Gachiakuta episode 1 recap
The episode kicked off with a philosophical question on what dwelt in trash, when souls inhabited people's prized possessions. Afterward, the episode saw a young girl crying over her torn stuffed toy. Her mother said it wouldn't look nice if it were to be sewed back. Instead, she promised the girl that she would buy her another toy and threw the torn one into the dustbin.
Later, the episode focused on a boy in a hoodie collecting heaps of trash from the waste collection site. Noticing it, a guard pointed his gun at the boy and asked him for his identity. He realized the boy must be the Trash Raider from the reports. The guard then pressed an alarm, which summoned reinforcements. They chased the boy outside and opened fire.
However, the boy dodged every bullet, but one, which grazed past him. Eventually, he survived their tail and emerged outside the town. The next day, a tribes folk person overheard a group of people talking about the Trash Raider incident from the other night. They also looked at him condescendingly because of his shabby clothes.
The episode then focused on the boy from earlier, and introduced him as Rudo, an orphaned boy who lived in the slums with his foster parent, Regto. Apparently, Rudo's actual father was a "criminal" who killed someone. That's why many people in the slums looked at Rudo with judgmental eyes. Nevertheless, Rudo's crush, Chiwa, thought he wasn't like his parents.
She then noticed a torn stuffed toy in Rudo's hands that he had stolen from the waste collection site earlier. Rudo said it wasn't for sale. After he returned home, Regto mocked him for the things he said to Chiwa. He thought Rudo needed to be more expressive, or else Chiwa might fall for someone else.
Additionally, Regto noticed Rudo's injury and said he should stop going to the trash collection site. However, Rudo thought the injury was nothing compared to the scar he had on his hands. Saying that, he took off his gloves and looked at his pitch-black, charred hands. Apparently, he still felt immense pain from his wound.
People used to look at him with disgust because of his charred hands, until Regto gave him those gloves. Since then, he had treasured them. Nevertheless, Regto reminded Rudo to give the stuffed toy to Chiwa. The next day, Rudo went out to look for his friend and saw the execution of a criminal on the edge of the abyss, where trash and criminals alike were thrown.
Chiwa appeared behind Rudo and commented on how the abyss was a grim reminder of their place in society. After a brief conversation, Rudo gave the toy to Chiwa, who was delighted to receive it. Afterward, he thought he should tell about it to Regto and ran for home. On his way, he bumped into a group of Apostles, who looked at him sternly.
Eventually, Rudo returned home. Yet, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a masked man, stabbing Regto to death. For a moment, he was lost. After recollecting his thoughts, he charged at the man, but was slammed against the wall. The masked man quietly left the home after picking up a book that was lying on the ground.
Soon after, the Apostle arrived and accused Rudo of killing his foster parent. He was hoisted with chains, ready to be thrown into the abyss. During his final moments, Rudo saw Chiwa's "disappointed" gaze and the masked man in the crowd. At the same time, Rudo was in disbelief, as no one listened to his truth.
Rudo was overcome with disgust. While falling into the abyss, he swore to kill everyone. Interestingly, Rudo survived his fall and discovered a place filled with heaps of trash. Suddenly, he noticed a creature being formed from waste materials. The episode ended with Rudo wondering whether it was truly Hell.
What to expect in Gachiakuta episode 2? (speculative)
Gachiakuta episode 2 will continue the adaptation from chapter 2 of Kei Urana's manga and show Rudo confronting the mysterious beasts formed from the heaps of trash.
The episode will showcase his newfound abilities and his encounter with Enjin, a Cleaner from the Cleaners Organization. Gachiakuta episode 2 will likely show Enjin inviting Rudo to join the Cleaners.
