Gachiakuta episode 7 recap

After poisoning himself with his Vital Instrument, Jabber’s body went numb. Yet, for some unknown reason, his unconscious body moved on its own and attacked Rudo. Jabber’s unpredictable actions, without a shred of hostile intent, rendered Rudo’s Vital Instrument useless, as it couldn’t detect his enemy’s presence.
Shortly after, Zanka arrived at the scene, albeit in an injured state. Although he was still suffering from Jabber’s poison, Zanka teamed up with Rudo and formed a strategy against the mysterious raider. With full hostility, Zanka aimed at Rudo, which redirected him toward Jabber, thereby allowing him to land a hit on his actual target.

This strategy bore well for the duo, except they couldn’t anticipate Jabber’s incredible endurance. When the fight seemed over, Jabber regained consciousness and approached Rudo, who was slightly pricked with the poisonous claws. Jabber abducted Rudo and was on the way out when Enjin, Tamsy, and other Cleaners arrived in time to stop him.
A fight was about to begin, but another Raider named Cthoni appeared and told Jabber that the boss was “happy.” Jabber smiled and decided to head back. Meanwhile, the Cleaners safely brought Griss outside on a stretcher. Rudo was apologetic for breaking Griss’s lucky charm. Although the item meant a lot to Griss, the Supporter assured Rudo that it was fine, as long as it could help him.
What to expect in Gachiakuta episode 8?
