Gachiakuta is a new anime series that adapts the manga by Kei Urana, premiering on Crunchyroll on July 6. It follows Rudo, a 15-year-old living in the floating city of Sphere, where societal issues are depicted through the narrative. Rudo, a Tribe Folk member, is plunged into turmoil after discovering his adoptive father's murder and is unfairly accused of the crime. The series retains the shonen formula of adventure and personal growth while also addressing themes of class and justice. This blend of traditional shonen elements with a fresh setting distinguishes Gachiakuta in the anime landscape.
Gachiakuta follows the familiar shonen formula but introduces a unique setting in the floating city of Sphere, making it feel fresh amidst a crowded genre.
The story centers around Rudo, a 15-year-old boy accused of murdering his adoptive father, Regto, after he discovers him stabbed by an unknown attacker.
In Gachiakuta, shonen themes are present but intertwined with social commentary about class and justice, particularly through the lens of the Tribe Folk in the slums.
While many shonen narratives avoid real-life issues, Gachiakuta acknowledges them, using the setting of The Pit and the marginalization of its characters to enrich the storyline.
