Gachiakuta Chapter 1

The Judge appears in the first chapter as the highest authority figure Rudo encounters within the Sphere. Seated high above the courtroom, he oversees the trial regarding the death of Regto. His imposing presence highlights the immense power gap between the elite citizens and social outcasts like Rudo.

Throughout the short hearing, the Judge shows zero interest in a fair trial. He ignores the lack of physical evidence and refuses to listen to Rudo’s pleas of innocence. Instead, he bases his entire ruling on prejudice, deciding that Rudo is guilty simply because of his "criminal blood" and his association with trash.

With a final strike of his gavel, he delivers the sentence that launches the entire series: banishment to the Abyss. This cruel decision strips Rudo of his life in the "Heaven," proving to the reader that the laws of the surface world are rigged against the weak. After condemning Rudo to the pit, the Judge exits the story, leaving Rudo to survive in the Lower World on his own.
