2. Recap of Episode 1 of Gachiakuta

Episode 1 introduces Rudo, a boy from the slums who lives in a floating city where poor people are treated like garbage. He likes to fix broken things and sees value in trash. His adoptive father, Regto, warns him to stay out of trouble, but Rudo keeps sneaking out to look for parts and trash. One day, he plans to give a gift to a girl he likes, but everything falls apart.

When Rudo comes home, he finds Regto murdered. Soon after, city guards called Apostles show up and blame him for the crime. Even though he’s innocent, they throw him into the Abyss, a giant pit where trash and people like him are dumped. As he falls, Rudo feels angry, betrayed, and promises to get revenge on the world that threw him away.

Rudo somehow survives the fall and wakes up in a strange, dirty world full of trash and monsters. It’s clear he’s not alone down there, and this new place is dangerous. He’s going to have to fight to stay alive and maybe find a way to fight back.

4. About Gachiakuta

Living in the slums of a wealthy town, Rudo and his foster father Regto try to coexist with the rest of the town’s residents, but Rudo despises the wastefulness of the upper class. Ignoring the warnings from those around him, Rudo regularly rummages through the town’s garbage in search of anything useful or valuable to save from the “Abyss”—a massive hole where anything considered trash is dumped, including people. Rudo’s biological father was one such person, having been thrown into the Abyss after he was accused of murder.

One day, after running into a mysterious figure on the way home, Rudo returns to find Regto’s dying body on the floor. He is immediately found at the scene by the authorities and is charged with murder. No one believes his claims of innocence, and he is thrown into the Abyss. Instead of dying, however, he finds himself in a strange, foul-smelling place surrounded by monsters made out of trash.

When Rudo is attacked by said monsters, he is saved by a man named Enjin, who reveals himself to be a “Cleaner”—someone who uses special weapons called Vital Instruments to combat these creatures. In order to get his revenge on the one who killed Regto, Rudo reluctantly becomes a Cleaner to fight his way back up and out of the Abyss.
