Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There (ゲート 自衛隊 彼の地にて、斯く戦えり Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri) is an anime series that aired from July 3 to September 19, 2015. After a short hiatus, it reaired from January 9 to March 25, 2016.

In the summer of 20XX A.D., a mysterious portal opened in the Ginza district of Toyko, Japan, bringing forth the military of the Empire across it. However, the army is medieval-aged equipped and despite the dragons and monsters brought along, the Japanese Self-Defense Force quickly put them down after their small carnage. Establishing order, the Japanese Government declared the portal to be part of Japanese soil and sends the JSDF to investigate the mysterious land behind the portal. Second Lt. Youji Itami of the JGSDF (Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force) is appointed the commander of Third Recon Team to scout out the mysterious land.

The following weapons were used in the anime series Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There:

The JGSDF is equipped with the Minebea P9, a Japanese licensed copy of the SIG-Sauer P220, as their sidearms. Kuribayashi notably uses one in the Battle of Italica. Yurata in Episode 16 is also seen with one as a concealed carry.
