What to Expect in Gachiakuta Episode 9
Episode 9 was anticipated to be a pivotal moment for protagonist Rudo, as his journey converges with the distinctive, graffiti-adorned streets of Canvas Town. The episode introduces a settlement where creativity is paramount for survival, contrasting with sheer strength. Corvus’s approval for a risky expedition sends Rudo and Enjin into uncharted territory, where protective spells emerge from painted walls.
Following Episode 8, which saw Rudo earning his uniform and discovering a new lead to potentially return to the Sphere, Episode 9 delved deeper into the world of the Cleaners. It showcased the Cleaners entering Canvas Town in search of a Giver named Gob, who could cast protective spells. However, Gob’s passing led to the introduction of a new character, Remlin, a powerful Giver believed to be the city’s protector.
