Zanka - day 5

As a result of being hurt and eventually abandoned by his parents, Rudo became an emotionally closed off and introverted person, holding an intense pain and anger that would never stop burning inside him. Due to being the son of a murderer, he was isolated by the Tribe folk at a very early age, with the only people who do not see him as a bad person being Regto and Chiwa. Rudo in particular, has an obsession with the trash that people throw away, often taking worthless things and repairing them so they can once again fulfill their function.

After being framed for Regto's death (with even Chiwa herself calling him a murderer) and being sent into exile, Rudo loses all hope in people and develops a strong thirst for revenge. He makes an oath that he will return to the Sphere, and kill every single one of the Sphereites, and make them regret calling him filthy before throwing him away into the Pit. Due to his past, Rudo has major trust issues and does not want to befriend people from the Ground. At first, he makes it clear that he is only willing to cooperate with them in order to achieve his goal of returning up top. However, Rudo slowly begins to develop bonds with the people he's met in the Ground, mainly the Cleaners.

Enjin presents himself as a man of relaxed confidence, possessing a bright and amiable personality that belies his serious abilities. Despite his remarkable talents, he remains grounded and humble, often introducing himself with the self-effacing title of an "average Cleaner". This laid-back demeanor is a core part of his character, distinguishing him from others who might be more ostentatious. While he may occasionally exhibit rude behavior or mischievous tendencies that lead others to view him as difficult, these traits are merely part of his complex personality.

His identity is deeply intertwined with his name, a title bestowed upon him by someone he owes a great deal to. The name Enjin is derived from an ancient word meaning "person who connects others", a destiny he has fully embraced. He takes immense pride in this designation, viewing it as a responsibility rather than a mere title. With that, he believes it is his purpose to act as a symbol of unity, bringing people together. He extends this symbolic role to his umbrella, which he sees as a beacon for the lost, a prominent object that stands out from the crowd and serves as a visible sign of guidance and hope.

On the surface, Zanka maintains a calm and composed exterior, a stark contrast to the chaotic, emotional turmoil he often experiences within. While he strives to present a placid demeanor, his volatile inner state of anger, disgust, or excitement can erupt in sudden, exaggerated outbursts. Despite his efforts to suppress emotions, he frequently gets caught up in the antics of his more whimsical teammates, momentarily dropping his serious, no-nonsense facade. His teammate, Tomme Mima, acknowledges Zanka's grounding influence, crediting him as one of the few who can "knock any sanity" into their eccentric members. Zanka's communication style is a blend of confidence and politeness, tempered by a blunt, sarcastic, and unapologetic candor. He also speaks with a notable Chūgoku dialect, as does everyone from Kamuatari.

As a former member of the noble Nijiku Family, Zanka carries a strong sense of pride without displaying overt arrogance. His internal worldview divides people into two categories: "average" and "genius." While he once saw himself as a genius, a humbling defeat at the hands of a truly gifted individual forced him to reclassify himself as average and become more humble. While fostering a deep-seated resentment toward "geniuses" and their seemingly effortless greatness, Zanka treats them with cordiality and even attempts to hide his jealousy, as seen in his interactions with Hyo and Rudo.

Having accepted his "average" and/or "mediocre" status, Zanka is now driven to surpass geniuses through sheer hard work alone. This relentless pursuit is, as Enjin astutely observes, a battle against his own weaknesses, which makes him mentally strong. Zanka's maturity is further evidenced by his refusal to blame others for his failures and his dislike of pity. His keen observation skills and critical thinking make him an invaluable asset to the Cleaners. Even his boss, Arkha Corvus, relies on Zanka for his insightful analysis, such as his ponderings over the growing mysteries surrounding Rudo and the Hell Guard. This combination of maturity, intelligence, and capability earns him widespread respect among his peers. But happens to also be a repressed pervert…

Above anything else, Riyo is a Cleaner with a strong sense of justice. Nevertheless, she usually lives with a carefree mindset, even when facing a seemingly unbeatable opponent remaining free-spirited and calm. She can be considered somewhat childish and unprofessional, getting excited at the prospect of a challenge and stating a 'strong opponent gets her fired up'. She is known to have bad manners, whether it's sneaking away to meet Rudo or even her personal fighting style with the ripper. She shows a particular interest in hair, playing around with Rudo's and asking if it's dyed or giving Trash Beasts a haircut, acting as a hairdresser.

Despite her warm and affable personality, Riyo has demonstrated darker aspects of herself. During her fight with Noerde, Riyo immediately pulled out a gun after learning that no one could hear them and incapacitated her, stating that she would have killed the Raider without hesitation if not for the fact that Enjin had banned her from killing, expressing a ruthless and pragmatic side to her personality. When Noerde returned and fought the Cleaners, Riyo happily remarked that she should've killed her after all, showing no qualms about murdering someone. These traits of Riyo come from the fact that before she became a Cleaner, she had been working as a hitman. She also becomes highly defensive when anyone brings up her past, particularly about her family.

Eishia is incredibly shy, not being one to take credit for things she's done. She is usually seen with her head down and hands together, preferring to just not speak at all. Eishia also shows great kindness, being willing to heal all with her gifts.

While she has incredible healing skills, she does not recognise as such. When she healed Zanka, she was disappointed she couldn't heal him as well as she would have liked, and when she treated Riyo, she began fretting on how things could have been worse.

Kyouka Nijiku is an exceptionally tall, muscular woman who serves as the formidable commander of Squad One of the Red Horns, a elite division within the Hell Guard law enforcement organization in the manga and anime series Gachiakuta. Born as the firstborn of the wealthy and noble Nijiku Family, she is distinguished by a single slit in each of her eyebrows denoting her birth order. In her role as a high-ranking officer, she maintains a highly structured, calm, yet terrifyingly intimidating demeanor. She is unyielding and ruthless when dealing with criminals, often resorting to severe measures like shooting evading targets or threatening torture to extract vital information. Despite this strict and cold-hearted approach to her duties, she holds a deep sense of moral obligation to protect the citizens of the lower world and is practical enough to form temporary alliances with the "Cleaners" when the situation demands it.

Beneath her fiercely disciplined exterior, Kyouka possesses a sly, teasing sense of humor and a complex emotional life centered around her family and peers. She harbors a distinct disdain for "Givers"—individuals who draw supernatural power from objects—which fuels her open disappointment in her younger brother, Zanka, for leaving the Hell Guard to join the Cleaners after awakening his powers. Despite this friction and her history of putting him through brutal "tough love" training, she deeply loves him and affectionately calls him her "Dear Zanka." Additionally, while she maintains a fierce natural competitiveness toward the Cleaners as an organization, she harbors a hidden, playful crush on their leader, Enjin, whom she humorously refers to as "the blond charmer."

Follo Tunito is a 19-year-old character from the manga and anime series Gachiakuta, where he serves as a dedicated member of the Cleaners organization. Originally a non-powered Supporter assisting frontline fighters against toxic monsters called Trash Beasts, Follo’s intense desire to prove himself allows him to awaken his own Vital Instrument (Jinki)—a specialized hammer named "Alan." This weapon is uniquely fueled by his internal stress, allowing it to expand in size, act as a sturdy defensive shield, and unleash explosive, high-impact physical strikes. His successful cultivation of this cherished item allows him to proudly transition into the elite ranks of a frontline Giver.

On the surface, Follo maintains a highly polite, kind, and diligent demeanor that makes him easily approachable and well-liked by his peers. However, this gentle exterior hides a deep inferiority complex and fierce resentment toward being looked down upon, driven by his early lack of natural powers. Fueled by an unyielding sense of justice and a desperate wish to prove that an "average" person can achieve greatness, he pushes his physical limits to the absolute brink. Through sheer indomitable will, massive stamina, and exceptional speed, Follo relentlessly trains and fights to protect others and wipe out the Trash Beasts.

August Stilza, often nicknamed "Auggie," is a 20-year-old character from the manga and anime series Gachiakuta. He serves as the primary artisan for the Cleaners, an organization dedicated to battling toxic Trash Beasts. Operating out of a chaotic, music-blaring workshop, August is responsible for crafting the highly specialized uniforms, clothes, and protective gas masks worn by the Cleaners. Beyond his duties for the organization, he is a brilliant fashion designer who runs his own in-universe clothing brand called Collosso. Despite his eccentric habits, such as a severe tendency to procrastinate when faced with strict deadlines, he possesses an extraordinary craftsman's spirit; when left to work at his own pace, he can pump out unparalleled, master-tier gear packed with hidden tactical defenses.

Characterized by an incredibly loud, energetic, and dramatic personality, August frequently turns heads and speaks with an enthusiasm that borders on shouting. He is intensely passionate about his craft, obsessing over measurements and fabric details while treating his models and allies like masterpieces in progress. Though he can lack situational awareness and present a wild, carefree exterior, beneath the chaos lies a deeply sincere, loyal, and protective heart. He cares immensely for his allies and shares a profound bond with his family, particularly his younger sister, Eishia Stilza, who acts as the Cleaners' main healer

Semiu Grier is a 26-year-old character from the manga and anime series Gachiakuta, where she functions as the primary headquarters receptionist and leader of Team Front for the Cleaners organization. Far from being just a simple desk clerk, Semiu is a vital foundational anchor for the group, tasked with evaluating the potential and psychological stability of incoming Givers before they can officially join the ranks. She wields a unique, non-offensive Vital Instrument (Jinki) called "Eyes"—a pair of circular-framed glasses that grant her enhanced kinetic visual acuity, allow her to perceive a person's true essence, and even afford her brief, risk-laden glimpses into the future. While her Jinki is built for assessment and evasion rather than slaying monsters, she is a remarkably formidable martial artist capable of single-handedly defending headquarters from physical incursions with powerful, high-speed hand-to-hand combat.

In terms of personality, Semiu is defined by an incredibly confident, organized, and professional demeanor. She values efficiency above all else, frequently arriving at her desk to answer emergency dispatch calls as soon as dawn breaks and preferring to handle tasks as quickly and cleanly as possible. Strikingly straightforward and serious, she has absolutely zero tolerance for childish antics or workplace disruptions, routinely shutting down the eccentric behavior of fellow Cleaners like Enjin without hesitation. Beneath her strict, unamused exterior lies a deeply dedicated and protective leader who possesses a sharp, analytical mind, allowing her to recognize hidden dark curses within others while steadfastly planning ahead to secure the safety of her team

Miharu is exceptionally slender with a delicate, bird-like frame that she often accentuates with oversized hoodies and loose-fitting knit sweaters that swallow her hands. She has striking hazel eyes that she maximizes by constantly looking upward through her long lashes to appear smaller and more innocent, paired with a shoulder-length bob of wavy, milk-tea brown hair that she frequently tucks behind her ears when she pretends to be flustered. She wears minimal, "no-makeup" makeup to emphasize her natural complexion, often pointing out how she "just can't understand" how other girls spend hours on heavy foundation. Standing on the shorter side, her narrow shoulders and quiet posture are carefully maintained to project an aura of someone who needs protection, making her look effortlessly fragile next to her male peers.

In personality, Miharu acts as the ultimate soft-spoken peacemaker, constantly whispering phrases like, "Oh... I really don't want to start any drama," right before subtly dropping information that causes a stir. She builds her identity on being a "low-maintenance softy" who claims she gets overwhelmed by other girls because they are "just so loud and intimidating," preferring the company of guys who she claims are much safer and easier to get along with. Whenever a conflict arises or she gets called out on her behavior, she immediately retreats into a shell of wide-eyed innocence, using a quiet, hesitant voice to position herself as a helpless victim of "female jealousy." By constantly playing the fragile, gentle alternate to what she paints as aggressive and dramatic women, Miharu ensures that the men around her feel an instinctive need to defend her, securing her place as the chosen, conflict-averse favorite.
