Gachiakuta burst onto the anime scene on July 6, 2025, with a premiere that's equal parts gritty, emotional, and action-packed. Produced by Bones Film and based on Kei Urana's manga, this dark fantasy shonen introduces a dystopian world where trash and societal outcasts are discarded into a monstrous abyss called The Pit. Episode 1 sets the stage with a compelling cast, a stark class divide, and a unique art style infused with graffiti flair by Hideyoshi Ando. Here, we spotlight the best characters introduced in Gachiakuta 's debut episode, exploring what makes them stand out and why they're already stealing the show. Perfect for fans of Soul Eater or Chainsaw Man , these characters lay the foundation for an unforgettable story. 1. Rudo Surebrec
Rudo is the beating heart of Gachiakuta 's premiere, a young boy from the slums who's as tough as the trash he scavenges. Voiced by Bryson Baugus in the English dub, Rudo's fiery spirit and disdain for the wasteful upper class make him instantly relatable. Living among the 'tribesfolk' – descendants of exiled criminals – he rummages through garbage to find value in what others discard, a trait inspired by creator Kei Urana's own childhood experiences with treasured objects. His unique power, the 3R Gloves, hints at his ability to breathe life into discarded items, setting him up as a potential game-changer in The Pit. 2. Regto
Regto, voiced by an uncredited actor in Episode 1, is Rudo's foster father and a beacon of warmth in the slums' harsh reality. As a tribesfolk member, he earns a living through petty crime but urges Rudo to avoid danger, showcasing a protective, fatherly side. His brutal murder, which sparks Rudo's exile, is a gut-punch moment that sets the plot in motion. Though his screen time is brief, Regto's influence lingers, with fans speculating about his backstory and connection to Rudo's mysterious past. 3. Chiwa
Chiwa, Rudo's childhood friend, is a polarizing figure in Episode 1. Voiced by an uncredited actor, she initially seems like a supportive ally, sharing a bond with Rudo over their shared tribesfolk struggles. However, her quick betrayal when Rudo is accused of murder has sparked heated debate among fans. Reddit threads call her actions a 'top 10 anime romance betrayal,' with users frustrated at how easily she dismisses Rudo, believing he's no better than his criminal father.
