GACHIAKUTA RECAP Gachiakuta Episode 15 Recap Summary The Gachiakuta After Show Podcast Episode 14 Previous Gachiakuta recaps Part of the Plan Rudo asks the Raiders again where Amo is, but no one answers. Enjin apologizes to the hostile group for spoiling things by tagging along, but the Raiders’ leader replies calmly that it was part of the plan. Suddenly, a trashslide spews out of a tunnel, sweeping all the Cleaners except Rudo away. The other Raiders follow the split-up Cleaners through portals and Rudo is left all alone with their leader. He approaches and tells the young Cleaner that he came to share in his rage. His name is Zodyl Typhon. RELATED: Gachiakuta Quiz: What Kind of Vital Instrument Would You Have? Typhon asks Rudo if he wants to take down the Sphere with him and they have a shared vision of its fiery descent to the Ground. Rudo asks again about Amo, but Typhon admonishes him for wasting time. The young Cleaner feels like he’s been held captive by Typhon’s words alone. One on One Typhon asks Rudo why he joined the Cleaners and he replies that they’re helping him get back to the Sphere. They’re helping them for their own goals, Typhon tells him, and asks if he wants more than a fake friendship. Elsewhere, Riyo coughs and picks little pieces of trash from her mouth. As she calls for her friends, a portal opens behind her and a Raider with long, blonde hair emerges. She sneers at Riyo as she takes out a comb tucked into her ponytail.

Zanka activates his vital instrument, his staff, and the Raider does the same. Clawed gloves appear on his hands as he tells Zanka how excited he is for their rematch . They start trading blows and Zanka realizes that this fight is kill or be killed. Back at You Jabber gets distracted by the bubbling pools of liquid in the cavern. He dips a hand in and yells in pain, but his grimace turns into a grin as the same burning acid now drips from his claws. He flings heavy droplets of acid at Zanka. At the same time, Guita Hebby Fantasia pops out of a tunnel and bounces around another underground chamber. She happily greets a little cockroach nearby. Riyo shrieks as she sees a cockroach herself and her opponent scoffs at how soft she is. RELATED: Gachiakuta and the Tropes of Anime Vengeance Zanka’s cheek burns where the acid struck him, but he’d let it hit him. He sticks his staff into the rocky ground, then uses it as a lever to throw the entire acid pool back at Jabber. The Raider seemingly doesn’t dodge as it falls on him. In another cavern, Enjin leans on his umbrella and tries unsuccessfully to start a conversation with his foe. While the boy doesn’t answer him, he notices that Enjin is actually pretty cool. And in the final cave, Bro Santa and Dear Santa take in their surroundings while their Raider opponent confirms they’re underground. Cutting Words The Raider with Riyo activates her vital instrument, a plastic comb, and begins brushing her hair with it. She introduces herself as Noerde Hew Amozo. Riyo gives her name and admits that she doesn’t like fighting human opponents. Amozo says it will be too late for her friends if she doesn’t. Riyo attacks first, slicing a chunk of Amozo’s hair with her vital instrument and says she’s not going to cut her skin since she hates getting blood on her scissors — but she can’t say the same for her long hair. Amozo is unperturbed. RELATED: Rock Band Karanoah Shares Gachiakuta Cour 2 Anime Ending Song Music Video As for Zanka, he looks for Jabber in the acid pool. He’s shocked to see that the Raider was safely shielded by his claws, which had transformed into a much larger version — their true form. Jabber’s finally going all out. After Riyo attacks again, she suddenly finds herself prone on the ground. Amozo’s vital instrument transformed her hair into sharp angles with electric charges, painfully shocking the Cleaner. What can Riyo’s scissors do against an opponent like that? Raiders vs. Cleaners! Who will win? Find out by watching Gachiakuta right here on Crunchyroll!
