GACHIAKUTA Characters with Names on their Jinkis

"When there's not a name on the jinki... it means that the user is holding back."

"Riyō" — uses a mix of hiragana and katakana (リヨう) / (りヨう)

"~Zanka~" — uses the gachi world's "kana" writing system

"Rudo" — uses the gachi world's "english" writing system. However, his name doesn't appear directly on the Watchman gloves, rather on the items that he transform.

"Enjin's!!" — uses the gachi world's "english" writing system. (This one is unique because Umbreaker is most likely not Enjin's main jinki and what's interesting is that it even contains symbols. I still think that it was actually written by someone else, FOR him.)

"Dia" (= DEAR in official) — uses the gachi world's "english" writing system

"Blo" (= BRO in official) — uses the gachi world's "english" writing system

"Delmon" — uses the gachi world's "english" writing system

"Remlin" — unless Urana-sensei forgot the alphabet L or I, then this one's a mix of the gachi world's "english" writing system and one hiragana character. The L and I are not as obvious as the other alphabets which definitely uses the gachi world's "english" writing system. But I think the L and I in Remlin's name looked like the hiragana り (ri) so I think it's represented as that. The graffiti is R-E-M-り-N.

"Guita" — uses the gachi world's "english" writing system

"Follo" — uses the gachi world's "english" writing system

"Kutōni Andōru" — uses the gachi world's "kana" writing system (The other texts here read "Chthonian" and "Dollworm"; which instead uses the "english" writing system)

"Bundus" — uses the gachi world's "english" writing system

"Jabber" — uses the gachi world's "english" writing system

"Nerude" (=NOERDE in official) — uses the gachi world's "kana" writing system

"Momoa" — uses the gachi world's "english" writing system

"Mymo" — uses the gachi world's "english" writing system

"Gill" — uses the gachi world's "english" writing system, or perhaps a mix of both "english" and "kana" since it looked like there's an extra I just before the two Ls. And if anyone is curious, Gill's name in Japanese is ギル (giru).

“To Lily” — unexpected reveal on her volume cover! uses the gachi world’s “english” writing system. (Most likely it’s missing another ‘o’ but that’s probably lost in translation)

— end of list. to be continued as the series goes to reveal more. —

Jabber's jinki/vital instrument: Mankira

The term is essentially "Man Killer" in English. A really funny thing happened during my research; I was notified of how –and I quote, "it sounds similar to the Greek word "malaka" (μαλάκα), which is a slang term. While its literal meaning is related to masturbation, it is often used in a casual, often playful, way among friends, similar to terms like "dude" or "mate". It can also be used as an insult, similar to "idiot". –end quote. I never laughed so hard in my life.

Zanka's jinki/vital instrument: Aibou

Lovely Assistaff's Japanese name is a pun on the word "aibou" (相棒) that means "partner". The kanji for "ai" which is 相 in this case is cleverly swapped with kanji 愛 that means "love", hence giving the name "love rod/stick", or "lovely assistaff" in the official translation.

It is a very interesting swap of kanji because 愛 carries a deep and profound meaning; it speaks of a bond between two people that's been built and fostered through time, through thick and thin, and of selflessness – the kind of love that one just keeps on giving without expecting the same or even any in return, and to continue loving despite the other's flaws and imperfections. Befitting the profound love that Zanka has for his beat-up love stick.

"Anybody else would have tossed away that piece of junk. But you're still holding on to it tightly." — Enjin, to Zanka

Tamsy's jinki/vital instrument: Tokushin

Tamsy's jinki is quite tricky because it has various meanings since there's no exact kanji to work with. In Japanese, tokushin could mean devotion to God (篤信), a special promotion in rank/grade (特進), being satisfied or convinced (得心), and even blasphemy (涜神). Meanwhile, in English, the term is essentially just "toxin".

GACHIAKUTA 2nd Cour ED Visuals analysis

! Not spoiler-free !

Once again, this statement remains the same lol. I'm late to post this and ik many have already covered it but whatever, here's mine hehehe <3

Just the two of them sitting and about to have a heart-to-heart talk, that's right it's their talkshow, everyone. I love this setup btw!

Insane how the shadow casted is of the other. Further proving how SIMILAR they are to each other and they're just essentially victims of circumstance 😭

These may look like piles and chunks of scraps but there's actually depiction of birds, tenkaijin/Sphereite Rudo, and even his hands with and without glove. Cool af sequence fr. My eye caught Rudo's crouching form and that's how I first noticed it bahahah

From Zodyl's backstory in chapter 116. I'm sick. I never expected even the ending to contain spoilery elements like this BUT GIVING US SNIPPETS OF ZODYL'S BACKSTORY HERE IS A GREAT IDEA! Also, his little sister <3

The core of the trash beast I'm guessing.

Zodyl's and Rudo's parallels are paralleling. I like how they're looking at each other's trauma or pain buried deep within them too.

And also how they both reached out, and only Rudo's hand gained a helping hand but not...... I'M SUFFOCATING ZODYL COME TO ME BABE I'LL HEAL YOU.

[tamsywindsup]

you know there's rudo profile sheet that semiu was reading in yesterday's episode can you help to translate what it says if you could? 🙏🏻 thanks

I'll do my best 😊

Name: Rudo

Age: Around 15

Height: 153

Birth(day): July 20

Gender: Maybe male

Birthplace: Tenkai /Sphere

Favorite: Sweets

Interests: Trash (😂)

New recruit; Natural talent

Jinki: Gloves; Name: 3R

Jinki abilities; Blood type(?); Physical abilities

Enjin found him in No Man's Land. And protected him(?)

Personality: Childish, stubborn(?)

My notes 👇🏻:

Rudo's height in manga is 163 cm, so the 153 cm here might have been an anime mistake.

Yes, there's a "maybe" for Rudo's gender 🙂‍↕️

They included Rudo's jinki name as "3R" here; a little Easter egg 😲

The ones marked with (?) next to them, I'm not entirely sure if I got right so take it with a pinch of salt

Last phrase says atama kusai which lit. means smelly head😂 but I think it's just a figurative way to say Rudo is stubborn.....UNLESS Semiu really meant he's smelly af 😭
