| These episodes just keep getting better! But more questions now arise. I really want to know how they created the village and the "Hell" that's spoken of, what exactly those black things are that are used in The Balancing, and how they all became like that. I have a feeling something horrible is going to happen. |
 |
| Vueko's VA is just so relaxing. Her personality is kinda sweet tho, I'm expecting to see more of her soon. Anyway, Mitty's just a copy of the original one and she has to sell both parts of her body in exchange for them both. It was great to see Bondrewd pop on the screen even though it was just a flashback. |

ChunchunmaruZcat said: Ooohhh boy, this episode was amazing, three different pov’s being shown at once, each with its own crucial set of information. I wonder what will happen at the end? Also, what would you guys pick? Both eyes, both legs, of half your organs. If I had to, it would definitely be my legs. But I would be to scarred to do something anyway |
| Been waiting all week for this episode after all the craziness from last week and it delivered So that is a legit Mitty clone born in that village. I wish nanachi would’ve thought things thru before exchanging herself, such a thoughtless sweetheart. Wondering how riko is going to work her way out of this one. The Belaf hollow form doesn’t really seem anything like the person in the flashbacks, so I really hope we get to see more of the backstory with the village and what exactly happened. Dying to know what happened with Vueko too to get her imprisoned there. Just how much time has actually passed? She’s grown taller but hasn’t really aged. Need more of her story. |

| this is insane lol there is alot that's gonna happen this season I can already feel it. good luck to reg hope he figures out what he is / his past Riko has to think about what she's gonna give up :/ gonna be a hard choice! |
 |
| "Please don't hurt my friend anymore" as a binding contract? As an expert in reality television court law, this is clearly an invalid contract. Riko needs to find the hollow that wished to be a lawyer, he'd be a particularly slimey one. |
| Lmfao Nanachi got scammed. |
 |
| I can't believe Nanachi would sell themself without speaking to Riko or Reg first, damn. Cool episode, not too much creepy shit this time around which I appreciate. |
  |
| Great episode but this is so stressful for the current situation regarding Nanatchy that sold themselves to get that (copy) of Mitty but now Riko needs an alternative to buy them back... well I think the only "right" choice would be the two legs because in the other situations you're either blind or probably die at some point but I don't think she'll sell anything and try something else anyway. |
 |
| i wonder if she can trade that girl they found at the bottom of the cave instead |
 |
| So the Mitty that we see here is a copy and not the original. Belaf went to great lengths in sacrificing parts of itself in order to satisfy Bondrewd's demands. Crafty bastard, isn't he? Either way, I really can't blame Nanachi for letting her emotions getting the better of her judgement and sold herself in order to acquire Mitty. Riko has done really well throughout this episode. Not only does she have a decent grasp of the local language of the village, but she and the Maaa creature went underground and found Vueko and rescued her from her own predicament. I do hope we'll get more flashbacks soon that'll explain what truly happened to Vueko's group and what led her to get sealed in the dark caves that she was in. At least she now has clothes to cover up her nude body now. XD Anyways, Riko now has a very tough choice to make in order to save Mitty and Nanachi, which requires her to sell either her eyes, legs or part of her internal organs. Knowing her, she'll try another option to avoid the three laid out by Belaf or something else will interrupt this negotiation permanently. Once again, this show knows how to end an episode on a juicy cliffhanger time and time again. It's frustrating in a good way, as I'm eager to know what happens next! =) |
| One benefit of being a child is that she at least can learn a language quickly. Next episode's probably gonna be very brutal. |
 |
| The following are my thoughts on what was said at the beginning: When you think about this level might be the most dangerous one yet, not because of the actual danger, but because it toys with your emotions. This level gives you something of your deepest desire and to beat/leave would mean abandoning what you care for the most. And most people won’t, making it quite dangerous. A pretty great episode as usual, but it felt pretty short IMO. We have some information on Reg, and he’s apparently a member of the Interference Unit of his kind. We meet Vueko, who has been controlling the black goo, and she’s part of the reason Faputa transformed into what she is. At first when she said that she can be freed if you touch the goo and think “come off,” I thought she was tricking Riko into freeing her, and they would just switch places with Riko being the new prisoner. LOL. She still seems pretty sus though. I wonder how Riko is going to free Nanachi. I can't wait for the next episode. |

Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
Hyrulia said: If Reg annihilated Mitty then how did Bondrewd bring her into Ilburu with him? Maybe it was before Mitty and Nanachi escaped? I would think that maybe Bondrewd brought her down there to further test her immortality. |

| Bondrewd was in the 6th layer? Am i missing something because from what i remember no one had been down to the 6th because oft he curse. |
| Nah I would dip I would leave Nanachi there it’s not worth the sacrifice these negotiations are messed up it’s sad but she chose this it’s as simple as that |
 |
Joey-XD19202 said: I wonder how Riko is going to free Nanachi. One way I'm seeing is reversing the Nanachi's trade. He would be able to eat Mitty again and Nanachi would be awake. Now Riko only needs to say: "This Mitty is a copy. The original is really dead." |
| Even with nightmare fuel PTSD, Vueko is so cute. Goddammit I'm attached to her character now... And yeah, Reg apparently discovered what species he belongs to: "Interference Unit". Also Bondrewd not willing to give his children to strangers -> Best Dad swordmaster2551 said: Most important thing from this episode is that Bondrewd himself was able to go down to the 6th level despite having trouble straddling levels. As far as I remember, Bondrewd can visit other layers as long as he has his cartridges with him. ghost1994 said: Bondrewd was in the 6th layer? Am i missing something because from what i remember no one had been down to the 6th because oft he curse. He most likely had his cartridges with him. Hyrulia said: If Reg annihilated Mitty then how did Bondrewd bring her into Ilburu with him? ??? Bondrewd visited Iruburu with Mitty before Nanachi decided to escape with her. Mitty even has both of her eyes intact, as shown in the flashback. |
| I doubt Riko is going to go ahead with Belaf’s deal(losing both eyes, legs, or half her innards will hinder her journey). I’m curious about Vueko, is she still a human? If so, time distortion must be very strong on this layer considering it has been almost 2000 years on the surface since her group reached this place. The fact that she is chained for so long while being human raises more questions though. How does she find food? How does she interact with that darkness creature? |

| i read the manga all in one sitting and the whole "mitty is a copy" thing didn't seem like it was explained very well. so i was hoping that it would be explained a little better with the anime... but nope. was really surprised we didnt get more three-sages backstory at all in this episode as they were revealed for the cliffhanger for last episode. vueko was pretty endearing. |
KelpRings said: Dude this show feels like it’s designed just to mess with my head. They introduce new bizarre things, explain as little as possible, then leave me on a cliffhanger. It’s actually quite frustrating. But hey, at least things are starting to come together. It’s making slightly more sense, and getting more interesting. Though, I’m just waiting for them to pack up then head to the next layer. I don’t see any reason for them to stall so much here. But now they’re all separated and selling their souls or whatever. They’ve spent way too much time here. Should’ve just kept walking. should get the whistle and run, they made a mistake when they separated, but it's nanachi's fault. nanachi suggested it while riko was having a shit, and didn't even tell her anything |
| This show is so strangely creative in so many little ways, it's incredible. As is everything about Vueko, who is like the cutest person ever. |
| My God, this show man. I am not ready for what kind of fuck up shit they're gonna throw at us in the coming episodes. So that Mitty is a copy huh, just let her rest please, damn it Bondrewd. Really interesting, Reg is definitely made based on those interference units or made out of them probably. I wonder if Riko's really gonna end up selling something, though I don't really see any other way to bring back Nanachi, unless Vueko interferes, but based on what she said, that's probably just gonna make it worse lmao. Man, I can't wait to find out the origins of Iruburu and why Vueko was imprisoned, though I say I am excited, I am not excited for pain. |

timeforward said: "Please don't hurt my friend anymore" as a binding contract? As an expert in reality television court law, this is clearly an invalid contract. Riko needs to find the hollow that wished to be a lawyer, he'd be a particularly slimey one. the village insta knows the intention behind what people say |
| I ended up being wrong, I thought that was a chunk of Mitty that was cut before she lost her eye and ended up regenerating to a full body after being thrown away. |
| This anime makes me feel nauseous. Which is bad. But at the same time it leaves a lasting impact that cannot be forgotten. And that makes it good. The emotions and the human relations look so realistic, distorted and dirty&clean at the same time that I cannot take my eyes away. It's so disgusting that it leaves me in shock and in worst case I'll have nightmares of drooling distorted figures wanting to eat me. |
 |
| Ah yes I remember when this chapter was released. Of course it ended on that cliffhanger as well. Was quite the interesting debate at the time. I think next episode we should be getting back into the flashback portion which was definitely my favourite part of this arc so I'm pretty excited for that. |
| oh man! Riko's dumb if she agrees to that! body parts?!? oh damn! gore! 5/5. |
 |
| I find it curious that Belaf wanted the eyes, legs or the innards, but not the arms. Perhaps it's because her arm got screwed up because of the infection in S1 and has less intrinsic value? I could honestly see this show going with her losing her eyes to save Nanachi. Bondrewd manages to screw over Nanachi's emotions and life even when he's not physically present. |
| Decent episode, I already knew about Bondrewd going into the 6th layer, it makes you wonder if all was just a test in the movie. Riko is still being stupid and useless and I bet she isnt going to lose any body part in the next episode, eventually the deal will be bringing Vueko for Nanachi. Also Vueko is most likely the 3rd Sage, anyways 7/10 episode and the season should be around a 6.8/10. PD: Very low score coming next chapter if Riko doesnt lose any body part. |

Chikuya said: I don't understand the different time in abyss and in surface, is it vueko already in there for many years right ? Why she looks like doesn't age and looks the same ? In the other hand, Ozen aready aging from riko baby until now It was mentioned in season 1 that time flows differently in the abyss. The deeper you go the worse it gets. Just an example a day in layer 6 could be months on the surface (think of that interstellar scene with the water planet). It may even be that Lyza has been at the bottom for mere days or weeks. |

nexuro01 said: Pretty chill episode considering the fact that the only fucked up thing was Maaaaa's circumcised dick-hand. ye, but only if you use fucked up as synonym for sexual for me, I think belaf giving away so many of his organs just to eat meaty was quite fucked up |

| Another interesting episode ^.^ I was wondering the whole time how Mitty could be there when Reg incinerated her to dust in 4th Layer before, turned out 6th Layer Mitty is just a clone.
