The chapter, titled Explosion Reprise, commences with Tamsy wondering how Follo survived. At this moment, he is shocked to see the boy wielding a Vital Instrument. The chapter confirms that Follo has indeed become a Giver and that his power isn't a result of Rudo's 3R technique.

Tamsy repulses at the thought of the Power of Friendship, which may have indeed helped Follo awaken his powers. Besides Tamsy, Gris and other supporters present in the area are perplexed. They wonder how Follo can wield such a gigantic hammer with grave injuries.

Meanwhile, Follo apologizes to Rudo for saying harsh words and thanks him for his encouraging words. However, Rudo still hasn't forgiven Follo. Nevertheless, he wants to save the small chat for later and advises him to focus on the Trash Beast ahead.

In a monologue, Follo mentions how he never wanted to become like his friend and give up his dreams. That's why, he held his emotions, no matter what the situation was. Follo now realizes how wrong he has been. Rather than suppressing emotions, he decides to explode them.

Follo then channels his new ideology to demonstrate his Vital Instrument's powers. The chapter ends with Follo destroying the Trash Beast with a charged-up blast from his Hammer.

Considering how the latest issue ended, Gachiakuta chapter 128 will likely show the aftermath of Follo's victory. Even though he has become a Giver, Follo has yet to completely master his Vital Instrument.

Moreover, there's a possibility that he's being able to push himself due to adrenaline. Once Follo comes to his normal self, he will likely require intensive care, especially due to his grave wounds.
