| Thank goodness Vueko managed to make a recovery but getting an infection was still a painful experience. Not going to lie, this episode is filled with emotions and people. I think one thing this series has done really well so far is capturing the pure emotions and despair of the cast especially at such a deep level in their world. |
 |
| Things were on another level with the final reveal of the village’s origins. Vueko was actually right, it wasn’t a pleasant story, but at the end the village seems to have saved so many lives, so it might have bern worth it. As tough as Wazukyan’s decisions were, I can definitely see where he is coming from. He did all of that so they could survive, although I still feel sorry for Belaf, Vueko, Irumyuui and Faputa. First scene was so sudden also, Faputa seems to be offering everything she has for that promise. Reg and Faputa finally reunited. Belaf didn’t have a good time this whole episode. He got his happy ending at least, I guess.  |
| Faputa getting mental ... just as the whole season O.O You know, with made in abyss it is like this, when the shit hits the fan, it does not mean that the actual shit has hit the fan yet, only that the real shit is about to hit the fan. This entire village flashback arc is just one giant cruel game, not even sad, just very cruel. Chipping away bit ... by ... bit. |
 |
| So this entire place was Irumyuui all along and Faputa's her last child, damn. The pain she suffered and what she went through, that was hard to watch. This is so messed up. Also Faputa just tore part of her, she really gonna go through any lengths to get her wish fulfilled. |
 |
| Funnily enough I think Belaf had the most normal reaction of anyone to the situation. Finding out he’d eaten living children just broke him mentally as it would for any sane person. Wazukyan’s matter of fact way of speaking about the situation was very disturbing, the sound effects of him cutting up the live child was so uncomfortable. Luckily I don’t have a weak stomach, but this episode was tough. He’s definitely a good leader though. Would do anything to ensure his team’s survival. I’m guessing Reg probably promised to help Faputa destroy the village in the past which is why she was so willing to give him whatever he needed. Great episode, can’t wait to see how things get resolved. Don’t think vueko will make it out of this based on what she’s said about wanting to go with Irumyui |

| Faputa be like " Let's commit genocide. Yay!". With reason, but still. What's make the flashback interesting, is Vueko keeping her mind balanced. |
 |
| Wow just Wow... Kevin Penkin OST hits hard. Insane Backstory!! this is so sad and messed up. So Faputa was Irumyuui last child and Faputa is coming for Vengeance. |
 |
| I don't even know why, but I'm crying right now |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Episode was on another level , holy shit what an episode especially with that ost at the end. I hope Faputa gets to reunite with her mother one day |
| deepest part of the sadness from this anime is begin !! |
| This part of the manga that they adapted in these two episodes is my absolute favourite in the entire series (so far), and especially what happened in episode 8. When I read this I was so blown away, it was a complete mindfuck, but it also made me in complete awe of this series and how incredibly well written the world building and overall story is. My love for it reached a whole new high. I am so happy with how they animated these two episodes. They definitely did the manga justice, and then some. I don't really know what else to say, I'm kinda speechless tbh. |
| Things were relatively calm this season until last episode arrived, and now this one. The way everything made a full circle is one of the reasons why storytelling is the strong aspect of this series. |
 |
| Dang, that end of the episode switching to the ending where lyrics finally make complete sense was something else. |
| That was simply an amazing backstory filled with people, despair, and perhaps a glimmer of hope? It's very dark, but also very beautiful. We finally learned how Faputa came to be, and what she is trying to do. Did Reg promise to destroy the village with her? That was just so much to take in, haven't really began processing it all yet. Also teared up a little for some reason, guess the storytelling was just that good. Awesome OST by Kevin Penkin as always. |

| Damn, forgot that Faputa is Irumyuui's child (after reading manga years ago). Mistakenly believed that Irumyuui was going to transform into Faputa later. |
| Damn I know the rating for this anime is pretty high but there is a vocal minority of people who are sleeping on this season for some reason. The storytelling in the past two episodes has been impeccable, we've had two of the most brutal episodes and some mind blowing reveals. I can't wait to see what happens next. |

| It says a lot about the writing that an episode can be mostly a flashback (and you are warned, by an actual character in the show that the origin is a sad story), and it still hits like this. Given the emotional brutality that has gone into the series so far, it feels weird to say, "I was not ready for that," and yet, here we are. |
| damn she has big tits for being a kid. How old is veaku anyway? How much timed passed since all this shit happened? |
 |
| Truth about the village and Faputa is revealed. I already read the manga and, though the art was better there, it still hit. Especially moments like the ones with the mutated Irumyui and her demonic sounds. If you already know the lyrics of the ending theme, it becomes even more heartbreaking. Also, RIP to this girl who died before becoming a Narehate. Could have been a fine waifu like the cyclops.  |
 |
My reaction during watching this episode was like |
| What an insane episode, I thought Belaf would be cynical about the whole baby eating thing but his reaction was so damn sad (and realistic) |
Kayle_x_Morgana said: damn she has big tits for being a kid. How old is veaku anyway? How much timed passed since all this shit happened? She's definitely not a kid by the time they get to the 6th layer, in her 20s I'm guessing. And I believe the events in the past have happened like couple hundred years ago |
| Oh man what an episode!!!!! The way they put it together is so amazingly well done, the anime onlies will now also understand the ED and I absolutely cannot wait to see that blow up everywhere. Just beautiful, the cruelty of nature and the mystical of the abyss. Quality art |

| Just like last week, this episode really hits you and leaves you feeling almost drained and exhausted with how powerful the emotions run with this flashback story and how everything ties almost together. The whole village itself is Irumyuui herself and just seeing her transforming and growing larger and larger with each scene change was depressing to see. I can't blame Belaf for having a complete meltdown of guilt after eating the remains of Irumyuui's kids and liking the taste of it. His breakdown had a realistic feel to it, so I can only sympathise with him during this tough scene. =( The flashback also revealed that Faputa was Irumyuui's final child and how she lashed out in anger and with emotional pain was powerful. I can understand her how she'll go to any lengths in achieving her goal and the opening scene of the episode where she ripped off a part of herself and offering it to Reg shows how committed she is to her goal. What a powerful episode indeed. The storytelling has been sublime and Kevin Penkin's soundtrack knows how to hit you in the feels with perfect precision every single time. Not only that, but knowing what has happened in these last two episodes, the ED lyrics hits even harder now... |
| man, this is still just way too sad : ( |
 |
| Well, the origin of the village was explained. Much needed but you could have found out about it yourself. It's still fucked up, Wazaykun's methods were unacceptable but it was needed to save everyone. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Feels like a lot was skipped? I had difficulty puzzling together everything that was happening. I have a hard time understanding the shock of eating the "babies". They looked more like animals that would die in a day anyway while eating them would save the people. I can understand Irumyuui's anger, but Belaf's reaction seems out of place. I could understand Vueko having that reaction but not Belaf. Wazukyan did actually do the most humane thing. I actually thought they were eating Irumyuui, which would be disturbing. BTW, the eggs look like the Madoka magika soul crystals which seem to be the reference. |

| Man I can’t even eat anything while watching this it actually didn’t feel right to eat I immediately lost my appetite |
 |
| ...and I thought it was only 1 cradle egg! Wazukyan's feeling and emotion 🤯🤯🤯 They finally told us the origin of the village, I wasn't expecting it was Irumyuui herself. OST used in this episode hits like a truck, overwhelming feeling. Can't wait for the next one. |
Why do we have to live in such a cruel world?  |
| Ah, more light hearted adventuring with the MIA crew. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
jTiKey said: Feels like a lot was skipped? I had difficulty puzzling together everything that was happening. Nah, they didn't skip anything. It's just that this arc as a whole is a bit confusing and requiers a lot of attention to fully grasp. |

BTW, the eggs look like the Madoka magika soul crystals which seem to be the reference. Belaf's reaction is not out of place because there're multiple scenes showing him observing Inmyuu . He knew her wishes of having babies so ofc he feels guilty. And ofc he's the only one along along with Eluko that felt guilty about doing so cuz they're the only ppl that know Inmyuu's wishes and what they actually eat. |
| Personally speaking this went past "so weird its good" straight to .. torture porn? I have never seen anything like this. I had the biggest "WTF" on my face for 24 minutes straight but hey the outro makes sense now! |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Damn the 2nd part of the backstory is still trauma worthy but interesting as a whole to understand the situation, I understand Belaf's reaction to how mentally broken he was, same for Vueko's suicide attempt and it feels like it would have been better for her and for the situation overall if she managed to do it sadly, but that last part really shows how harsh it was for her during the whole way :/ Now it's up to how things with Faputa will turn out. |
