Akudama Drive Spoilers

The first season of ‘Akudama Drive’ is set in a world where an intense war broke out between Kanto and Kansai. As a result of the war, the population of the world found itself being divided into two halves—while one half supported the Kanto region, others rooted for Kansai’s victory. It did eventually end—like every war—but with a very terrible price. After losing against Kanto, Kansai gave up all of its freedom and authority to Kanto. And because of a lack of rules and regulations in the nation, crime surged. With this, a new era of crime began and criminals known as the “Akudama” flooded the streets.

Courier, Brawler, Cutthroat, Hacker, Hoodlum, Ordinary Person, and Doctor are all the major characters of the series. Yuuichirou Umehara, Shunsuke Takeuchi, Takahiro Sakurai, Shun Horie, Subaru Kimura, Tomoyo Kurosawa, and Megumi Ogata are the voice actors who play them.

In the upcoming episode of ‘Akudama Drive,’ Ordinary Person will risk it all to prove her worth to the Akudama community. She’ll put her life on the line, but will it actually be worth it? Well, to know the answer to that, make sure you check out the next episode.
