Since Shinzo Abe elected as the Prime Minister of Japan, he had concentrated his effort to change Japan to be a "normal" country by trying to change article nine of Japanese Constitution. But even if Shinzo Abe had tried since 2006 to change the constitution, this effort still opposed by the Japanese people. Mass media is one of the tools that could be used to communication through people. Gate : Jieitai Kano Chi te kaku tatakaeri, is one of Japanese anime that represent Japanese Self Defense Force in mass media. Through this research author will analyse the narration of Gate Jieitai Kano Chi te Kaku Tatakaeri, and show how have Japanese Self Defense Force have been represent in this anime in its relation to the Special Region, which I argue was the representation of the country that Japan had been invade during the world war II.
