Made in Abyss season 2’s finale encapsulates an important and tragic story, but what warnings for the future?
Kodoani.com – Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun is back from a hiatus last week with a double-length episode that wraps up the story of Ganja’s Suicide Army and the Capital of the Unjust. wage. While this season may not lead to a huge step towards the heart of the abyss for Riko and the team, it further illustrates the great dangers there and the different forms they can take. perform. When Riko, Nanachi, and Reg set foot in the Capital of No Regret, the last thing they expect is to be caught in the middle of a war of revenge in a centuries-long cycle of suffering and trauma. The arrival of Riko, Reg, and Nanachi ultimately served as a means for the immortal princess Faputa to fulfill her wish, but whether the tragedies of this season will happen serves as a taste of the season. What lies at the center of the abyss?
Similar to the first episode of this year’s season, episode 12 spends a lot of time retelling the past. Episode 11 ends with Faputa in the heat of battle against the Turbinid dragons and other invading monsters, having just received a second wind after consuming the few remaining niches in Iruburu. As she prepares to fight them – while Nanachi, Reg and the others attempt to escape – the episode shifts the focus to Faputa’s time alone, just before she meets Gaburoon and even Reg. Faputa’s origins became the focus of the season when it was revealed that the creation of Iruburu and the survival of the Ganja Legion came at the cost of the lives of her mother and siblings. The only way to end this cycle – one that Wazukyan had planned to continue with Riko – was to destroy Iruburu. The flashback stands in stark contrast to the extreme violence and anger she has unleashed in the last few episodes, gently hinting at the possibility of a new path.
Faputa’s feelings become conflicted in the final two episodes as the hollows are willing to sacrifice themselves for her so that she can continue to fight, in addition to Belaf leaving her with the memories that he yes with Irumyuui. She confronts the holes in the end, saying that instead of being punished for their complicity in her mother’s suffering, they will be annihilated. This way she can fight the monsters more successfully but also gain access to memories of her mother that she realizes she doesn’t have. This episode sees Faputa fulfill her goal – the sole purpose for which she lives – by ending the cycle of suffering that has been created by the Cradle of Lust and Wazukyan’s plan to overcome humanity. . However, this did not bring Faputa the satisfaction she expected.
She wants nothing more than to hate and revive the pits, but inheriting their shared memories only raises further doubts as to whether all her rage was on purpose after all. her real or not. Especially when Faputa saw Vueko, now transformed by the invasive curse, she questioned why Vueko was so important if she couldn’t remember her. It turns out that the deeply sincere connection between Irumyuui and Vueko – though completely unknown to Faputa – is strong enough to leave an indelible mark. With all the villagers dead, Iruburu exterminated, and the invading beasts disposed of, Faputa has nothing left to do but face her emotional turmoil.
The constant trade-offs of life, death, and tragedy that built Iruburu and gave a second life to the Ganja Legion has finally come to an end, but where will that leave Faputa and the others? Season 2 illustrated the haunting effects of choices made under dire circumstances, highlighting the many sacrifices and losses suffered to survive in the abyss. Riko, Reg and Nanachi find themselves caught up in the story of the Ganja Legion but fortunately, avoid history repeating itself.
They survived this class, but will the rest of their journey unfold in tragedy? Will they ever reunite with Faputa now that she decides to discover what her purpose is? While the episode offers some hints as to what exactly comes next, Season 2’s sadness and foreshadowing underscores the inevitable loss with which the journey down the abyss is taking place. Since this is the point beyond which no one else turns back, it can only be assumed that there are many dangers lurking in the depths.
