/a/ - Animu & Mango

I'm curious as to whether Nanachi was unaware that it was a copy of Mitty therefor nullifying the trade or if Reg is going to solve this whole situation.

Or maybe it could turn out that in addition to the author's many other fetishes he has an amputation fetish and we're going to get a cute fuckable backpack loli.

>>797520

Maybe Bonelewd comes over and backpack loli gets a nice set of dead-killy-stomping-legs with cybernetic enhancements.

Her and Reg could finally gattai.

>>797520

The only realistic direction I can see it going from here is either Reg incinerating Belafu/the entire city or leaving Nanachi behind as I just can't imagine the story continuing with Riko being a cripple. I think somehow Veko and/or Faputa may be key in solving this dilemma. Either way, I don't think they will be leaving the city without some sort of explosion of violence.

>>797524

Veko is the real wildcard here. We're not sure what her role in all of this will really be or what her intentions are or if she will involve herself in this transaction.

How the fuck did bondrewd make it up and down? Ascending the 6th layer is death. Was it the cartridges?

>>797532

>asking whether Bestdad used any cartridges or not

The answer is probably yes.

>>797532

Yup. It's likely the entire reason he invented them. He needed a reliable way to beat the curse without leaving a pile of curse blobs on the elevator every time he needed to return with more research materials.

Can someone explain to me how Mitty is there? Is it a clone of Mitty or something? I mean, Mitty was incinerated by Reg weren't she?

>>797533

>>797534

I'm just kinda confused on the timeline. It was after mitty but obviously before nananchi escaped with her. How many cartridges did he have? I thought mitty and nanachi were his last two subjects at the time, and they lead him to perfect the cartridge. Did he get a fresh batch of kids to box and take mitty down before they got away?

>>797536

belafu states directly he/she made a perfect replica of mitty from his/her body. The same way the town can rearrange value when the law is broken, presumably.

>>797536

>Bestdad shows up in Ancap village to flaunt his new pokerman

>Sage really wants it, offers trade

>Bonedaddy pulls a "that kid" and fucks off

>Sage trades an arm and a leg among other things via desire voodoo-magicks for a perfect reproduction of Mitty

So, all of that took place before Nanachi and her escaped.

>>797537

Belafu offered a trade to Ancap village for a Mitty. Whether or not it's a recreation, a copy, a reincarnation or the original, we have no idea. What we've effectively learned here, though, is that Ancap village can give you just about anything if you offer up enough valuables in exchange, not just smashing little gerbil men to death with penis tentacles.

>>797531

You know what, now that I'm thinking about it, look at Veko in the forth panel of the first image in >>797513 , then look at the signal network in the sixth panel.

I'm thinking that the network is how the system of value balance works, which is the underlying construct of the village. Each of those nodes in the network image may be other people who were bound like Veko is, and with her freed from her node it could bring the entire system crashing down.

>>797588

Are you going to cover it in fluffy? It seems too thin as it is right now.

>You can give up both of your eyes, two limbs, or half your internal organs

>So choose who you want to cosplay: Roy Mustang, Edward Elric, or Izumi Curtis

The thing is, provided you have something of value, anything can be created out of the raw matter of the village. So even if Riko loses part of her body right now, replacements can later be created.

>>797524

I can't imagine Nanachi being left behind. She's just too popular for the series, even if her story has mostly been told at this point. And they can't leave and then come back later because ascending when outside the village is deadly. Maybe Reg could go off and look for something of value to trade, but he couldn't possibly find his way back.

There's just too many new characters popping up for this arc to end anytime soon. We still don't know what Faputa does, or much of anything about the big robot traveling with Reg, or who the two other "sages" are.

>>797614

Nanachi was never meant to be a permanent addition to the cast. She was supposed to die during the bestdad fight, which may have been what that line "I've always been dreaming of the day I'd take you down with me" is referencing. Seems like she was originally supposed to Allahu Ackbar him in some way or another. But she was so popular she was kept around.

They could very well just leave Nanachi there as a semi-graceful (by this series' standards) way of permanently removing a character from the main cast without outright killing her.

>>797614

We know who two of the sages are. One of which being the lovecraftian monstrosity playing Deal or No Deal in this latest chapter, and the other being a really chill guy hanging out in the place Riko went to eat. Only one is missing, and that assumes it's not secretly one of the new faces we've already seen, such as Tomoko or Faputa.

Also, consider that Faputa is in the flashbacks concerning the creation of the village.

>>797538

>>797537

>timeline

Anon.... I

Did you forget what Ozen said? And what did you think those funeral cards were? Did Lyza really intend to let her child be an orphan for 12 whole years?

Don't worry, Mitty was free from that form for long enough before being reincarnated.

>>797614

The moral is that the whole dillema can be solved and value can be created so long as you value yourself more than others.

>>797627

Yeah, just don't see that. Especially because of Riko being the way she is. They'd have to drag her kicking and screaming before she'd abandon Nanachi. Now, of course this opens up the possibility that Nanachi will free her via sacrificing herself, but that won't come right now.

>>797631

So a complete narcissist would just wreck that place. Maybe that's what Faputa is. Someone that had an absurd sense of self-worth (like a princess) would throw the entire economy into a tailspin. Worst case scenario, it would wipe the village clean of most inhabitants like some kind of periodic apocalypse, and it just so happens that our gang has shown up once every however many years it happens.

>>797588

Just the man I wanted to talk to. I don't know if you ever saw the message in the last thread, but I've been doing a lot of sculpture and moldmaking over the past few months, and it just so happens that I've been working with the same kind of super sculpey you recently picked up.

If you want to talk shop and seek advice, I'm usually hanging around /tg/'s crafts thread. Lots of MiA fans there too who'd probably love to see how your work is coming along.

>>>/tg/308131

>>797629

Ozen's words may have been just hyperbole, as no one else has mentioned it. And I don't think the recreation is has the same soul as the real mitty. It's a carbon copy, and we might've had a soul recreated that mirrored mitty's just for it to use. We don't know how powerful this value system can be.

She's going to give up half her innards for the sole reason of turning bathroom scenes into plot points.

>>797690

The fetishes will only increase in power

>>797692

It hasn't been long enough since her arm got snap crackle popped. Loli gore has to be well paced to be properly enjoyed. My prediction is she will make a deal, but she won't lose anything because the free market gods got destroyed when Veko was released. Then we'll get to see the economic collapse and subsequent chaos of the village.

>Town eventually collapses or they just leave

>Party regroups with new members

>Nanachi brings Mitty

>Riko brings Veko

>Reg brings Faputa

>Giant robot may or may not accompany, at least until they reach the next layer

Would it be wrong to want this?

I dont see why she would give up anything.

Veko and Faputa clearly play a major role in Ancap town and its creation and current standings. There is also Rikos white whistle being worked on.

>Realize that a few chapters have come out

>Haven't checked in since the chapter with the weird toilet

>Batoto is dead

>Wait no it's alive but the english translation is M.I.A.

So Where is OP getting this, because I really need to catch up and would rather not read potato quality if possible.

>>797738

Veko is Riko's mom, right? She just forgot her identity or something?

>>797746

It certainly is a possibility.

>>797737

>>Batoto is dead

>>Wait no it's alive

New Batoto is apparently a crypto farm. Don't use it. Go to mangadex.

**What is with this manga and dismemberment?

Jesus christ this makes me hurt just thinking about it.**

>>797690

>We took away half your internal organs, but replaced them with more colon

>Now you will produce three as much poop as before, because Abyss-magic

I wouldn't argue against this.

>>797746

Doubt it. Why would her name be different than what everyone in Orth knew her as? But it could be Riko's grandmother seeing how time is fucked in the Abyss, and maybe the village is completely sealed off from reality.

Or it's Riko's long-lost oneesan.

>>797532

Did you forget that the man can soul surf? He probably has a group of Praying Hands permanently hanging out next to the bottom of the elevator whose sole purpose is to periodically amass resources whenever he sends the elevator down, with one dude being his eyes in the Sixth when he wants to study its geography.

Well at least if Riko trades away her limbs she can get rid of the gimp arm, then she could use value she's accumulated to get some weird narehate limbs.

So I was just talking to a buddy of mine and he had a really wild theory that I think is worth talking over: He thinks that Belafu didn’t keep the fake Mitty, but instead traded it to Bondrewd for the real one along with whatever he originally went down to find. I didn’t agree with him at first, but the more I think the more (narrative) sense it makes What possible reason is there for Bondrewd to bring Mitty all the way to the village if he wasn’t using her as a bargaining chip? If he kept the real one, why would he rip up such a valuable specimen (he didn’t do it to the other melty blobs in the garden) and let Nanachi run away with it if? Why would Nanachi care for an artificial duplicate enough to sell herself to stay with and protect it if she already had Reg Old Yeller’d the real one? If absolutely nothing else, Belafu seems to be honest enough to have confessed it was a fake before making a transaction if Nanachi ran in screaming to have “her” Mitty back. So now I don’t know, what do you guys think is the likelihood of this theory being true, and would you prefer it to be right or for Nanachi and Riko to be selling their bodies for an illusion like morons?

>>797783

Shit you're right, I misremembered it as "two of your limbs".

>>797538

>Did he get a fresh batch of kids to box and take mitty down before they got away?

Are you just now realizing that had to be the case? Here’s another question:

If Mitty and Nanachi were Bondrewd’s final children (besides Prushka) and the breakthrough necessary to complete the cartridges, how would he have had five of them to burn through while fucking with Reg?

>>797692

>mitty had one eye fucked up and this one has 2

2 seconds of thought and a functional memory is all you need to remember that Bondrewd was experimenting on how to kill Mitty and scarred her up pretty badly, and by extension realize that this trip down happened before he cut out her eye.

>>797717

>hasn't been long enough since her arm got snap crackle popped.

That was 20+ chapters ago. If that’s not long enough, when is?

I dont understand why senpai bring mitty back tho, her story with nanachi already over, with the mercy kills and all. do reg need to evaporate her again? is this other nanachi story?

I'm bit mad , It make her mercy kill moment feel meaningless.

>>797515

>But then Nanachi had to come and see for themselves

>To buy Mitty... Nanachi sold them-self

I see tumblr has infected the translation.

given the options presented are adventure, ending, I wonder if Riko will go halfway on all three.

One leg, one eye...and throw in a junk arm instead of organs and get some cool prosthetics.

>>797812

B-but you can't tell what gender she is! Despite her name, appearance, and mannerisms implying she's female, and an entire flashback from when she was still human showing her as a girl. You just don't know. It's impossible.

>>797812

The tr/a/nslation still has her proper shitlord-pronouns. Not all is lost.

>>797784

It sorta makes sense. But then, whose soul was inside the fake Mitty? Why wasn't Nanachi able to tell the difference, and why didn't she suspect something when Bonedad went down to the Sixth Layer for a quick vacation and took Mitty with him?

Either way, it raises the very interesting possibility of the abyss being able to create "fake souls". It throws us right back to the whole "what if Riko doesn't have a human soul because she's dead?" thing. What if the curse-repelling box doesn't reanimate the dead so much as construct an artificial soul to inhabit it? It's creepy to think of.

>>797812

It's not tumblr's fault that English doesn't have a gender-neutral singular pronoun. However, Japanese DOES, and that's what's being used to describe Nanachi in the ORIGINAL, whether you fucking like it or not.

So if you're going to blame someone, blame the author; it's his choice to do this. Otherwise, keep your /pol/tardism out of it. This isn't the place for you to virtue-signal how much you support their agenda. Nobody is impressed.

>>797834

>what is "it"

>>797841

The only one taking her virginity is going to be Reg.

On their honeymoon.

One thing I'm not sure I've understood, the village can create things you wish if you sacrifice other things that have the same value, right?

So Riko can trade her legs/organs/eyes to buy both nanachi and mitty, and then afterwards gain her organs/legs/eyes back by trading for something that has the same value, correct?

>>797659

Eyes are eye. Riko confirmed she's real.

>>797629 is correct. Mitty will probably join the crew because Riko said she smelled smoke but the incinerator gives no smoke but Nanachi got smoked now.

Gay if true.

>>797856

>Faptua killed Reg or Riko or someone

>Survivor uses value to buy Nanachi and Mitty and Reg, but Regs arm is healed

>Oh and Mitty is human Mitty too because that's who they remember her as

I mean, she should be dead but I can't see them killing her twice.

>>797784

...because Brondronde was happy and impressed Nanachi found a way to kill Mitty, and then he tried to steal Regs arms since they killed Mitty?

Why does evey fan of this manta have zero memory and reading comprehension? Dumb weebs that need Shonen Jump flashbacks to follow anything and are otherwise immune to retcons and plotholes.

>>797858

>Human Mitty comes back

I'm torn. On the one hand, it would be super cheap and lame storytelling. On the other hand, her body is super lewd...

>>797784

It's the real Mitty. Bondroode visited Belarus probably less than a year ago in Layer 6 time.

>>797860

>...because Brondronde was happy and impressed Nanachi found a way to kill Mitty, and then he tried to steal Regs arms since they killed Mitty?

What the fuck are you even referencing? How could “Brondronde” be proud of Nanachi killing Mitty when she hadn’t met Reg yet? At what point did I even mention Reg and how is he relevant to the discussion? You’re a stupid nigger bitching out incoherently, don’t complain about other people not ”remembering” stuff if you can’t even keep the timeline straight, follow a conversation, or even goddamn spell correctly.

>>797843

Well that's if she doesn't lose it to that toilet by accident.

>>797692

>mitty had one eye fucked up

That was only after she got hit by bondrewd's laser while he was torturing her, so it makes sense she would be lacking it, as she didn't have it when belafu saw her.

>>797746

>Veko is Riko's mom

Not possible, she was there when the village was made, so if it is her the village would have to bar far younger than everything else indicates.

>>797770

He can't do it across layers.

>>797784

Either way it's weird, as the fake would have mitty's soul, or maybe that mitty soul was fake. Or bondrewd would have to have been duped by belafu, which I find highly unlikely as he is seemingly the most intelligent and conniving character in the series. And were that the case, would nanachi know? If she did why would she bother killing the clone? And they way belafu tells it, it seems the mitty in the village was synthesized only recently.

>>797788

Not only that, but he would seemingly need enough cartridges for his crew too, as he brought them with him to the sixth layer and he doesn't seem to have a ton of people joining him, so they were likely the same that got slaughtered by the scorpion things. So he probably wouldn't waste them getting cursed on the way back up from the 6th layer.

>>797858

>Oh and Mitty is human Mitty too

Un-fucking-acceptable. This better not happen.

>>797929

It could be Best Dad tricked her by showing her the regrowth and selling her a portion of Mitty under the assumption it would regrow. Then when Mitty died, the side-piece kept in Narehate village became the main Mitty Host or something like that.

>>797930

That's an interesting thing to think about. Seeing as others kinda theorized that maybe faputa could have such extreme narcissism so as to destroy the economy in ancap village, maybe mitty's ability to regen could do the same as she can technically keep losing bits of herself but keep regrowing them, making her an infinite source of value and also destroying the economy. Maybe that's how they'll buy back nanachi.

>>797834

There's a difference between "gender neutral" and gender ambiguity. Something like こいつ or そいつ (which I assume is the word used here) does not really translate to "it" or "they". We use "it" to refer to inanimate (genderless) objects. "They" is used in the singular when the speaker is referring to someone they don't know and can't see. Honestly it's not too out of place for the narehate to not know Nanachi's gender, but it's obvious to anyone else that she's a girl based on her friendship with Mitty and her insecurity at Reg cuddling her fluff and anyone who thinks otherwise is either gay or a faggot.

>>797931

Do you think Nanachi would be ok with repeatedly butchering Mitty like that would entail? Also why can't Nanachi talk anymore? Did she sell her mind and soul to that guy as well as her body?

>everyone wants to resurrect mitty

>no one cares about best daughter

Mitty is most likely tied to the village with no possible way of even taking her.

The village exists in its own pocket and I have a feeling its going to burst by the end.

>>797934

>>797937

I thought the chapter quite clearly stated they're under a sleep effect?

>>797933

It's probably the mangaka intentionally fucking with people at this point.

>>797939

>>797941

Oh shit, you're right.

>>797940

I mean she's had being cursed blessed, then deleting Nanachi with Reg's hand, then having to willing go back to the Idofront and see Bondrewd again. She's really been through a lot of shit already.

>>797841

Look at her squirm. She's clearly losing her virginity to that rope right then.

>>797929

>He can't do it across layers

If we assume that his "original" soul is stuck inside that weird artifact inside Idofront, then that's his anchor point. Whether or not his "main body" went down to the sixth layer would make zero difference, because his soul isn't contained inside any one body, including that one. So his soul is not going between it and the other praying hands; it's going between the machine and any body. If he was able to ride a body down to the sixth layer, then he has to be able to broadcast his soul across layers, or he had some dudes just carry that massive fucking artifact down there with them.

>>797931

I'm still bothered by the blatant disregard for conservation of mass of Mitty regenerating from nowhere. Even if there's a magical explanation rather than a scientific one, it has to be coming from SOMEWHERE. Maybe it's sucking value continually from the Village, and that's why Belafu wanted it.

>>798004

Makes me want an animation of him dancing to embed related

>>798026

From the way it seems to work, his soul is unbound by the relic, so he can swap whenever he want anywhere he goes, he just can't swap between layers. So he doesn't need the relic to come with him, he can just go himself, but should he die he can't swap to a body on a different layer, it has to be a body on the same one. That's why the praying hand in the flower field said he was unavailable.

>>797812

But Mitty became a grotesque blob of flesh, so using a tumblr pronoun is correct.

>>798110

But he's talking about nanachi not mitty.

If it takes that much of organs and limbs to create a mitty clone, what did Maa-kun do to resurrect himself after being torn to shreds?

>>798413

He offered the perkiness of his butt.

I want Bondrewd back

>>798445

Given how OP this village is maybe he will use it to create copy of Reg.

>>798413

I'm not sure it "takes" anything to make the Mitty clone because the market gods seem to handle the transaction. Rather, if Bondrewd was going to give a copy of his immortal fur blob, it had better fetch a damn good price.

>>798413

Mitty is an entire immortal being made wholesale, maa just had to pay enough to fix menya's butt.

>>798700

But its because Riko valued Menya so highly that Maa had to pay a severe price.

>>798445

We might get more flashbacks with him considering the role he played in this chapter. I hope so at least.

>>799750

I would like to mostly leave him alone now, as much as Best Dad was good it be nice for another shift in focus.

>>800768

That's cute, is it from the Doorbeetle artbook?

>>800768

>Boys

I've got some bad news for you.

>>800792

>he thinks Nanachi is female.

You have feelings for a shota faget.

>>800798

>he thinks nanachi isn't female

Sorry man the VA has spoken. Also reg is basically magnetically drawn to lolis.

>>801003

You spelled female wrong

>>801237

Crona? Isn't he a cannon boy?

>>801237

I don't know why you would cite Maruruk when the mangaka made it very obvious he was crossdressing. That doesn't help your argument.

>>801237

>Marulk

Not like it has anything to do with him. He's clearly a trap but Nanachi isn't confirmed for either. The mangaka even confirmed that on twitter.

>>801237

The true secret of the Abyss is that women don't exist

>>801456

>Bondrewd

>no weird fetishes

Take a closer look at his whistle.

>>801348

First of all, it's not "my argument". Don't make this personal. Second, if we establish that a canon boy can pass as a girl just by crossdressing, it makes the argument "someone must be a girl because they look like one" meaningless.

I'm not saying there is any evidence that Nanachi is a boy; I'm only saying that there is zero evidence Nanachi is a girl.

>>801456

Mitty dressed like a girl. Nanachi had on some kind of formless frock that was probably the only thing they could find in the garbage. We've seen what clothes Nanachi would wear by preference, and funnily enough it's topless. Not very much girl's clothes.

>>801482

<there is zero evidence Nanachi is a girl.

There is no definitive evidence, but there is plenty of hints in Nanachi's chemistry with other characters.

>Nanachi's friendship with Mitty is non-romantic

>Bondrewd calls Nanachi cute

>Nanachi is comfortable being cuddled by Riko

>Nanachi is flustered when cuddled by Reg

I would say there is zero evidence nor even so much as a hint that Nanachi is a boy.

>>801482

Check her clothes when she's in Bonedrewd's fortress. Dress with poofy sleeves.

>>801478

Meh. Looks like I finally found a MiA image that I won't save.

>>801482

>Nanachi would wear by preference, and funnily enough it's topless. Not very much girl's clothes.

Nanachi is just Nanachi, she is no longer human and doesn't need to dress human.

>>801492

>A preteen boy can't have a non-romantic friendship with a girl

>Boys can't be cute

Really??

>>801833

If you want him to go away stop indulging his idiocy and replying.

>>802068

There isn't anything that can be said that other anons have already, but because you are so autistic you just flat out brush them aside and keep trying to push your headcanon.

>>802068

Argue this homo-apologist:

Reg is able to immediately tell Marulk is a boy based on his smell isn’t attracted to him because he’s straight. Reg however, is explicitly attracted to Nanachi.

>>802083

This

Male-nanachi fags are cut from the same cloth as the people that ship characters on tumblr.

>>802090

I disagree.

They're like the ones that are redrawing anime with extra tumblr cancer; making characters trans-black or some stupid shit.

>>802083

Reg was also uncomfortable around Riko in the hot springs and made comments about the "bosom stones" in the manga. He clearly feels weird around women but normal around men. If Nanachi was male he wouldn't act as he does.

>People think Nanachi is male

What the fuck

>>802466

>>802481

Nanachi is naked so if she was a boy, his nuts would hang out.

>>802497

>Nanachi is naked

>>802497

Nanachi is fluffers.

>>802519

So is my cat, but I can still see his pee pee.

>>801473

I'm not seeing it.

Nearly On Red is fucking killing me. He paused doing his episode by episode analysis at episode 9, and has a documented aversion to child abuse. It's roughly his pattern to be doing another MiA episode on catchup now, and he's a day late to upload.

I need the suffering.

>>804308

>Nearly On Red

who?

>>804317

That's kind of the problem. His channel is really good, but his content is too detailed and specific for YouTube-tier attention spans. He watches shows as they air and breaks them down in a competent narrative analysis without watching the whole series in one go. Each individual episode gets a half to full hour analysis of themes, the art, narrative structure, conflicts, subplots, etc. Then spends the last 5 or 10 minutes making educated guesses about where the story is going.

His channel is very new and barely has a thousand subscribers. He got behind on videos and has so put his season 1 analysis on the back burner while he does currently airing shows. His present ongoing is Darling in the Franxx, with Made in Abyss and Land of the Lustrous getting very occasional episodes as he catches up on them. Embed is episode 1 of Made in Abyss.

>>804321

Probably depend of views, popular running title, or something. I give him a view.

I would called you shill but then again I need my MIB fixed, last chapter really left me hanging

>>804321

>Weekly episodes

>Each episode an hour long

>Professionally made

>Not catering to 12 year olds

Yeah, that guy isn't going to be a success on jewtube. Maybe he should start tasering dead animals or challenge people into boxing matches.

>>804335

>Maybe he should start tasering dead animals or challenge people into boxing matches.

There's a much easier way. He could do reaction videos.

>>804335

There exists the possibility that he attracts a small, but dedicated audience of autists who eagerly throw money at him. I've seen bloggers and pseudo-intellectual ideologues rake in 5k a month off patreon for their shitty essays and blatantly inaccurate critical analysis of various topics (usually pop culture).

>>804330

I unabashedly shill for things I like, so I don't mind the accusation. I want good things to do well. If that means writing a paragraph promoting the product of somebody I've never met, that's a tiny price to pay.

>>804321

This guys work is tremendous. I watched all of his made in abyss videos since last night to now and I'm really upset he stopped at episode 9 two months ago, just before the anime really hits the dirt. Oh well, thank you for posting it and I'm going to hopefully have a way to support him too. He's leagues ahead of every other anime youtuber.

>>797788

>>797929

Did you guys forget that Nanachi helped Bondrewd turn people into cartridges, as in worked at the operating table? We don't know how much time passed in between the elevator experiment and Nanachi and Mitty escaping. They could have processed an entire gondola of new orphans in that time.

>>804321

Does he know that the anime is adapted from a manga?

The way he analysis the story is under the assumption that the story was produced in and paced for a 12 episode cycle

Somebody should let him know that the story comes from a manga...

>>805319

Bullshit, I read the manga. That didn't happen. right?

>>805393

Dude she goes into detail about removing unessesary parts of a living organism to get them to fit into cartridges like skin, eyes, limbs, intestines, bones, etc.

>>805434

Not that anons but I'd have to search through those chpters to find "proof". Re-read the chapter from when they went don't to his level, basically right when the animu ended. While it isn't clear if Daddy was at the "cartridges" stage of his experiment yet, she did help him with Nanachi did help him with his human experiments and operated on quite a few test-subjects, which she continued after her escape in order to save Mitty.

On the plus side, the knowledge of she acquired during that time is what helped her save Riko.

>>805452

I wonder if Riko even grasps the gravity of Nanachi's crimes or if she is justifying it to herself somehow. Maybe she just doesn't have a developed morality system because not even under penalty of death/loss of humanity would it be acceptable to subject dozens of other people to something far worse.

>>805579

If you haven't noticed, Riko has below average intelligence, and almost no sense of danger.

>>805579

Riko is not a moral person. She knows Nanachi cut the flesh for kids' bones while they screamed, and she doesn't care. Nanachi is not only currently no threat to Riko, the fluffy one is rather helpful in Riko's goals. Riko has flat out said she doesn't care if someone is a good or bad person, only if that person can help her get what she wants.

>>805586

She is disturbed, albeit in a different sense from what you mean. Haven't you noticed?

>>805587

>Riko is not a moral person.

I doubt any of the kids from that orphanage are.

>>805587

In that case she should have just sold out Riko and Nanachi to Bonelewd in exchange for curse-proof power armor. That would have been the twist no one expected.

>>805600

Maybe she's just too much of an airhead, and that solution escaped her mind.

>>805587

>>805601

Riko loves her friends, she just doesn't care about their pasts because in her eyes, sins and relationships are ephemeral and what matters is how the person is likely to act in the future or something like that.

I don't like that child-like morality of hers, Bondrewd (and Nanachi) deserve to die.

>>805579

>>805452

>>805582

Or maybe Riko is smarter than most anons on /a/ since apparently you missed the

>he was frightening

>I lost to sheer terror

in >>805452

Also note that Riko probably realizes what you lot don't, that plenty of people who commit atrocities if told to by an authority figure, and even moreso if they dreaded that authority figure.

>>805624

Coercion and threats of bodily harm are powerful, but that defense only goes so far. Wouldn't you agree? Or would you say that having a gun to your head is an infinite justification for any action, no matter how horrible? How about unleashing nuclear apocalypse?

>>805631

She was a litle kid anon. You don't expect kids to have the same moral fortitude adults do

>bought the translation

>realize too late that it's very likely they'll pull some pronoun fuckery with Nanachi

>>805649

You know when child soldiers knowingly commit war crimes, international groups like the UN are mostly silent on whether or not they should be prosecuted. Because on one hand, kids are easily impressionable and don't fully understand the implications of what they are doing. But on the other hand, to say they aren't culpable at all is to say they have no agency, which they clearly do. Some more than others. It depends on how mature they are. Nanachi was wise beyond her years even as a kid. She probably placed the value of Mitty and herself above the random kids she was processing. From this perspective Bondrewd actually seems more sympathetic.

Bondrewd: sacrificed kids to beat the curse of the abyss which causes untold amounts of suffering to delvers.

Nanachi: sacrificed kids to save her own skin and the creature that was her best friend.

>>805648

The least Nanachi could do is show remorse for her actions and devout herself to atone for her sins so that she may eventually forgive herself.

Instead, she hardly reflects on her actions and even fails to put a stop to Bondrewd. Now he's free to kill countless other people to make cartridges or in his possession gambit.

>>805651

In my experience Seven Seas are a good publisher, they're the guys who brought Monster Girl Encyclopedia over. Aside that, if Akihito uses a nip nongendered pronoun for Nanachi there's nothing wrong with it carrying through the translation. Switching it to a different pronoun would be "localization" which everyone should be against.

>>805691

>>805651

I correct myself, did a bit of searching before buying a copy for myself and according to reddit there are some bad typos and translations. http://archive.is/SxPHe

At least if you got it off of Amazon you can return it like I did with the Overlord translations.

>>805693

I didn't catch that duplicate sixth layer thing. But I did notice they seemed somewhat inconsistent about honorifics.

It was really noticeable before Reg got his name, since he was referred to as Robot Boy in all but one or two instances, where Robot-kun was used, making it stand out. In contrast the fan translation used Robot-kun uniformly.

>>805587

Nanachi also saved riko's life and showed her nothing but kindness up until that point.

>>805587

To be fair she was doing what she thought she had to do. She is still a kid even if she is mutated.

>>805744

How could he not know that Nanachi would be popular. I just hope it doesn't start being so much about her so far its been an even split between all 3 characters so thats good.

>>805387

>Somebody should let him know that the story comes from a manga...

He knows. One of his remarks about Darling is that he's excited to be examining a not-adaptation.

>>805744

I see the NDF is out in full force today.

>>805806

Looks like two recaps movies and an OVA.

>>805812

>recaps movies

Why do they love making those so much? Is it just easy money or what? I could understand it they made those in cases where the last season aired years ago to easily generate some new interest and attention but so shortly after it ended?

>>805812

> recap movies of a 13 episode anime that has recap moments every single episode taking at least 3-4 minutes.

> OVA

Yay, 20-40 minutes long filler garbage focused entirely on fan service and moe kawaï uguu shit. As if the anime didn't have enough of that.

>>805805

Oh please. We all know pharmacist is bestgirl.

>>805806

Fucking sweet. I'm excited again.

>>805814

I think you generate interest in a different demographic by going with movies. The people who read the manga or watched the original airing are already hooked; with this, they reel in the film types in time for an OVA that tells a new story. (New to anyone who hasn't read the manga, at least.)

>>805826

Without the sweet, the sour loses its tang. Also, there was a lot of aside stuff that didn't get covered in the original airing, like Jiruo meeting with Ozen and talking about how Reg is using Lyza's mannerisms.

>>805826

>Yay, 20-40 minutes long filler garbage

Nah. I'm pretty sure the OVAs will be about the extra chapters from the manga.

>>805852

More than remorse, if you know anything about pathological coping and PTSD, the phrase "pretending not to see" should set off all kinds of alarm bells for how she felt about what was going on. She was literally unable to cope and so retreated into a buffering self-delusion. That's one step away from developing alternate personalities to externalize the trauma.

Bun needs a hug.

>>805852

>made an attempt to stop more of it happening in the future by trying to kill Bonedrewd.

Which was then abandoned, after they said they'd destroy the artifact that lets him stay alive. That completely killed that whole arc. They didn't even seem to attempt to shut him down, and now he's probably back to harvesting children.

>>805912

I mean they barely took him down as it is, I don't think they had the capacity to destroy the relic without reg going nuclear or something.

>>805979

Just shoot it...

>>805912

Not to mention the Praying Hands...

>>805979

Bondrewd had no more battle-capable Praying Hands left. They could just have shot that jelly rellic thing up with Reg's physics-defying weapon.

>>805912

But didn’t Riko shoot that artifact with Reg’s severed hand? It’s Zoaholic we’re talking about, right? What made them unable to destroy it?

>>805864

Yeah for real, she seems super traumatized by it and just buries it and tries to forget.

>>805912

What could they really have done? They destroyed two bodies of his and no longer had a chance of destroying another let alone zoaholic. They missed their opportunity when Reg went all Berserk and was going to bring the whole place down. Nanachi told Riko to run just as she was about to destroy zoaholic and then they barely destroyed another of Bonedrewd's bodies. Would they really have been able to destroy another let alone get back into the idofront and destroy zoaholic as well? At this point they were all exhausted and Riko had to poo so I don't know.

>>806001

If you go back and look Riko was going to do it but Reg was going to fire his incinerator full blast and bring the whole place down so Nanachi just told her to run and she presumably did instead of blowing up zoaholic

>>806349

I wanna do lewd things to that butt.

>>806349

Would be nice if they did something with Lyza's pickaxe. They didn't quite explain it, outside of it having some kind of unlimited ammo.. except not really, but maybe it's still useful... but all they've really done with it is almost lose it a few times. Part of Ozen's little training montage was to help Riko learn to use the Pick, so they should follow through with that already.

>>806489

Don't do that.

>>806491

The gunpowder inside is a separate artifact and can be used an unlimited number of times but the pickaxe itself is falling apart. And as long as Reg is around she probably won't have a reason to learn to fight.

>>806492

But I have a fetish for cute things.

>>806509

>Weapon Design by Monty Oum

>>806657

Wuxia with Guns is kino.

>>806509

Also things the gunpowder hits seemingly keep exploding.

>>807776

Some say the crimson splitjaw is still exploding to this day.

>>808585

He doesn't specify the sex so anyone can easily fantasize about Nanachi and consume the merch.

>>808585

Because the author himself doesn't yet know what to do about it. It will be decided definitely if he needs Nanachi's sex to be defined as either male or female for storytelling purposes, like Nanachi competing with Reg for Riko's affection or Nanachi competing with Riko for Reg's affection.

However if he were to decide the sex now and later on he wanted to write a story that needed it to be different, it would be a bit harder to do it.

Another explanation is that, as a narehate, Nanachi doesn't really have a "sex" in the traditional manner. Since you can pretty much trade your genitals at will and probably install extra ones, then everyone in that village is more like a jellyfish actually.

Occam's Razor: It's because Nanachi wasn't supposed to go past Bonedruid encounter so he never bothered to think about her sex.

>>808585

>>808593

I think the author might even be having a little bit of fun at the expense of the fans who frequently ask a question that the author originally thought was obvious.

>>808629

This is honestly probably the correct answer to that, yeah.

>>808585

it's a ruse towards trapfags. Buns is a girl deal with it

>>808659

>trapfags

Speaking of I don't think I've seen a single bit of fanart with Nanachi as a boy. It's pretty unanimous amongst artists that she's a girl.

>>808728

The best boys always do.

>>808585

Because he does not want people masturbating to her. he is totally fine with porn of other characters though.

>>808761

Yeah, could possibly be futa anyways. You'd think the artist would go for a bun penis instead of a dog one. Not that I'm complaining.

>>808800

Unless you provide proof of being a veterinarian or aspiring to become one, I'll have to call you a filthy heretic, on account of this extra-heretical knowledge.

>>808831

It's pretty obvious. You can't tell me you haven't come across kemono or bestiality hentai in all your time on the internet, regardless of whether or not you like it.

>>808834

Only dog and dolphin dong, so far.

>>808761

>why does anyone care?

Because your pic exists and this upsets me because it is defiling something I like very much.

All these pictures are just reminding me that I liked Nanachi's design better when I thought the horns were hers, not part of the helmet.

>>808870

>>808942

Nanachi is a cute girl. You can post cock pictures all you want, but all I see is a cute girl with a benis.

>>808971

>all I see is a cute girl with a benis

Same here. Nothing wrong with that.

>>808971

The blessing of the abyss gave her a cock because she wanted to please Mitty, she never asked for this.

The mangaka hasnt said either gender so both sides are wrong. Now shut the fuck up about it.

>>809061

>Now shut the fuck up about it.

Just use your eyes.

>>809117

I tried, but Nanachi never appeared nude so I couldn't confirm or deny the existence of any genitals either way.

>People that look like a girl are always a girl

>In an anime with a canon passable trap

Uh huh. Also, here's your reminder that the only reason Reg could tell Marulk is a boy is because he smelled like a boy (no idea how that works when said boy is prepubescent, but then again I neither have a dog's nose nor do I make a habit of going around smelling prepubescent boys). That won't work on Nanachi because they only smell like delicious fluffiness, even under the tail, so Reg would be oblivious.

>>809137

I have no idea where people saw that about Marulk and more specifically that it was by smell.

Until I read this thread, I was convinced that Marulk was a girl but "she" either knew Reg or some foreshadowing was taking place with how well they got along.

And some chapters later, someone in a similar position became a literal White Whistle, so what do I know?

>>809162

It's more vague in the manga, where unlike the anime Reg doesn't go right out and SAY that Marulk is a boy, he just implies there is something going on. First time I read the manga I didn't suspect it was that, either.

>couldn't tell

Am I seriously the only one that knew instantly that Maru was a trap? It's in the eyes.

>>809387

The manga shows Marulk strung up naked and he has a boy physique though.

>>809407

Nigger, what is the difference between a girl and boy physique in this style? Cause he looks the same as riko.

>>809489

Sounds like you need to spend more time looking at cute young boys, anon.

>>809489

Shoulders are wider set, collarbones are more pronounced. Rib and belly area are more lean, nipples are smaller and leaner.

>>809559

>that leak

Holy shit tukushi.

>>809559

Maybe that’s why Ozen has Jiryu bringing her all those weird ingredients. Also that is way too lewd for a christian imageboard, reported.

>>809387

How did you miss it? It was incredibly hinted at even without Reg outright saying it.

>>809576

The only question: is it pee or precum?

>>809387

Ah, I've only read the manga so far, guess it's more obvious there.

I don't frequently see enough shota to make the distintion between girl and boy, I can only tell from the face usually and Marulk has those ornaments and nice hair.

Even here: >>809559 that's puffy nipples. Come the fuck on, how is that not a loli, talk about a switcharoo.

>>809576

>>809741

Look at his face and the side of his body. It's tears, you glorious sick fucks.

>>810725

There's way too much moisture in between the legs to be tears, and there's no visible path for the tears to flow to that spot.

>>809741

>>809559

It's pee, however his weenie is probably touching his legs/sticked to them because of sweat, and as such, the pee trickles on his legs, instead of going in an arch. I remember someone mentioning, that because the pee wasn't going in an arch, it meant he had a vagina, but I forgot to give this explanation.

The pronounced nipples, are because of the cold in the second layer, which as we all know makes them erect.

>>810740

Cold might make nipples erect, but boys just don't have nipples that huge.

>>810781

It just dawned on me, if jiruo can carry a pack that big, why is he not swole as fuck?

>>811034

You could say the same thing about Riko dragging up 200 pounds of (mostly useless) artifacts every time.

>>811034

Maybe he's cheesing it with artifacts like Ozen.

>>810781

>pretty heavily

Oh come now, he's just commenting on the clothes. Maybe "she" wasn't supposed to have them, or they mean a promotion or the clothes belonged to someone else important. There's a lot of other explanations that do not require thinking about gender to begin with.

Of course that looks fishy and somethin's up, I gathered that much reading that page. But not that it was a trap.

If you could tell Maruruk was a boy straight eh away, you're reading too much shota/trap doujins.

>>808585

Probably because it doesnt matter what genitals a furry child has due to the fact that it has no relevance on the story what so ever.

Also does this shit update ever? Been two months since last update almost, shit is killing me.

>>811402

Personally, that's what I thought. I figured Jirou was making commentary on the fact that Marulk's clothes are NOT good for delving, considering standard gear (as shown by what Riko wears) are unisex. Regardless of whether its a boy or a girl, being a delver and being forced to wear that must be humiliating.

>>811512

I really wish the series at least had a consistent monthly release. Waiting like this is like waiting through a miniature hiatus after every chapter.

>>810781

Huh. I never noticed before. Jiruo is wearing a boom mic.

>>811700

He's operating operationally.

>Sentai translator wants to use gender neutral terms in the subs for Nanachi

>and Marulk

Sure, Nanachi is confirmed fluffy but isn't Marulk male? Why use neutral pronouns? (What would Sentai even use? English doesn't have neutral pronouns unless you use they/them which is grammatically incorrect when referencing a singular person despite what SJWs insist.)
