(Hitoku)Concealment
Princess Usagi
I always found it ironic that the rock a bye baby is supposed to be a soothing lullaby when a broken cradle and a baby are nothing but broken. As for the cradle for the Golden City, the cradle is all safe (and I definitely don’t want to sleep there).
As we first hear hearing this word, the village is closed. We hear that from this moment in Rikos’s lesson with the bartender. We learn that IRUburu means mostly village, but contains the connotations of cradle and mother.
Vueko later referred to the villagers as children. As far as the flashback looks, the majority of the suicide squad was really children. The inhabitants are treated like children, sneaking in a security net from the outside world, stealing whatever they want – if they pay up. Yet when the villages act like impulsive children, they are punished as cruel acts, not as a child who is truly ignorant of how they are doing. But, in summary, MIA is a reflection of the wider series view that childhood innocence is equally treasured for cuteness and so far as its defiled extent.
If this city is the cradle, then the mother is Vueko. It’s sluggish. Vueko uses the Signals of the Soul to watch everything. Although Vueko says she did something bad and is locked up like a criminal, I doubt that thats the whole story. Those villagers decided on their inhuman bodies according to their individual desires. If Vueko didn’t make a creature, does that mean she didn’t have any desire? Since she wanted to travel to the Ayss, I doubt. Or is her desire more sinister and lurking under the surface? Vueko seemed to be the opposite of danger. I cant trust that, with this series’ tendency to enjoy false securities.
Since Vueko was the only dissenter to the city’s start, would it make sense for the other Sages to silence her with caution and abuse her of being a bad man. Doing the right thing to do is to build a sickness barrier, so that she can’t see her naked. Since she’s a kid who wasn’t worried, Riko is surprisingly uneasy, because she doesn’t think she’ll be freed as long as she finds her friends.
The city’s marketplace definitely takes it to pay a leg and be a part of the whole whole store. Riko can’t eat Nanachi, a meal that is eaten by Belaf in exchange for Mitty, with a hard choice-not only hair, nails and gear, but she also need to choose between her legs, half her guts or her eyes. It is hard to guess which shell should choose-one only option will still allow him to continue his journey.
Belaf is driving a tough bargain because he was required to pay a hard deal. That Mitty was there immediately tipped me off that Bondrewd visited. Bondrewds visits aren’t for socializing, he barely was waving a hamburger under Belafs nose. We also wanted a piece of Belafs body from Bondrewd. But why? Whatever that is, it has no good news.
What will Reg do if he finds Rikos bargain? I can’t imagine hell being happy. In the moment, Reg has enough to deal with on his own. Reg learns from the companion of Faputas that he’s an Interference Unit that collects data from a layer of the Abyss that he shouldn’t leave. So far as Reg has left his layer, his presence is causing chaos. Reg, who spends too much time concentrating on Riko, doesn’t seem to make sense of it. I really want to see how they develop Reg instead of Rikos loyal dog.

It’s pretty much a given that if Made in Abyss isn’t doing something to roil your guts, it will be soon enough. MiA is almost one of the most horrible modes in the world, and just one of these are the worst. While the main trio were largely split over three tracks as we begin this week, its Rikos is likely to generate the next big shock moment. But in any way it’s luring is. The soul quakes at the pondering of it.
Firstly, in spite of that, we check in with Reg, who’s managed to get lost. He’s still being chased by a lanky dragon, and in general the local fauna doesn’t care about him much. After the dragon turned the dragon into a giant pit and chipped his arm, its only Faputas robot that saved a day. As it turns out, he speaks language in the voice of Takeuchi Ryota, and he doesn’t like Reg either. He thinks things might go bad when Reg is around (clearly, he has known Reg for longer than a day) and invites him to leave the village as soon as possible.
Reg again seems to be insensitive to finding out what he is, but unfortunately it doesn’t take a look. There are references to the Shourou Layer, and the robot refers to itself as an interference unit and Reg also, though that seems like a generic term for anything robotic. Unlike Reg, it can’t leave the layer where it was placed so it can’t do it if there is anyone else, but its Reg who’ll have to do it. She’s closer to her origin story, but every agonizing step feels like a thousand miles journey.
The main reason for this episode is when Riko is doing that. He takes several moments to learn the local language from the restaurant lady. There is nothing in Wazukyan and he speaks her language as well. A very good person but does not do the same thing in a sense in the sense that the word “wozuky” is spoken. Riko asks the shopkeepers to find her friends to try the Doguupu in the eye. The villagers who didn’t go there, she explained, the sickness overcomes them as they do, but when they’re outside, it’s logical place for Rikos friends to have gone in search of answers about the Iruburu village.
Even in the absence of some nagging guaranty, Riko would drag Maa on or permit Maa on. When they enter Doguupu they find a whole new set of caves, and hear a human voice called Vueko. What’s Vueko doing in this sticky place, with people who help the balancing? She’s a prisoner, he’s clear even before she tells Riko. The discussion is very ominous, and with it talk about the very evil origins of Iruburu and its opposition to the creation of Vueko was the first to get in jail in that underground cave.
Vueko can’t free herself, but Riko can’t do it and do it. We don’t know how long Vueko has been there, but ironically, it seems to have kept her human, when all of her companions has become hollows. She walked over Riko where her senses told him that one of his friends was Belafs lair and indeed Nanachi was with the sage and Majikaja. But he’s asleep, and Belaf told Riko that she was selling herself in exchange for Mitty. But how can this be frank? This is a copy made by the Belaf transaction and Bondrewd and now used as an unkillable food supply by Belaf.
Considering what Belaf gave Mitty, and the fact that Nanachi gave up the whole of herself, it won’t be easy for Riko to buy them back. The hair and nails won’t cut it (not so sweet as the gimmick). The preciousness of children in Iruburu may make all of Riko a bit too much in an ask, but Belaf informs her it will take both her eyes, or half her innards. In almost any other series you say there was no way it would end up happening except Tsukushi? Knowing that he could actually finish it is an exceptional experience. But does the fact that it’s a mad Mitty mean that Nanachi overpaid the price and reduced it? If I was in Rikos position, I would definitely make that argument.

I agree that this is not a really good thing for MiA. The Village has a deep dark secret that was kind of uncovered in this episode. The question is: why is Vueko stuck in that cold and sticky place? Who put her in the first place? She mentioned that this was something of her imprisonment, that she was against the creation of the village, but the restaurant Neherete explains to Riko that the word “dead ” means, saying something specific, words shaped like Kanji and have different meanings depending on the context. What was it that the shopkeeper said it was meant? I’ll give them the case to you.
The truth is that Reg seems to be taking the long road to remember what exactly he’s doing and where exactly he comes from, this is a side story that has been built up since the first day of Made in Abyss, today we got some answers, but we don’t think that most of all. The guardians of the village say there are other people like him, that Reg is made of the same materials, that the guardian recognises reg as being one of them. Despite the fact that guardians cannot leave a layer that they are assigned to. More guardians responded, maybe they are on the layers above or below and that still hasn’t been known.
Not knowing that this episode has gotten tired of me, yet at this point I just started to cry sometimes, maybe because I know what’s going to happen, or maybe because of this arc, which’s showing their true dark undertones.
Nanachi has gotten together once more with Mitty. She was brought down several times, according to Belaf. With black magic he used and sacrificed himself to produce this version of Mitty, this is a true copy and replica, a pure copy for the soul, but how? To live as a kitten would regenerate and Belaf could have the full moon, its endless suffering and pain for a woman. She is a genuine lover. However, even if she fails to understand the real problem of the things happening, she still feels everything. Just like all other Neheretes, Maa has only body language and facial expressions to go to. She cries when she’s afraid or angry, and can only communicate with Riko this way. In the end, Maa is the same as Mitty, at its core there is love, and he expresses it in that way. His soul, so to speak, is true of this village. There were no ill intentions, but pure curiosity was considered a bad thing. His psychological horror is the best.
Necromancy and cannibalism are not the only ones in the room.
This next chapter is a theory of mine, but because there is a thing about the real value of the village, I have been thinking about this a lot. Compared to the world, money can be the argument for instrumentation, of course. We value the whole world in our value. But I think that a child sees it from the perspective of morality, in naivete, so to speak. Maybe yes maybe not; I am not sure how to do this. Whatever the situation is, everyone must adhere to these rules. You deserve punishment for doing something bad and obey the rules of society (silver) and the balance is uncanny for all that. It’s all a matter of love and how children deserve this, even though it isn’t worth it. Or something like that. Maybe it sounds like mambo jumbo but it seems all will be clear in a couple of episodes, as I have more than imagined the full story being explained and mysteries solved.
I should plan to attend next week, so I’ll be eagerly anticipating it. The situation’s getting darker and darker from here.
