'Made in Abyss' Anime Spoilers: Nanachi's Story to Be Revealed in Next Episode?
Riko and Reg very quickly fell into the dangers of the Goblet of Giants, and they might not have managed to survive if not for a mysterious being stepping in to lend them a helping hand. Who is Nanachi and what role will she play in the continuing adventures of Riko and Reg on the next episode of the Japanese anime series, "Made in Abyss"?
Just as soon as the duo reached the fourth level of the Abyss, also known as the Goblet of Giants, an orbed-splitter attacked them and managed to pierce Riko through the hand with its poisonous spine. In a panic, Reg escaped with Riko by running upwards, which in turn caused Riko to bleed from every orifice — a condition brought about by the Fourth Layer's Curse.
While suffering from a bout of hallucinations, Riko told Reg to cut her infected arm off to keep the poison from spreading further into her body. However, Riko stopped breathing midway, and it was while Reg was grieving over his friend that a mysterious creature came to calm him down and instruct him to perform CPR.
This creature later introduced himself as Nanachi, a Hollow. The next episode will most definitely be explaining more about this term, which has previously been mentioned in Lyza's letter.
Who is Nanachi and what could a girl like her be doing on the Fourth Layer of the Abyss with her vast collections of cave raiding equipment and whistles? Also, the path to her place was an upward slope, and yet Riko did not suffer any curse while Reg was carrying her there.
The path toward the bottommost part of the Abyss will only become more dangerous from here on out. Can Riko and Reg make it there and find Lyza in the end?
