The streaming service will broadcast this episode in many other countries as well, like North America/Central America/South America/Europe/Africa/Oceania/the Middle East, and South East Asia.What Can You Expect from Gachiakuta Episode 23?Following the major events in Episode 22, it's expected that Gaciakuta Episode 23 will explore what happens after the Cleaners make their escape from the Trash Beast after the big kaiju transformation by Guita, which allowed them to get home safely, although there are still many unanswered questions.Noerde gets erased by the Watchman at the border (Image Source: Studio Bones)Gachiakuta Episode 23 will be about what happened to Amo after the Raiders attacked. Rudo was able to get her boots during all the excitement, so maybe she will meet up with him, or he will rescue her. There’s a lot of mystery about the link between Amo and the Raiders and what Bundus hinted at when he said that there’s something Rudo doesn’t know about them.Gachiakuta Episode 23 will likely have a crazy revelation when it reveals the Watchman entity that keeps watch over the border between the Sphere and the Ground. This huge being looks like it takes all of the good stuff from anyone trying to cross the border without a way to protect themselves. So we should see more about the link between the Watchman series items and how to cross the border safely.What Happened in Gachiakuta Episode 22?Guita's Vital Instrument saves everyone (Image Source: Studio Bones)There were some big reveals in the last episode, plus lots of cool stuff happening at the same time! Noerde gave her life to help Zodyl by sending out all her energy through her hair covered with electricity so he could take the Trash Beast and run away. When everything happened so fast, Noerde got sucked out of the hole in the wall. As she flew through the air, she ran into a giant known as "The Watchman," who showed up in the sky with its arms crossed and wearing the same symbol that was on all the Watchman merchandise. It ate Noerde, along with her Instrument of Vitality, so we now officially have our first significant character death since Regto.Guita finally revealed her Vital Instrument abilities, transforming into a massive kaiju. She was able to use the plushie suit to grow her body so big that she was able to plug the hull breach with it and subsequently give the team a safe ride to their final destination. Bundus said Guita could actually grow larger, and that her current size was only "size three."The episode also confirmed that a creature called "The Watchman" steals everything valuable from anyone trying to cross the border. This helps to explain how Rudo survived his first fall from the Sphere, as it is likely that Rudo's Watchman Series gloves protected him from harm. Therefore, we can assume that any item having to do with the Watchman Series will allow someone to cross the border safely.After the Cleaners crash-landed safely (but barely, as no one ever returns alive) in the vicinity of the fortified city, they were able to meet back up with Gris. Unfortunately, they began to see the devastation of the city from the bombardment of debris from the Trash Storm.Gachiakuta Episode 23 will provide answers to many of the questions viewers have during the course of the season, all while building up to the epic finale. With the Bones Film production continuing its tradition of producing quality animation and the series moving into the final act, viewers can expect an emotional plot in Gachiakuta Episode 23 that drives the storyline forward towards its climactic conclusion.
