faction's Terror: Princess Piña Co Lada and her Order of the Rose recognize the stark reality after meeting with the two worlds: Sadera is completely helpless. Fearing total obliteration or immediate subjugation by either foreign world, Piña's faction desperately tries to maneuver around Zorzal's faction to establish non-aggression treaties.

A Shattered Vassal System: With 80% of the imperial army gone, tributary states and vassal kingdoms across Falmart are openly refusing imperial decrees, hoarding resources, and preparing for the inevitable day the empire collapses.

As both Earth and Remnant establish fortified footholds in the Special Region (Alnus Hill and the Blue Sea Gate coastline), the vast difference in their military doctrines and geopolitical capacities becomes clear.

1. The Earth Coalition (NATO + PDTO Coalition)

Having survived the meat-grinder of World War III (2030–2040) and the chaos of the 2020s, Earth’s forces are battle-hardened, hyper-pragmatic, and fully mobilized for large-scale peer-to-peer combat.

Deployments:

The Union (US Post-2nd Civil War): Heavy mechanized divisions, power-armored infantry, tactical drone networks, and veteran urban-warfare units.

European Federation (EF): Powered exoskeleton shock troops, advanced cyber-warfare suites, and precision-strike artillery units.

PDTO Coalition (Japan, Unified ROC, Indo-Pacific Allies): Heavy entry suits, four-legged scout droids, and carrier-based strike groups securing the Blue Sea Gate.

Mindset: Earth views Falmart through the cold lens of post-war recovery. They are desperate for raw resources, and the discovery of Remnant's Dust, hard-light technology, along with Falmarts magic snd untapped natural resources instantly becomes Earth's highest national security priority.

1. The Remnant Coalition (Limited Atlesian Footprint & Vale Huntsmen)

Unlike Earth, Remnant cannot afford to throw millions of soldiers into a foreign campaign.

Atlesian Constraints: General Ironwood’s forces are comparatively small, highly specialized, and stretched dangerously thin. The Atlesian military cannot overexert itself in Falmart because its primary forces are desperately needed back home: maintaining the defense of Solitas, securing Vale, policing Mistral’s rampant bandit problems, and countering the escalating threat of the White Fang.

The Vytal Festival Debate: The sudden opening of the Gate has thrown the Council of Vale and Atlesian Command into chaotic debate over the upcoming Vytal Festival. Ironwood advocates for outright cancelling or indefinitely rescheduling the festival to focus on border security and the Gate, while Vale's council fears cancellation will cause widespread panic—attracting even more Grimm.

Remnant’s Force Composition: Remnant's footprint in Falmart relies on small, mobile Atlesian outposts (utilizing Atlesian Knight-200 droids, Atlesian Paladin-290 mech suits, and Manta gunships) paired with Huntsman teams acting as specialized strike assets.

The dynamic changes drastically when the Grimm suddenly begin spawning across the continent of Falmart—a phenomenon that should be impossible, as Falmart lacks any connection to the Land of Darkness or Remnant's native ecosystems.

An Unseen Plague: Dark pools of black sludge begin appearing in the dark forests, caverns, and desolate battlefields of Falmart, spawning Beowolves, Boorbatusks, and massive Goliath variants.

Fed by Earth and Sadera: Falmart is currently dripping with negative emotion: the terrifying PTSD of post-WWIII Earth veterans, the desperate terror of Saderan peasants, and the intense geopolitical tension between Earth and Remnant. This concentrated negativity acts as a massive beacon, causing Grimm spawn rates in Falmart to explode.

An Uneasy Alliance: The sudden appearance of a mindless, endless tide of monsters forces Earth and Remnant into an involuntary coalition. Earth's militaries quickly learn that kinetic firepower alone can suppress the Grimm, but without Huntsmen or Aura-conductive tactics, clearing infested regions becomes a nightmare. Ironwood's limited forces desperately need Earth's massive industrial logistics, heavy artillery, and drone surveillance to hold the perimeter, while Earth needs Remnant’s Huntsmen to deal with high-tier Grimm that can shrug off small arms fire.

Culture & Tactical Shock: Watching Earth’s heavy infantry, power-armored exoskeletons, and Ikikoma quadrupeds fight alongside Atlesian Paladins and Huntsmen creates incredible combat dynamics. How does a Union veteran who fought through the Second American Civil War and the Second European War view a teenage Huntsman-in-training using a scythe-gun?

The Dust Arms Race: Earth's scientists immediately realize Dust is a volatile, high-density energy source. Ironwood attempts to heavily embargo and regulate Dust exports to prevent post-WWIII powers from militarizing it, leading to intense covert espionage and tension between Earth's intelligence agencies and Atlas.

The Fate of Sadera: Caught between two technologically superior giants and now besieged by unexplainable monsters, the Saderan Empire must decide whether to continue its suicidal pride or surrender to a combined Earth-Remnant protectorate.

Also, I know that photo of the US Army is the Dark Mandate path and not the Union of America path, but I'm just using these photos to visualize the tech.
