The Gate of the Ram Key was the Celestial Spirit Gate Key that could be used to summon Aries from the Celestial Spirit World.

Description[edit | edit source]

The Gate of the Ram Key was the Celestial Spirit Gate Key that could be used to summon Aries, the Ram, from the Celestial Spirit World. It was one of the Golden Celestial Spirit Gate Keys that each represented one of the Zodiac signs, with the Gate of the Ram Key representing Aries, the Ram. It appeared as a golden key that was adorned with the symbol of the Ram on its bow. As with all Celestial Spirit Keys, it would not function or respond to any commands or use of magic unless its corresponding Celestial Spirit, in this case Aries, was first bound by contract to the mage who possessed the key. If a contract was established between Aries and a mage, the mage could then summon Aries by brandishing the key and shouting "Open, Gate to the Ram!", which opened the dimensional "gate" that existed between the mage and Aries, allowing her to pass through to the mage's universe.[1]

History[edit | edit source]

The Gate of the Ram Key was owned by Mistgun before it fell into the ownership of Zev Raregroove.[1]

In 150,081 CMT, Zev used the Gate of the Ram Key to summon Aries to the Bebop II so that she could help him to pacify the over-hyperactive Coco. Kokonoe immediately took interest in Aries[2] because she had never experimented on a Celestial Spirit who had been summoned using one of the Ecliptic Gold Zodiac Keys before. Although Kokonoe was so frighteningly eager to experiment on Aries that she had to be physically restrained by Zev while Aries cowered in fear,[3] Zev later allowed Kokonoe to perform an examination on Aries on the condition that no harm would come to her. When Kokonoe asked Zev which other Celestial Spirit Keys he possessed, Zev replied "Silver Keys are...Canis Minor, Leo Minor, Crux, Horologium, Caelum, Triangulum, Telescopium, and Lyra. My Golden Keys are Aries - Obviously... - Leo, Sagittarius, Taurus, and Gemini.".[4]

  1. 1.0 1.1 Aries (spirit) (revision on 19:36, May 12, 2012): "Aries the "White Lamb" is a Celestial Spirit whose key in this Universe is currently in the possession of Zev Raregroove, although Mistgun held it for a time. [...] As a Celestial Spirit, Aries can be called from her native plane of existence to any other parallel Universe by way of a key - However, she must first have been previously bound by contract to the mage who holds her key. Without the contract, the key will not respond to any kind of commands or use of magic. It seems that there is a distinct difference in the level of power between spirits of Golden Keys and those of Silver Keys; the Golden Keys representing the Zodiac, and the Silver Keys representing all other constellations known to Earth. It is unknown what means go into forging such keys, nor which Universe's Earth produced them, as all keys seen thus far have been based on the constellations as seen from said planet."
