I find it very interesting how gachiakutas power system seems so simplistic at first but the further you read the series you realize how complex it can really be. All of the powers relate to how to users of the jinki view the item. Just like you said in the video how a simple item can be viewed in so many ways giving it endless possible abilities this is an example of a great power system.
Hmm But I feel like that’s also the problem because of well one semantics and two. Perspectives. Someone can be really broken from simply having a “perspective” that feels too easy for me to grasp and it makes the story feel like it takes place in a vacuum. In our world we have around 8 billion humans. What makes you think there won’t be 50% of those people who just gain god like powers like teleporting stuff and people. Simply because of a perspective. 🫣
@@Pro-Diletante This doesn’t happen because in gachi akuta weapons/jinki have weaknesses and draw backs. The world or powersystem places a limit on abilities for example rudo can only turn 3 items into a jinki at once and it takes a lot of his stamina. Also the weapons disintegrate after he is finished with it meaning he can’t just store a bunch of weapons and become too op.
I gotta disagree. This isn't complex yet but it's really simple it's just a user tool system. Like shaman King, soul eater not innovative but just the same.
@@tylamcgilverson3923I gotta disagree you’re simplifying and dumbing the power system down as much as possible that’s like me saying cursed energy is just a simple life energy system. But we both know jujutsu kaisen and gachi akuta have a lot more to their power systems so let’s not play that game.
reminds of of that tumblr post that said electricity is our world's magic because it exists everywhere in nature, even inside humans, can be used for "magical" items and too much of it can kill you
@@perogunah yeah the post where they called a *_F U L L W A V E B R I D G E R E C T I F I E R_* diagram a summoning circle of some sort (it's more like a transmutation circle; AC to DC)
Gachiakuta is so fk underrated. The art is amazing, the power system is really creative, the characters are fun asf, the story is super interesting and the fight choreography is better than most battle animanga out there. It's on the same level as Sakamoto days and JJK except the story is more interesting IMO. Edit: I didn't know this comment would spark a JJK review chain but aight
Fr, I think a lot of people underrate gachi akutas pacing. I feel like now a days shonen manga is too fast paced take a look at jujutsu kaisen, we still don’t know about the heian era, clans, numerous backstories, etc I legit could go on and on about how jujutsu kaisen doesn’t even explore these interesting subjects. Also demonslayer doesn’t explore the blue spider lily’s, the government, the past of the demonslayer corps (they do a little bit) etc. Now a days I just wanna read a shonen with good writing, world building, and cool characters I don’t care about super fast Chainsawman pacing (not saying any of these shows are bad or lack some of the stuff above just saying).
its correctly rated. you are correct that its just as dog as sakamoto days and jjk but the latter is a hxh ripoff so obviously people like it. and idk anyone irl who still reads sakamoto days.
@@MrGhostTheBigRoast I feel like after the shibuya arc the pacing just went down hill for jujustu kaisen, even the shibuya arc was fast paced but it atleast had a good structture. Culling games was aight but lacked good structure, the whole "Bring back sorcerers from old times" was so interesting to me and an amazing chance to explore the lore of the heian era and clans but gege just said "Fuck it" rushed the arc and made is undercooked and underwhelming. The fights in the culling games are top tier with strategy and mind games evolved but lacked the story to compliment it. And now in this current arc I feel like gege is gonna have to really cook and write so he can at least save parts of his lack luster world building. Other than that I didn't read sakamoto days and also have you read gachiakuta before saying it's dog I think it has a really solid story and cool characters.
JJK is a good example of all looks no substance, while the powers and characters are great the writer throws much of the development and world lore out of the window for shock value and cool fights, something HxH does way better. Everything in HxH is connected to the world and characters. Demon Slayer AFAIK the writer panicked after the sudden success of the manga and cut it short, when the anime came out and the sales exploded the manga was at the Sword Village arc and they decided to speed up due to that. It was a bad decision IMO as most of the people commented tons of unanswered plot points or under developed conclusions, but I prefer that over Narutoing/Bleaching for infinite.
It feels like mangas are getting more and more creative with their power systems. One other manga that has a cool power system is No/Name, wich uses the character names as their power. It sadly only has a single chapter, but i really hope they continue making more chapter. Plus, it was done by the same people who wrote cyberpunk edgerunners (or something like that, i can't really remember. I just know that the creators are related to cbp edgerunners somehow lol(
It reminds me a lot of fullbring from Bleach. People with the power to pull souls out of objects, spending lot's of time with it will cause it to develop powers when pulling the soul out, using it drains your stamina. I'd say the main difference is that fullbrings powers are based on your desires and perspective on life while jinki is based specifically on the object. I'd say its probably inspired by the fullbringer arc of bleach, especially since the main characters goal is literally the goal and backstory for the main villain of the arc, they're accused of a crime they didn't commit, get exiled, and then seek for revenge. Seems like the author is doing their own thing with it thou since the setting is really unique, I just find the similarities very cool, makes me think they are inspired by the series.
I’d argue a good portion of this concept being shared not only with these manga, but also elsewhere in Japanese media is just because the concept of ‘objects with souls’ is rooted in Shinto-it’s the origin of more than a couple of famous yokai, for example! If you’re curious about this, look up ‘Tsukumogami’-the general gist being after 100 years, household items become sentient and imbued with souls, and creatures/yokai in of themselves :)
This was a verygod video... Whenever I see a RUclipsr praise or talk about FIRE FORCE, SOUL EATER, SAKAMOTO DAYS, GACHIAKUTA OR DANDADAN... My brain goes on auto SUBSCRIBE, cuz they know good stuff. I love how you explained it. Didn't spoil it for the new readers, nor leave out important things for the old goons. Perfect
The only reason I do not like Fire Force is the fan service is a bit too much, there is tasteful fan service and there is tasteless fan service, FF is the latter
I agree! The main concept is pretty similar, but the possibilities and twists of said concept on Gachiakuta (to me) are more interesting and appealing. In my opinion, it's like a Fullbringer 2.0
I think it's exactly fullbring, just like how perspective changes the effects of something same for for fullbring only difference is gachi focusing on trash as a theme not saying this in a bad way at all I'm a big gachi fan too but it straight up is the same as fullbring
This also shows a fun trick to make a power: create 2 features that have lots of options. This system has the object and the experience associated with it. Scissors + holding them in your feet, gloves and fixing up trash, etc. Just taking two catagories and mixing them together to create a power system does a lot of the legwork! Like maybe combing inorganic matter and organic processes, art and memories, or elemental magic and musical magic! All you have to do to make a great power system this way is either build a story’s themes around this, or select categories or concepts which are connected to the themes you want to explore. That “Inorganic material, organic processes” sounds like a great system for magical robots, which can connect to themes of nature vs artificiality or what parts of us make us human. Art + Memory sounds like a great power system for an exploration of what role art plays in the human condition, or maybe how greed and corruption can infect art (maybe the villains are corporations or a government and the protagonists are graffiti artists?). And if you wanted to go the other way, maybe you want to do a story about how people are shaped by expectations. Some catagories and ideas that come to mind are disguises, illusion, lies, puppetry, and authority. Maybe you could combine Disguises and Puppetry to create a system where your identity and your self is an expendable resource. Like you can implant a bit of yourself into another person to control them, or create telekinetic forces at the risk of losing your appearance and memories. Basically, this was just me rambling about how combining concepts which would be boring on their own can create a power system that is creative while also being thematic (you’re welcome to them if you thought they were cool)
Thank you so much for making video and covering that of the power system! Gachiakuta is definitley up as one of my current favorite Action Dark Fantasy manga's. And part of the reason outside of the art in itself is because Jinki's and Givers as a whole is such a unique and clever idea that it just is enamoring and you never feel bored seeing how crazy it can and does get.
In vygotskijs sociocultural theory an important piece of how we learn is how we mediate through artefacts. In other words we learn through how we interact, perceive and converse about objects and concepts. This sounds like the author thought "what if i made that a superpower".
Im so happy to see people talking about gachiakuta its so peak, everything about it is amazing but feels like nobody reads it. so hype for the anime tho thats def gonna bring it to the spotlight
Just finished binge reading the series till latest chap not long ago, and omg i couldn't describe how awesome the storytelling is. All characters are well-built not just the cool costume designs. You'd love the interactions among the characs and also the villains. They have flaws, the readers will grow along with the characs in the story. Truly underrated manga by far.
I can't help but thinking "awakening" devil fruits in One Piece, when it comes to the idea of "perspective" being the main limitation. I'd also be willing to say it even has an aspect with OP's haki, given you need new perspective of potential to surpass what you had thought a pinnacle. Definitely love that this power system delves directly into that concept, while cutting out a lot of the "middle men" concepts that One Piece dabbles in.
I dunno, you said it was different but then we have a protagonist who can do everything, and most items being used in a fairly straightorward way. Props to the boots, though.
Yes, I tried not giving many spoilers, but if you give the manga a go, you'll see what I'm talking about. There are a lot of straightforward items, for sure, but there are a lot of weird ones too. By the way, the protagonist can almost do anything, just like you said, but how he uses some items through the manga is not only creative but very innovative, the totem exemple of the video is just the tip of the iceberg (to me, its pretty cool how he interprets the idea of "getting back home safe" and creates this "agression teleporter field" kind of power)
Amazing video, brother. Very glad it brought so many new viewers to the channel. Also, I´m not sure, mas pelo teu sotaque eu chutaria que é brasileiro, se sim, parabéns pelo conteúdo mano, em inglês ainda, pqp. Tava pensando em abrir um canal em inglês também pra falar sobre mangá mas não sei se tenho tempo pra dedicar a ele. Well, after all that i really hope you´re brazilian, congratulations again mate.
Eaeeee, mano, pensa assim, se for algo q vc vai curtir fazer, n importa a quantidade de vídeos q vai postar, o importante é começar! Valeu pelo apoio meu querido, ansioso pra ver seus vídeos!!
Just found this video & hearing the 3 principles of the power system made my adhd brain imagine so many possibilities! also the rough art style of the manga is something I personally love
I red the first chapter a while ago when it was really new but I always like to read a good chunk so I guess now it's time to get back. The art style is amazing and the power system is as you said a breath of fresh air
Reminds me of frieren’s power system for their magic. “If you can’t imagine it you can’t create it” Only the mages capable of believing the impossible is possible are capable of producing it. This goes further when mages are taking their tests to rank up basically, if they can’t envision themselves as a top class mage, then they won’t be. Usable in the real world ~ “dress for the position you want not the position you have” etc.
I found this manga a few months ago and was excited when I found out that it's going to get an anime. Also, the fact that Studio Bones is animating is awesome! I have high hopes for it!
I love when they put this Shinto thing as a power system, just by looking at all the mangas that have done this you can see that they are very creative. A good example is Shaman King and the Fullbringers arc from Bleach, every now and then I always catch myself thinking what it would be like if JoJo's had this power system.
I recently started reading this manga. I don't know much about the author, but she looks like a badass Japanese goth gal. I would say more, but you pretty much said all i wanted to say
I totally agree!! Sanderson is one of the goats. Elantris is one my favorite books ever. I would go crazy if he announced a manga/anime, the man is just built different
It's a very interesting power system for sure. I haven't read the manga yet, but i have 3 questions: - Doesn't that mean the powers are basically mini versions of Deus Ex Machina? - If true, what the narrative does to prevent that or from becoming that? - Doesn't the girl uses the scissors purely for fan-service? lol Again, I have yet to read the manga, but from the video, i couldn't get anything that would prevent someone to just go like "i have a pen as a jinki. And as I see it, i can rewrite events that transpire with it." The dude could basically be Kira from Death Note or straight up change an event in the story. All that being said, still sounds like a fun time binge manga, so I might give it a try anyways :P
1. A lot of the time in the story they used their powers (also known as jinki) in clever ways to solve a problem it isn’t an ass pull when they do it because it’s throughly explained that their weapons or jinki is capable of it. 2. Every jinki has its weaknesses to Limit the power of it, the more op the ability is the greater drawback it’ll have if it’s a weaker ability then it’ll have less drawbacks probably just stamina drain and something else.
This sounds like fullbring. In Bleach, some people can bring the "soul" of some things that are significant to them. Watches, boots, emblems, bookmarkers. They resonate with the user as an extension
If you want to read another manga with an absolutely fantastic and incredibly unique power system; Undead Unluck is amazing. It has pretty much the same in terms of interpretation that you like about Jinki's, where Negators negate a certain rule in reality, but how they do so depends fully on their perspective of the rule.
@@gekuul9616 Undead Unluck is very unique indeed! Not just the powers, but the humor too lol I really have to catch up on the manga, thanks for remembering me 🫡
Cool video! A small thing- the way you pronounce 'used' "Yu-zed" is very different from how fluent speakers say it, which is the one syllable "yUzd", as a content creator it might be helpful to iron this one out a tad. Cheers
I really love a good hard system explained, but I don't agree with the intro about soft magic being boring just because isn't really expanded to the reader/viewer unless its a very personal take, soft magic systems can be very cool like what we see on Frieren or Lord of the Rings, the conistency can totally be archieved on both soft and hard systems, just depends on how avid is the writter in question
Do I continue? Convince me. I watch a ton of anime but recently got into reading and wanted something new so picked vol 1 up. I think the art is one of the top I've seen so far and the idea of cherishing something you love vs. throwing it away is a good concept but the rest of it was just kind of mehh to me. Also didn't know that the author worked with the SE and FF creator and I thought those anime were amazing. Thought of picking up more but I could also get other things that are already so far this is amazing that I want to continue. I definitely don't read for pleasure for a meh story when I have many other awesome stories I could read.
Sounds like the power system plays on the idea of Kids literally playing on a dumpster. Grab anything as a weapon of your choice, and make up whatever b.s. you like as its ability. I grew up living next to a dumpster, the settings alone might trigger some fond memories playing with other kids 😂
It depends tbh some jenkis completely counter guns for example there’s a jenki that allows the user to completely dodge bullets (it basically allows the user to tell the kinetic path a bullet will travel allowing you to move out the way of it.). And plus any decent jenki user is generally super human and can defeat any person with a gun fairly easily. Though if they get caught off guard they can get tagged by one.
This sounds like the manga is really random, and they can have any power and change any situation at any time, hope does not get boring and character development gets slow

I red the first chapter a while ago when it was really new but I always like to read a good chunk so I guess now it's time to get back. The art style is amazing and the power system is as you said a breath of fresh air
I like to binge-read too, and you definitely should hop on the Gachiakuta train again, this arc is just fire!
Good video man! Definitely intrigued in Gachiakuta even more knowing the creators of FF & Soul Eater had a hand in it🔥
Thank you, man! Give it a try! It's very good
Yoooo this video really got pretty popular congrats it might even hit 200k+!
@@constantdreams7918 Thank you!! I'm glad this manga is getting more attention!!
Irmão, tu mandou mt.
I've been following weekly since around chapter 10, and the story still never ceases to surprise me
Reminds me of frieren’s power system for their magic.
“If you can’t imagine it you can’t create it”
Only the mages capable of believing the impossible is possible are capable of producing it.
This goes further when mages are taking their tests to rank up basically, if they can’t envision themselves as a top class mage, then they won’t be.
Usable in the real world ~ “dress for the position you want not the position you have” etc.
Didn't know K Urana looked so punk. I like her even more now
The fact that it is even getting an anime is crazy cuz i was somehow so sure that this will never get one
Video daora mano, achei que você cobriu bem o assunto. Sucesso mano
Really well produced video. Thanks for sharing. Best of luck with your channel.
I found this manga a few months ago and was excited when I found out that it's going to get an anime. Also, the fact that Studio Bones is animating is awesome! I have high hopes for it!
Me too! I can't wait
It’s basically the Fullbringers powers in Bleach.
How is this not an anime.....
Studio Bones is releasing one for it in 2025!
@@peytonroyall1787what?! THE Studio Bones?
not YET
@@suspiciousfigure3096yeah and their A team too
@@tnl-warrior3218 I think I'm gonna die 😭
Thank you so much for introducing me to this manga man
I love when they put this Shinto thing as a power system, just by looking at all the mangas that have done this you can see that they are very creative. A good example is Shaman King and the Fullbringers arc from Bleach, every now and then I always catch myself thinking what it would be like if JoJo's had this power system.
Nobody does power systems better than Brandon Sanderson. Mistborn? Stormlight? No contest.
@@pkre707 you are right, Sanderson is the goat
Awesome video, made me really interested in the manga.
Thanks! Hope you like the manga!
gotta subscribe. I never heard of this but im already hooked.
What really drew me in to read this manga was the art style
Great video my bro !
i never really go out of my way to buy manga But this one really caught my eye, bought the first 3 books and its amazing
I recently started reading this manga.
I don't know much about the author, but she looks like a badass Japanese goth gal. I would say more, but you pretty much said all i wanted to say
Ayyyyy my homie recommended this manga super W
I saw a video 2 years ago about the first chapter and totally forgot about. Might have to check it out
It would be so cool if brandon sanderson ever made a manga/anime series, all of his magic systems are kinda interesting
I totally agree!! Sanderson is one of the goats. Elantris is one my favorite books ever. I would go crazy if he announced a manga/anime, the man is just built different
Been loving this manga, the art is fuckin SICK as well and Okubo's influence is coming through hard in the latter chapters.
gotta say that thumbnail is sick!
It's a very interesting power system for sure. I haven't read the manga yet, but i have 3 questions:
- Doesn't that mean the powers are basically mini versions of Deus Ex Machina?
- If true, what the narrative does to prevent that or from becoming that?
- Doesn't the girl uses the scissors purely for fan-service? lol
Again, I have yet to read the manga, but from the video, i couldn't get anything that would prevent someone to just go like "i have a pen as a jinki. And as I see it, i can rewrite events that transpire with it." The dude could basically be Kira from Death Note or straight up change an event in the story. All that being said, still sounds like a fun time binge manga, so I might give it a try anyways :P
1. A lot of the time in the story they used their powers (also known as jinki) in clever ways to solve a problem it isn’t an ass pull when they do it because it’s throughly explained that their weapons or jinki is capable of it.
2. Every jinki has its weaknesses to Limit the power of it, the more op the ability is the greater drawback it’ll have if it’s a weaker ability then it’ll have less drawbacks probably just stamina drain and something else.
2 Looks like Nen from HxH@@constantdreams7918
This sounds like fullbring. In Bleach, some people can bring the "soul" of some things that are significant to them. Watches, boots, emblems, bookmarkers. They resonate with the user as an extension
Gachiakuta is gonna blow up like Dandadan when the anime drops 100%. Cant wait :)
Cool power. I think Japanese spirit items are called Tsukumogami.
Damn the main character's jinki really sounds like the power of jack the ripper from record of Ragnarok. And i love both of them ❤❤
Mano mt zika
To ligado que cê é br
Conteúdo lindo meu querido
Valeu meu chegado!!
this video made me order vol 1. I love jjk and I read the bleach manga so this seems great
If you want to read another manga with an absolutely fantastic and incredibly unique power system; Undead Unluck is amazing.
It has pretty much the same in terms of interpretation that you like about Jinki's, where Negators negate a certain rule in reality, but how they do so depends fully on their perspective of the rule.
@@gekuul9616 Undead Unluck is very unique indeed! Not just the powers, but the humor too lol I really have to catch up on the manga, thanks for remembering me 🫡
@@TheMangotaku And thank YOU for reminding me to catch up to Gachiakuta :)
So does it have to be an object you can use over and over? Or can a jinki be something consumable like a cheeseburger?
funny thing is that before discovering this manga I made vert similar magic system for a story I'm making... hate when that happens...
Cool video! A small thing- the way you pronounce 'used' "Yu-zed" is very different from how fluent speakers say it, which is the one syllable "yUzd", as a content creator it might be helpful to iron this one out a tad. Cheers
That's some sick ass art! I love every lines the mangaka used!
Ive been reading it since it started releasing. Truly peak fiction
Totally agree! This show is something else
Gachiakuta's power system is literally that one rdcworld1 skit
Great content, king.
Are U brasilian BTW?
Oh yes, my friend!
1:34 when I saw the thumbnail I instantly got soul eater and fire force vibes!
Fun Fact: The mangaka is literally Okubo’s assistant from Fire Force!
great video
It's funny how I can tell you're brazilian by how you pronounce english. Really liked the video btw!
The power systems cool but it really gets me going when someone just pulls out a gun
@@Discioto There's a scene just like that in the manga (funny and scary at the same time lol)
so you are saying, i could use the cool stick i found in the park as an actual weapon? sick
I really love a good hard system explained, but I don't agree with the intro about soft magic being boring just because isn't really expanded to the reader/viewer unless its a very personal take, soft magic systems can be very cool like what we see on Frieren or Lord of the Rings, the conistency can totally be archieved on both soft and hard systems, just depends on how avid is the writter in question
"Objects that are cherished have a soul of its own".
Going Merry enters the chat*
Chad music starts*
Great vid.
There's an anime that already had that but it's too lewd to turn into a proper anime.
So it's like zampaktu from bleach ?
Mon ami you sound french. Amazing video, bonus points for linkin park.
I really really hope studio bones doesn’t mess the anime adaptation up
They won't! (copium )
conteúdo maravilhoso, boa referência com a manga tmb kkk
Ahh these thing works just like them "Shinki" from Noragami
So essentially the mc sees his gloves as tools that allows him to properly fix and bring out the true potential of a piece of trash
Do I continue? Convince me. I watch a ton of anime but recently got into reading and wanted something new so picked vol 1 up. I think the art is one of the top I've seen so far and the idea of cherishing something you love vs. throwing it away is a good concept but the rest of it was just kind of mehh to me. Also didn't know that the author worked with the SE and FF creator and I thought those anime were amazing. Thought of picking up more but I could also get other things that are already so far this is amazing that I want to continue. I definitely don't read for pleasure for a meh story when I have many other awesome stories I could read.
Hope it gets a anime
It will! In 2025
This is like soul eater fused with you dorohedoro but so Grunge
Man, that's actually it! lol
Holy shit the music hits hard, what is the Band?
this
It's a royalty free heavy metal instrumental named "Game Over" here on RUclips, and yes, it hits hard lol
“I’m already bad at math as it is , I really hope my teacher doesn’t have a heavy accent to where I can’t understand him: the teacher :
People can't understand me 👽
I think youd find O-parts hunter and Psyren for o be very interesting
Omg 2025 is STACKED avenger movies, gta6 this and so much more!!!
Sounds like the power system plays on the idea of Kids literally playing on a dumpster. Grab anything as a weapon of your choice, and make up whatever b.s. you like as its ability.
I grew up living next to a dumpster, the settings alone might trigger some fond memories playing with other kids 😂
Law of ueki ahh power system
I find it funny that characters can withstand jinki but they dont stand a chance to a regular 9mm
Don't mess with 9mm, 9mm will f you up
It depends tbh some jenkis completely counter guns for example there’s a jenki that allows the user to completely dodge bullets (it basically allows the user to tell the kinetic path a bullet will travel allowing you to move out the way of it.). And plus any decent jenki user is generally super human and can defeat any person with a gun fairly easily. Though if they get caught off guard they can get tagged by one.
I wonder what Brandon Sanderson would think
Awesome power system wow
FINALLY GACHIAKUTA GET THE RECOGNITION ITS DESERVES!!!! ANIME IN 2025!!! LETS GOOOOOOO
THE HYPE IS REALLLLLL
"Only 100 chapters" haaaaa thats funny
This sounds like the manga is really random, and they can have any power and change any situation at any time, hope does not get boring and character development gets slow
Until now, it feels pretty good, let's hope it keeps improving!
Thanks for the time taken doing this videos, keep it up
The most innovative Power System in a while ? Undead Unluck was released in 2019 and is still being published
