What Is Gachiakuta About?
The story follows Rudo, an orphaned teenager who lives in the slums of a wealthy, sky-bound city, living among the tribesfolk population, descendants of exiled criminals. In this society, the upper class throws away anything they deem useless, dumping it into a massive wasteland below called the Pit. Rudo resents their wasteful ways and often sneaks into their trash sites before this trash reaches the Pit, putting him at odds with other kids.
Rudo lives a quiet life with his foster father, Regto. But one day, after returning from one of his trash raids, he returns home to find amasked man stabbing Regto. He rushes in to stop the attack but gets knocked unconscious. When the authorities arrive, they accuse him of committing the murder. Without a proper trial, they sentenced him to death and cast him into the Pit. As he falls, Rudo swears revenge on those who destroyed his life.
Rudo survives the fall and wakes up in a wasteland filled with trash and monsters made of garbage. While struggling to fight these creatures, a man named Enjin appears and easily defeats them. Enjin explains that Rudo hasn’t fallen underground but has landed on the surface of a place known as “The Sphere.”
Soon after, Rudo discovers he possesses a unique ability. He awakens his powers as a Giver while fighting off a group of human traffickers. Impressed by his potential, Enjin offers Rudoa place among the Cleaners, an organization made up of Givers who wield special weapons called “vital instruments” to hunt trash beasts.
Rudo initially refuses the offer. But with his desire for revenge burning stronger than ever, he realizes joining the Cleaners may be the first step toward climbing back to the city and confronting the people who destroyed his life, causing him to accept the offer and begin his new life as a Cleaner.
