The title of episode 8 of The New Gate was Trust and the Trusted. The episode picked up where the previous one left off, with Girart warmly welcoming Shin and his friends to his nation. After introducing Shin to his subordinates, the two longtime friends sat apart from the rest and reminisced about the past, when Girart had been Shin’s apprentice.

Following a heartfelt conversation, Girart disclosed that he only had a few days left to live and his final desire was to face off against the strongest opponent he had ever encountered, Shin. After careful consideration, Shin agreed to his dear friend’s request and they planned to have their ultimate showdown the following week. In the days leading up to the battle, Girart asked for Shin’s assistance in fixing his equipment, to which Shin willingly obliged.

As if in the blink of an eye, a week passed and the day of the ultimate showdown arrived. The two combatants made their way to a nearby forest and said their goodbyes to their followers before venturing into the forest. As soon as they entered, Shin and Girart charged at each other with full force. Despite Shin’s efforts in repairing Girart’s gear, there were moments where Girart was able to overpower him.

After gaining the upper hand in battle, Shin was caught off guard when Girart transformed into his beast form and displayed impressive speed. Just as Girart was about to strike the final blow, his health took a turn for the worse. He accused Shin of holding back, prompting the protagonist to unleash his full power and shake the forest. In the end, Girart bid farewell as Shin returned with his lifeless body.

Unfortunately, episode 8 of The New Gate was the least visually impressive so far. It is hoped that this was just a one-time occurrence, as the series has now entered its second half and is expected to become more engaging.
