Made in abyss dawn of the deep soul6/22/2023 In the world of Made In Abyss, Lyza’s return means that she has gone to depths from which she cannot physically ascend and remain human, even with all of her strength and cave-delving prowess. Petals of eternal fortune flowers, Lyza’s favorites, flutter through the air as Riko’s balloon reaches the surface, much like the flower petals and confetti that celebrated Lyza’s own return. It’s no coincidence that Riko’s Episode 13 return echoes that of her mother in the series’ second episode, which in turn started Riko’s journey with Lyza’s white whistle and letter to her daughter. Riko had already accepted the fact that she is unlikely to ever leave the Abyss, but her message confirms this in a visual way while giving Riko her own return. With the fifth layer of the Abyss well within her sights as she descends through the fourth with Nanachi as her guide and the ever-loyal Reg as her protection, Riko knows that she’s physically closer to her own “last dive” than she is to the surface and Orth. She cannot return to the surface due to the curse of the Abyss and has decided to continue journeying towards the bottom with no definitive end outside of her own curiosity and potentially meeting her mother. The final episode of Made in Abyss ends with an anime-only, remarkably-fitting ending where Riko sends a message up to her home city of Orth from the abyss. (spoilers for Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul) Riko’s entire journey through the Abyss began with her desire to see her mother Lyza again while living in the massive shadow of her mother’s legacy. She wants to continue adventuring immediately (despite a near life-ending injury among other things). Outside of an affirmative yell and calling Nanachi’s name, this is Riko’s last statement within the scope of Made In Abyss‘ 13-episode run. “My mother is waiting for me, after all!”
