Made in Abys Riko's Personality

(Quote: Made in Abyss anime)

Roko was born with blonde hair and was 12 years old when she first appeared in the story. She wears glasses, but it's not because she has bad eyesight; she wears them because she was born with severe headaches when she doesn't see objects through the crystalline lens. that reason may be because she was born in the Abyss. (Details are described in "Her Mystery" below) She has a free-spirited personality and always involves the characters around her. For example, my friends at the orphanage, Nat and Shiggy, were also victims of this, and when they found Reg, they worked together to do all sorts of things to keep Reg from being found by the orphanage teacher. Ziruo, the teacher at the orphanage, is also having a hard time with Riko and sees her as a problem child.

Her personality is very similar to her mother Ryza's, and while people around her would normally be appalled and turn away from her, she has a charm that makes them want to cooperate with her. This is very similar to the curiosity of children, which we adults have lost. However, her curiosity sometimes seems abnormal. When she found Reg, she was very interested in him and even though he looked like a robot, she drilled him in the arm and stuck a stick in his butt. Furthermore, Reg's name is the name of a dog she used to have. Also, regarding the inhumane experiments of BONDREWD, one of the White Whistle, she said, "I can't help but understand how you feels," and although her lack of morals can be seen, she is blessed with friends. So let's hope we choose the right path.

What is Riko's Purpose?【Made in Abyss】

(Quote: Made in Abyss anime)

Riko's goal in the story is to go to the lowest level of the Abyss and meet his mother. Her mother is Lyza and her father is Toka, both of whom are White Whistle rank Abyss cave explorers. Together they and their expedition reach the lowest levels of the Abyss, but their expedition disintegrates there. Although it is unknown whether Lyza and Toka are alive or dead, they gave birth to Riko in the Abyss and used an relic to avoid the Abyss' curse and sent Riko to the surface. The person who sent Riko away was Ozen, who later became White Whistle. In the story, Ozen takes a strong stance against Riko, but in the end Ozen helps Riko get to the bottom of the Abyss. Ozen may be a combination of Riko and Lyza.

Since Riko was break up with her mother from the moment she was born and lived on the ground, Riko only knows that her mother is White Whistle and her name is Lyza. However, this was the motive behind her intense attraction to the Abyss. Shortly thereafter, Riko receives a letter from Lyza, who is at the bottom of the Abyss, and says, "Wait at the Abyss bottom." Riko decides to dive into the Abyss.

Riko is only 12 years old and was said to be too young to go to the Abyss, but Lyza's letter pushed Riko back.

Maybe Riko wanted to see his mother that much. .

About Riko's Mother Lyza from Made in Abyss

(Quote: Made in Abyss anime)

Riko's mother is one of the few people who possesses a White Whistle Delver, and is known as "The Annihilator." She was apprenticed to the White Whistle Ozen "The Immovable" and later became a White Whistle herself. Lyza became pregnant with Torka's child within Made in Abyss, and the child was named Riko.

Lyza, like Riko, has a curious personality and dreams of exploring the Abyss, and has the power to make that dream come true. She wields an Abyss relic called Blaze Reap as a weapon, and uses Blaze Reap's ability to explode to conquer the Abyss. Lyza made her "last dive in Abyss" and left a letter for Riko saying, "I'll be waiting for you in the Abyss." What she wanted to tell Riko seems like it will be a key word in the story.

Riko's abilities Made in Abyss

(Quote: Made in Abyss anime)

Food is a matter of life and death in The Abyss. Even if you bring food that lasts a long time, it may eventually rot and become unusable, or you may be attacked by a monster in the Abyss and drop it. In other words, the Abyss requires skills to cook monsters and plants inside the Abyss. Riko is relatively good at cooking, so much so that Nanachi and Reg look forward to Riko's cooking every time. As a side note, Riko's cooking is only in the story, but she is depicted so well that you want to eat it. Especially the melting look on Nanachi's face, who has never eaten proper food, is a must-see.

Also, Riko's knowledge of Abyss is second to none. She knows Abyss so well that she has memorized the Abyss notes that Lyza left behind, and she can tell Reg and Nanachi about the characteristics of this monster and what kind of attacks it uses. Her cooking skills are also utilized as mentioned above, and Riko is able to think and put into practice things like whether Abyss plants and monsters are edible and how to cook them.

Lastly, it is questionable whether this is Riko's own power, but Prushka's White Whistle has the ability to manipulate some relic in the Abyss, and this can only be used by Riko. It also has the effect of powering up Reg, so it can be said to be Riko's most powerful ability. Riko uses cooking, knowledge, and the White Whistle to grow further in the story, so I'm looking forward to seeing what abilities she'll gain in the future.

Riko's mother had something like a large sickle, so Riko might use weapons in the future.

About the mystery of Riko Maide in Abyss

(Quote: Made in Abyss anime)

According to Ozen's story in Made in Abyss, Riko is already dead. When Lyza was pregnant with Riko, Lyza was on a mission from her country to find a "time-stopping relic" at the bottom of the Abyss. However, Lyza and her team of cave explorers collapsed there, losing many of their friends, including Riko's father, Toka. Riko was born under these circumstances and was stillborn, but when Ozen placed her in a relic, a "the curse repelling vessel", Riko was brought back to life. So Lyza and Ozen abandoned their national mission and sent Riko back to on the ground. At that time, Lyza remained in the Abyss and Ozen delivered Riko. Ozen actually wanted to return with Lyza, but he decided to respect Lyza's wishes and return to the surface with Riko. Ozen is Riko's lifesaver.

According to Ozen, the true effect of "the curse repelling vessel" is not to avoid the curse of the Abyss, but to revive those who enter those vessel. Ozen analyzes that Riko is just a moving corpse and doesn't know when it will stop moving. It's strange when I think about it. Even in the story, Riko does not suffer from the Abyss curse that causes her hair to bend or her body to change, as Ozen and Prushka do. This may also be the cause of Riko's attempts to head to the Abyss when she was a baby, and the phenomenon in which she gets headaches when she cannot see objects through her crystalline lens.

Maybe Riko's birth is something special and will greatly expand the story in the future...

Why is she hated by Made in Abyss fans?

(Quote: Made in Abyss anime)

When searching the internet, it seems that Riko is not well-received both in Japan and overseas. For example, if you search for "Made in Abyss Riko," people will say her hate it, it's annoying, or it's a b*tch. Why is Riko so hated? We did some analysis and came up with the following results.

There were many voices like the one above on the internet. It's true that Riko's weakness is that she's selfish. She may have gotten those around her involved, or she may have gotten a powerful item called White Whistle by chance, which some fans find annoying. If she grows up and becomes a dependable character in the story, I think this kind of voice will disappear. I look forward to seeing Riko's future activities! !
