The Gate is exposed in the Idea and Gatekeeper scrambles all Magic Sequences coming out of the Gate. Unless unlocked, victim magician can't use magic. [1]
Shiba Tatsuya developed Gatekeeper to neutralize the magic of magicians. [1] Shiba Miyuki made Jasmine Williams and James Jeffrey Johnson believe that Gatekeeper is a "secret technique" of the Yotsuba Family to deflect attention away from Tatsuya, but in fact it's actually his "secret technique". [1]
After confirming Tatsuya's acceptance, Yotsuba Maya asked Tsukuba Family to make efforts to improve Gatekeeper, thus as to allow others to use it. [2] It is believed that a person with adequate predisposition to Mental Interference Magic can use Gatekeeper. However, Tatsuya is able to use this magic due to his unique ability to monitor other people's Gate. [1]
