A Gate (ゲート, Gēto) or Inga Gate is a place or thing that has thinned the veil between the Mortal Realm and the Makai Realm, allowing Horrors to crossover.
Overview[]
Whenever great acts of negativity and malice happens, these emotions become Inga and allow Horrors to gain a foothold into the human realm. However, they take the form of a dark essence possessing an object. In order to fully interact with people, the Horror(s) usually entice a person to accept their power and force their way in before the victim could regret it. Usually the object in question is something that played a role in some form of tragedy or atrocity, such as a murder or a suicide. Sometimes the object can even be a living thing such as a kitten or a formerly living being such as a human corpse.
Gates can also be activated by being infused with Inga from other sources such as fallen agents of the Makai Order and powerful Horrors. With enough concentrated Inga, they can forcibly create a gateway for a Horror to come through without possessing a person. Alternatively, there are natural faults between the spaces of the mortal and makai realm. If there's a weakness between time and space itself, then a horror can gain entry without great effort. While the gateways can be closed, it requires a knight or priest to seal them.
Sealing a gateway often involves destroying the (corporeal) object. If a knight can identify the physical object that releases a Horror(s), then he can destroy it with his sword to prevent entry. As demonstrated by Rei (Silver Knight Zero) and Ryūga Dōgai (Golden Knight Garo) respectively, they stab the forming Inga-infused object, causing the accumulated darkness within to form a spherical shadowy mass floating in the air, ready to be cut into nothingness. When it comes to gateways in pockets of space, they merely need to use their swords to cut through the darkness to prevent an evil from fully entering through. While sealing darkness is part of a knight's job, a fully trained priest is also capable of doing the same. Using their magics, they can open and seal gateways to prevent future infiltration (as demonstrated by Ryūme).
The Disaster[]
Only referred as Disaster, it is the once-every-500 years event where a massive Inga Gate opens up and unleashes up to 100 Horrors into the Human Realm. The gate in question is opened by a massive dark elemental construct from Makai Realm which also spawns more Horror horde should the first wave is destroyed.
In Original Series, at least two active Titled Makai Knights who already have their Madō Steed are dispatched to deal the event. The Knights in question will be notified by the Order via. Black Order and must enter the gate to stop the invading dark forces. They also must destroy the construct which periodically spawns the Horrors to end the disaster. If the construct is destroyed, the invading Horrors died with it and the Gate closes soon after.
