The second season of Made in Abyss, Kaerazu of the Fiery Sun, will begin airing in July 2022. The series follows the first season, which depicts the beginning of the adventure and Riko's encounter with Nanachi, and the new movie, which depicts her confrontation with Bondrewd, the merciless character emblematic of the series. The story centers around the adventure in the Sixth Layer of the Abyss, the City of No Return. This article will introduce the Sixth Layer of the Abyss.
Sixth Layer of the Abyss: Overview of the City of No Return
This is the setting for Riko and her friends' adventure in Season 2, and is included in volumes 6 and beyond of the manga. The depth ranges from 13,000m to 15,500m. To travel, it is possible to activate the "Altar of the Deep Sea," a relic located at the frontline base (Ido Front). However, from this point onward, there is essentially no turning back due to the upward pressure, so this is commonly referred to as the "Last Dive."
Caution! About the upward pressure of the Sixth Layer of the Abyss
The upward pressure of the Sixth Layer of the Abyss results in loss of humanity or death. Those who lose their humanity are called "Narihake" and are often transformed into lumps of flesh that are unable to communicate. However, it seems that behind this powerful curse is a blessing that bestows power upon the cursed. If the curse can be avoided or mitigated somehow, it is possible to acquire superhuman powers while retaining reason and will.
Danger! Protozoans Living on the Sixth Layer of the Abyss
Ryuusazai - Danger Level: ★★★★★★ (Extraordinary)
A gigantic creature that inhabits the Sixth Layer. Its scales release irritating poison when force is applied, and its claws instantly harden upon impact. It spits out a mixture of particles stored in its internal organs and secretions. When it explodes on impact, it unleashes a heat wave of stone and metal particles, causing severe damage to the surrounding area.
Kuongatari Danger Level: ★★★★★ (Unreasonable)
A winged insect that inhabits the Sixth Layer of the Abyss. It mimics the flower fields of Tokoshiekou that swarm in the Abyss, implanting its form in nearby creatures and turning them into nurseries. Originally a creature from the Sixth Layer, it has somehow expanded its influence to the flower fields of the Fourth Layer.
Water Elephant - Danger Level: Unknown
A gentle creature that lives near geothermal energy. Freshly laid eggs are said to be delicious. The muscles of partially hatched eggs do not break down when boiled, so they move around in the mouth, but they are delicious.
The Sixth Floor of the Abyss: A Famous Spot in the City of No Return: Iruburu, the Village of the Lost
This village is home to many lost beings, some of whom speak the official language and are able to communicate with one another. Values are exchanged within the village, and the more an individual values something, the more valuable it is. The village can see the desires of others through their soul signals, so it knows what an individual values and cannot lie.
Horror! Those who steal the value of others will face a brutal reckoning.
The act of stealing the value of others is the most severe punishment in the village. Anyone who steals something valuable will have black tentacles appear out of nowhere and begin to steal something precious to them. If the value of what they steal is not enough, even a part of their body will be taken away.
Introducing the Descendants Living in Iruburu Village
Magicaja
The first villager Riko and her friends encounter in the village. While his body is mechanical, it appears his true form is gaseous, and his mechanical body is merely a container. He can speak the official language and is able to communicate with him. He has a fairly kind personality and acts as a guide for Riko and her friends.
Maaa-san
Maaa-san has the appearance of a life-size mascot doll, making the sound "Maaaaa," and has a friendly personality. He takes a liking to Meinya, who is accompanying Riko, but gets carried away and hurts her, resulting in a harsh punishment. However, he seems to like Riko and her friends, and later reappears to help them. His ass is filthy as hell.
Moogie
The proprietress of the village restaurant. Due to her job, she is fluent in the language and has a relatively human-like appearance, even among the villagers of the Deserted. She is very caring and kind to Riko and her friends.
Wazcan
One of the Three Wise Men in Iruburu. He's a giant, horned, naruto from Japan, but he's friendly and easygoing. In fact, he's one of the people who inspired the creation of the Naruto Village.
Belaph
One of the Three Wise Men. A gigantic, monstrous creature resembling a giant snake wearing a mask. For some reason, she's also home to Meetie. This is because, when that man (｜) came to the village, he took a liking to Meetie, but refused to let her go. So, he paid the village (all 742 limbs, 50% of his body length, and some of his sensory organs) to create a perfect replica, even of his soul.
Juroimo
One of the Three Wise Men. A large, narehato in charge of defending the village. When it senses an enemy, it pulls out a large stick called a "Kamono" from its body to eliminate the intruder.
Veroelko
The remnant of a woman who was imprisoned in a large hole at the very edge of the village. Although a remnant, she retains her human form and is the most human-like in appearance among the villagers. She is said to have been deeply involved in the village's formation and was previously one of the Three Wise Men.
An entity living outside Iruburu Village
Fapta
A four-armed, brown-skinned, monstrous girl. She possesses a beautiful appearance, unlike the villagers, many of whom are non-human. The monstrous are so revered that they call her the embodiment of value and the monstrous princess. However, unlike the villagers, who are unable to leave the village, Fapta is unable to enter the village. She knows Reg and apparently met him before he lost his memory. It seems he made some kind of promise with Reg to accomplish a certain goal?
Gaburun
An interference device that works with Faputa outside the village. It was created for the purpose of investigating the Abyss, and it seems there are others on other levels as well. He is Faputa's godfather, and the name Gaburun was given to him by Faputa.
