"It's like blood in the human body. When you are injured, you can replenish blood through food, but if all the blood in the body is consumed at once, you will die. The same principle applies after the Eight Gates are opened—the body must replenish the nutrients it consumes."
"No matter how strong you are, the side effects of the Eight Gates Technique will always exist. This is inevitable. Of course, unless you possess vitality like mine, allowing you to recover your injuries autonomously during combat."
After hearing Ash's words, Emiya Shirō sighed silently. It sounded like a joke. Since the birth of this world, there had never been such a powerful human as Ash, let alone someone who could restore their vitality at any time.
"Now let me explain the functions of the Eight Gates. Memorize them first. When your Pokémon begin learning the technique, you can use this as a reference."
"Yes, Master. Don't worry, I'll study carefully."
After hearing Ash's words, Shirō set up the camera first and then prepared his notebook, waiting for Ash to begin the explanation.
"The Eight Gates consist of eight different gates, each with its own effect."
"The First Gate — Gate of Opening. When opened, it significantly increases the body's physical capabilities, greatly enhancing the combat performance of Fighting-type Pokémon."
"The Second Gate — Gate of Healing. After opening it, stamina increases to a higher level, and the body's resistance to damage rises significantly."
"The Third Gate — Gate of Life. Once opened, the body can automatically absorb energy from the outside world to replenish itself. In other words, it grants the ability to independently absorb natural energy—something normally only Champion-level Pokémon can achieve in advance."
"The Fourth Gate — Gate of Pain. Opening it activates the body's cells and muscles, greatly increasing both speed and strength. The degree of improvement depends on the user's physical condition."
"The Fifth Gate — Gate of Limit. Starting from this gate, there are risks of permanent injury or even death. After opening it, the effects of the previous gates combine together to form a much more powerful ability."
"The Sixth Gate — Gate of View. Once opened, energy floods into the body's cells and muscles, triggering a second transformation of the body. Strength, speed, and endurance increase drastically. At this stage, a unique technique can be used—Morning Peacock."
"The Seventh Gate — Gate of Wonder. Opening it not only triggers another transformation but also forces the organs, cells, and meridians to operate far beyond their limits. At this stage, the technique Daytime Tiger can be used."
"The Eighth Gate — Gate of Death. This is the most forbidden gate of the Eight Gates Technique. Once opened, all the body's natural limitations are completely removed. The energy within the body—both its density and quality—rises dramatically, while the organs and cells burn away their remaining vitality."
"After opening it, you can use Evening Elephant and the ultimate forbidden technique—Night Guy. However, the moment the Eighth Gate opens, the immense pain and the body's collapse occur simultaneously. If the user cannot endure the pain, the techniques cannot even be released."
"At the same time, as far as I know, aside from me, no human or Pokémon has survived after opening the Eighth Gate. You must remember that."
"The first five gates essentially break through the body's natural limits. But starting from the last three gates, the power increase becomes enormous."
"For example, your Hitmonlee—once it learns the Eight Gates Technique—should be able to break through the King-tier and reach the Champion level."
"A Champion-level Pokémon that opens the Sixth Gate can obtain power comparable to a low-tier Legendary Pokémon. The Seventh Gate corresponds to a mid-tier Legendary, and the Eighth Gate reaches the level of a top-tier Legendary Pokémon."After seeing that Emiya Shirō was ready, Ash began teaching. He carefully explained all the functions and training methods of the Eight Gates Technique, while also sharing his own cultivation experience. With this guidance, once Shirō's Pokémon mastered the Eight Gates, they would undoubtedly become kings among Fighting-type Pokémon.
"What! The Eighth Gate can raise power to the level of a Legendary Pokémon? Such a powerful technique—no wonder the side effects are so severe."
After listening to Ash's explanation, Shirō was completely shocked by the terrifying power of the Eight Gates Technique.
"Even though it grants the power of Legendary Pokémon, it's still a forced increase," Ash said. "In terms of endurance, it can never truly compare to a real Legendary Pokémon. Moreover, even if the Eighth Gate is opened, it can at most severely injure a Legendary Pokémon of the same tier. Killing one in a single strike is almost impossible."
"This is the true power of the Eight Gates Technique. Without mastering laws or higher-level power, it can still unleash strength comparable to Legendary Pokémon. So remember what I told you earlier—unless absolutely necessary, it's best never to use this technique."
After finishing his explanation, Ash took out a scroll. On it were the detailed chakra meridian diagrams of Shirō's Pokémon. Ash had copied them earlier using his Sharingan.
"These meridian diagrams must be memorized completely. Not only you, but your Pokémon must also memorize their own meridian pathways perfectly. After that, burn these scrolls and leave no trace."
"Although I intend for my techniques to become a unique symbol of Fantasy Island, the Eight Gates Technique is far too dangerous. If certain evil organizations were to learn about it, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Ash first explained the importance of the scrolls before handing them to Shirō.
As Shirō received the scrolls from Ash, he felt the heavy responsibility placed upon him.
"Rest assured, Master. I won't disappoint you."
Looking at the scroll in his hands, Shirō spoke with emotion. Ever since becoming Ash's disciple, his strength had steadily improved. Now he had obtained such a powerful trump card—naturally, he felt deep gratitude toward Ash.
After receiving the scrolls, Shirō returned to his room in the wooden cabin. There, he began studying them carefully. At the same time, he released his Pokémon so they could learn this powerful trump card together.
