Gachiakuta episode 3 recap

The episode commenced with Enjin informing Zanka via a communication device about Rudo and how he is a "prodigy." Meanwhile, Rudo overheard Enjin's conversation while being treated by a doctor. He reminded Enjin that he never agreed to join the Cleaners. At that moment, the doctor snapped at Rudo and told him that he would have died if Enjin hadn't brought him in time.

After leaving the treatment facility, Rudo thanked Enjin for paying for the doctor's fees. That said, he didn't want to be involved with the Cleaners business, as he only wanted information. Following that, Enjin reminded Rudo that the Ground wasn't so kind.

Whilst eating at a burger joint, the blonde-haired Cleaner told Rudo about the Trash Beast's origin, including how they formed from the accumulated emotions in the Ground. Since those Trash Beasts are formed from thoughts, normal weapons don't work on them. Only the objects, like Rudo's gloves, that have been wholeheartedly taken care of for many years, could be used to fight those beings.

It's because a thought or a soul dwelt on those objects. Enjin called these objects the Vital Instruments. Moreover, the episode revealed that only a few could draw power from the Vital Instruments, making the Cleaners rare. That's why the Cleaners are on the lookout for new scouts.

Rudo said that he would only join the Cleaners if Enjin told him about a way to return to the Sphere. While Enjin didn't know about it, he suspected his boss might be aware. Afterward, Rudo met Zanka while trying to catch a cat that snatched his purse full of money. Rudo had unknowingly picked up Zanka's Vital Instrument, a staff, to catch the cat.

After an initial hostile situation, Zanka eventually figured out the truth and apologized. He said he heard about Rudo from Enjin. Zanka then asked Rudo why he wanted to join the Cleaners. Suddenly, Rudo remembered Regto telling him that he should fix his sour face by smiling a little. Thus, Rudo responded to Zanka's question with a strained & creepy smile.

Seeing Rudo's smile irked Zanka, who thought the boy was mocking him. At that moment, Rudo tried to smile once again, but with a closed mouth. It irked Zanka even more, and he was convinced Rudo was definitely mocking him. At that moment, a fight began between the duo.

Rudo transformed a plunger into a weapon. It didn't take long for Zanka to realize the object Rudo was holding, and he began to run for his life. However, Rudo unknowingly splashed turd on Zanka's clothes. Eventually, they ran to Enjin, who burst into hysterical laughter after finding out about their "flying poo" battle.

At Enjin's vehicle, Rudo also met Riyo, who began playing with his hair. The episode ended with Enjin and others taking Rudo to the Cleaners Headquarters.
