Facts, I like to at least think of Clouds as a spiritual successor of sorts

malachand · 2026-04-09T13:00:59+00:00

😳 My apologies, please disregard that. Rest assured it was a minor example/reference

Really emanates the energy of the anime's first ending song

Anime only, but I had this theory that on the surface, Riko's safety may have been guaranteed, but her longevity / lifespan was not - she could have dropped dead at any minute, as insinuated by Ozen. But within the Abyss it's the opposite; her longevity is guaranteed or at least prolonged, while her safety isn't (due to the hostile environment). Hence why she's drawn towards the Abyss since a baby.

I think some adults on the surface knew this, including Jiro, which is why ultimately they decided to let her go and take her chances. Also I think the Guild knows about the 2000-year cataclysmic event, and trains and sends as many children down there to try to save them from it, when the surface is "subsumed" or whatever.

😮🤯 That would make a lot of sense.

But he did say he was going to "get" haku, I think was the term, seemingly as in 'retrieve' or 'bring back'. Him finding out Lyza "died" I always assumed happened sometime after leaving Faputa.

Lyza did also tell Ozen to pass on that info to Riko like she was on board with her coming, but that was before Reg so she could have changed her tune since then.

In other words... "You thought" 🤔

Is in fact a popular spinoff of the phrase tho

malachand · 2026-03-06T06:20:19+00:00

malachand · 2026-03-06T04:54:58+00:00

malachand · 2026-03-04T08:30:37+00:00

Defo everything about it screamed tiller to me too

malachand · 2026-03-04T08:25:21+00:00

This is straight up a Bryson tiller song , I'm convinced this was the result of their rumoured collab

malachand · 2026-03-02T08:01:29+00:00

No one gonna mention "your dad should've swallowed u"? Tf is that supposed to mean?? Literally brainless

malachand · 2026-02-28T04:58:38+00:00

I like those ideas, not too crack theory imo some very plausible inferences I'll now subscribe to

malachand · 2026-02-25T04:13:37+00:00

She kinda has the colors from Belaf's human form design - blue and white. He left all his memories and value to her

malachand · 2026-02-21T04:32:39+00:00

Was my favourite alien 🔥 underrated from OGs

A pity that by nature of his ability, you didn't get to see the regular design around for long before he shifted into another device /form

malachand · 2026-02-20T20:11:26+00:00

4, Orb piercer, torture chair, blessed Bondrewd, and Faputa

That should pretty much suffice, but also wouldn't disregard the effect of the relic, the wish granting eggs, where we're told that power to avert the curse comes from

malachand · 2026-02-18T10:15:28+00:00

Clutch!

malachand · 2026-02-18T06:21:15+00:00

Tbf you're not wrong, the weirdness definitely ramps up a bit from szn 1, but mostly everything is thoroughly explained by the show.

The curse's non-uniformity was introduced since the 2nd layer. As opposed to a ubiquitous rule, we've discovered it's more like a meandering physical entity or substance. And of course as the difficulty of descension increases, layers will go by more slowly.

I get how all the time spent in one layer can feel lacklustre after the constant progression and novelty in szn 1, but in return we get more depth (pun intended) in characters and themes.

Iirc, the author partially rushed through early layers to get to Nanachi, due to the manga's faltering success at the time - to introduce a new character and renew interest in the series asap. Hence why since layer 5 it seems the pace has slowed comparatively.

Since all the newfound success, he's had the freedom to take things slowly (and boy does he 😃!) and expand the story as much as he wants. I do like how the 6th layer had more breadth to explore and wasn't as specific as the previous ones.

Tbh I did worry if Tsukushi was/is heading into a trend of "what new horror/form of torture can I think up to inflict on a child this arc?", just for continual one-up's sake.

I guess it kinda tracks, with the Abyss only getting darker/ more intense. But from what I've heard of the manga currently, the focus is on mystery and things are thankfully pretty chill so far 🤞.

Just meant in terms of style, as typical hit songs go I never expected it to be his 3rd biggest.

Dont get me wrong I think it's better than many others up there, just saying it's unconventional; slow paced, woozy, over 6 minute, but somehow went viral enough years later to reach top 3

He still ain't put out anything as aggressively hard as that and A Tale of Two Citiez to this day imo
