Made in Abyss (Japanese: メイドインアビス, Hepburn: Meido in Abisu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akihito Tsukushi. It has been serialized online in Takeshobo's digital publication Web Comic Gamma since 2012 and has been collected into nine tankōbon volumes.

An anime television series adaptation by Kinema Citrus aired from July 7 to September 29, 2017. A sequel film premiered in Japan on January 17, 2020. It was originally scheduled to be released overseas on April 11, 2020, but had been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] A second anime season is set to premiere in 2022.

An action role-playing game developed by Spike Chunsoft will be released on consoles and PC in 2022.

A live-action film began early development in 2021, with Kevin McMullin hired to direct.

Plot[]

An orphaned girl named Riko lives in the Belchero Orphanage in the town of Orth. The town surrounds a strange, giant hole descending deep into the earth, which is known as the Abyss. The Abyss harbors artifacts and remnants of civilizations long gone, and is therefore a popular hunting spot for so-called Cave Raiders, who undertake arduous and dangerous descents into the mist-filled pit to recover whatever relics they can find. Returning from the Abyss can be dangerous as "the Curse of the Abyss," a mysterious and potentially fatal malady, manifests upon ascension. The deeper one goes, the more acute the effects of the curse; few who have descended into the lower regions have returned to tell of their experiences. Some legendary Cave Raiders earn the title of White Whistles, one of them being Riko's mother, Lyza, who is presumed dead after taking a "last descent" into the Abyss.

Riko's longing in life is to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a White Whistle.[4] One day, she discovers a robot resembling a human boy in the second layer of the Abyss and names him Reg. Riko and her friends sneak Reg into Belchero and quickly welcome him into their close-knit group. Some time later, a number of findings are made from the depths of the Abyss, including Lyza’s White Whistle and pages of discoveries and observations she had made, as well as a message presumably for Riko, stating she is waiting at the bottom of the Abyss. Riko, determined to find her mother, bids farewell to her friends and secretly departs into the Abyss with Reg as her companion.

Characters[]

Main characters[]

Riko (リコ)
Voiced by: Miyu Tomita[5] (Japanese); Brittany Lauda[6] (English)
Riko is an energetic and trouble-prone 12-year-old girl who wants to emulate her mother, a legendary Cave Raider named Lyza the Annihilator, who disappeared into the Abyss ten years ago. Riko is a Cave Raider-in-training at Belchero Orphanage. Despite strict orphanage policy on turning over all finds to pay for operating costs, she has secretly taken possession of a few of her finds and has swiped at least one valuable relic from the orphanage’s Director’s office, most notably the Star Compass, which she hopes to use in her exploration of the Abyss. Her mother gave birth to her during a mission in the Abyss. Despite that Riko was stillborn, Lyza and Ozen subsequently brought her back from the depths of the Abyss using a relic regarded as the “Curse-Repelling Vessel.” However, as a result of the Curse, Riko wears glasses, as she develops a headache if she does not view the world through a crystal lens.[7]
Reg (レグ, Regu)
Voiced by: Mariya Ise[5] (Japanese); Luci Christian[6] (English)
An amnesiac robot with the appearance of a human boy. He can also consume organic food despite being a machine. Having no memory of his own name after being found by Riko on the first layer of the Abyss, he was named “Reg” after a dog Riko used to own. His mechanical arms are extensible and can fire a deadly energy beam capable of melting even stone, which Riko dubs the "Incinerator.” Reg's accompanying helmet seems to flash mysteriously changing patterns each time it is placed on his head. The lights on the helmet seem to indicate the amount of energy Reg possesses, and Nanachi has suggested that, like other relics with similar light patterns, once the lights go out, Reg may cease to function if he does not recharge.
Nanachi (ナナチ)
Voiced by: Shiori Izawa[8] (Japanese); Brittney Karbowski[6] (English)
Nanachi is a Hollow (成れ果て, Narehate)[a] with somewhat rabbit-like features. As a human child, Nanachi resided in the slums, scavenging for food and written media, eating from the trash and learning to read ancient glyphs. After initially being recruited by Bondrewd under the implication that they would be trained as Cave Raiders, Nanachi befriends a young girl named Mitty on their descent into the Abyss, and together they are sent down to the sixth layer in one of Bondrewd's experiments. On their return, Nanachi's humanity was partially lost, while Mitty lost all of her humanity and became a grotesque, immortal assortment of flesh and misshapen limbs. Nanachi escaped with Mitty from Bondrewd's laboratory to spare her the pain of his cruel experiments, cared for her until her physical death, and then agreed to join Riko and Reg on their travels to the lower layers. Nanachi uses gender-neutral pronouns, and the writer has left Nanachi's gender intentionally ambiguous.[b]
Mitty (ミーティ, Mīti)
Voiced by: Eri Kitamura[11] (Japanese); Monica Rial[6] (English)
A strange, amorphous creature that lives with Nanachi on the fourth layer of the Abyss. In the past, Mitty was a normal human girl with red hair and light skin, recruited with other orphaned children from an unknown area by Bondrewd to descend into the Abyss. As a result of being sent to the sixth layer by Bondrewd, she became a Hollow, her appearance somewhat resembling that of a severely misshapen cat with a large mouth, one eye, and a personality similar to that of a friendly dog. The Curse also made her "immortal" and Bondrewd carried out gruesome experiments on her to test her recovery from potentially fatal injuries. Mitty also has the ability to provide antidotes to the Abyss' poisonous creatures, which Nanachi discovered when attempting to end her misery.

Belchero Orphanage[]

Director (院長, Inchō)
Voiced by: Yōko Sōmi (Japanese); Julie Oliver-Touchstone[6] (English)
The director of Belchero Orphanage in the city of Orth. She is quite stern, and has some interesting punishments for children who disobey the rules of the orphanage.
Jiruo (ジルオ) / Leader (リーダー, Rīdā)
Voiced by: Taishi Murata[8] (Japanese); Daniel Regojo[6] (English)
A young assistant instructor ("Moon Whistle") at Belchero Orphanage, who used to be a mentee of Lyza's, caring for Riko after she was born. While he is stern, he is also extremely perceptive and keen-minded, and behind his seemingly uncaring facade he is a compassionate and honest soul. He is commonly called "Leader" by his students. He is currently in his 20s.
Nat (ナット, Natto)
Voiced by: Mutsumi Tamura[8] (Japanese); Shannon Emerick[6] (English)
Nat is one of Riko's friends at Belchero Orphanage. It is hinted that he has feelings for her, as he was the one most firmly against her descent into the Abyss.
Shiggy (シギー, Shigī)
Voiced by: Manami Numakura[8] (Japanese); Terri Doty[6] (English)
Shiggy is another of Riko's friends at Belchero Orphanage. He helped Riko hide Reg's true nature from the adults and like Nat, knew of Riko's plans to search for her mother in the Abyss. Shiggy seems adept at swiping restricted items for his and the group's benefit.
Kiyui (キユイ)
Voiced by: Manami Hanawa[8] (Japanese); Kalin Coates[6] (English)
The youngest orphan at Belchero Orphanage, and one of Riko's friends. Kiyui has yet to reach the status of Red Whistle, so he wears a Bell and takes part in daily chores at the orphanage while the Red Whistles are out training.

Cave Raiders[]

Habolg (ハボルグ, Haborugu)
Voiced by: Tetsu Inada (Japanese); John Swasey (English)
A friendly, familiar Black Whistle who delivered Lyza's White Whistle and final notes to the surface, and supported the two main characters shortly after their departure. He is often visited by Riko and her friends when not out on expedition, and referred to by Riko as "Uncle".
Ozen (オーゼン, Ōzen)
Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara[8] (Japanese); Christine Auten[6] (English)
A White Whistle known as "Ozen the Immovable", in charge of the Seeker Camp on the second layer. She was Lyza's mentor and helped her bring Riko back to the surface after she was stillborn. It is revealed that Ozen cared for Lyza deeply, despite her tough persona, and Ozen promised Lyza to send Riko down to her if the circumstance presented itself. Ozen has embedded numerous relics in her body that grant her enormous vigor and strength. It is also stated by Habolg that Ozen has been delving in the Abyss for at least 50 years.
Marulk (マルルク, Maruruku)
Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki[8] (Japanese); Kelley Peters[6] (English)
A Blue Whistle and Ozen's apprentice, who befriends Riko and Reg during their stay at the Seeker Camp. Marulk looks like a girl and wears a blue maid dress but uses the masculine pronoun boku. It is implied that Ozen forces Marulk to dress this way.[12]
Lyza (ライザ, Raiza)
Voiced by: Maaya Sakamoto[8] (Japanese); Shelley Calene-Black[6] (English)
Riko's mother. She is the former mentee of Ozen's, and one of the few Cave Raiders to obtain the rank of White Whistle, with the title of "Lyza the Annihilator". It is mentioned that she not only conquered many hazards of the Abyss, but also fought raiding parties of foreign nations.
Bondrewd (ボンドルド, Bondorudo)
Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa[13] (Japanese); David Harbold[6] (English)
A White Whistle of ill repute, "Bondrewd the Novel" is in charge of Ido Front, a research station located at the bottom of the fifth layer, guarding the gateway to the sixth layer of the Abyss. He is the one responsible for several unethical experiments on children, including the one which transformed Nanachi and Mitty into Hollows.

Ido Front[]

Prushka (プルシュカ, Purushuka)
Voiced by: Inori Minase[14] (Japanese); Avery Smithhart (English)
Bondrewd's adopted daughter, who has spent her entire life in the fifth layer. Loves Bondrewd and calls him "Papa". Prushka befriends Riko and desires to help her in her adventure into the Abyss.
Meinya (メイニャ, Meinya)
Voiced by: Natsuko Hara (Japanese); Juliet Simmons (English)
Meinya is a pet and loyal companion, a rabbit-sized creature called a Meinastilim, which Bondrewd gave to Prushka as a gift when she was much younger and highly traumatized. Sniffing Meinya's fur seems to grant at least temporary immunity to the fifth layer curse by letting the sniffer see and thus follow Meinya's path.[15][16][17]

Sages of Ganja[]

Wazukyan (ワズキャン)
Captain of the Ganja fleet who prophesied Vueloeluko's arrival.
Belafu (ベラフ, Berafu)
Accompanied Wazukyan and Vueloeluko on their voyage to find The Abyss using the Star Compass as their guide.
Vueloeluko (ヴエロエルコ, Vueroeruko)
Opposed the creation of Ilblu Village after the discovery of The Golden City, and was banished and imprisoned in a dark, sticky pit of mud below the village. She prefers to be called Vueko (ヴエコ) due to her long name.

Media[]

Manga[]

Akihito Tsukushi began serializing the manga on Takeshobo's Web Comic Gamma website in 2012.[18] Since then, the series has been compiled into nine tankōbon volumes. Seven Seas Entertainment announced during their panel at Anime Expo 2017 that they had licensed the manga.[19]

A manga anthology, titled Made in Abyss Official Anthology – Layer 1: Irredeemable Cave Raiders (メイドインアビス公式アンソロジー　度し難き探窟家たち, Meido in Abisu Kōshiki Ansorojī: Doshigataki Tankutsuka-tachi), was released on July 29, 2017 (ISBN 978-4-8019-6012-1).[20] On December 13, 2019, Seven Seas announced they had licensed the book, and they released it on October 6, 2020 (ISBN 978-1-6450-5737-6).[21]

English adaptation[]

The translator of the anime for Sentai Filmworks, Jake Jung,[22] also adapted the manga for Seven Seas.[23] Regarding his involvement in the English version of both media, he stated, "Made in Abyss is chock-full of terminology, so I hope fans of both media are able to enjoy a seamless experience."[24] In addition, he has confirmed his intention to use gender-neutral pronouns for both Nanachi and Marulk.[25]

An anime television series adaptation was announced in December 2016.[18] The 13-episode series aired from July 7 to September 29, 2017 on AT-X, Tokyo MX, TV Aichi, Sun TV, KBS Kyoto, TVQ, Saga TV, and BS11.,[45][46][47] and covers content from volumes 1 through 3. The final episode was a 1-hour long special.[47] The series was directed by Masayuki Kojima and written by Hideyuki Kurata, with animation by Kinema Citrus and character designs by Kazuchika Kise.[18] Australian artist Kevin Penkin composed the soundtrack for the anime.[48][47] Miyu Tomita and Mariya Ise (the actresses for Riko and Reg, respectively) performed both the opening theme "Deep in Abyss" and the ending theme "Tabi no Hidarite, Saihate no Migite", the latter in collaboration with Shiori Izawa (Nanachi).[8]

Two compilation films, titled Made in Abyss: Tabidachi no Yoake (メイドインアビス 旅立ちの夜明け, "Journey's Dawn") (encompassing episodes 1–8 with new scenes for introduction) and Made in Abyss: Hōrō Suru Tasogare (��イドインアビス 放浪する黄昏, "Wandering Twilight") (encompassing episodes 9-13), were released on January 4, 2019 and January 18, 2019, respectively.[49] A sequel was announced at an event in November 2017.[50]

Following the release of the first compilation films, the sequel was revealed to be a film titled Gekijōban Made in Abyss: Fukaki Tamashii no Reimei (劇場版メイドインアビス 深き魂の黎明, Made in Abyss the Movie: Dawn of the Deep Soul).[51] The film premiered in Japan on January 17, 2020.[52][53] The film had been set to premiere in the United States at Anime Boston on April 11, 2020 before that convention's cancellation[54] due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Regular theater showings in the U.S. had been planned for April 13 (English dub) and 15 (English subtitles).[55]

Following the release of Dawn of the Deep Soul, a new sequel has been announced. The initial announcement did not reveal whether the sequel will be a TV anime series or a new film.[56] On May 5, 2021, it was announced that the sequel will be a second season, officially titled Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun (メイドインアビス 烈日の黄金郷, Made in Abyss: Retsujitsu no Ōgonkyō), which is set to premiere in 2022.[57]

Sentai Filmworks has licensed the series, and streamed it on Amazon's Anime Strike service in the U.S. and on Hidive outside of the U.S.[58][59] Sentai has since released it on home video with an English dub.[60] MVM Films has acquired the series for distribution in the UK and Ireland,[61] and Madman Entertainment has acquired the series for distribution in Australia and New Zealand.[62] Sentai Filmworks has licensed the two compilation films,[63] and screened the first film at Regal Cinemas in Los Angeles on March 15, 2019,[64] with a subtitled theatrical release on March 20, 2019, and an English-dubbed theatrical release on March 25, 2019, in collaboration with Fathom Events.[65] During its panel at Anime Expo on July 5, 2019, Sentai Filmworks announced that they had acquired the license for Dawn of the Deep Soul.[66] Sentai Filmworks planned to screen the film in North America, the United Kingdom, and Ireland with English subtitles on April 13, 2020 subtitled, and with the English dub on April 15, 2020, however, the screenings were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[67][68] Sentai Filmworks also acquired the second season for distribution worldwide except Asia, France, Germany, Italy and Middle East and North Africa, and will stream it on select digital outlets.[69]

No. Title[c] Director Writer Original air date Ref.
1"The City of the Great Pit"
"Ōana no Machi" (大穴の街)		Hitoshi HagaHideyuki KurataJuly 7, 2017 (2017-07-07)[70]
While delving into the first layer of the Abyss to search for relics, Riko and her partner Nat become separated. Spotting a beastly serpent called a crimson splitjaw nearby, Riko uses her Red Whistle to draw its attention in order to save Nat from being eaten. Despite Riko getting cornered by the crimson splitjaw to the point of almost becoming devoured, the crimson splitjaw is suddenly chased off by a powerful energy blast. Riko traces the source of the energy blast back to a robot boy rendered unconscious. Riko and Nat carry the robot boy back to their home at Belchero Orphanage, stashing him away in a shed. Later, the Director makes a clear statement to the orphans that relics generate income for the orphanage, while instructor Jiruo tells Riko that she is not ready to be assigned into the lower layers of the Abyss at her current level. At nighttime, with the help of her friends, Riko is able to revive the robot boy, who seems to be amnesiac. Riko names the robot boy Reg and escapes from Jiruo's watchful eye, taking Reg outside during sunrise to show him the large city of Orth, which sits atop the Abyss.
2"Resurrection Festival"
"Fukkatsu-sai" (復活祭)		Satoshi MoriHideyuki KurataJuly 14, 2017 (2017-07-14)[71]
Believing that Reg came from the bottom of the Abyss, Riko, Nat, Shiggy and Kiyui fail to find a robot boy within the illustrated compilation of recovered relics. Fearing that Reg might be taken away and dismantled if he was ever found out, the others disguise him as a regular orphan and discreetly arrange his enrollment with Jiruo in the orphanage, where he begins his rank training as a Bell. Two months later, Habolg, a Black Whistle Cave Raider, returns from his expedition in the second layer of the Abyss with a White Whistle owned by Riko's mother Lyza as well as a sealed document. As a festival is celebrated for the return of Lyza's White Whistle, Jiruo tells Riko that she was born in the Abyss, in which Lyza used a rare relic called the Curse-Repelling Vessel to return Riko safely to the surface before searching for the legendary relic called the Unheard Bell. Riko is then given Lyza's White Whistle and is allowed to view the sealed document, which reveals a drawing of Reg and a note from Lyza saying that she is waiting at the bottom of the Abyss.
3"Departure"
"Shuppatsu" (出発)		Sun Hi SonHideyuki KurataJuly 21, 2017 (2017-07-21)[72]
Riko decides to descend into the Abyss in order to find Lyza. However, Nat openly opposes this idea, believing that Riko will never return to the surface by doing so. When Reg does his first delve as a Red Whistle with Nat into the first layer to search for relics on the next day, Reg believes that he will find answers to his own identity and lost memories in the Abyss by joining Riko. While Riko and Reg plan to sneak out of the orphanage before daybreak, Shiggy gives them a map of the Abyss, containing all six known layers. Riko is angered when Nat points out that Lyza most likely died a long time ago since it would be impossible for even a White Whistle to survive in the Abyss for ten years. When Nat later goes missing, Reg looks for him in Kiyui's room. After seemingly bluffing a suspicious Jiruo, Reg reunites with Riko and Shiggy outside. They are met by Nat, who regrets previously saying such hurtful things. Nat agrees to guide them to the wharf quarter, a secret entry point into the Abyss. After saying their goodbyes, Riko and Reg depart for their journey.
4"The Edge of the Abyss"
"Abisu no Fuchi" (アビスの淵)		Shinya IinoKeigo KoyanagiJuly 28, 2017 (2017-07-28)[73]
Riko and Reg manage to descend deep down into the first layer, the Edge of the Abyss. After eating freshly caught demonfish for breakfast, Riko loses her Star Compass, a relic previously recovered, as it drops down a waterfall. Reg then shows Riko a letter that was slipped into his backpack. It contains a copy of vital information about the Abyss, as well as a note from Jiruo warning them that they will be pursued at dawn. Riko concludes that they will not be pursued if they can reach the second layer. As Riko and Reg escape the territory of a silkfang, a large insect, they are intercepted by Habolg. He was requested by Nat and Shiggy to escort Riko and Reg to the Seeker Camp in the second layer. However, Riko kindly declines the offer since she and Reg wants to reach the Seeker Camp on their own. Habolg informs Riko and Reg that the guardian of the Seeker Camp is Ozen, a White Whistle who helped Lyza transport the infant Riko to the surface, though warning them to be wary of Ozen before saying his farewells. Riko and Reg then reach the second layer, the Forest of Temptation.
5"Incinerator"
"Kasō Hō" (火葬砲)		Toshiharu KudōKeigo KoyanagiAugust 4, 2017 (2017-08-04)[74]
As Riko and Reg proceed through the Forest of Temptation, they encounter a large carnivorous bird called a corpse-weeper, which can mimic the cries of help from its prey. When Riko is captured by another corpse-weeper and flown to its nest to be fed to its chicks, Reg desperately activates an incendiary cannon within his hand that destroys the corpse-weeper and a large swathe of the surrounding landscape. After being saved, Riko is greatly impressed with Reg's incendiary cannon and dubs it the Incinerator. However, Reg passes out from the strain of using the weapon. After Reg wakes up, Riko reveals that she lost her notebook, which contains all her writings during her time in the Abyss. After sharing some delicious meat of the corpse-weeper that was left behind, Riko and Reg proceed to the Inverted Forest, found in the lowest area in the Forest of Temptation. They are soon chased off by several red-eyed gibbons called inbyos, which are very territorial. Riko and Reg then approach the Seeker Camp, which was originally built as a stopover point for Cave Raiders. When Reg tries to use his extendable arms to gain entry, Ozen seizes hold of Reg's extendable arms instead.
6"Seeker Camp"
"Shīkā Kyanpu" (監視基地 (シーカーキャンプ))		Hitoshi HagaKeigo KoyanagiAugust 11, 2017 (2017-08-11)[75]
Ozen releases Reg's extendable arms and lowers a gondola, allowing Riko and Reg inside the Seeker Camp. After finally meeting Ozen and her apprentice Marulk, Riko thanks Ozen for carrying her to the surface long ago, though Ozen amusingly points out that she had considered abandoning Riko many times. Ozen lends Blue Whistles to Riko and Reg in exchange for Lyza's White Whistle. Riko and Reg quickly befriend Marulk, who became a Blue Whistle at a young age due to being a direct apprentice of Ozen. After Riko is fascinated by old relics stowed away, Marulk wishes that Riko and Reg can stay a bit longer so they can delve together. However, Riko reluctantly declines since her mission is to find Lyza at the bottom of the Abyss. That night, Riko encounters a strange creature while looking for the bathroom, having to flee back to her bedroom. The next morning, Ozen takes Riko and Reg to her private chamber. Along the way, Ozen says that Lyza is dead, since she recovered the letter from a grave in the fourth layer, also claiming that the note was not handwritten by Lyza. Once inside the chamber, Riko sees the Curse-Repelling Vessel.
7"The Unmovable Sovereign"
"Fudō Kyō" (不動卿)		Shinya IinoHideyuki KurataAugust 18, 2017 (2017-08-18)[76]
Ozen reveals that the Curse-Repelling Vessel has the power to temporarily revive the dead, in which Riko died from birth and was revived by the relic. The strange creature that Ozen had place inside there earlier was just a lump of meat, returning to life before dying again a few hours later. An angry Reg begins attacking Ozen, but she remains unmoved and soon renders him unconscious from her superhuman strength. Reg is awakened by the Subterranean Bandits (Simred, Yelme and Zapo), thanks to Marulk calling them in. Ozen admits that she was testing Riko and Reg to surmise if they can survive in the Abyss, concluding that they need training. She also reveals that the grave was in fact empty, implying that Lyza may be still alive. A flashback shows when Ozen mentored Lyza from a Red Whistle to a Black Whistle. Following Reg's recovery, Ozen tasks Riko and Reg to survive in the outer edge of the Inverted Forest for ten days. Because it would leave Riko and Reg defenseless, Ozen suggests for Reg to use the Incinerator as a last resort, since he would faint within minutes and remain unconscious for two hours.
8"Survival Training"
"Seizon Kunren" (生存訓練)		Shinya IinoHideyuki KurataAugust 25, 2017 (2017-08-25)[77]
After Ozen leaves Riko and Reg to fend for themselves, the two quickly find aquatic insects called rohanas, which only live in clean water. After setting up camp, Riko and Reg spend the next five days struggling to capture an ottoba, a large amphibious animal. After ten days, Riko and Reg successfully complete their survival training and return to the Seeker Camp. Ozen instructs Riko and Reg to avoid the other White Whistles who are currently exploring the fifth layer. Ozen then notices that the note handwritten by Lyza was done on a strong fabric that not even Ozen can tear apart, another sign that Lyza must be indeed alive. Ozen gives Riko a relic called the Blaze Reap, Lyza's abnormally large pickaxe that was salvaged from the fourth layer, which can sparingly used before breaking as an alternative to the Incinerator. Ozen then shares the secrets of the Abyss accessible only to the White Whistles. Later on, Marulk and the Subterranean Bandits bid farewell to Riko and Reg. Ozen reminisces about the promise that she made to Lyza long ago, which was to help Riko find Lyza. Riko and Reg set off towards the third layer, the Great Fault.
9"The Great Fault"
"Dai Dansō" (大断層)		Hitoshi HagaHideyuki KurataSeptember 1, 2017 (2017-09-01)[78]
Riko and Reg climb down the Great Fault, using countless interlocking caverns to avoid the inhibiting madokajacks, large aerial predators that are reptilian creatures with an insect-like appearance. However, they stumble into a den of a madokajack, which forces Reg to use the Incinerator to kill it. Unfortunately, this attracts the attention of the crimson splitjaw previously wounded by the Incinerator. After narrowly escaping, Reg falls unconscious, leaving Riko to fend for herself. As a hungry Riko drags Reg along, she is lured in and swallowed by an amakagame, a bulbous creature, having to cut her way out of its stomach using a dagger. Riko then flees from a swarm of neritantans, flat rodent-like creatures, finding herself in a cavern with an upward slope. As she heads up the slope, she starts experiencing vertigo and hallucinations, the Curse of the third layer. After reaching the top of the cavern, Riko realizes the importance of Reg as both her friend and protector. Reg awakens just as the crimson splitjaw returns, and he uses the Blaze Reap to chase it off. After setting up camp in the cavern, Riko and Reg can now see the fourth layer, the Goblets of Giants.
10"Poison and the Curse"
"Doku to Noroi" (毒と呪い)		Sun Hi SonKeigo KoyanagiSeptember 8, 2017 (2017-09-08)[79]
Riko and Reg travel in the Goblets of Giants, a humid jungle filled with flat-creepers, which are weaving giant concave discs. They are soon confronted by an orb piercer, a large porcupine-like animal. After Riko reveals that the orb piercer's quills can penetrate steel and are laced with poison, Riko and Reg try to escape. However, the orb piercer predicts their movements and halts them, knocking the Blaze Reap out of their grasp. The orb piercer even uses its quills to penetrate through a relic called the Scaled Umbrella, breaking Reg's defense, and one quill penetrates Riko's left hand, which injects lethal poison into her body. This forces Reg to escape with her by ascending, though Riko begins to bleed from every orifice, the Curse of the fourth layer. Riko urges Reg to sever her left arm in order to prevent the poison from going further, in which he hesitantly complies. Riko stops breathing midway through the process, causing Reg to fall into despair. A mysterious rabbit-like being tells Reg to remain calm, guiding him to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and getting Riko to breathe again. Riko and Reg retreat to the hideout of the being, whose name is Nanachi.
11"Nanachi"
"Nanachi" (ナナチ)		Toshiharu KudōKeigo KoyanagiSeptember 15, 2017 (2017-09-15)[80]
In the hideout, Nanachi begins patching up Riko's swollen left hand. Nanachi admits to watching and listening to Reg until Riko was badly injured ever since they both entered the Goblets of Giants. Reg is then introduced to Mitty, a misshapen cat-like creature living with Nanachi, who reveals that both of them are Hollows, young Cave Raiders who have lost their humanity as a result of the Curse of the sixth layer from the strains of ascension, although Nanachi exhibits proof of surviving and retaining a semblance of humanity. Nanachi sends Reg off to fetch ingredients to heal Riko as well as to make Nanachi's dinner. Nanachi seems to recognize Lyza's White Whistle that Riko kept with her. Reg fetches a demonfish, the giant eggs of a hammerbeak, some yellow-shining grass and a shroombear infected with parasitic water shrooms. Nanachi then sends Reg to clean Riko's clothes, stained with blood and urine, at a riverbank behind Nanachi's hideout. Reg walks among the eternal fortunes, which are perennial plants that grow fast, and a memory resurfaces of him standing by a gravestone with the Blaze Reap in the ground. While Riko is left alone, Mitty begins to eye her.
12"The True Nature of the Curse"
"Noroi no Shōtai" (呪いの正体)		Masayuki KojimaKeigo KoyanagiSeptember 22, 2017 (2017-09-22)[81]
In Orth, Kiyui falls ill to a mysterious plague known as the Birthday-Death Disease, rumored to affect citizens on their birthdays. Jiruo takes Kiyui to the Caravan Fleet, a boat anchored in the bay surrounding the Abyss, for medical treatment. When Kiyui's symptoms suddenly disappear, pharmacist Mio muses that it reminded her of the bizarre Curse of the Abyss. Back in the Abyss, Mitty has apparently become emotionally attached to Riko, but Nanachi assures Reg that Mitty will not harm Riko. After dinner, Nanachi uses a relic called a fog weave, a thin piece of cloth, to demonstrate the true nature of the Curse of the Abyss. The force field is weaker away from the vertical shaft, and creatures like the orb piercer can predict the actions of their prey. During a training session with Nanachi in the Goblets of Giants, Reg comes across a Black Whistle Cave Raider being attacked by the orb piercer. Thanks to Nanachi's instructions, Reg is able to chase off the orb piercer with the Incinerator. Reg then asks the Black Whistle to tell Jiruo that both he and Riko are continuing their adventure. When Reg returns, Nanachi surprisingly requests for Reg to kill Mitty.
13"The Challengers"
"Idomu Monotachi" (挑む者たち)		Satoshi MoriHideyuki KurataSeptember 29, 2017 (2017-09-29)[d][82]
Once Reg recovers from using the Incinerator, Nanachi reveals that several children including Nanachi and Mitty were duped by the White Whistle Bondrewd, who took all of them to Ido Front located in the fifth layer, the Sea of Corpses, and used them for his inhumane experiments into the Curse. Nanachi and Mitty were sent together to the Miniature Garden of Dawn of the sixth layer, The Capital of the Unreturned, and afflicted by the Curse upon their ascension, leading to their current appearances and making Mitty immortal. After Bondrewd tried to kill Mitty several times, Nanachi escaped with Mitty, but has unsuccessfully tried to relieve her suffering and restore her dignity. Reg eventually accedes to Nanachi's request to kill Mitty. After Nanachi bids a tearful farewell to Mitty, Reg destroys Mitty with his Incinerator. Riko wakes up the next day, having pan-fried demonfish for breakfast with Reg and Nanachi. Surprisingly, Riko had disturbing dreams of Mitty during her recovery. After spending some time at a natural hot spring with Reg and then having the parasitic water shrooms painfully removed from her left hand, Riko asks Nanachi to join the quest in finding Lyza, in which Nanachi agrees. Before leaving the hideout, Riko, Reg and Nanachi prepare preserved medicines, sort delving equipment, procure water-repellent materials, rehabilitate the arm, construct a support and complete a new backpack. Meanwhile, their letter sent via mail balloon is eventually received by Nat and Shiggy on the surface. At Ido Front, Bondrewd discovers that Mitty's life signature has disappeared and realizes that Nanachi somehow managed to kill Mitty, expressing a desire to meet Nanachi again.

"Made in Abyss: Fukaki Tamashii no Reimei" (メイドインアビス 深き魂の黎明)		Masayuki KojimaHideyuki KurataJanuary 17, 2020 (2020-01-17)

Riko, Reg, Nanachi travel deep into the Goblets of Giants and reach the Garden of the Flowers of Resilience, eventually encountering an underling of the White Whistle Bondrewd called an Umbra Hand, who momentarily sets the field ablaze to destroy the amaranthine-deceptors, green parasitic insects that have migrated from the sixth layer. The trio continue through the Sea of Corpses, where they eat raw hamashirama, a bizarre fish, before reaching Ido Front, which is the only gateway into the sixth level. They are greeted by Prushka, Bondrewd's garrulous adoptive daughter, while Bondrewd himself invites them to stay overnight. Before bedtime, Reg is told by Nanachi that he has three more uses of the Incinerator left, according to the glass lens of his helmet. While Nanachi later goes snooping and encounters Bondrewd in the hallway, Reg is shown to be captured in a laboratory by the Umbra Hands, who sever Reg's right hand during an experiment. While searching for them, Riko begins to ascend a forbidden staircase, leading to complete sensory deprivation and confusion, the Curse of the fifth layer. After regaining consciousness from falling, Riko is found and bandaged by Prushka. They ascend the staircase together after a whiff of the fur of Prushka's pet Meinya. Nanachi, Riko, Prushka and Meinya all arrive and save Reg from the Umbra Hands. With Prushka's help, Riko, Reg and Nanachi escape by boat, but Bondrewd soon find the three in the sandstone region of the fifth layer. Riko springs a trap set by Nanachi, while Bondrewd and the Umbra Hands are attacked by a colony of huge seven-tailed scorpions called Stingerheads. Bondrewd uses Sparagmos, a relic that generates a mysterious blade of light, to blast his way free. Reg drags Bondrewd into the ocean and swiftly back onto land, causing Bondrewd to suffer from the Curse and his body to be malformed beyond repair. However, another Umbra Hand takes Bondrewd's White Whistle and helmet and becomes Bondrewd. After subduing Reg and Riko, Bondrewd explains to Nanachi that the Abyss also grants the phenomenon called the Blessing, which is fueled through love. Later on, Prushka is dismembered in the laboratory by Bondrewd. Riko realizes from a heartfelt dream about Prushka that Bondrewd possesses a rare relic called Zoaholic, which can allow him to disperse his consciousness into his Umbra Hands. Formulating a plan for Reg to recharge using the electricity powering Ido Front, Riko and Nanachi follow Meinya to a storage room full of cartridges, specialized packages made from the flesh and essence of humans. Bondrewd is revealed to use his original body to create his White Whistle. Reg then mounts a ferocious attack against Bondrewd, breaking through the storage room and dragged into the Miniature Garden of Dawn below. Nanachi guides Reg to safety as the water bastion from above collapses. As Bondrewd is fully transformed through the Blessing, he ejects all the profusely bleeding cartridges, including that of Prushka. The trio manage to work together to defeat Bondrewd using the Incinerator. Bondrewd praises Nanachi and reveals that his new aspiration is for Nanachi to push forward. A distraught Riko is finally relieved after finding out that Prushka's consciousness has been converted into a Life Reverberating Stone, the material that White Whistles are cut from. Now entrusted with her new White Whistle, Riko begins her last dive to the Capital of the Unreturned with Reg, Nanachi and Meinya.

The short films include Marulk running a small errand with the help of Nat, as well as Marulk having a recollection of his scary past which reveals his first heartwarming encounter with Ozen.
