Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Yushiro finally meets Miharu as they engage in the very first battle between TAs on the stage site. The SSDF support team notices that Yushiro's systems seem to be operating at a much higher efficiency, which the other Gowa brothers assume to be the influence of the site. On the battlefield itself, the SSDF TAs, equipped as they are for urban warfare, are having a tough time in the desert environment, but a surprise sandstorm forces a disengagement. While technicians work at getting sand out of the TA joints, the members of the Experimentation Company demand explanations from a reticent Yushiro about his odd behavior. The next day, Hayakawa receives new orders: to capture at least one enemy TA. The battle doesn't quite go as planned, but footage of the fight is broadcast on news networks around the world, announcing the existence of TAs to everyone. (American release in 2000.).

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for Gasaraki. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
The Touching is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 21 out of 25, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 24m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
