Sakugan’s eighth episode switches from a happy plot to a sombre one, reversing the mood of the previous episode. Gagumber’s past is ultimately revealed, as is the true identity of Zackletu.
Recap of Sakugan Episode 8
To treat Yuri, Gagumber, Memenpu, and Zackletu arrive at the Karakara Colony. Following their quarrel in the last episode, the father and daughter are still unable to communicate. Gagumber tells Yuri about his relationship with Rufus, his former partner. Gagumber also runs across an old coworker he used to work with, and the two reconnect. Gagumber, it turns out, used to live in the Karakara Colony as a Marker when he was younger. However, Gagumber was deeply upset when his mate, Rufus, died. Rufus left behind a younger sibling called Zack when he died. Gagumber chose to stop becoming a Marker after Rufus’ death and live a completely different life.
Meanwhile, Zackletu and Memenpu are discussing the latter’s dream, including how Gagumber died in it and how it felt all too real. Despite this, Memenpu can’t stand to dislike him totally because he’s kin. Zackletu kidnaps Memenpu and threatens Gagumber after she falls asleep. Gagumber arrives on the scene and discovers that Zackletu is Rufus’ younger brother. She begins shooting and detonating bombs at him while demanding an apology and explanation for Rufus’ death and why Gagumber simply fled the scene.
Memenpu is chained to the ceiling, shouting at them and telling them to stop while all of this is going on. Memenpu is held by a rope that eventually snaps, causing her to tumble off. Gagumber’s speed has unexpectedly increased as a result of an illegal chip modification he calls Gale, which he hasn’t triggered since Rufus’ death. He captures Memenpu, but it has a negative impact on his health. Memenpu informs Zackletu that she still wants her to join them on their journey, but there would be consequences if she does it again. Zackletu was reminded of Rufus, who had previously told her the same thing.
