Spoiler: Season 1 Episodes 12-24
If you missed part 1, go read it first so this chaos hits harder: “Stop calling it trash, it has feelings… (and Teeth)” please go and read it. If not though, keep reading and I hope you enjoy it.
We left off with the mission where we met Amo. While also learning some new things. Getting a look at different Vital Instruments and how they work. Along with people being about to travel between the ground and the sphere.
Amo called these people “The Angels”.
We also see that Rudo has a tad bit of an anger problem. Yes, this was hinted at in earlier episodes. This mission just may have been the breaking point. When he just couldn’t hold it in anymore. Luckily Enjin and Gris were able to get him to calm down from the stressful situation. I’m pretty sure Rudo probably sees them as parental figures to him which helped.
Gris is the one that will encourage you, but will call you out in front of people when you are in the wrong.
While Enjin is more of pulling you aside to calm you down and tries to understand what got you to your breaking point.
Need to come up with their next plan they all head back to HQ.
Is the car ride calm? You ask.
No, Enjin don’t know how to really drive.
Gris can, but everyone would end up dying in their sleep because he drives like a lullaby.
Then we get them bickering like a married couple on being careful when you’re driving. Nonetheless, deciding to stop to at least get checked out by Alice.
She’s the grandmother of August and Eishia, which the Resemblance isn’t that far off. This is where Eishia goes to learn more about being a medic. She’s what seems to be the only person at HQ that has a Vital Instrument that helps when performing medical treatment. Therefore coming to learn more about the field with her grandmother.
Shortly after they are done getting checked out they start heading back to HQ and Semiu calls to let them know to take the back way home. The base was under attack so going to the front wasn’t the best idea.
I can confidently say that Semiu can kick some ass though.
Taking down about 20 grown men.
Her Vital Instrument helps. Being that she can practically see what people are planning to do seconds before they do anything.
The relationship a Giver has with their Vital Instrument can make a big difference for what type of Giver you end up being.
This attack was because a group was tipped off about a sphererite being held at Cleaners HQ from the Raiders. That is why I think it is crazy the Cleaners went out to dinner knowing damn well people are after Rudo and something might happen. The excuse was its tradition and also being able to spend quality time together. Along with the Cleaners thrive on knowing they have each other’s backs.
Team Akuta, Child, and the Supporters were all there.
I’m just saying Team Child is definitely a favorite. Considering that both Dear and Guita are complete vibes, even Bro is. We got…
Dear Santa who shows his expressions on his face loudly and likes stealing peoples food.
Then we got Guita that is so energetic and curious to the very end.
Along with Bro who’s such a dad and is constantly trying to get Dear to calm down.
Though everyone is aware they should be careful what they talk about because of the attack. Rudo called it. They should have stayed back in the comfort of HQ and not gone out.
I will say Rudo shouldn’t have talked to a complete stranger because suddenly this grown man’s hand ended up around Rudo’s neck. The man happened to be the boss of the Raiders. Then everyone proceeds to get sucked into a worm hole. The only ones that didn’t get taken were the supporters. This is when things start to get abundantly more crazy.
The Cleaners ending up face to face with the Raiders. About to have some kickass fights or “some mad violence” like Jabber would say.
All Cleaners split up.
All different parts of the Beast.
All clueless to what is about to happen.
First we got Rudo talking to Zodyl. Which was the plan from the beginning. Zodyl can give Rudo what he wants, along with wanting our sphererite to join the Raiders. Though most of the stuff he is saying is to get our sweet boy to think nobody truly cares about him.
Leading to Riyo with Noerde, which is pretty shocking. No, literally the woman can use static electricity to her advantage. While Riyo had us all thinking she was done for. Well at least until she pulled out the glock.
Then Enjin is over here basically babysitting Fu. Kiddo just needs an adult figure willing to give him some guidance. Someone to almost tell him fully what to do because he just doesn’t know. So we got him begging to fight, but Enjin was not looking to do that. He basically tricks Fu into telling him most of the Raiders plan.
Along with Zanka against Jabber again, but by himself. The guy is even more of a crackhead that likes drugging himself and others. Zanka being the only one to get Jabber’s full form to come out. Though of course bro gets a strike in. Then panning to Zanka tripping balls while Jabber is putting on a whole performance.
Then Bro and Dear Santa talking with Bundus. That is really all that was though, along with them not trying to die together. Dear’s about at the point where he could bring down the whole place. Bro is trying to calm him down and doing his best to keep up with the questions. Then Bundus is almost interrogating them about Corvus who is the boss of the Cleaners. When all of a sudden a trash avalanche starts and they decide to help each other out. Therefore no one would die.
All this happens while Guita is alone exploring and finding what seems like the center of a trash beast. Along with being able to eavesdrop on Rudo and Zodyl.
This is the point where all of them find out they are not in fact underground.
BUT… Inside a Trash Beast.
Everyone that can locks the hell in.
Riyo’s able to recover Zanka. Jabber was too focused on his win than paying attention to his surroundings.
Enjin’s able to form a path for everyone to link back together.
The Cleaners then have to go against Bundus. It is pretty impressive that he could hold all of them back from the “heart” of the trash beast. Until Rudo starts to pop off and focuses all of his energy into one item. Learning that he could power up an object more than he has been.
The nail gun Rudo was using grew like 3x the size. With only 2 shots was able to destroy Bundus’s Vital Instrument. Though Rudo’s has a big heart when it comes to trash and felt pretty bad for destroying someone’s Vital Instrument.
At this point Zodyl takes his leave. He was able to get all of the information that he needed. Gathering his team instead of Noerde. She was to keep the Cleaners busy enough to cross the border. Then that is where she’s swept out of the trash beast and one of the most crucial things about the series is revealed.
The Border is The Watchman.
The Cleaners then still have to find out how to get back down to the ground safely. First they had to get eyes on Guita and Zanka.
Then Guita pops up dragging Zanka being like “oooo what’s going on here”. Being the curious child she is. While Enjin and Bro are lowkey freaking out that they might get sucked out of the trash beast. Then Riyo was like “Hey girl, come over here”.
Until they just trusted what she was going to do. This is when we get to see Guita’s Vital Instrument. It’s pretty sick too. She basically turned herself into a Kaiju. Which came in handy because she was able to be a cushion when they hit the ground.
Team Eager and The Supporters got to the scene a little after they touched back on the ground. There to check up and give medical care to anyone who needed it. Zanka needed the most medical treatment.
Then we have Gris being like a concerned father to Rudo in a way. Along with Bro being a concerned guardian because Guita was showing a lot of skin. I honestly love the amount of parental figures there are. It kind of warms a little part of my heart right up.
I will say though Tamsy is a little suspicious to me though. He just seems a little like those characters that turn bad part way through the series. Then we have his team mate Delmon that is concerned that the Raiders are making trash beasts now.
After we learn that Remlin may have messed up Zanka’s protection spell. She got a little distracted and was thinking about weird things. Apologizing for what had happened, though Zanka didn’t hold a grudge. Saying that he needed to better himself before he started putting blame on other people.
Rudo did feel bad about both of the situations. He pitied Zanka a little bit and then wasn’t because he understood that he was able to learn a lot from him. Also Zanka was able to stand tall and was capable of getting stronger.
Rudo was also wanting to cheer up Remlin and didn’t fully know how. He wants to be able to make friends and have fun. Though Zanka needs to give him advice. Kind of taking on that annoyed big brother role with Rudo.
He knows Rudo is a little too hung up on his revenge and also doesn’t really know how to help out. Zanka basically is saying you learn, grow, and get shaped into who you want to be. You won’t do that if you keep hesitating. At least that is how I took it.
Rudo took that and applied what was said. Kind of scared and cautious to not make things worse he tries to cheer Remlin up.
That is how all of the kids ended up drawing together which leads to them being ordered to take a field trip to Canvas Town. Which is such a cute and fun episode to get away from all the crazy fighting.
The trip was to really get Rudo out of HQ because the Hell Guards were coming to take him. Wasn’t able to get what they came for though. They wanted to learn more information about the Sphere. He just happened to be on a mission.
This team up is pretty interesting though. We get Rudo, Guita, Dear, and Remlin. Can I just say they had quite an adventure. Everything was going fine till they found sweets and a certain someone had some. Mind you they are walking in a town where kids shouldn’t be wandering without an adult because of kidnappers. Though the crazy thing is Rudo didn’t really stand a chance against a man saying he had sweets at his house, but when the man didn’t smell like candy…
What did Rudo do?
Kicked this creepy man in the ball.
Then with the man curled in a ball. Dear comforting him, Remlin telling him to stop. While Rudo is frustrated, and Guita, well she is just over the situation.
They also had Fu following them. My guess is the kid is going to join the Cleaners. At the end of the day he just needs some guidance with what he does. I’m very curious about his back story and what makes him timid.
Finally the field trip crew reaches Canvas Town.
Learning Crucial Information about The Watchman Series.
Welp, if you liked reading about what Gachiakuta has to hold, please catch up on Crunchyroll you won’t regret it… But just letting you know you’ll cry, laugh, or maybe want to be dropped into the pit.
If you could have one Vital Instrument, what would it be and what’s the sentimental trash item powering it?
