Plot

A young boy named Rudo lives in the slums of a wealthy society among the "tribesfolk" a population who are descended from criminals and are exiled by society. Rudo detests the upper class's wastefulness as they often dump anything deemed trash, including criminals, into a massive dump site below the town known as "The Pit". Rudo was told by his foster father Regto, that his biological father was dumped into the Pit for a crime before he was born. One day, after rummaging through a dump site, Rudo returns home to find Regto murdered. Apprehended at the scene, Rudo is immediately charged with murder despite his innocence, due to his status as a tribesman. Unable to escape his fate, Rudo swears revenge upon the people and is dumped into the Pit.

After being dumped into the Pit, Rudo awakens to find himself disoriented in a foul-smelling, endless landscape of trash. Rudo is then attacked by large beasts made of trash and fends them off until he is rescued by a man named Enjin. The man explains to Rudo that he's not underground but has fallen to the surface from "The Sphere". After testing him and awakening his power as a "Giver", Enjin invites Rudo to join him as a "Cleaner". Enjin explains that the Cleaners are an organization of Givers who use the power of unique weapons known as "vital instruments" to hunt the trash beasts that attacked him. Rudo reluctantly accepts Enjin's offer to join the Cleaners, so long as it helps accomplish his goal of returning to the Sphere and enacting revenge on those who dumped him into the Pit.

Characters

Rudo Surebrec (ルド・スレブレック, Rudo Sureburekku)
Voiced by: Aoi Ichikawa[4] (Japanese); Bryson Baugus[5] (English)
A former Sphereite as well as Regto's adopted son whose false convictions led to him being sentenced to The Pit. After being saved from a group of trash beasts, he joins the Cleaners as part of a plan to enact murderous vengeance on his accusers and the true culprit. His vital instrument consists of 3R, a pair of gloves from the Watchman series, which were given to him by Regto before his death. Rudo's gloves allow him to give life to any three objects he wields, which are mainly trash since items that are still in good condition are harder for him to use. He would turn them into weapons or tools, though they would crumble after they have served their purpose. Rudo can focus the anima energy from 3 items into one item, boosting that specific item's power.

Production

Urana credits experiences in her childhood as the main inspiration for Gachiakuta. The story's premise, where actions and feelings are imbued into personal belongings as "Anima", developed after Urana broke a belonging of her own as a child: "I had a pen that I really loved, and I broke it in two. Along with the sense of loss, I had a feeling like the pen was pleading with me".[14] Urana's experience is reflected in Gachiakuta as the story focuses on many characters who explore strong, personal connections to Anima-imbued objects called "Vital Instruments", and in Rudo's case, even trash thrown away by others. The idea for these Vital Instruments also originated in Urana's youth from observing the hangers that came with her grandmother's dry cleaning, a testament to Gachiakuta's themes about seeing value and potential in seemingly mundane and discarded things.[14]

Gachiakuta's art style is due to illustrations by Urana, complimented by graffiti designs from Ando Hideyoshi. Graffiti and street art provide not only avenues for expression, distinction, and safety for the story's characters, but also narrative significance for readers due to its use in storytelling. As for character design, Urana states that her process involved unexpected changes for Gachiakuta's characters: "I create them to be decent people, but then I actually draw them and for some reason, they turn out to be freaky weirdos. I've given up, realizing that this is who they truly are".[14]

Transliteration: "Tenkai" (Japanese: 天界)		Ikurō SatōFumihiko SuganumaKōichi Horikawa & Shinya YamadaJuly 6, 2025 (2025-07-06)
In a class-divided world, the elite Sphereites dispose of their waste into the slums below, where the young scavenger Rudo struggles to survive. As a tribesfolk—descended from criminals—he endures mockery for his father's violent past, a serial killer executed in the Pit. Rudo conceals a painful affliction in his hands, alleviated only by gloves from his adoptive father, Regto. After gifting his crush Chiwa a stuffed toy, he returns home to find a masked intruder stabbing Regto and stealing a book. With his dying breath, Regto urges Rudo to change the unjust world. Falsely accused of the murder, Rudo is sentenced to the Pit while the tribesfolk taunt him as trash. Even Chiwa betrays him, coldly declaring him the son of a murderer before discarding his gift. Devastated, Rudo condemns both the tribesfolk and Sphereites as equally corrupt, swearing vengeance against the killer, the elite, and the slum-dwellers. Cast into the Pit, he awakens in a wasteland of garbage—only to face immediate attack by a monstrous Trash Beast.

Discovering a buried skull, he curses the Sphereites for exiling him, then sees a vision of Regto, hardening his resolve. A Mysterious Man watches as Rudo attacks but collapses from the toxic air. The stranger saves him, destroying the beasts with an umbrella. Awakening, Rudo is given a mask by the man, who reveals himself as Enjin, a Cleaner. After restraining Rudo, Enjin dismisses his pleas to return to the Sphere, instead taking him to a truck stop. Locals, recognizing Rudo as a Sphereite, feign friendliness before capturing him for trafficking. Forced to eat trash, Rudo bites off two of the captor's fingers and fights back until Enjin stops him. Enjin reveals the ordeal was a test for latent power, offering knowledge of the Ground in exchange for joining the Cleaners: Rudo refuses.
