In Gachiakuta Chapter 137, titled “The Real Doll Festival,” tensions escalated as the layers behind the festival’s sinister undertones began to peel away. The chapter opened with Mildretta sensing a troubling aura near the event grounds, a premonition that was quickly followed by both her and Agra being intercepted and questioned by members of the Hell Guard, foreshadowing larger unrest.
Inside the auditorium, Rudo was left stunned by the Choker Maker‘s cryptic directive: that he must “destroy the festival.” The command seemed aggressive at first, but was soon clarified. The true intent was to save the people, as the festival was being used as a front for something more ominous—world domination through Chokers. As Rudo wrestled with this revelation, the entire crowd fell silent under a strange influence, revealing the terrifying extent of the mind-control.
The chapter’s final twist exposed the true manipulator: Mymo, the seemingly innocent reporter, who was in fact using the attendees’ costume Chokers as tools for domination. This reveal marked a dramatic shift in the story’s momentum, turning the celebration into a battlefield of control and resistance.
Looking ahead to Gachiakuta Chapter 138, Rudo’s next move will be critical. He is likely to attempt a direct confrontation with Mymo, though given the Choker-induced mind control and her strategic use of voice commands, it may not be simple. The Choker Maker’s presence—mysterious and knowledgeable—could prove crucial. If he steps out from the shadows and guides Rudo more openly, we may finally learn about his origins and the extent of his knowledge about this dangerous technology.
Outside, the Hell Guard’s involvement will almost certainly deepen as the anomalies become impossible to ignore. With Mildretta and Agra near the scene, their potential intervention could become the tipping point in the unfolding chaos. There’s also the looming possibility that other Cleaners may take action—some aligning with Rudo, others perhaps siding with darker forces.
Meanwhile, Mymo’s true goal—the “power to rule”—remains shrouded. Chapter 138 might offer glimpses into her backstory, motivations, or even her connections to the deeper conspiracies that haunt the world of Gachiakuta.
The upcoming chapter promises high-stakes action, emotional confrontations, and possibly the unraveling of some long-standing secrets. Fans can catch Gachiakuta Chapter 138 on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 12 am JST, available on Kodansha’s K Manga service in select regions.
