Luca's Gate (四翼天使 (ルカ) (もん) , Ruka no Mon) is a location in Jun Mochizuki's Pandora Hearts. It is a gateway located underneath in the catacombs of Pandora Headquarters in Reveil, named and modeled after Luca, the Four-Winged Angel. The Gate serves as a secret evacuation route to be used in emergencies, meant for the sole use of the heads of the Four Great Dukedoms. Thus it can only be operated, either opened or closed, using the Keys to the Doors that only the Four Great Dukes possess.

Jack's Intention Arc[]

After rescuing Oz from his execution at the hands of Oswald, Gilbert begins leading Oz through Pandora's catacombs in search of Luca's Gate in order to get far enough from the Baskerville Clan and their potential executions. After continuously arguing over what would be best for Gil, the two are joined by Oscar Vessalius, intent on traveling to Luca's Gate with Gil and Oz. In reality, Oscar had been sent to kill Jack by Xai, leaving Oscar confused and fearful of what's to come.

Several members of Pandora manage to catch up with the two, after having been sent to find and kill Oz and Gilbert. The Pandora members had only complied because they fear Oswald will end their own lives, but in the end Gilbert manages to kill them all with the help of Raven, in order to protect Oz.

Meanwhile, Rufus informs Oswald of Pandora's search being undertaken in Pandora's catacombs, explaining that if Pandora's search continues to proceed without force applied against Oz and Gilbert, they would soon have the upper hand and be able to corner then in Pandora's catacombs. Xai interjects, saying that it is likely that Gil was trying to head towards St. Luca's Gate with Oz in order to escape Pandora. Another Baskerville identifies Xai to Oswald and questions the purpose of Luca's Gate. Xai elaborates the purpose of Luca's Gate being an emergency escape route for the Four Great Dukes, but because of how rare St. Luca's Gate is used, a Key to the Abyss is necessary to access it.

Xai's explanation prompts Lottie to yell at Rufus for having not said anything about Luca's Gate. Rufus justifies his actions by stating that he had thought that he was going to be killed, so to have said anything about Luca's Gate would have been foolish, as it would have prevented him from being able to use Luca's Gate in secret later, if the need arose. Xai, thinking of his younger brother, whom he had sent to kill the container of Jack Vessalius's soul, mentions that it is possible that Oscar had joined forces with Oz and Gilbert, which left no doubt in his mind that the three of them would be Hell-bent on finding Luca's Gate.

Oswald takes a moment to ponder Xai's revelation, leaving Oswald wondering why Xai is so willing to sell out his family, despite not being a true Baskerville. Xai tells Oswald that his goal has always been to destroy Jack for all that he's done to the Vessalius Dukedom, thus meaning that the container for Jack's soul (Oz) is nothing more to him than a medium for his hatred.

Meanwhile, after the confrontation with the Pandora members, Oscar draws his gun, whilst Gil draws his own gun and demands that his target not move another muscle. Gil had been talking to Jack, whom Gil was now aware had taken over Oz again. Jack was impressed with Gil's observation, stealing Oscar's gun from him and running, revealing to Gil Oscar's intention to kill him, as well as taunting Oscar about the deaths of his wife and child while running through the catacombs. Oscar manages to tell Gil that the path to St. Luca's Gate is a lot like a maze, and despite knowing the path, it wouldn't make a difference if they lost Jack.

Eventually, Oscar manages to corner Jack, pinning him to the wall. Jack shoots Oscar in the ear as a failed attempt to kill him, Oscar pinning Jack to the wall and declaring that he intended to kill destroy what's left of Jack. Long after the confrontation with Jack, Jack attacks Oscar with Oz's power in an attempt to destroy Oscar and make it so nothing would prevent Oz from remaining dormant within Jack's body. Instead, Oz manages to use his powers to destroy what's left of Jack's soul.

Following this, Oscar helps Oz, Gil and Alice (who had returned to Oz after Oz called her soul back to him) reach Luca's Gate, opening it with his Key to the Abyss (his wedding ring), and telling the three of them to leave without him, as Luca's Gate would lead them out of Reveil safely. Oscar closed Luca's Gate with his Key, speaking with Xai  as he confronted Oscar. Xai shoots and kills Oscar for allowing Oz, Alice and Gilbert to escape,  having originally planned on stealing Oscar's Key; however because Luca's Gate had been closed, Xai could not use the Key to open it for some time due to the effect of the Gate.
