I am sure the Abyss has twisted them, but they were twisted from the beginning too. Expand Usually people who get kicked out of their homelands are innocent victims. But I guess that isn't the case here. Although, weren't the puritans responsible for the witch trials? I guess not all outcasts are innocent after all. 1

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Wow, what an absolutely tragic tale all around. I kind of got a new respect for Belaf though I'll say. He couldn't go along with what they were doing to Irumyuui. Kind of seems out of character though for him to then take Nanachi like he did, but I guess in a way it's what Nanachi wanted. 3
ben0119 Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Though I'm not sure why some of the villagers speak that weird language if they are all from that same group. 2

Expand Not sure, they just state that they were hated in their homeland and got kicked out and were looking for a place to find something more than human. And I guess they found it in the Abyss. Wazukyan also see's himself as a prophet that has foresight and there is a bit of a cult around him and the Sages. Edited January 15, 2023 by atomicinumatt 1

Expand There are actually multiple languages, but one tends to be translated for the viewer. English in this case. You have at least three languages: cave raiders, Ganja/villagers, and the natives Irumyuui came from.

Expand Yeah, but, the Hollows in that village are all supposed to be part of the group Vueko was with, so they should all speak the same language.

Expand So, these people were batshit from the beginning, then, and only got worse. Though Vueko seemed pretty normal. Yeah I guess you're right. I thought it was just their organizational structure and culture, but it is kind of like a cult. 1

Expand The Village, at its time of creation nearly 2000 years ago surface time when the Ganja arrived at the Abyss, was only populated with Ganja members. But after its creation others joined. Probably other Delvers and people foolish enough to venture into the Abyss and got stuck on the 6th Layer.

OwlChemist81 Posted January 15, 2023 Author Posted January 15, 2023 Somehow I missed that this episode was the 2nd half of a 2-part flashback. Maybe the scene at the beginning with Faputa kinda threw me off? The reviewers at ANN seem rather stingy with 5-star ratings these days, but this episode got one, and it was well-deserved! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/made-in-abyss-the-golden-city-of-the-scorching-sun/episode-8/.188995 The year is young, but this is quite possibly the best thing Toonami has shown so far in 2023.
