Rudo Gloves Up for GEEKS RULE’s New 'Gachiakuta' Collaboration
Kei Urana’s bandaged hands and a new Rudo visual from Satoshi Ishino anchor the two designs
Summary
GEEKS RULE has created two 'Gachiakuta' T-shirts, a Manga Version and an Anime Version, each tied to a different side of the series
Both are made with the Japanese label’s signature silkscreen process for a worn-in, vintage-style finish
The tees debut at KODANSHA HOUSE 2026 in New York ahead of a lottery release in Japan
GEEKS RULE has teamed up with Gachiakuta on a pair of silkscreen-printed T-shirts celebrating the manga series and its TV anime adaptation. The collection splits into a Manga Version built around creator Kei Urana’s original artwork and an Anime Version featuring a fresh visual of protagonist Rudo, giving fans a choice between the page and the screen.
The Manga Version centers on a dense, high-impact illustration by Urana showing the series’ bandaged hands. Within the Gachiakuta world, the wrapped hands carry real weight, standing for the connections, powers and bonds that drive the story, which makes them an apt single image for the graphic. The design is printed on both White and Black bodies.
The Anime Version shifts focus to the adaptation. Its graphic is an official visual of Rudo, newly illustrated by the anime’s character designer Satoshi Ishino to mark the series’ jump to TV, showing the hero locked in mid-motion as he pulls his treasured gloves tight. Above him sits a street-art logo created by the manga’s own graffiti artist, a nod to the graffiti culture woven through the series. This version comes only in Black.
Both shirts run through GEEKS RULE’s silkscreen printing process, which the label uses to give its graphic tees the texture and character of a well-worn vintage shirt rather than a flat, fresh-off-the-press print.
The GEEKS RULE x Gachiakuta T-shirts pre-release worldwide on October 15 at KODANSHA HOUSE 2026 in New York, Kodansha’s brand-experience pop-up running October 9 through October 18 in Hudson Yards. Admission is free, though some areas require a reservation or lottery entry. A lottery release will follow in Japan via the GEEKS RULE online store at a later date.
