@@floatingpasta8099 I completely disagree. Prushka loves Riko. Riko loves Prushka. Their emotional connection-which correctly denotes emotions as intrinsically subjective-is the only merit that's required to produce a White Whistle.

Can we just address how hardcore Riko is? While she's bleeding out of every hole from the Abyss's curse, poisoned with a big hole in her hand, is she screaming like any of us would? Nope! Just calmly tells Reg to chop that arm off.

[@megugu2155]

Gotta go beyond Ozen, Lyza and Bondrewd if she wants to see the bottom. One lost arm is nothing. Riko is sigma.

[@idofx8722]

She was in a heightened survival state meaning her body was likely full of adrenaline. This along with the way the curse of the abyss interacts with the body would likely confound her since of pain. It should also be said that losing blood on it’s own isn’t particularly painful, it’s usually an injury that preceded it that causes pain. The cleaving of the arm was probably out of a sense of desperation, but she did in fact, feel that agonizing pain. It’s the impalement that would have gradually made her cry out, had her arm not been snapped once the adrenaline had worn off.

[@melodybaoin1425]

A correction on that red note (10:12). That red note was not from her Mom. That was written by her senior ( that white haired teen-ager a while back). He actually knows that Riku and Reg are going to the abyss alone, so he tucked that note in those letters. Since he can't convince them to stay put, he will just let them be. Then he will come after them. This puts Riku in a panic so she and Reg immediately ran off.

yes, exactly. Their senior was really close with her mother. That's why he helped them and gave them time, but he was ready to help if needed.

@@SMDubsmore Remember when Reg an Riko went to see Lyza’s belongings that were brought up with Habbo? The note was there along with the Lyza’s booklet of notes that they later stole before booking it. I think that same night, Leader “bumped” into Reg, and they found the note after they descended and Reg showed Riko. Leader probably gave it to them to further encourage them to delve, but he didn’t write it.

[@Ytremz]

I think I got it. The ancient peoples probably figured out how to transplant their souls into automatons like how we see with Reg. By being a machine with a soul, you can absolutely traverse the Abyss. Reg is a member of this ancient tribe. Also, I think Riko's mom's physical body is gone, but her soul travelled to the bottom of the abyss, where she has inherited a new, Reg-esque body.

[@pralayaryan]

then why no one from the ancient tribe had ever ascended from the abyss, if ur theory is true then there should be a lot of ancient tribe members traveling to the outer layers .

[@Ytremz]

@@pralayaryan Two answers. Firstly, time dilation is massive down there, it is very possible that Reg is the first automaton to rise up from the 8th abyssal layer. But I think, more aptly, is the question of 'why'. Why would they want to leave their homes, especially if they consider it a kind of promised land? Most tribal communities are very insular and uninterested in the outside world. They would need a very good reason to leave. Perhaps Reg is connected to that reason.

[@emirikyuu7308]

1. the red note was written by the white haired guy at the start and not the mom, and they thought he was saying he wouldn't try to convince them to stop but would come after them as a kind of test to see if they were good enough to survive which is why they panicked and tried to descend quicker. 2. Finding her mom is ultimately an excuse that Riko uses to explore and see what's in the abyss, as she was born there and is therefore very drawn to it. This is also why she feels the need to continue descending even when Reg is passed out and told her to stay put. What's intresting is that's why the show is called what it is cus Riko is literally "Made in Abyss" lol 3. The orb piercer can practically read their thoughts and predict the future so trying to trick it by sacrificing riko wouldn't work 4. Going all the way down to the 5th layer (while Bondrewd is there aswell) just to find the artifact thingys and then descending all the way back up just to fight Ozen (and most definitely die because of the curse) isn't a very good idea.. sry i just love this show a lot and its cool seeing my favorite anime talked about :)

[@paulvonhooveriii9943]

1 yep 2 yep 3 mostly true but it can’t fully read or know what someone does, orby uses is the abyss itself (I forget what it was called the stuff if the air) which is why nanachi could tell reg what to do and how he was able to reach the nose of the orb peircer 4 yep (Edit) you are somewhat right tho aswell dangling riko off the goblet and hoping for orby to charge dodging and punishing would not work due to it being able to predict the movements of its opponents and yeah using riko as bait would not work 5 (my own) reg disobeyed nanachi and she decided to assist him in saving the black whistle

[@paulvonhooveriii9943]

@truthseeker Your partially right but not fully if it could perfectly see the future reg would not have been able to grab his nose because he would have seen his jump right in advance.

As cebola pointed out and Bondrewd at least in the manga clearly states, the time of a mass-death-event was creeping ever closer. Bondrewd was trying to find a solution, but continued to fail. He was debating going deeper to find a solution, however the layers beyond the 6th are quite mysterious as there are no records describing what lies within them, or how many more layers there even are. Returning is not a guarantee as presumably instant death awaits those who try to ascend. He is capable of observing the world through Nanachi’s eyes, so using the children as a scouting party is a vile yet efficient way to scout out the lower depths of the abyss.

Ozen: Ozen is not the top white whistle, she's the physically strongest. There is no top white whistle, rikos mother is regarded as the greatest because of her charisma and personality, that's why even kids know about her and regard her as the greatest. Layers: fifth layer in particular is home to idofront. Bondrweds praying hands were black whistles. We see this is nanachi's flashback in s1 and later on. (Might be a typo in script but) The fifth layer is the deepest you can return from not go.Curse repelling vessel: despite the name it does not prevent the curse, it only reanimates dead things. Blue hair girl: guy lol. Splitjaw: it wasn't following them, the splitjaw is native to the third layer. Just a plot driven coincidence they met again. The Orb first piercer fight: no matter what you do, you will not beat it 1v1. Unless you're a whitewistle. If reads the movement of the curse it knows you will just wait for it to charge and then blaze reap it. It wont charge. Your only hope is being faster than it can perceive the curse or listening to the commands of a third party like a robot. Nanachi explains how this works decently. Riko passing out: literally a coma lol. Bondrewds experiments: He was researching the "blessing" this ones not too clear tho. That's the non nitpicky version, still like the vid tho.

Best dad sacrificed Prushka for 2 obvious and major reasons: 1. The trio needed passage to the 6th layer, but this can only be done with a user’s own white whistle. 2. The eve of catastrophe is nearing and Bondrewd is running out of options. If a cure isn’t found soon all of the children of the current generation and potentially more will die on the surface which will have massive consequences both for society and of course the future of the Abyss exploration. Bondrewd is has no choice, save to observe the party through Nanachi’s eyes and hope they might unravel the secrets of the abyss that will allow him to save the people on the surface. It doesn’t make it right, but this was the only way things were going to play out.

[@ToozdaysChild]

"If I was Riko, I'd focus less of my time on climbing and more time on studying the myths and legends and history associated with the Curse of the Abyss." Bruh, Riko eats, sleeps and BREATHES Abyss lore. She knows the list of major artifacts by heart, she knows all the ways the Curse can affect you on every layer up the 6th (and nobody can return from any lower than the 5th), and she knows most of the currently discovered fauna and how to exploit/counter/avoid them. The only reason she doesn't know more is because there literally isn't any more she can learn; any further information is either restricted from Red Whistles, or outright hasn't been discovered yet. Literally the only way she can progress now is through training and practical application: ie, going into the Abyss. As for knowledge of the Curse, nobody has ANY clue why it exists or how any of it works, except perhaps the White Whistles. The viewer only recieves an explaination on how it functions after they meet a character who can literally SEE the Curse.

There's a saying in the surface that "Everything that comes from the Abyss, returns to it" that hints us on one thing: These three kids were from the Abyss, they will return to the Abyss.

Hello. I just want to bring up that Riko technically did a "thorough" inspection of Reg on her own back when he was still unconscious. If I can remember it correctly, Riko tested multiple things on him, including attempting to drill through his hands and skin, checking his genitals, and even sticking a measuring stick up his rectum, which promptly broke while inside him. She did manage to get the snapped portion back out of him though. So while it wasn't any tests of his abilities or his incinerator, she still did an inspection and reported back her findings to the other children in the orphanage. EDIT: Went back and rewatched the scene and here's Riko's report on Reg (before she got cut off by another child at the orphanage who got uncomfortable with how thorough her inspection was). "Besides that, his arm can extend about 40 meters. His metal parts are made of some mysterious flexible material, which I couldn't pierce even with a drill. He also has a belly button, but I couldn't really see inside his butthole. I tried to probe him with a measuring stick, but it broke while inside him... Also, his penis doesn't appear to be mechanical but more like a real one..."

[@BloodrealmX]

It's amazing how professional and analytical Riko is. So much so that the nigh-indestructible amnesiac living robot is actually the audience voice of normalcy. I feel like Bondrewd probably used to be a lot like her before Zoaholic fried his mind down to its most core aspects.

10:10 no that's not the mother hand writing, that's their leader who stole and made a copy of her mother's documents and found out that the leader is coming after them to bring them back, since red whistles are not allowed to venture this deep down into the abyss

This man said let me go down to the 5th layer, find some artifacts, and come back to fight ozen. It don't work like that bro...

Loved this video and the amazing world building of the story, never seen a place so magnificent in beauty but terrifying in nature.

[@Nerium_Oleander13]

[@bunny4g3nt]

this is one of the best if not the best anime how to beat ive ever watched i would love to see part 2

[@narommalagonmorales2663]

The red note wasn't from Riko's mother, it was from the leader, saying to them that he and a team was going to capture them.

[@Exiledium]

So basically this anime is based of Dante’s inferno of all layer of abyss (9 circle of hell)

[@megugu2155]

Yep and is a metaphor about human curiosity leading us all down to a path of hell. And its also about science needing sacrifice for the sake of progress. When Magellan's expedition around the world led to countries enslaved and tortured for centuries, when the study on nuclear energy paved the way to the creation of the atomic bomb, and etc. All these started from simple curiosity. A character from the show, Bondrewd, is literally the embodiment of this message. And hes a badass.

[@VesaKo]

I love how every "How to Beat" is savage even when it doesn't need to. Sure, sacrificing your pals in a death royal is logical, but doing so when its positively not necessary is just funny.

[@ashy1272]

Anime character: *having fun in dangerous place* HTBA: *and this will cost them* Anime character: *oh fu-*

[@hulahulahup]

One thing I learned about all these how to beat videos.... sacrificing something or someone is necessary for survival.

[@conrradotorres4653]

A say send an army to kill off layer by layer. Each layer conquered, a base can be built. It would take some time, but results would have been far better than sending out small teams to explore

[@guy_who_animates]

*smort*

[@shizik3909]

If you remember it right, a very large squad of whistles with white whistles were sent down there. Everyone without those 2 whistles were massacred down. Some of animals in there possess mind reading ability and will perfectly dodge everything. It won't be that easy as you think.

Not gonna lie i cried a few times watching this to be honest the deeper i thought of the world they live in as well as the implications of monsters and other terrifying things that are down there the scarier it got

[@oceanicGrimalkin]

15:37 It's interesting that you used an Annihilation clip because both the Shimmer and the Abyss are Eldritch Locations inhabited by deadly creatures and potentially severe physical conditions just by being within them.

I feel like he forgot the point was to defeat it as Riko, because sacrificing Riko became part of his strat.

[@jilliancrawford7577]

I hope you revisit this if/when the series concludes and Riko and Co. make it to the bottom of the Abyss! It feels like there's some information and details we haven't been told yet that can only exist at the bottom. I do love this breakdown though, I've tried showing this series to friends but their confusion with the curses and whatnot make it harder for them to get immersed or follow along, so I'm glad this can help break it down if I try showing them the series again! I can confidently say though that as someone with chronic health issues that I would probably become a less of organs like Mitty from just looking at the Abyss lol! Kudos to these small children for being healthy enough to have these aspirations!

[@Tammythemouse]

“Blue haired girl” haha… yeah “girl” he’s not exactly all he seems There were a few misunderstandings about some subjects but a lot of your advice still does sorta work, tho if reg and riko did get away without fighting ozen, there wouldn’t be much point in coming back to fight her, finding more of those pins would be good but no point in poking a hornets nest, and if you’re suggesting reg leave riko, I think you’re missing the point of the adventure, sure reg is important but riko is the person that has to make it down, if she dies or gets fatally hurt the adventure was pointless! So abandoning her or leaving her to die Isn’t an option especially since reg is so durable and has almost no fear of getting damages… most of the time

This is such a underrated anime. If this video included the manga story untill now as well, then it would be much more dark and I doubt if anybody could beat it or not.

[@Multiple_bread]

When you realize they are kids and don’t know anything that ur talking about like «ink printing »

[@raw6668]

Would the town/time period be advanced enough to perform the tests you want to determine the age of the ink? And I love you assume she is using ink she brought with her. Considering how long she has been down there. I would assume she be making her own ink since it will be over a decade of no supplies from the outside world and she would be taking notes since she has been down there. And that is also not considering if she is even using ink (lead comes to mind or some type of material used to write) or how warped the environment is in the abyss is. As degradation can change based on explosure and environment type. I am just saying, results will be skewed.
