Gachiakuta Episode 7 Brief Recap

Gachiakuta episode 7 began with Jabber figuring out how Rudo’s weapon worked. To avoid feeling hostility, he rendered his body unconscious with his own toxins to move instinctively. Rudo, on the other hand, thinks that Jabber might just be a masochist. The intense battle continues, but this time, Rudo can only dodge the attacks.

Zanka returns, but the poison is still affecting his movements. Zanka comes up with an idea to utilize Rudo’s weapon. He plans to hit Rudo with hostility so that he can be transported in front of Jabber to land a vital hit.

The plan works, and Zanka is able to be transported right in front of Jabber. Zanka takes this opportunity to hit Jabber, and at the same time, he keeps using Rudo’s weapon to beat up Jabber. After one last hit, Jabber seems to be down once and for all, and Zanka is left exhausted.

Gris’s lucky charm turned to dust as Rudo began to panic over how much the talisman must have meant to its owner. Suddenly, Rudo falls down, and Zanka realizes that he was poisoned by Jabber. Jabber scratches himself with his left claw, which can suppress pain momentarily. He stabs Zanka again to render him useless before trying to flee with Rudo.

However, once he escapes the area, he comes face-to-face with Enjin and the other Cleaners. Jabber feels excited at the prospect of facing stronger enemies, but he is suddenly stopped by a girl who demands that Jabber return.

Jabber does as she says, but not before noticing Rudo’s gloves. He suddenly says that Rudo has the same ‘series’ and that his Boss would love to hear about it. He even tells Rudo to take good care of the gloves, hinting that the gloves gifted by Regto are special. He abruptly exits, leaving Rudo to question what he meant about his gloves.

The gloves, called 3R, are actually a part of the Watchman Series, a series of Vital Instruments that are some of the oldest in the world. They also hold an unlimited supply of ‘Thought,’ a mysterious power that turns thoughts into energy. The fact that Regto gifted it to Rudo raises serious questions about his identity.

Gachiakuta Episode 8 Spoilers and What to Expect

Episode 7 covered chapters 18 to 21 of the manga, which means that Gachiakuta episode 8 should adapt the next few chapters, starting from chapter 22. If the anime goes accordingly, then Rudo will meet a fully healed Gris, because of their only healer giver.

Next, Rudo might meet the boss of the Cleaners, who would already be impressed by the new kid since he put his life on the line for his teammates. The upcoming episode might also reveal Rudo gaining some vital information about entering the Sphere, a hint at a way that would ensure he can reenter without ending up dead.
