Gachiakuta chapter 129 is set to be published on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at 12 am JST. The most recent chapter focused heavily on the aftermath of Rudo and Follo's fight, with the latter becoming a Giver and the ramifications of this on his body.

Moreover, the bulk of the chapter gave a lot of attention to the fact that Follo became a Giver in a rather unorthodox manner and that Rudo used his last remains of power to help him awaken. This is a rather unconventional way to turn into a Giver and Gachiakuta chapter 129 is very likely to develop that idea even further.

Gachiakuta chapter 128 recap

The chapter, titled Follow Reprise, begins with the aftermath of Follo awakening his powers, losing a lot of blood, and being significantly hurt. This moment also highlights the connection that Rudo has formed with Follo during this clash after such a strong performance as a duo.

Even though the main focus was how Follo finally managed to become a Giver, there was also a discussion of what Rudo did to help the former during this battle. It is revealed that Rudo didn't use the last shot he had with his powers and denies that he used them on Follo because that would mean that the latter would disintegrate if Rudo had stopped.

Then, once Follo's wounds have been taken care of, there is a theory that Rudo did not weaponize him and that the latter was actually the trigger of that event, as evidenced by what happened in the previous chapter. The protagonist has one last chance to weaponize an object and use it to awaken Follo. Follo then asks Eishia to keep his scars so he can remember this failure. He goes to Rudo, requesting him to be friends, ending the chapter with a positive conclusion.

What to expect in Gachiakuta chapter 129? (speculative)

Considering how the latest issue ended, Gachiakuta chapter 129 is likely to deal more with the fact that Follow has become a Giver and the ramifications this will have on his combat abilities.

Moreover, Rudo played a significant role in that situation, which is another factor that could be analyzed in the coming chapters, especially considering his lack of expertise with his Vital Instrument.
