Young scavenger Rudo Surebec struggles to survive in the slums where the elite Spherites dispose of their waste. He is mocked for his tribal origin, as his father was a serial killer executed the Pit. One day, Rudo witnesses the murder of his adoptive father Regto, and is falsely accused of said crime, leading him to be sentenced to the Pit, a vast garbage wasteland. Swearing vengeance against the Spherites, Rudo is rescued from Trash Beasts by a mysterious Cleaner named Enjin. He takes Rudo to a truck stop where he confronts traffickers as a test to awaken his latent powers. Finding he is a Giver, a person that can grant objects life as Vital Instruments, Enjin recruits him into the Cleaners, an organization that takes on the Trash Beasts. Remembering that said objects once had souls, Rudo wonders about returning to the Sphere with them. After a brief altercation between Rudo and another Cleaner and Giver, Zanka Nijiku, Enjin takes the both of them to the Cleaner headquarters.

Original release date

In a class-divided world, the elite Sphereites dispose of their waste into the slums below, where the young scavenger Rudo struggles to survive. As a tribesfolk, descended from criminals, he endures mockery for his father's violent past, a serial killer executed in the Pit. Rudo conceals a painful affliction in his hands, alleviated only by gloves from his adoptive father, Regto. After gifting his crush Chiwa a stuffed toy, he returns home to find a masked intruder stabbing Regto and stealing a book. With his dying breath, Regto urges Rudo to change the unjust world. Falsely accused of the murder, Rudo is sentenced to the Pit while the tribesfolk taunt him as trash. Even Chiwa betrays him, coldly declaring him the son of a murderer before discarding his gift. Devastated, Rudo condemns both the tribesfolk and Sphereites as equally corrupt, swearing vengeance against the killer, the elite, and the slum-dwellers. Cast into the Pit, he awakens in a wasteland of garbage, only to face immediate attack by a monstrous Trash Beast.

After witnessing a criminal's execution in the Ground and hearing slurs against the impure tribes, Rudo flees from Trash Beasts, questioning their origin. Discovering a buried skull, he curses the Sphereites for exiling him, then sees a vision of Regto, hardening his resolve. A Mysterious Man watches as Rudo attacks but collapses from the toxic air. The stranger saves him, destroying the beasts with an umbrella. Awakening, Rudo is given a mask by the man, who reveals himself as Enjin, a Cleaner. After restraining Rudo, Enjin dismisses his pleas to return to the Sphere, instead taking him to a truck stop. Locals, recognizing Rudo as a Sphereite, feign friendliness before capturing him for trafficking. Forced to eat trash, Rudo bites off two of the captor's fingers and fights back until Enjin stops him. Enjin reveals the ordeal was a test for latent power, offering knowledge of the Ground in exchange for joining the Cleaners: Rudo refuses.

After bringing Rudo to a doctor in the Ground, Enjin reveals the boy is a Giver: someone who can breathe life into objects. He scouts Rudo for the Cleaners, an organization that defeats creatures born from garbage. Rudo recalls his father Regto once said objects have souls and wonders if joining could help him return to the Sphere. Enjin admits he does not know the way back but suggests the Cleaners' boss might. When Enjin departs, a cat steals Rudo's money pouch. Chasing it, Rudo seizes a stick to pin it down, but the weapon belongs to fellow Cleaner and Giver Zanka Nijiku. Rudo apologizes, remembering his father's advice to respect others' feelings. Zanka surprisingly responds with an apology and a smile, until he realizes Rudo's "weapon" is a filthy toilet plunger. Horrified, Zanka tries to flee, but a confused Rudo unleashes a humiliating barrage. Enjin later collects the two battered boys. In his car, a lively girl named Riyo appears, teasing Rudo about his unusual hair and flustering him completely.

Enjin drives Rudo to the Cleaners' headquarters, a towering building marked by twisted street lamps. Inside, Rudo meets Semiu, the receptionist whose glasses reveal a person's true nature. Shocked by what she sees, she insists he still needs training. Since the boss is away, Riyo suggests Rudo observe her on a mission. Semiu briefs them: a nearby town near a polluted zone has requested aid against emerging trash beasts. She explains the Ground consists of safe zones and polluted zones, the latter crawling with trash beasts. Accompanied by Supporters Gris, Follo, and Tomme, Rudo and Riyo head to the site. A herd of trash beasts attacks, and Riyo calmly activates her scissors, the Ripper. When Follo is targeted, Rudo instinctively awakens a metal pipe as a vital instrument, saving him. A massive beast appears, strangely resilient until Riyo pierces its glowing weak point, revealing a vital instrument inside the creature. Elsewhere, Rudo's old kidnapper awakens, questioned coldly about the missing Sphereite.

A lively welcome party is held for Rudo at Cleaners headquarters.

Back at HQ, Semiu answers a merchant's request for help recovering cargo stolen by a trash beast: a Sphereite. Zanka leads the team, with Rudo insisting on joining. The merchant offers to guide them, but Zanka remains suspicious. Inside the beast's lair, the floor collapses, separating the Cleaners. Two Raiders confront them, specifically targeting Rudo. Gris and Follo get him to safety while Zanka battles the ambushers, defeating them with his staff. However, the purple-eyed Raider closes in, intent on claiming Rudo.

Gris, Follo, Rudo, and the support staff reach the exit, but the deranged Raider pursuing them blocks their escape, demolishing the doorway. He casually states someone wants to meet Rudo and, when asked, assures them Zanka is alive, though just barely. Summoning his clawed vital instrument, he demands Rudo surrender. Gris shields the boy, but the Raider pierces his side, declaring him already dead as Gris's cherished talisman falls free. Shock grips Rudo, and the world turns monochrome. A memory surfaces of his adoptive father Regto encouraging him to find joy, which he discovered in salvaging discarded items and recognizing their hidden value. Returning to the present, Gris's talisman triggers Rudo's Anima. He manifests a massive floating totem embodying Gris's prayers, which grants him an impenetrable defense. The Raider introduces himself as Jabber and lunges, but his strikes fail against the barrier while Rudo counterattacks with relentless punches. Jabber collapses, yet using the neurotoxin in his claws, Mankira, he severs his own conscious thought. Though unconscious, his body rises again, moving on pure instinct.

Jabber's unconscious body moves autonomously. To protect the injured Gris and Follo, Rudo lures him away but is caught by his blades. A poisoned Zanka intervenes, feigning an attack on Rudo to use the talisman's repelling force against Jabber, jolting him awake. As Zanka collapses and Rudo's vital instrument shatters, Rudo also succumbs to poison. Jabber impales himself, hoists Rudo over his shoulder, and escapes through the ceiling. Riyo and other Cleaners arrive, and Enjin frees Rudo by slamming Jabber into a wall. Jabber refuses to retreat until fellow raider Cthoni informs him their boss was pleased. A poisoned Rudo vows to continue their fight, and Jabber reveals their leader possesses a symbol from the same "series" as Rudo's gloves before escaping through a portal. The Support staff stabilizes Gris, and Rudo apologizes for breaking the talisman, receiving Gris's assurance that he is glad it was of use.

After washing his treasured gloves, Rudo finds Riyo lying on his bed, as she entered through his window after hearing him in pain from her room above; the next day, Enjin and Gris observe the Cleaners' resident artist crafting Rudo's full face mask, which Corvus explains is essential for venturing into No Man's Land, necessitating further preparations including a visit to a Giver in Canvas Town for a protective spell. The full team of Givers—Riyo, Zanka, Delmon, Tamsy, and Enjin—and Supporters—Follo, Gris, and Tomme—gather for the journey, and upon arriving in Canvas Town, a literal canvas for its residents' creativity, they learn from the mayor that the Giver Gob has died from body pollution but chose a successor, a young non-binary individual named Remlin Tysark; overcoming their grief, Remlin seizes Gob's pen, runs to the roof, and joyfully casts their first spell, transforming spray cans into endless fireworks that light up the city, prompting the mayor to apologize for the subsequent delay in obtaining the protective spell, which Enjin accepts without complaint.

Remlin, the new spellcaster of Canvas Town, finally has a moment to draw a spell on Rudo and the other Cleaners, after that, Back at headquarters, the overexcited artist August shouts with joy that Rudo's full-face mask is done. As the Cleaners team gets ready to head out on their mission, Enjin tells Rudo to hold out his new choker. Each Cleaner draws blood from their own thumb and places a drop on the choker, to Rudo's shock. It's what allows them to communicate through the device. Finally, the team is ready to venture into the No Man's Land (known as Penta) where the red dunes of the Penta desert are not made of sand, but of garbage that's worn down into dust, to find the woman who has witnessed travelers moving between the Ground and the Sphere, after fighting the scorpion-like trash beasts, a young girl wearing oversized boots—and no mask—approaches the Cleaners. Soft-spoken, she asks the group if they've come to visit Amo. Zanka thinks it's too easy if they found who they were looking for so quickly. Riyo asks her bluntly if she is the one who has seen travelers come and go, and the girl says she is. She invites them inside to talk away from the polluted air. Enjin says confidently that they'll all go, and he'll be the one to take her on if it turns into a fight, however, Enjin collapsing on the floor with drool pouring from his mouth. The girl watches with a sly smile with Rudo in shock.

Following Amo's directive, the Cleaners accompany her to her residence in No Man's Land, a remarkably preserved tower that pierces the sky. At the peak, Rudo asks about travel between the Ground and the Sphere, but Amo deflects with a question about his preferences in women. Enjin interrupts, accusing her of using flirtation as a bargaining tool, which agitates Amo. She activates her boots, and Enjin is ambushed from behind by Delmon. Amo taunts the group and, displeased by their silence, berates them. While Zanka tends to Enjin, Delmon threatens his teammates to protect Amo. Rudo then experiences a hallucination, seeing Amo as Chiwa, the girl who betrayed him. Amo explains she is using a scent that causes individuals to perceive her as someone they love. As Zanka and Tamsy don gas masks, a conflicted Rudo instinctively moves to protect the hallucinatory image of Chiwa-Amo. With other teammates joining the fight to defend her, Tamsy reluctantly prepares to use his vital instrument against his friends.

In her recounting to the Cleaners, Amo becomes lost in memories of her past. She recalls her mother selling her to a paranoid trafficker known as Mister, who imprisons her in the Tower. There, he subjects her to extreme abuse while also providing books, food, and dresses. One day, after a "ritual", two masked figures emerge, strike Mister, and remove his boots. The taller figure offers them to Amo. The figures then approach a large hole in the wall, reveal glowing wings, and fly away. When a recovering Mister demands the boots back, Amo resists. The boots activate during their struggle, and she pushes him through the hole to his death. Months pass, and in the present, Amo draws the angel on the floor. Rudo recognizes the mask as belonging to Regto's killer. Amo interrupts his rage, asking if his gloves also filled a void, stating no apology is needed in a world where hands are used only for violence. A calm Rudo suggests they could instead use their hands for connection. After Amo returns to her tower, a shadow falls upon her; Jabber soon exits, his mission accomplished.

In a dark chamber, the Cleaners confront the Raiders, with Rudo demanding to know Amo's location. Receiving no answer, a trashslide erupts from a tunnel, sweeping away all the Cleaners except Rudo. The other Raiders pursue the scattered Cleaners through portals, isolating Rudo with their leader, Zodyl Typhon. He approaches, stating he shares Rudo's rage and proposes they destroy the Sphere together; they experience a shared vision of its fiery descent to the Ground. When Rudo reiterates his question about Amo, Zodyl admonishes him for wasting time. Concurrently, the other Cleaners engage their Raider opponents: Jabber and Zanka resume their previous conflict, with Jabber's claws revealing their true, enlarged form as he commits fully to the fight. Riyo faces Noerde Hew Amozo, whose comb, a vital instrument, transforms her hair into sharp, electrically-charged angles that shock Riyo and leave her prone. Enjin attempts conversation with his young opponent while leaning on his umbrella, and Bro Santa and Dear Santa assess their underground surroundings as their Raider opponent confirms their subterranean location. Separately, Guita Hebby Fantasia emerges into another chamber, bouncing energetically.

Observing through her portals, Cthoni records the conflict between the Raiders and Cleaners. Bro Santa and Dear Santa confront a man named Bundus, demanding information on their leader, Arkha Corvus. Simultaneously, Jabber and Zanka continue their duel. Nearby, Zodyl questions why Rudo, from the Sphere, shares the same determined look as those from the Ground. Jabber claims they even smell the same, explaining his fascination, though Rudo remains hostile. Zodyl elaborates on groundlings who worship falling trash as a divine blessing, arguing that such ingrained illusions sometimes require a violent shock to break, a point he illustrates by eating a cockroach. In the fight, Jabber attacks Zanka, who insists he has been fighting seriously all along and is no natural talent. Jabber then slices Zanka's leg with a poisoned claw. As Zanka writhes on the ground, Jabber reveals the claws carried three separate toxins before stabbing him again, extinguishing the light in Zanka's eyes.

Zodyl elaborates on groundlings who worship falling trash as a divine blessing, arguing that such ingrained illusions sometimes require a violent shock to break, a point he illustrates by eating a cockroach. In the fight, Jabber attacks Zanka, who insists he has been fighting seriously all along and is no natural talent. Jabber then slices Zanka's leg with a poisoned claw. As Zanka writhes on the ground, Jabber reveals the claws carried three separate toxins before stabbing him again, extinguishing the light in Zanka's eyes.

After being defeated by Jabber, Zanka experiences a hallucination of his past. He recalls his life within the virtuous Nijiku Clan on the Ground and his enrollment at the Central Hell Guard Academy, where he strives to earn the Golden Throne through diligent effort. His standing is challenged by the arrival of Hyo, a naturally gifted trainee from the slums who bests him in combat. Hyo questions his ambition, asking what value the throne holds if it is based only on others' perception. Later, during a weapon selection, Zanka chooses a plain staff in a misguided attempt to stand out, while Hyo selects a katana. Humiliated, he hides for three days, where Enjin and Riyo express their hope that the average will eclipse the gifted. In the present, Zanka hallucinates rising to his feet, though Jabber notes this is an effect of the paralytic poisons coursing through him. As Jabber prepares to offer him to a trash beast, Guita Hebby Fantasia in another chamber discovers a strange, giant red object studded with weapons held by dismembered, nailed hands.

During Jabber's celebration, a gunshot wounds the Raider. In a prior confrontation, Riyo and Noerde battle fiercely. Noerde's hair becomes electrified, and though the Raider intervenes, Riyo dodges and uses wind to disorient her, neutralizing the temporary effect. Riyo attempts to attack the hair with her scissors, but the Raider demonstrates control over it. Acknowledging Noerde's strength, Riyo endures her relentless assault and learns she is from the all-women village of Sileia. Riyo then engages the Raider in a destructive hand-to-hand exchange until, pausing for breath, she coughs blood. Riyo asks if anyone heard their calls for help; when Noerde confidently says no, Riyo ends the fight by drawing a handgun and firing twice, wounding the Raider. She reveals Enjin forbade killing, forcing her to use non-lethal means to protect her teammates. The gun is a parting gift, not her primary tool. Noerde suspects Riyo's past as a hitman and is asked for confidentiality. After gathering information, Riyo departs to assist others. In the present, Jabber scolds Riyo, prompting another warning shot. She then checks on a delirious Zanka. Meanwhile, Cthoni teleports to Zodyl, updating him on the other Cleaners before they arrive at a chamber. Rudo demands their intentions, but Zodyl encourages considering his offer, which Rudo disdainfully rejects. Zodyl approaches a luminous object, placing Amo's boots against it; tendrils secure them and they begin to glow. Zodyl identifies them as part of the Watchman series and states his intent to create more.

Zodyl, leader of the Raiders, reveals his failed attempt to create a new vital instrument for the Watchman series, identifying Amo's boots, Rudo's gloves, and his own coat as the three known pieces. His experiment instead yielded an artificial trash beast, using the activated object as its core. This triggers Rudo's memory of his adoptive father, Regto, who gave him the gloves and possessed a book with the Watchman symbol, raising the question of how Regto obtained such a unique artifact. Zodyl observes that Rudo has maintained his sanity unlike previous owners, theorizing a shared lack of humanity may be the cause. He has since enhanced the artificial beast by incorporating Amo's boots, and Rudo realizes they are inside it as it prepares to fly toward the Sphere. Concurrently, Bundus informs Dear and Bro of their situation. In response, Bro uses his vital instrument, Cloth, to launch Dear at the chamber wall. Dear's vital instrument, Centralian, activates, and his punches—which grow stronger with each impact—escalate from gentle pats to a devastating blow that shatters the rock.

As massive cyclone surges rage outside, the artificial trash beast prepares to ascend toward the Sphere. Inside, the amiable Raider Bundus confronts Bro and Dear when the shifting ground gives way, sending the trio plummeting into the beast's interior. They land inside a falling car and escape into a nearby pipe using Bro's Cloth, where they reunite with Enjin and Fu.

Meanwhile, Dear contacts Semiu at Cleaners HQ via his choker and resolves to act as a beacon to guide their rescue. In another section, the chamber containing Rudo and Zodyl has rotated, leaving Rudo dangling from a stalagmite. Zodyl attempts to recruit him, emphasizing revenge, but Rudo refuses. He states he does not wish to waste anything, including their meeting, which helped him realize he possesses a team that provides him with a home. While he retains his anger, he now has more to live for and releases his grip, falling into the darkness.

Upon exiting the vehicle, Bundus prepares his vital instrument and expresses doubt in Enjin. Enjin uses Umbreaker to create a passage to Rudo. Bundus correctly assumes Enjin knows their teammates' positions. Dear, Bro, and Riyo arrive, carrying the unconscious Zanka, while Guita is incapacitated. With Rudo frustrated with Zodyl, Enjin observes Riyo's gun and inquires about a prior incident, causing Riyo to drop Zanka. The trash beast takes flight, altering the chamber. Rudo transforms a nail gun into a vital instrument and fires, but Bundus intervenes with his mechanical arms. Enjin, Riyo, Dear, and Bro attempt to attack, but Bundus repels them, revealing his Hands have been augmented to six arms. Rudo recognizes the potential to channel his power through 3R, concentrating his energy to transform the nail gun. He fires a large nail at Bundus, which is intercepted by the mechanical hands. A second nail impacts the first, shattering Bundus' hands. The shot misses the beast's core, and the nail gun disintegrates as Zodyl prepares to depart. Noerde appears, growling Riyo's name.

In a class-divided world, the elite Sphereites dispose of their waste into the slums below, where the young scavenger Rudo struggles to survive. As a tribesfolk, descended from criminals, he endures mockery for his father's violent past, a serial killer executed in the Pit. Rudo conceals a painful affliction in his hands, alleviated only by gloves from his adoptive father, Regto. After gifting his crush Chiwa a stuffed toy, he returns home to find a masked intruder stabbing Regto and stealing a book. With his dying breath, Regto urges Rudo to change the unjust world. Falsely accused of the murder, Rudo is sentenced to the Pit while the tribesfolk taunt him as trash. Even Chiwa betrays him, coldly declaring him the son of a murderer before discarding his gift. Devastated, Rudo condemns both the tribesfolk and Sphereites as equally corrupt, swearing vengeance against the killer, the elite, and the slum-dwellers. Cast into the Pit, he awakens in a wasteland of garbage, only to face immediate attack by a monstrous Trash Beast.

Discovering a buried skull, he curses the Sphereites for exiling him, then sees a vision of Regto, hardening his resolve. A Mysterious Man watches as Rudo attacks but collapses from the toxic air. The stranger saves him, destroying the beasts with an umbrella. Awakening, Rudo is given a mask by the man, who reveals himself as Enjin, a Cleaner. After restraining Rudo, Enjin dismisses his pleas to return to the Sphere, instead taking him to a truck stop. Locals, recognizing Rudo as a Sphereite, feign friendliness before capturing him for trafficking. Forced to eat trash, Rudo bites off two of the captor's fingers and fights back until Enjin stops him. Enjin reveals the ordeal was a test for latent power, offering knowledge of the Ground in exchange for joining the Cleaners: Rudo refuses.

He scouts Rudo for the Cleaners, an organization that defeats creatures born from garbage. Rudo recalls his father Regto once said objects have souls and wonders if joining could help him return to the Sphere. Enjin admits he does not know the way back but suggests the Cleaners' boss might. When Enjin departs, a cat steals Rudo's money pouch. Chasing it, Rudo seizes a stick to pin it down, but the weapon belongs to fellow Cleaner and Giver Zanka Nijiku. Rudo apologizes, remembering his father's advice to respect others' feelings. Zanka surprisingly responds with an apology and a smile, until he realizes Rudo's "weapon" is a filthy toilet plunger. Horrified, Zanka tries to flee, but a confused Rudo unleashes a humiliating barrage. Enjin later collects the two battered boys. In his car, a lively girl named Riyo appears, teasing Rudo about his unusual hair and flustering him completely.

Enjin drives Rudo to the Cleaners' headquarters, a towering building marked by twisted street lamps. Inside, Rudo meets Semiu, the receptionist whose glasses reveal a person's true nature. Shocked by what she sees, she insists he still needs training. Since the boss is away, Riyo suggests Rudo observe her on a mission. Semiu briefs them: a nearby town near a polluted zone has requested aid against emerging trash beasts. She explains the Ground consists of safe zones and polluted zones, the latter crawling with trash beasts. Accompanied by Supporters Gris, Follo, and Tomme, Rudo and Riyo head to the site. A herd of trash beasts attacks, and Riyo calmly activates her scissors, the Ripper. When Follo is targeted, Rudo instinctively awakens a metal pipe as a vital instrument, saving him. A massive beast appears, strangely resilient until Riyo pierces its glowing weak point, revealing a vital instrument inside the creature. Elsewhere, Rudo's old kidnapper awakens, questioned coldly about the missing Sphereite.

A lively welcome party is held for Rudo at Cleaners headquarters. Still shaken from the previous day's raid, he sits apart until Gris thanks him for saving Follo, moving Rudo to tears with his gratitude and advice. Enjin, Riyo, and Zanka then invite him to join the celebration, and Rudo feels comforted by his growing circle of friends. Elsewhere, one of Rudo's kidnappers is slain by a cold, purple-eyed man. Back at HQ, Semiu answers a merchant's request for help recovering cargo stolen by a trash beast: a Sphereite. Zanka leads the team, with Rudo insisting on joining. The merchant offers to guide them, but Zanka remains suspicious. Inside the beast's lair, the floor collapses, separating the Cleaners. Two Raiders confront them, specifically targeting Rudo. Gris and Follo get him to safety while Zanka battles the ambushers, defeating them with his staff. However, the purple-eyed Raider closes in, intent on claiming Rudo.

Gris, Follo, Rudo, and the support staff reach the exit, but the deranged Raider pursuing them blocks their escape, demolishing the doorway. He casually states someone wants to meet Rudo and, when asked, assures them Zanka is alive, though just barely. Summoning his clawed vital instrument, he demands Rudo surrender. Gris shields the boy, but the Raider pierces his side, declaring him already dead as Gris's cherished talisman falls free. Shock grips Rudo, and the world turns monochrome. A memory surfaces of his adoptive father Regto encouraging him to find joy, which he discovered in salvaging discarded items and recognizing their hidden value. Returning to the present, Gris's talisman triggers Rudo's Anima. He manifests a massive floating totem embodying Gris's prayers, which grants him an impenetrable defense. The Raider introduces himself as Jabber and lunges, but his strikes fail against the barrier while Rudo counterattacks with relentless punches. Jabber collapses, yet using the neurotoxin in his claws, Mankira, he severs his own conscious thought. Though unconscious, his body rises again, moving on pure instinct.

Jabber's unconscious body moves autonomously. To protect the injured Gris and Follo, Rudo lures him away but is caught by his blades. A poisoned Zanka intervenes, feigning an attack on Rudo to use the talisman's repelling force against Jabber, jolting him awake. As Zanka collapses and Rudo's vital instrument shatters, Rudo also succumbs to poison. Jabber impales himself, hoists Rudo over his shoulder, and escapes through the ceiling. Riyo and other Cleaners arrive, and Enjin frees Rudo by slamming Jabber into a wall. Jabber refuses to retreat until fellow raider Cthoni informs him their boss was pleased. A poisoned Rudo vows to continue their fight, and Jabber reveals their leader possesses a symbol from the same "series" as Rudo's gloves before escaping through a portal. The Support staff stabilizes Gris, and Rudo apologizes for breaking the talisman, receiving Gris's assurance that he is glad it was of use.

Leader Arkha Corvus officially welcomes Rudo, then questions how he alone survived crossing the lethal border to the Sphere, mentioning rumors of other survivors. Rudo resolves to find them, but Enjin insists he first train for the dangers of No Man's Land. After a confrontation with the aggressive Cleaner Dear, Zanka helps Rudo discover his unique ability to activate multiple broken objects with his gloves without destroying them. Elsewhere, Raiders Jabber and Cthoni report to their leader, who identifies the symbol on Rudo's gloves as belonging to the "Watchman series", which also appears on his own armor.

The full team of Givers—Riyo, Zanka, Delmon, Tamsy, and Enjin—and Supporters—Follo, Gris, and Tomme—gather for the journey, and upon arriving in Canvas Town, a literal canvas for its residents' creativity, they learn from the mayor that the Giver Gob has died from body pollution but chose a successor, a young non-binary individual named Remlin Tysark; overcoming their grief, Remlin seizes Gob's pen, runs to the roof, and joyfully casts their first spell, transforming spray cans into endless fireworks that light up the city, prompting the mayor to apologize for the subsequent delay in obtaining the protective spell, which Enjin accepts without complaint.

Remlin, the new spellcaster of Canvas Town, finally has a moment to draw a spell on Rudo and the other Cleaners, after that, Back at headquarters, the overexcited artist August shouts with joy that Rudo's full-face mask is done. As the Cleaners team gets ready to head out on their mission, Enjin tells Rudo to hold out his new choker. Each Cleaner draws blood from their own thumb and places a drop on the choker, to Rudo's shock. It's what allows them to communicate through the device. Finally, the team is ready to venture into the No Man's Land (known as Penta) where the red dunes of the Penta desert are not made of sand, but of garbage that's worn down into dust, to find the woman who has witnessed travelers moving between the Ground and the Sphere, after fighting the scorpion-like trash beasts, a young girl wearing oversized boots—and no mask—approaches the Cleaners. Soft-spoken, she asks the group if they've come to visit Amo. Zanka thinks it's too easy if they found who they were looking for so quickly. Riyo asks her bluntly if she is the one who has seen travelers come and go, and the girl says she is. She invites them inside to talk away from the polluted air. Enjin says confidently that they'll all go, and he'll be the one to take her on if it turns into a fight, however, Enjin collapsing on the floor with drool pouring from his mouth. The girl watches with a sly smile with Rudo in shock.

Following Amo's directive, the Cleaners accompany her to her residence in No Man's Land, a remarkably preserved tower that pierces the sky. At the peak, Rudo asks about travel between the Ground and the Sphere, but Amo deflects with a question about his preferences in women. Enjin interrupts, accusing her of using flirtation as a bargaining tool, which agitates Amo. She activates her boots, and Enjin is ambushed from behind by Delmon. Amo taunts the group and, displeased by their silence, berates them. While Zanka tends to Enjin, Delmon threatens his teammates to protect Amo. Rudo then experiences a hallucination, seeing Amo as Chiwa, the girl who betrayed him. Amo explains she is using a scent that causes individuals to perceive her as someone they love. As Zanka and Tamsy don gas masks, a conflicted Rudo instinctively moves to protect the hallucinatory image of Chiwa-Amo. With other teammates joining the fight to defend her, Tamsy reluctantly prepares to use his vital instrument against his friends.

While Delmon is lost in a memory of his wife and a flower-covered home, Zanka and Tamsy face teammates who perceive Amo as a loved one. Tamsy summons his vital instrument, the Tokushin, a distaff, and as the Giver, uses it to bind everyone in tight coils. He then spins the mass, crashing it through the floors. The trapped Cleaners land violently below, with Rudo impaled and Delmon unconscious, but Remlin's protective spell heals their nearly fatal wounds. At headquarters, Semiu tells Corvus that Rudo has a Curse inside him. After recovering their masks, a enraged Rudo brutally beats Amo, forgetting their mission until Enjin intervenes. As Tomme treats Amo's injuries, Amo reveals she saw the angel that travels between the Sphere and the Ground.

In her recounting to the Cleaners, Amo becomes lost in memories of her past. She recalls her mother selling her to a paranoid trafficker known as Mister, who imprisons her in the Tower. There, he subjects her to extreme abuse while also providing books, food, and dresses. One day, after a "ritual", two masked figures emerge, strike Mister, and remove his boots. The taller figure offers them to Amo. The figures then approach a large hole in the wall, reveal glowing wings, and fly away. When a recovering Mister demands the boots back, Amo resists. The boots activate during their struggle, and she pushes him through the hole to his death. Months pass, and in the present, Amo draws the angel on the floor. Rudo recognizes the mask as belonging to Regto's killer. Amo interrupts his rage, asking if his gloves also filled a void, stating no apology is needed in a world where hands are used only for violence. A calm Rudo suggests they could instead use their hands for connection. After Amo returns to her tower, a shadow falls upon her; Jabber soon exits, his mission accomplished.

Returning to headquarters, the Cleaners visit Dr. Alice Stilza, a former body pollution researcher, where Rudo encounters her grandchildren, the mask maker August and healer Eishia. After August warns of an approaching Cloud, the team shelters from a trash storm. They are contacted by Semiu, who reports an infestation at HQ and advises a rear entrance. There, Semiu and an invincible shut-in repel Marauders demanding Rudo. The team later celebrates at the Dan Dulse bar, where they meet the Givers of Team Child: Dear Santa, Guita Hebby Fantasia, and Bro Santa. When Guita questions Rudo about the Sphere, he moves away and is confronted by a hooded man. The man reveals Amo's boots, grabs Rudo, and declares himself the Raiders' leader. As the Givers attack, Chtoni opens a portal, transporting the Cleaners and Raiders to a dark chamber where their adversaries emerge from the shadows.

In a dark chamber, the Cleaners confront the Raiders, with Rudo demanding to know Amo's location. Receiving no answer, a trashslide erupts from a tunnel, sweeping away all the Cleaners except Rudo. The other Raiders pursue the scattered Cleaners through portals, isolating Rudo with their leader, Zodyl Typhon. He approaches, stating he shares Rudo's rage and proposes they destroy the Sphere together; they experience a shared vision of its fiery descent to the Ground. When Rudo reiterates his question about Amo, Zodyl admonishes him for wasting time. Concurrently, the other Cleaners engage their Raider opponents: Jabber and Zanka resume their previous conflict, with Jabber's claws revealing their true, enlarged form as he commits fully to the fight. Riyo faces Noerde Hew Amozo, whose comb, a vital instrument, transforms her hair into sharp, electrically-charged angles that shock Riyo and leave her prone. Enjin attempts conversation with his young opponent while leaning on his umbrella, and Bro Santa and Dear Santa assess their underground surroundings as their Raider opponent confirms their subterranean location. Separately, Guita Hebby Fantasia emerges into another chamber, bouncing energetically.

Observing through her portals, Cthoni records the conflict between the Raiders and Cleaners. Bro Santa and Dear Santa confront a man named Bundus, demanding information on their leader, Arkha Corvus. Simultaneously, Jabber and Zanka continue their duel. Nearby, Zodyl questions why Rudo, from the Sphere, shares the same determined look as those from the Ground. Jabber claims they even smell the same, explaining his fascination, though Rudo remains hostile. Zodyl elaborates on groundlings who worship falling trash as a divine blessing, arguing that such ingrained illusions sometimes require a violent shock to break, a point he illustrates by eating a cockroach. In the fight, Jabber attacks Zanka, who insists he has been fighting seriously all along and is no natural talent. Jabber then slices Zanka's leg with a poisoned claw. As Zanka writhes on the ground, Jabber reveals the claws carried three separate toxins before stabbing him again, extinguishing the light in Zanka's eyes.

After being defeated by Jabber, Zanka experiences a hallucination of his past. He recalls his life within the virtuous Nijiku Clan on the Ground and his enrollment at the Central Hell Guard Academy, where he strives to earn the Golden Throne through diligent effort. His standing is challenged by the arrival of Hyo, a naturally gifted trainee from the slums who bests him in combat. Hyo questions his ambition, asking what value the throne holds if it is based only on others' perception. Later, during a weapon selection, Zanka chooses a plain staff in a misguided attempt to stand out, while Hyo selects a katana. Humiliated, he hides for three days, where Enjin and Riyo express their hope that the average will eclipse the gifted. In the present, Zanka hallucinates rising to his feet, though Jabber notes this is an effect of the paralytic poisons coursing through him. As Jabber prepares to offer him to a trash beast, Guita Hebby Fantasia in another chamber discovers a strange, giant red object studded with weapons held by dismembered, nailed hands.

During Jabber's celebration, a gunshot wounds the Raider. In a prior confrontation, Riyo and Noerde battle fiercely. Noerde's hair becomes electrified, and though the Raider intervenes, Riyo dodges and uses wind to disorient her, neutralizing the temporary effect. Riyo attempts to attack the hair with her scissors, but the Raider demonstrates control over it. Acknowledging Noerde's strength, Riyo endures her relentless assault and learns she is from the all-women village of Sileia. Riyo then engages the Raider in a destructive hand-to-hand exchange until, pausing for breath, she coughs blood. Riyo asks if anyone heard their calls for help; when Noerde confidently says no, Riyo ends the fight by drawing a handgun and firing twice, wounding the Raider. She reveals Enjin forbade killing, forcing her to use non-lethal means to protect her teammates. The gun is a parting gift, not her primary tool. Noerde suspects Riyo's past as a hitman and is asked for confidentiality. After gathering information, Riyo departs to assist others. In the present, Jabber scolds Riyo, prompting another warning shot. She then checks on a delirious Zanka. Meanwhile, Cthoni teleports to Zodyl, updating him on the other Cleaners before they arrive at a chamber. Rudo demands their intentions, but Zodyl encourages considering his offer, which Rudo disdainfully rejects. Zodyl approaches a luminous object, placing Amo's boots against it; tendrils secure them and they begin to glow. Zodyl identifies them as part of the Watchman series and states his intent to create more.

Zodyl, leader of the Raiders, reveals his failed attempt to create a new vital instrument for the Watchman series, identifying Amo's boots, Rudo's gloves, and his own coat as the three known pieces. His experiment instead yielded an artificial trash beast, using the activated object as its core. This triggers Rudo's memory of his adoptive father, Regto, who gave him the gloves and possessed a book with the Watchman symbol, raising the question of how Regto obtained such a unique artifact. Zodyl observes that Rudo has maintained his sanity unlike previous owners, theorizing a shared lack of humanity may be the cause. He has since enhanced the artificial beast by incorporating Amo's boots, and Rudo realizes they are inside it as it prepares to fly toward the Sphere. Concurrently, Bundus informs Dear and Bro of their situation. In response, Bro uses his vital instrument, Cloth, to launch Dear at the chamber wall. Dear's vital instrument, Centralian, activates, and his punches—which grow stronger with each impact—escalate from gentle pats to a devastating blow that shatters the rock.

As massive cyclone surges rage outside, the artificial trash beast prepares to ascend toward the Sphere. Inside, the amiable Raider Bundus confronts Bro and Dear when the shifting ground gives way, sending the trio plummeting into the beast's interior. They land inside a falling car and escape into a nearby pipe using Bro's Cloth, where they reunite with Enjin and Fu. Bro insists they must escape the construct before it crosses into the Sphere or they will perish. Meanwhile, Dear contacts Semiu at Cleaners HQ via his choker and resolves to act as a beacon to guide their rescue. In another section, the chamber containing Rudo and Zodyl has rotated, leaving Rudo dangling from a stalagmite. Zodyl attempts to recruit him, emphasizing revenge, but Rudo refuses. He states he does not wish to waste anything, including their meeting, which helped him realize he possesses a team that provides him with a home. While he retains his anger, he now has more to live for and releases his grip, falling into the darkness. An enraged Zodyl pursues him, demanding to know where his team is, just as Enjin bursts through the ground. Separately, Cthoni locates the grievously wounded and delirious Jabber.

Upon exiting the vehicle, Bundus prepares his vital instrument and expresses doubt in Enjin. Enjin uses Umbreaker to create a passage to Rudo. Bundus correctly assumes Enjin knows their teammates' positions. Dear, Bro, and Riyo arrive, carrying the unconscious Zanka, while Guita is incapacitated. With Rudo frustrated with Zodyl, Enjin observes Riyo's gun and inquires about a prior incident, causing Riyo to drop Zanka. The trash beast takes flight, altering the chamber. Rudo transforms a nail gun into a vital instrument and fires, but Bundus intervenes with his mechanical arms. Enjin, Riyo, Dear, and Bro attempt to attack, but Bundus repels them, revealing his Hands have been augmented to six arms. Rudo recognizes the potential to channel his power through 3R, concentrating his energy to transform the nail gun. He fires a large nail at Bundus, which is intercepted by the mechanical hands. A second nail impacts the first, shattering Bundus' hands. The shot misses the beast's core, and the nail gun disintegrates as Zodyl prepares to depart. Noerde appears, growling Riyo's name.
