Gachiakuta is adapted from the action manga by Kei Urana (with graffiti art by Hideyoshi Ando), which began serialization in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine and has 14 tankoubon volumes as of March 2025. The anime’s synopsis states:
Rudo lives in the slums of a floating town, where the poor struggle under the shadow of the wealthy who enjoy a luxurious lifestyle, simply discarding their waste off the edge, into the abyss. One day, he is falsely accused of murder, and his wrongful conviction results in an unimaginable punishment—exile off the edge, alongside the refuse. Down below, the discarded remnants of humanity have given rise to ferocious monsters, and if Rudo wants to have any chance of uncovering the truth and seeking revenge against those who cast him into despair, he must harness a new power and team up with a group known as the Cleaners who fight against the gigantic trash beasts of the Pit!
