Made in Abyss Season 2 Episode 4 - Reg encounters Faputa

Episode 4 of Made in Abyss kicked off from where it left off in the third episode. Faputa was concerned about Reg and wanted to know what happened to his arm as if she had known him for ages. The latter even recalled a certain event where the former addressed him by name.

Faputa, startled after witnessing so many hollows looking at her through the barrier, fled from the spot and hopped onto her robot companion. Meanwhile, Majikaja and Nanachi strolled around the market discussing balancing and Signals of the Soul. Majikaja wanted to know what Nanachi values the most in her life, to which she replied, Mitty and her current friends.

After getting to know Mitty was alive and being held by Belaf, one of the three sages, Nanachi was shocked. Faputa, on the other hand, was still unsure about Reg’s identity and wanted to check on him thoroughly. Faputa even pierced through Reg’s belly because of her uncertainty, however, the latter eventually left as he wasn’t getting anything from Faputa regarding the past.

On his way back to the village, Reg came across a shower of eternal fortunes and funeral nameplates dropped from Orth, which made him wonder what was happening on the surface. With Reg and Nanachi’s absence, Riko became restless and wandered off to look for them despite being unfamiliar with the area.

Riko wanted to get to Majikaja and followed directions laid by several Hollows, but later found herself and Meinya being abducted. However, the Hollow that previously injured Meinya by accident came to the rescue and saved both of them. The village’s defense system gets activated yet again to perform the balancing.

Riko thanked Hollow for saving her and named it "Maaa." Riko then asks Maa to join her in finding Majikaja and her friends. Together, they head over to the restaurant, where Riko finds out that there are other Hollows like Majikaja who can speak her language, including the chef and Wazukyan.

Following Majikaja, Nanachi heads to Belaf’s lair where she finds out Mitty is somehow alive despite being incinerated by Reg’s arm. A brief glimpse of the past showed Vueko being held captive by a number of hollows.
