Framed for a crime he didn’t commit and tossed into the rancid garbage pit far below the Sphere, Rudo will do whatever it takes to survive in the hellish depths so he can take revenge on the people who sent him there.

GACHIAKUTA RECAP Gachiakuta Episode 21 Recap Summary The Gachiakuta After Show Podcast Episode 20 Previous Gachiakuta recaps Hunch Bundus steps out of the car, vital instrument at the ready. He doubts Enjin can get himself out of the cavernous trash beast and the Cleaner responds with a cocky grin. Enjin uses his vital instrument, Umbreaker, to drill a hole straight to Rudo’s location. Bundus assumes Enjin has a way to know where his teammates are, but it’s just a guess — that turns out to be right. Zodyl is somewhat impressed when the Cleaner drops in.

Guita is down for the count after hitting her head. Rudo’s had enough of Zodyl and the trash beast’s core is in the Cleaners’ sights. To the Air Enjin notices that Riyo’s hair is down. He asks her if she killed someone, and in her haste to say she didn’t , Riyo drops Zanka on the ground. Suddenly, the massive trash beast takes flight, shifting the chamber’s angle again. The Cleaners don’t have a lot of time to take out the beast’s core before they reach the border between the Ground and the Sphere. Rudo transforms a nail gun into a vital instrument and fires, but Bundus is suddenly there to block it.

Enjin, Riyo, Dear and Bro attack, but he stops each of them. His vital instrument, Hands, gained a new prosthetic arm with age milestones he reached, for a total of six. They make Bundus seemingly unstoppable. Even Stronger Elsewhere, Cthoni finds Noerde and asks her if she’s done fighting. Her long hair comes loose as she gets to her feet. Each of Bundus’ Hands has a different ability and he pairs one to best deal with a specific Cleaner. Bro doesn’t believe there’s anything in “training” about Bundus, while Rudo gets increasingly frustrated as he can’t get close to the beast’s core. He starts to feel like he can’t do anything and then realizes that he’s wrong. He can use 3R, his vital instrument, to get the power to break through. RELATED: Basic Doesn’t Back Down: A Thank You Letter to Gachiakuta's Zanka Nijiku Rudo channels his power into the nail gun, transforming it again into a larger, more powerful version. Instead of splitting the power into three different objects like he usually does, this puts it all in one object. It’s reckless, Bundus observes, but it’s the biggest threat to him. Last Shot Using all of his power means it’s all or nothing when Rudo fires the nail gun at Bundus. A large nail explodes out of the gun, but it’s stopped by Bundus’ mechanical hands. But Rudo isn’t done yet and the gun fires one more nail. It strikes the first nail and their combined power shatters the hands into pieces. The shot misses the beast’s core, however, and the nail gun disintegrates moments later.

He invites Bundus to join them as they prepare to leave. Rudo yells at Zodyl for running away, and the Raiders’ leader replies that it was always part of the plan to use the Cleaners as the guinea pigs. He tells Rudo they missed their chance to destroy the core, since another Raider-in-training is about to arrive. Noerde appears in a flash of static electricity, eyes blazing with anger as she growls Riyo’s name… Can the Cleaners destroy the trash beast in time?
