Synopsis Gachiakuta:
Living in the slums of a wealthy society, there exists a population of "tribal dwellers," descendants of criminals exiled from society. Among the tribal dwellers is a young man named Rudo, who detests the wastefulness of the upper class. However, they frequently discard anything considered trash, including criminals, in a massive dumping ground beneath the city known as "The Abyss." His adoptive father, Regto, informed Rudo that his biological father was thrown into the Abyss for a crime committed before his birth. One day, after rummaging through a dumping ground, Rudo returns home to find Regto dead. Caught at the crime scene, Rudo is immediately accused of murder, despite his innocence, due to his status as a tribal dweller. Unable to escape their fate, the people vow revenge against Rudo and throw him into the Abyss.
