The band's vocalist and guitarist Yudai, who wrote and composed the song, posted the following comment on their official website : We created this song with the worldview of "Gachiakuta" as our top priority. I found myself wondering things like, "Would including this motif in the music help the viewers immerse themself in the work more?" or "What might this character be thinking at this moment?" They were closer to delusions than imagination, but for an anime lover like me, it was an irresistibly happy and joyful production. Even 10,000 characters wouldn't be enough to express everything I want to say, but above all, I'm honored to be involved with this beloved work through music. Thank you so much. I hope you'll enjoy this song, which are 100% my interpretation, drawn from various perspectives. Listening to it multiple times might reveal new discoveries… "Ban" released digitally first on October 13, and the CD single will follow on December 17.

Rudo lives in the slums of a floating town, where the poor scrape by under the shadow of the rich who live a sumptuous life, simply casting their garbage off the side, into the abyss. Then one day, he’s falsely accused of murder, and his wrongful conviction leads to an unimaginable punishment—exile off the edge, with the rest of the trash. Down on the surface, the cast-off waste of humanity has bred vicious monsters, and if Rudo wants to have any hope of discovering the truth and seeking vengeance against those who cast him into Hell, he will have to master a new power and join a group known as the Cleaners who battle the hulking trash beasts of the Pit!
