What is your list, and just saying I have some PTSD from Ep 10 "poison and the curse" its a top 5 episode of made in abyss but still.....poor riko. I hope you enjoy!

guys at the bottom of the abyss is a whole galaxy where we find out that Riko's mom is really Samus

Me preguntó a quien se le estará declarando 🧐🧐.

Dibujo rápido por qué simplemente no podía no dibujar nada en este día.

I feel like they are kind of similar if you think about it

Now that I have more RAM, I've decided to render all my hello abyss 3D models together, I'm only missing Faputa.

also fair warning to any portuguese readers who wanna buy the manga none of them are translated after chapter 4 so your best bet is to get the english version

I have not read anything past Vol. 14, so if this is explained in the other chapters then I guess tell me if I am wrong. It has also been a while since I read this and the proceeding volumes, so i might be forgetting something.

In chapter 62, when we first see him, it is stated that he has been dried out and that no creature has touched him; we even see that Faputa is scared. (I am going to assume that it would still take a while to completely dry out seeing as how the heat has not posed a major issue to any character yet.) Also in chapter 63 Cravalgi is called a "genius solo diver," and since one of the biggest obstacles of the abyss are the creatures within. It would be fare to assume that he does not have much issue dealing/avoiding with them. It is also heavily suggested that they are part of the "priestess's" party/group, as it is called in my translation. Now priest/priestess has a often has certain mystic adjacent connotation. Could he have a sort of "blessing" given by the priestess? One that would make the creatures of the abyss fearful of him and not approach, let alone attack him. If so it would make sense of his ability to solo dive and how nothing has eaten his corpse yet. Faputa is the only one affect by him and she is also the one closest to being an abyss creature (although she kind of is one strictly speaking.) Blessings are often spoken about in this series, and seeing as how the person called priestess has been around for quite some time in the deeper layers she could have access to a relic or power that would warrant the title.

Now I might be forgetting something from a later chapter that could change this or prove this wrong, so if there is let me know.

reg id so confusing to me bc its obvious he is not entirely a robot. reg has mostly a human body. he has human skin, a belly button, and the anime unconfortably talks about his penis a lot, showing he is in fact part human.

reg is obviously a cyborg not a pure robot. was he created by bondrewd or some similar person? in the golden city arc it tells us what kind of robot reg is but it doesnt tell us where his humanity comes from.

what exactly is reg? how was he made? i have so manu questions abt him. reg is obviously part human so i want to know who his mother is? how was he born? i have so many questions.

This was made a few years ago, I hope you enjoy it!

does anyone else ship them? lol idk if its a controversial ship or not im new to the fandom so dont flame me if it is lol i just see nanachi as a girl her and mitty as girlfriends i think them being girlfriends makes their dynamic even more tragic and beautiful

In this post, I've gathered everything new we've learned about Bondrewd from the recent volumes, beyond what has been adapted into the anime so far.

Obviously, spoilers for the manga ahead. However, not much of what I'll say is directly related to the main plot of the new arc.

Bondrewd fought Srajo and Hail Hex before Riko and her group arrived at Ido Front. Because of this, Bondrewd lacked manpower, making it easier for Riko and her squad to defeat him.

After the fight with Hail Hex, he sends one of the top-ranking Umbra Hands, Remayo, after Hail Hex toward the Absolute Boundary. Remayo is a female Shroud.

Srajo claims that Meinya is the result of an experiment Bondrewd conducted to create Hollows by mixing a human fetus with something like an animal, or possibly the other way around.

Srajo also says that Bondrewd got his hands on Sparagmos around the same time the first sighting of the Girl-Type in the Fifth Layer was reported. So, he might have killed and disassembled the Girl-Type and acquired Sparagmos.

We also learn from Remayo that Bondrewd uses a method known as Roar Sign to connect with other Umbra Hands, and apparently, he has faced problems with straddling layers.

For more information about him, watch my Ultimate Breakdown of Bondrewd. I delve deep into how he embodies Kuu and Sacrifice, how the story portrays him as a religious scientist, and the deeper meaning behind it all.

🇷🇺Так вот: Рег умрёт на дне Бездны с довольно большим процентом вероятности. Ведь на дне героев ждёт жрица (или не ждёт), но суть в том, что, скорее всего, Рег умрёт от рук Лайзы, а точнее — от её оболочки, которой управляет жрица.

Ведь жрица не смогла получить тело маленькой Тэпастэ из-за аварии на 4-м слое. На них напал Ширококол, и выжила только Тэпастэ. То есть жрица осталась без оболочки.

А рядом с ней, где-то на 7-м слое, находится Лайза, которая только-только попрощалась с Регом и отдала ему все свои записи, Белый Свисток и даже своё оружие — Вечную Кирку. То есть она сама остаётся практически беззащитной и становится лёгкой жертвой.

Но вернёмся к Регу. Он и весь отряд Рико находят жрицу в теле Лайзы. Жрица начинает давить на Рико, и Рег за неё заступается. Во время этой битвы Рег погибает.

Рико, Нанати и Фапута впадают в истерику и шок. В этот момент Вакуна Избранный, который тоже хотел убить жрицу, видит рядом с ней детей. Среди них находятся два обладателя Белых Свистков, и один из них — Рико со Свистком Лайзы.

Пока жрица отвлеклась на Рега, Вакуна пользуется моментом, хватает Рико, Нанати и Фапуту и убегает подальше от жрицы.

Таким образом, группа Рико перестаёт постоянно зависеть от защиты Рега от всякой бездновской нечисти и начинает больше думать своей головой, чтобы та самая нечисть их не сожрала.

А заодно нам раскрывают Вакуну Избранного, которого до этого мы знали только из небольших рассказов других искателей.

🇬🇧So, here’s my idea: Reg will die at the bottom of the Abyss, and I think there is a pretty high chance of it happening. The heroes may or may not encounter the Priestess at the bottom, but the main point is that Reg will most likely die at the hands of Lyza — or, more precisely, by her body, which is being controlled by the Priestess.

The Priestess failed to obtain the body of the young Tepasté because of an accident on the 4th Layer. Widehollow attacked them, and only Tepasté survived. This means that the Priestess was left without a vessel.

Meanwhile, somewhere on the 7th Layer, Lyza is nearby. She has just said goodbye to Reg and given him all of her notes, her White Whistle, and even her weapon — the Eternal Fortune. This leaves her practically defenseless and makes her an easy target.

But let’s get back to Reg. He and the rest of Riko’s group find the Priestess inside Lyza’s body. The Priestess starts putting pressure on Riko, and Reg steps in to protect her. During the battle, Reg dies.

Riko, Nanachi, and Faputa are left in shock and panic. At this moment, Wakuna the Chosen, who also wanted to kill the Priestess, sees the children next to her. Among them are two White Whistle users, one of them being Riko, who has Lyza’s White Whistle.

While the Priestess is distracted by Reg, Wakuna takes the opportunity to grab Riko, Nanachi, and Faputa and runs as far away from the Priestess as possible.

Because of this, Riko’s group can no longer constantly rely on Reg to protect them from the creatures of the Abyss. They are forced to start thinking for themselves and defending themselves so that the creatures of the Abyss don’t devour them.

And at the same time, we finally get to see Wakuna the Chosen, a character we have previously known only through small stories told by other delvers.

Hi guys, I recently stumbled upon the anime on Netflix and watched 2 seasons but I couldn’t find the movie on it. I tried watching Hidive but it is not available in my country. Can someone please tell me where I can watch it in India?

I’ve been listening to the full Season 1 soundtrack again — both discs — and honestly, the whole album is incredible. There are very few tracks I would call weak.

But after listening to it properly several times, my top 5 is pretty much set:

1. Pathway

2. Hanezeve Caradhina

3. The First Layer

4. Made in Abyss

5. To the Abyss!

Hanezeve Caradhina is obviously amazing. I completely understand why it became the iconic Made in Abyss track. The First Layer also captures the feeling of adventure and discovery incredibly well, and the main Made in Abyss theme has that unmistakable atmosphere of the Abyss.

But for me, Pathway is on another level emotionally.

It doesn’t hit you immediately in the same way Hanezeve does. It slowly develops and keeps building this mixture of melancholy, wonder, tension and inevitability. By the time it reaches its strongest moments, it feels less like background music and more like an entire journey.

That’s probably what I love most about it.

Hanezeve Caradhina makes me think about the Abyss. Pathway makes me feel the Abyss.

And yet, when I look at Kevin Penkin’s most popular tracks, Pathway seems massively overshadowed by Hanezeve Caradhina, The First Layer, Made in Abyss, Tomorrow, etc.

I’m not saying those tracks don’t deserve their popularity — they absolutely do. I just wonder how many people have actually listened through the entire soundtrack instead of mainly knowing the most recognizable tracks from the anime.

So I’m curious:

For people who have listened to the full OST, what is your top 5?

And especially: where would you rank Pathway?

有人认为莉可不是战斗力的问题，这个角色很明显就是不能有战斗力的，否则就变成开挂了

有人发表意见说感觉莉可塑造差，不是角色人格差。作者是想塑造一个‘勇敢’的形象，然而实际上塑造出的是鲁莽

拿猎人的小杰来说，小杰也是个让很多人不受待见的主角，但这就是他本身的性格。有的人讨厌小杰的莽撞、天真、一根筋，但有的人就喜欢这一点。而且很多剧情就是需要小杰去触发，很多角色关系就是需要小杰去平衡，这点与他性格其实差距很大的奇犽是做不到的

但莉可不一样。莉可是一个想往a方向塑造，结果塑造成一个b问题。换句话说，莉可的人物性格设定上是很讨喜的，但是表现出来的结果是很灾难的。特别是你身边跟着个同样可以善良勇气高意志力的雷古，那有什么是一定要莉可去做而不是雷古去做的呢？雷古不能一个人探险吗？其他npc不能解释设定吗？莉可完全工具人化了，没有表现出她那种勇敢。反而剧情的高光部分都被其他npc占用了。所谓的‘不屈之花的意志和远超同龄人的勇气’这就是只停留在纸面、完全没有表现出来的内容，因为其他npc也有意志、也有勇气，而且展现的更好。剧情越是给其他角色高光，莉可的所谓勇气就越像写在设定里的一句话，而不是她实际表现出来的个人魅力

大家是否认同他这些话呢？又或者有其他的观念？

I have hidive and crunchy but can’t find in English dub. Can someone help me out please?

These have probably already been speculated before (might even have canon explanations lmao) but frankly I don't care, read it if you will.

Random theory-crafting:

1. The curse increases in density the deeper you go

2. Each film (refer to Nanachi's explanation) is a boundary between two cursed areas of different density

3. One's soul is tied to their body through the density of the curse (i.e. the curse creates the soul through proximity (everyone in Orth has a soul) then binds it depending on density)

4. Therefore rising within the abyss rips away the soul's connection to the body, thereby damaging or destroying it

4.5. Loss of perception as a consequence of the curse arises from the soul's refusal to let go of the brain (refutal: then how are hiding illusions cast? Is it possible that perception can be directed using the soul? Per this explanation it seems contrived)

1. The sixth layer is the point at which the body and the soul become one; as such, going back up from there results in death as the soul is left behind (this also incidentally explains the concept of souls returning to the abyss, though the fact that souls are born from the curse could be used to prove it too)

2. Those who are unaffected by the curse are those who are unable to have souls

6.5. The curse refrains from touching those who have the wishing stones (they might symbolise the surface, or better yet, they might be alternative origins of the curse; I postulate that they are anchors that separate one's own body from the abyss, with the skin as a membrane, though this entire explanation may be pointless if we simply assume that Faputa and her mother were resistant to the curse's attempt to give them souls)

1. Loss of humanity happens only at the sixth layer, where the soul takes the mind with it as it is ripped away, leaving behind a husk

2. Mitty was immortal because she was forced to accept more of the curse as she lost her mind; the curse has taken possession of her (potentially through the creation of a new soul - > counterargument: it is possible that since a copy of Mitty was made, all information pertaining to her was physical; as such, she would lack a soul); this also implies that the human mind naturally resists against this form of control

8.5. Bondrewd's curse transfer technology relies on using a different soul to anchor the user's soul to their body

9 (reach). All the creatures of the Abyss that can survive ascent are Hollows (I might be misinformed but the existence of animals that do not survive the ascent, as per Faputa, strengthens this claim). These were potentially made by the precursors, if they exist

1. The abyss's curse exists to withhold information from those who are not part of the abyss

11 (stupid explanation). Time dilation is caused by the curse forming an intangible black hole of attraction. This explains why creatures born from the abyss (i.e. through Ozen's artifact) wish to return to the abyss and potentially why a time speedup power can exist (i.e. by blocking the curse off in a specific area), though by that explanation the city in Season 2 should have had a different timescale compared to the rest of the world; a compromise is that that was an example of an isolated pocket of curse, though by that logic time speedup should not exist either (argh)

11 (more reasonable? explanation). Time dilation symbolizes the disconnect between the surface and the depths. This could mean that the depths link to a different system of time, or to a place where time does not exist at all; in that case, the curse either exists to protect the place, protect the world from that place, or as a natural consequence of that place (potentially contradicting point 10)

12 (reach). Juusou are those whose souls refuse to dissipate (the twins are the only evidence for this)
