Gachiakuta episode 2 recap

The episode begins with a scene from the past, where a young Rudo overhears a group of people talking about a tribesfolk being dropped into the abyss for their crime. He has always wondered why nobody considers what would happen to those who fell into the abyss.
Following this, the narrative shifts the focus to the current events and shows Rudo running from a bizarre beast formed from a pile of trash. As the beast snaps its jaws at Rudo, the boy rolls over the other side and discovers a human skull. He curses the Apostles who dropped the man into the hellscape.
While climbing a pile of trash, Rudo breathes the toxic air and realizes he must find a shelter. However, no matter where he looks, he can only see trash. Meanwhile, he confronts several Trash Beasts. One moment, he trips and falls over. Suddenly, he begins to lose consciousness.

At this moment, Rudo hallucinates Regto’s corpse lying next to him. He wakes up with a jolt and recalls his resolve to kill the ones who framed him. With this resolve, Rudo grabs an iron pipe and smashes a Trash Beast with ferocity.
Meanwhile, a masked figure detects Rudo’s powers from somewhere. The man looks at the scene with binoculars. Eventually, the masked man comes to help Rudo when he becomes outnumbered by the Trash Beasts. The man transforms his Umbrella into a weapon and obliterates the Trash Beasts one by one.
Afterward, he introduces himself as Enjin, a Cleaner. He forcibly makes Rudo wear a mask so that he doesn’t inhale the toxic air. Meanwhile, Rudo wants to know everything about the place, the Trash Beasts he saw, and asks Enjin about a way to return. Enjin tells him that the place is called Ground, and the “sky” he mentions is called Sphere.

Enjin further tells Rudo that it’s impossible to return. However, Rudo constantly nags him to tell him about the powers he used. Annoyed by Rudo’s attitude, Enjin drops him near a truck shop. He wants to teach Rudo what it’s like to inhabit the Ground. Meanwhile, Rudo runs into a group of masked men, who recognize the boy as a Spherite.
Although they behave graciously with him at first, it turns out that they are actually human traffickers. Rudo finds himself chained in their van. Meanwhile, the leader of the group mocks Rudo for being a Spherite. He informs him that everyone in the Ground hates the Spherites for dropping waste in the Ground.

Infuriated by the betrayal, Rudo awakens his hidden potential, which transforms the chains into a weapon. Following this, Rudo attacks the human traffickers. Interestingly, he transforms another object into a weapon. Enjin sees the fight from far away and is intrigued to see Rudo’s Giver abilities.
Eventually, he intervenes and stops the boy from committing a crime. Enjin asks Rudo to join the Cleaners, as the organization requires people like him. However, Rudo blatantly rejects the offer.
What to expect in Gachiakuta episode 3? (speculative)

Considering the latest episode adapted chapters 2 and 3 from Kei Urana’s manga, Gachiakuta episode 3 will continue the adaptation from chapter 4.
As such, the episode will likely mark the debut of Zanka and Riyo, two main characters from the series. Additionally, Gachiakuta episode 3 may show Rudo changing his mind about Enjin’s offer.
