August is mesmerised with Hyo’s beauty and wants her to become his model.
In the previous chapter of the Gachiakuta manga, we saw how Hyo was the one who knocked down the puppeted staff and foiled Gil and Felix’s plan. In the new chapter, she explains to Wing how she did it. However, August is distracted by how beautiful she is and asks her to become his model. Elsewhere, Mymo starts thinking about how he can stop Rudo, who is absolutely demolishing him. In the end, he asks the protagonist a question that will make him stop in his tracks.
Warning: Spoilers ahead!
Gachiakuta Chapter 160 recap

The issue opens with Wing thanking Hyo for taking care of the puppeted staff members. Hyo reveals that the staff attacked her when she came here so she knocked them out and took off their Chokers. Later, when she was sitting down to rest, she heard Gil and Felix talking about how there are bombs all across the venue and how they’re going to detonate them. Wing freaks out and says they need to find the bombs right away. However, Hyo is always one step ahead as she says that she has already taken care of them.

When the Doll Fest began, she just happened to find one, and later combed the entire town to find the rest and disarm them. But she suggests it might be a good idea to call in an expert anyway. Wing is proud of her and thanks her again. Suddenly, August appears in front of Hyo and says that she’s the hottest woman he has ever seen. He then asks if she wants to be his live-in model. Wing is shocked to see that Hyo seems to be interested despite the weird offer. He welcomes her to The Cleaners headquarters where he lives, which shocks Hyo. The trio then decides to go help his sister Eishia as she will need more power to heal people.
In the next panel, we see Goka standing with an unconscious Zanka over his shoulder. In front of him is Eishia, who looks scared. The story then moves to the main fight between Rudo and Mymo, and it seems that Rudo is wiping the floor with Mymo’s monstrous form. In Mymo’s mind, his self takes on two appearances. One is the human Mymo and the other is the monster Mymo. The two of them start talking about if Rudo’s latest transformation is similar to Zodyl or Guita, but discard the idea as both of them only wear their Vital Instruments while Rudo has changed the very structure of his body.

But unlike Mymo, who used his power to change his whole body, Rudo only seems to have transformed the hood of his outfit. Since Rudo has more experience in battle than Mymo, he could easily destroy him now that he has also transformed. The monster form of Mymo cries out, saying he wants to be on top of the world and reach higher heights than anyone before. The human Mymo tells him to calm down and suggests they come up with a way to scale the wall Rudo has placed in front of them.
Human Mymo reminds monster Mymo that they know the location of all the Watchman Series Vital Instruments. If they can kill Rudo now and find all of them, there’s a chance for Mymo to become a real god, something unfathomable by human standards. To kill Rudo, they must find an opening, and to find that opening, they need to use Mymo’s speciality : words. In the final panel, we see Mymo’s monster form being pinned down by Rudo. He asks Rudo if he should tell him who killed Regto.
Gachiakuta Chapter 160 review

Although I hate Mymo with all my heart, I can’t help but give him props for hitting Rudo where it will hurt the most even on his last breath. Rudo was thrown into the pit after being accused of his adoptive father Regto’s murder. He And his main aim now is to find out who killed Regto and exact his revenge. Although the readers know who killed Regto, Rudo is still in the dark about it. If there is one thing that can stop Ruo mid-beatdown spree, it’s the mention of his father. But I am eager to see if Rudo actually falls for Mymo’s bet as I’m not sure if he knows Regto’s actual killer or if he’s just bluffing.
